Beware of Fake.......

A few job slots available and an outburst of too many job seekers is a common situation that applicants and employers encounter during hiring sessions through out the world especially in third world countries around the globe.

A great feat it is if one of the tens or hundreds of applicants would be able to pass through the rigid written tests and interviews. A congratulation to that person indeed. And it should be if such person is 'legitimate'.

Too many nowadays where documents can easily be copied and tampered. Fake diplomas, job experience and skill trainings or competency certificates abound and readily available for just a mere amount. Many people who 'cheat' like this are ironically the ones that get the 'job' for they have awesome experiences and superb education.

This is the sad reality that workers face especially the one that take real schooling and they even started from the lowest position available in a certain industry. They meet the newly hired 'empty' superiors with great compensation and be laughed at.

It is a pain for those who strived hard to get something in the end but with dreams shattered because of the 'fake' reality.

Standards Certification... The Need... The Lies...

Almost everyone make a lie or two in their lifetime. Even at certain times that you aren't conscious of it, and before you even know it, you are already lying to to someone. But I have recently seen the ultimate liars (aside from our government) right before my very eyes.

I am part of that agenda actually though not directly. If you are wondering what the heck I am talking about here, continue to read through this article. Have you heard of TPM or ISO even? The so-called Standards Certification thing?

When the company management starts to say something like:

"Hey, we will be applying for this international standards thing. We need your help. When someone from external auditing team for this ISO or TPM or JIPM team would ask you something blah blah blah, you should say blah blah blah. Don't ever say that we are blah this and blah that. Help the company, it will be for everyone here."

You are part of the lying thing. When the company does not really follow the Company Corporate Policy and it is just a mere sort of poster there in your office wall, then all of you are lying. It is the cheat and lying fever.

Fixed the major non-conformance temporarily while this auditors would do their thing next day or week or month. Be prepared to lie, I mean be prepared to answer what you have studied for that event. Even if just for that day. You are greatly needed.

You need to lie to be one of the Heroes. hehehehe.

Risk taking in the field... Is it worth it?

I have known some risk-takers in the field of industrial technology. It usually happens during troubleshooting or system modification and I admit that in some in instances, i have been one of those risk-takers. But i tell, i usually do that when i have no experience in a particular area of the industry but got a backing up theory learned somewhere while reading technicals and adding all industrial concepts related to that situation. Gladly to tell anyone reading this article that i have been quite successful most of the time. It is some sort of a first and final thing to do in a real life situation where less time spent and analysis applied equals money saved by the company and your increase in ranking in terms of the view from others as what you are capable of.

There are sureballers that i knew of that wouldn't contribute even just a little action towards a certain industrial activity because they have no specific experience or training on that certain equipment or system. They need to be sure on what they are doing and are afraid to make and accept mistakes if ever that would happen. In short, they lacked confidence and refuse to let their minds do their work, and sad to say that I know some people who are like that personally. They cannot share anything out of the box. They need to have stored knowledge of a certain thing to be able to take part confidently.

In the field of industrial instrumentation, where I currently venturing into, the fact that most if not all are just following the basic principles of sensorics and signal manipulation and its just the brands, models, and data syntaxing and commands are what that is different. If you know basic industrial instrumentation principles, then there is no need to be afraid of what is new.You got me?
