Humility, is the virtue needed to grow & succeed!

by admin

A fresh MBA from a premier business school was being interviewed for his first job. He was facing a panel of top executives of the company. Sometimes, being an MBA from a premier institute makes the candidate forget that the panel he is facing is much more experienced and rich in knowledge and this attitude of ‘I am all knowing’ of the candidate doesn’t help.

This attitude reflects arrogance more than confidence and it deters the prospective employer to have a positive opinion of the candidate. This candidate did the same mistake of trying to showcase much more than what he had. The panel was smart enough see through his mediocrity and rejected him.

At the end of the interview, the leader in the panel group told him : “First take a trip across the globe for 2 years, see the world, gain some experience and then come up to us for this interview again, you would be more humble in your approach and would have a better perspective of life.”
