I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Exam passed!
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
OK! I passed an mandated exam yesterday by some sheer dumb luck. Irrespective of my preparation or whatever I was going to study, it is not something which can be passed easily. The reason is that the questions are framed in such a way that the answers are very vague and it is not based out of common sense. To explain it better, here is an example.
Question: If you have a resource in your team who has issues with attitude and shows crappy behavior at times, what would you do?
a) Take this issue in next team meeting and drop in subtle hint. b) Escalate to senior manager. c) Speak with that resource offline and try to find out the issue that is being faced. Also ensure that suitable actions are taken. d) Allocate critical task. Of course the correct answer for this question is option c. But that is what we call an ideal scenario and a manager with lot of time, resources and tons of patience. Which everyone lacks! So actual answer will be: "Kick the person out of the team". Really, the whole paper was filled questions of these sort. My older colleage was saying - " If you get good marks, then you are mostly lying." Unfortunatly, this was not a honesty checking test.
