How would you like the idea of being able to sit on your sofa couch while making the next business report for your boss? Or maybe the flexibility to watch your favorite TV show while work hours? These are a couple of possibilities linked to the latest trend of working from home. Not only is working in an office stressful and demanding, but also costly for both employee and employer. Therefore, most people have always considered the idea of working from home at some point, and thanks to technology almost all of them have the options now as well. Considering the financial and personal advantages that full-time employees would have, even if they only worked a couple of days per week from home, most people would consider it the ideal set-up. However, like everything else in life, working from home has both its pros and cons. Read More »

Question from the Job Seeker

I have been working in a newly formed Media related company for a year; unfortunately I was terminated without any intimation or warning. The management often praised me for my performance and showed confidence in me as a valuable resource. However, one fine day the HR manager called me and said the management was not satisfied by my performance and they have decided to let me go. The HR manager further added that it would be my choice to either continue working for the rest of the month or leave the position after handing over the official matters to my supervisor. I decided to leave immediately so I handed over everything to my superior and left. Read More »

We often see attractive advertisements from companies; “JOIN US”, “INTERESTED? WE ARE INTERESTED IN YOU”, “WALK IN INTERVIEWS!”, “COMPETITIVE PAY, JOIN UP NOW!” All these seem very interesting and they do tickle the mind of the humble and sincere human resource. However, in some cases companies posting these advertisements are not professional at all – regardless of the time since they opened their doors to business. “How can a company be bad?” that is the question that most of us ask, we look at the advertisement and we apply – right?

Question from the Job Seeker

 I have recently completed my undergraduate studies with my majors in Finance. My family and friends strongly believe that I should do my Masters without delay. They say that this will offer me better or well-paid job opportunities. However, there are few instructors who say that the job experience is always a better option after Bachelors because it increases the exposure and learning of the professional world. I applied to certain entry level jobs and received job offers. They are surely paying less (as compared to my expectations), but they say that this will increase over the period. My family members are still against it and want me to make the decision. Can you help me figure this out?

Many employers are resorting to telephonic interviews for recruitment and selection of their employees. In the fast-paced job market, companies try not to compromise on their workforce productivity (as well as costs). For convenience and cost-effectiveness, several organizations perform their job interviews over the phone.

 Telephonic interviews are not restricted to any specific level of job. Fresh graduates to top-managers could be interviewed for a job over a phone call. You might also have experienced a pre-screening conversation from a prospective employer or even a detailed final interview conducted over the phone. Apparently, some people would consider telephonic job interviews as relatively “easier” since you are not required to show up in person Read More »

Question From the Job Seeker:

I’m currently working as a front desk/customer service representative for a telecommunications franchise. I have been with this company for the past ten months, and I love my job. However, I have recently found out that one of my co-workers (she also happens to be my supervisor) is involved in a well-discreet scam and has defrauded the organization along with several of its clients. She has done this in quite a clever manner since she’s been able to remain under the radar up till now. Apart from me, probably no one else knows about this, and I am afraid to confront her or disclose any information, as it could potentially cost me the job. However, I would also feel guilty not to reveal the truth, despite being anxious of the outcomes. What should I do? Report her or just keep my mouth shut?

Sobia Naseem

Answer From ROZEE.PK

Dear Sobia,

If you have come across a situation which is very much serious, and you strongly believe that a co-worker has crossed the lines of unethical behavior, you should sincerely consider the idea of notifying your organization’s HR or her reporting manager. Such acts of fraud, embezzlement, sabotage or sharing of intellectual property by a colleague would not only damage a company’s reputation but would also create a dreadful workplace. Furthermore, the last thing you would want is to be pointed out as a partner in crime, in case your organization finds out that you concealed the truth, without taking any action. Read More »
