A bundle of contradictions---someone please explain to recruiters
The kind of things expected of any management job these days is simply astounding and impossible to achieve. Firms ask for a superman for the price of a regular job. Managers should ideally be assertive and yet empathetic; should make tough decisions and yet be able to make compromises when necessary; are process driven and yet entrepreneurial, collaborative and yet individual, patriotic and yet global, and both managerial and leadership oriented. Oh by the way-- you cannot lie in the interview! And, to top it all, after having all of these skills, one should be happy with the job that one has got!
