Saurav Sends Resume to Infosys, Rejected

Kolkata:

Out of job, former captain of the Indian Cricket Team, Saurav Ganguly, entered the IT job market recently by sending his resume to well known Tech companies like Infosys and Wipro. In an interaction with the media recently, at his home in Kolkata, he announced that he had engaged the services of a professional Resume Drafting company to build what he called a ‘Killer Resume’ for himself.



A representative of the Human Resources Department at Infosys, however was unable to confirm receiving Mr. Ganguly’s Resume. On being asked whether she thought Mr. Ganguly would make a good candidate for a Tech job, the representative, on condition of anonymity, let it be known that the Infosys top management had already anticipated that Mr. Ganguly would apply to their organization and had conducted a detailed review of his suitability to the job. They found him to be unsuitable on account of his lack of relevant experience. The representative advised Mr. Ganguly to gain at least 2 years work experience in a mid-tier IT Company before re-applying to Infosys.



An entry-level employee of Infosys, who spoke with us on condition of anonymity, advised Mr. Ganguly to apply for the position of a Project Manager instead. This employee believes that he matched the job requirements for the position of PM perfectly, since he too contributed little or nothing to the success of his team, relying instead on middle and junior level members of his team to get the job done.
