I didn't get a job. And while it's obviously sad news, I am feeling extremely grateful to Dermott Bradley and Booking.com for their top-notch hiring process. Let me explain. Throughout the last 4 months, I've applied to 200+ positions, and, boy, I've seen it all - automatic rejections, ghosting, applications going into a void, you name it. The hiring process with Booking gave off a drastically different image. I made it to the final 4th step, and in each step, I've been given a set of clear and transparent expectations about what's going to happen at this step. I had highly knowledgeable conversations with team members who asked me interesting and tough (in a good way) questions. I was given detailed feedback after every round. After passing to the finals, I felt the company and hiring people were interested for me to succeed. I felt taken care of (an unprecedented luxury on a job search journey). Yes, in the end, I didn't get it. Another person got the job. I got outcompeted fair and square. But what I got is an example of a great hiring process and a faith that even in the tough market you can hire people decently. Great job, Booking.com. Who knows, maybe we'll see each other again in the future.

The travel industry is booming — thankfully recovered since the COVID shutdown in 2020. But with so many ongoing layoffs in so many sectors from tech to media and beyond, what do travel and hospitality industry executives think the repercussions will be for travel, tours, and hotels? While I don't think it will be an immediate impact, I have to think it will be affecting our industry 12 months + down the road. Your thoughts? #layoffs #economicoutlook #travelindustry #hotelsandresorts #travelandtourism

“You gotta build a team that is so talented that they almost make you slightly uncomfortable” — Airbnb CEO, Brian Chesky. Who would have thought group assignments would be an enriching experience? One (in this case, Me!) excitedly looked forward to the brainstorming sessions as there was something new to learn each time. I was surely lucky to find a great set of hardworking, motivated team members (in the pictures below) who made life easy during my second semester! 🌸 I soon realised that the whole process of understanding your self-goals regarding the assignment, finding team members who seek similar skills, attitudes, and outcomes, assigning different parts of the projects based on strengths, and learning from and motivating each other was nothing but the varied HR functions like recruitment, orientation, and L&D that came into play. I instantly noticed how great collaboration between team members yielded great results. This proves that the human resources of a team/project/organisation end up having an overall impact on the outcomes to be achieved. If this is your 1st semester or you just completed your 1st semester, assignments can be a daunting process, but it surely gets better from the next. If it's your first time writing assignments or you want to seek any support, feel free to contact me. #HR #teamwork #unimelb #assignments #semester
