Five ways to resign from your job on a positive note

There’s an art to quitting a job, and if you’re smart, you’ll do it right. JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater’s dramatic exit out of an emergency chute — and a job — may be the stuff your fantasies are made of. But when it comes to the crunch, it’s never a good idea to burn your bridges while resigning. It may well come back to haunt you later.

India to see strong hiring trend in next 3 months: Manpower

Employers in India are planning to hire at a robust pace in the next three months and public administration, education and services sectors are expected to see strong recruitment trends, says a survey.

Globally, India is the most optimistic in terms of recruitment intentions for the fourth quarter, after China and Taiwan, according to staffing services firm Manpower's Employment Outlook Survey released today.

The job market remains robust in India as a result of strong domestic growth and recovery from key global markets. But employers in other countries are reporting strong hiring forecasts, as well," Manpower India's Managing Director Sanjay Pandit told media.

India's net employment outlook -- an indicator of employers' hiring intentions -- stood at 38 per cent on a seasonally-adjusted basis, for the next three months. For the third quarter, the outlook stood a little higher at 41 per cent.

The outlook fell slightly for the next three months as recruitment activities are relatively less in this period, mainly on account of festival season, Pandit noted.

For the fourth quarter, China has the highest outlook of 47 per cent and is followed by Taiwan (40 per cent). Interestingly, for the 2010 third quarter, India was the most optimistic when it came to hiring intentions.

Of the total of 36 countries surveyed by Manpower, 28 showed positive hiring trends for the next three months. As many as 5,395 employers in India participated in the survey.

In terms of sectors in India, public administration & education has the highest net employment outlook of 45 per cent, followed by services (40 per cent) and finance, insurance and real estate (34 per cent).

As per the report, transportation and utilities, and wholesale and retail trade sectors, each have an outlook of 22 per cent.

"Once you combine strong domestic hiring along with improved International opportunities, we see one of the best scenarios that Indian job seekers could have imagined," he said.

With an employment outlook of 41 per cent, employers in the South have strong hiring plans for the fourth quarter of this year. Northern region has an outlook of 37 per cent, followed by East (36 per cent) and West (32 per cent).

Going by the survey, the weakest hiring plans for the upcoming quarter were reported from Greece, Italy, the Czech Republic, Spain and Ireland.

HOW IS NORMA?

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital. She timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"

The operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number of the patient?"

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said,

"Norma Findlay, Room 302."

The operator replied, “Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse's station for that room."

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, "I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow."

The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the good news."

The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"

The grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me anything."

First I laughed.
Then I re-read it.

It struck me as fatal and true.
