Shalaka,
While interviewing anyone with 5+ yrs of
experience, recruiters invariably ask:-
.
Who do you report to ?
. Who (-and, often) / how many report to you?
Answers to these questions, tell them candidates
position (level) in corporate Hierarchy. The higher he reports, the more “important" his position. The greater the
no. of people who report to him (span to control),the more responsible" his position. In good old days, many companies had
a place for showing Your Organization Chart In their printed "Application Forms" (I had introduced
this in L & T, when i became DGM + Personnel, in 1979).
I would like to introduce this as the STAGE 6 and
named "Organizational Profile".This page, will present/ display to the candidate a "Block diagram" as shown
on preceding page, except that,
. Central
Block will get onto - filled
. There
will be no need to say "Myself"
But, by showing upper block as "My Boss"
and lower blocks as "My subordinates" (latest fashion - politically
correct is to use words "My Reports" !), we are
making things abundantly clear.
The moment candidate types in those blocks,
inserted instructions disappear. Since a person may have many Subordinates, we could provide a horizontal scroll bar in the "Block Diagram". But, how can we show a huge
horizontal Diagram in profile ?
