As promised I would to write something on my meeting with Mr. Bishnujee Singh.
This I am doing for the benefits of the people who were not able to meet him due
exams or other reasons.
Since so many days have passed and I can't boast of a crystal memory, so all I will
pen is what I have retained and remember. Another thing is the lettering may not be
exact what Mr. Bishnujee said but the essence is same.
Clad in a white t-shirt with Boeing 787's front view jutting out from the chest region, he
sat in one corner of his hotel room in front of his open laptop, while we, four of us ,
circled him.
Introductions apart he moved on to the themes and the discussions that were
interesting revealing and inspiring.
Here I try to present his advice on various things.
On finding jobs:
Don't only just go for the newspaper jobs, These mostly come out at last resort or as supplements. So when you are ready, just send in your resumes direct to the hiring managers!!!!! Reference do play a part so select it carefully.
On general mood of the aesi people.
Change your attitude, be proud of what you are doing. Know and believe its one of the
best course that you are doing. Know your worth. And instead of looking on the
negative people of aesi but see bright sides like anshuman etc and so many others who are and have achieved success. Face the sun and all shadows will fall behind!!!!!
On studying:
Read entirely. read with passion and with full dedications. Studying for AMAeSI is a full time job. Devote your full time to it. Save yourself from part time jobs craze unless it helps in your professional development.
On Mtech:
As my views in ouraesi, its more important to get some good experience in some
blue-chip companies than studying oceans and HR in IIT's!!!! The world comes to
India not to get a manager but and engineer. So get those skills.
On studying abroad,
Well I insist on UK because its much more easier to get there and study than US
and one should have a minimum work exposure so that they don't feel alien to the ms courses offered!!!
Well that's it for now. This is the only thing I remember right now, will write back if I
remember something else. And yes, as I said the wording may not be exact same
but the essence is totally same.
But before I close I would like to add a thanks to Mr. Bishnujee for the time and the
effort he took for all of us. Its great to see a person making a difference. And like the
Boeing 787 soaring on his t shirt, I wish him all the best for his career and wish it to
soar new heights!!!!
