Hence it is very important to carry out a proper job analysis before writing the Job Description. Job analysis involves an understanding of the the different jobs in the organization. The qualification required to carry out a particular job needs to be understood.  Once this is done then the Job description needs to be prepared.

Hence proper recruitment is very important for any organization to grow. For proper recruitment the different methods of recruitment need to be understood like internal and external.

Bill Gates: Candidates who do not have management diplomas may leave.
500 people leave the room.

Kantibhai says to himself, 'I left school at 15 but what have I got to

Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo - Croat to leave.
498 people leave the room.

Kantibhai says to himself, ' I do not speak one word of Serbo - Croat but
what do I have to lose?' So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate.
Everyone else has gone.

Bill Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates
who speak Serbo - Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation
together in that language.'

Calmly, Kantibhai turns to the other candidate and says...... 'kem chho?'

The other candidate answers ........ 'Ek dam Maja Ma'
