Learning at Vacations

‘Its appalls me as to how the youth waster their time during vacations!’ , my dad exclaimed. He recruits people for his company and this was one of woes. He made it a point to ask the candidates this question as to how they spent their vacations. I did not find a point in that question initially. But later on, it made sense. The job scene currently is such that the prospective candidates need to be on the lookout for acquiring knowledge in their field in their free time or vacations. Hence, if my dad received an answer like ‘I slept around, hung out with friends.’ He did not consider their name another time. It was simple. I you joined the company; you had to slog around for them for most of the time. Of course, you did receive the benefits such as all expense paid vacation packages from the company and so on, but that was after you joined them. Before that, your vacations were meant to be productive. It might hit one hard, as to how they can be expected to slog during vacations, rather than killing time with friends, boozing in hotels and bars. The companies needed an assurance before recruiting you that you would adhere to their emergency needs, if required in the holidays as well. It showed your commitment level to your job. If you were one who loitered around aimlessly in your vacations, then, the company would equate your behavior to something similar even after joining them. Some of them obviously bluffed through this question giving lofty answers, but nonetheless, they failed to deliver when required and eventually found their way out of their jobs. If one could promise change to the recruiters, as to slogging hard for them, that served as a sort of warranty for your performance. If you could back up that promise with performance, it was all that mattered!
