For example, Spiceblue thought me the importance of Punctuality and the necessity to have a little shrewdness and more importantly, it thought me to have the right attitude when it came to both my personal life and soon to be a Professional life as well. Recruiting for Spiceblue was an experience that thought me a lot about a lot of people that are out there.

The hardworking striving for their respective families, the people who try to justify their each and every singe mistake, the people who would never take any responsibility for any of their wrong-full actions, the never ending lame excuses that people tell you when they want to re-schedule an interview or when they are no longer interested in coming in for the interview and the worst part is that they do this crap after I would schedule an interview appointment with them, so that was just very pissing off.

The annoying part was not the part when they were no longer interested, it was their super lame excuses that they would spontaneously say which was simply impossible to believe. For Example: Sir I met with an accident, a truck hit my bike and I have broken my leg. Is it okay if i come next week for the interview? HAHA I mean come on man really? That’s your excuse? A broken leg and your gonna be all fine or in a condition to attend an interview the coming week with a broken leg. And if a truck hit your bike, how did you just break a leg? What happened to your face or your arm’s. People told me the funniest and the most un-digestible excuses that can possibly be told and another thing was when people would just hang up on your face while I would still be talking to them while explaining the detail’s about the full time employment or the internship but to face all of that well, it’s all a part of the Recruiter’s Job.

So I developed a bit of a thick skin and Spiceblue kind off changed me in a small but in a good way because I got the best exposure that a HR Intern could get and the working atmosphere is nice. Your are surrounded by very friendly employees who are hardworking and well I learnt a lot for the better.

And if i had to describe my Boss Prem, well then all I can say is that he’s one COOL DUDE. Like really, a very chilled out person even for a Modern Boss and yeah of course there were a hand full of times when he would scream or yell but that was only when I would do something stupid or when i was not doing my work properly. And by far he’s the only person to have called me a Dumb-ass and he was serious when he did. Haha I know, I can’t believe it either but yeah I did do a lot of stupid thing’s while interning at Spiceblue like a lot but they were all silly mistakes which I learnt from. He’ s an Awesome Guy and he would make conversation with all of his employees and maintain a friendly nature and well like I said, “A COOL DUDE”.

So to have worked at a place where you have friendly employees and A Nice Boss is something that the people who hate their job’s fantasize about and Spiceblue is an experience that I can recall even year’s from now not only because it was my First Internship but because I enjoyed the experience and it taught me how to be realistic and practical and to maintain realistic expectation’s in every minor or major moment’s of my Life more importantly it taught me to dream big and work hard.
