Creating References!

I have been writing on the current trends of Telecom industry due to the reason that I have seen that there are lesser writers addressing these issues & these issues really need to be addressed as these are based on today’s real life. We people see different things around us but do not want to talk about these. But, I think that we must discuss these issues.

Most important & most addressed issue on different debates & everywhere is the “Need of Reference”. It is very common perception that without reference we cannot enter into telecom industry & whatever anyone says but we know that it is not very much wrong for our Telecom Industry. Few days before, I was just reading somewhere about perception. It was worth sharing & I want to share it with you:

“Perception is the most important aspect of human behavior. Depending on how we perceive things, we see the glass either as half empty or half full. The more positively we perceive our situation and circumstances the more efficiently we are able to avoid a crisis. People who tend to see the world in an optimistic manner generally make better decisions.” Analyzing this quote, better decisions can be made while thinking in positive manner.

In every aspect of life, we always have many options in front of us but our perception decides whether to go for these or not? Sometimes, we decide it ourselves. Sometimes, we consult our elders, colleagues & seniors; then decision is made either right or left? Things are seen from different views but we see them with our own views. Once, we make some perception, we have that firm belief on that.

Reference issue is also the same issue. Once we think that we do not have any reference then it means that I cannot have it; this is totally wrong. References are not from heaven but these are created, can be created & creating a reference is not a big deal. It is too easy to have a meal but just with a trick. We can create these with Networking. I have seen some people so lucky that have so much contacts in industry that this is not a big issue for them but most of us lack of this quality. Just to be in-contact with others (our peers as well as seniors) can resolve this issue. But we think that it is useless but this is also a wrong perception. Networking can give us benefits not only in short term plans but also for long term plans.

I want to share a real time example with you people that last week, I met a professional with just 3-years experience, came back from international contract last month, had four interviews within short span of 15-20 days here in Pakistan. You can well imagine that to have four interviews in current situation of Pakistan Telecom Industry is really a big deal which cannot be ignored.

To share all this information, the only purpose is that to have in contact with others is only way to create your references as anyone can be useful for us at any time in our life. But to ignore someone is not wisdom. The main purpose of Networking is also creating more and more references. But it has been often observed & same is my case that we do not want to be in contact with others & just want to make our own castles. I think thing perception needs improvements. This can solve many issues. We must be in contact with others as this can be helpful for us not only for a job search but references are made for life time as these can help us anywhere where we cannot even imagine. So, leaving your contacts is not wisdom, keep in contact with everyone even you find someone on internet. Ask people for their introduction but do not bother them to leave you.

May be this can be helpful for all of us. Whenever, I write something, I pray to Almighty ALLAH that maybe this can be useful for only a single one then my purpose for this will be fulfilled. Just pray to ALLAH for all the things & trust on HIM as HE listens each & everyone & delay in anything can be beneficial in long term. Keep sharing & your comments are awaited.
