Which do you consider more valuable? Formal education or skills and why?
IN MY LONG EXPERIENCE I HAVE FELT THAT HAVING SPECIAL SKILLS IS DEFINITELY MORE VALUABLE THAN FORMAL EDUCATION. FOR INSTANCE I AM A QUALIFIED PAPER TECHNOLOGIST BUT MY EXPERTISE IS IN TEA AND IN PRODUCT EXPORT & IMPORT. I HAVE SUUCESSFULLY WORKED WITH MANY TEA AND INTERNATIONAL TRADING COMPANIES IN DIRECTORIAL LEVEL NOT ONLY IN INDIA BUT ALSO ABROAD. THIS DEFINITELY PROVES MY WORTH AS A SKILLED PERSON ALTHOUGH IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY FORMAL EDUCATION.
Describe the benefits of working with others
SINCE I AM CUT OUT AS A MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATION PERSON I NEED AN INFRASTRUCTURE TO ASSIST ME TO PROVE MY WORTH. SINGLEHANDEDLY ONE CAN ONLY GIVE IDEAS BUT TO IMPLEMENT YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH AN ORGANISATION. HENCE IT IS CERTAINLY CLEAR BENEFIT WORKING WITH OTHERS.
Describe the benefits of working alone
I HAVE BEEN WORKING AS A FREELANCE CONSULTANT FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IF ONE IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING RESULT IN HIS SPECIFIED FIELD AND SPECIALLY BEING A CONSULTANT IT IS THEN A DISTINCT ADVANTAGE AS THERE WOULD BE NO CONTRADICTION OF IDEAS AND ONE CAN WORK FREELY AND UTILISE HIS EXPERTISE IN THE BEST POSSIBLE MANNER WITHOUT ANY HINDRANCE FROM OTHERS. WE ALL KNOW THAT "TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH". HE IS FREE TO TAKE HIS OWN DECISIONS AND CARRY ON WITH THE JOB WITHOUT ANY HASSLES OR CONFUSION.
What was your worst working experience?
WHEN I WAS WORKING AS A MANGING DIRECTOR OF AN INTERNATIONAL TRADING COMPANY IN DUBAI. ALTHOUGH THE COMPANY DID VERY LUCRATIVE BUSINESS BUT EVERYBODY IN THAT COUNTRY STARTING FROM CO DIRECTORS, STAFF, CLIENTS ETC ARE MOSTLY FRAUDULENT PEOPLE. LYING BECOMES A HABIT AND IT WOULKD OBVIOUSLY BE A VERY DIFFICULT PLACE FOR A PURE AND HONEST PERSON.
What is the most important lesson you have learnt throughout your career?
THAT ALTHOUGH TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, ADMINISTRATION ETC PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE BUT FINALLY IT WOULD BE COST CONTROL AND PROFIT ORIENTED MARKETING WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR ANY BUSINESS TO GROW AND SURVIVE. TO ME MARKETING IS THE SPINAL CORD OF A BUSINESS.
