Yes ! of course you may get angry or may you have a different opinion on this,  but let me share the reason why you should not share your cv or resume in social groups. In simple words be genuine and unique., 

There are millions of social media groups around us and thousands of people sharing their CVs or Resume in that group do you believe that all of them will be get hired?  Seriously No!, Maybe by luck someone will get a job. I don't know why and how this culture has been started but anyhow see why we shouldn't do it with an example, 

A guy named Ramu owns a vegetable shop and waiting for customers to buy vegetables but unfortunately, the day was not good for him, No one bought his vegetables on the whole day., Finally, Ramu lost his patience,  frustrated Ramu started throwing the vegetables away from the shop and the trespassers started picking the vegetables and that day Ramu profit is Zero! 

Now read the same example in another way,  A guy named Ramu owns skills  and waiting for companies to hire him but unfortunately, the tim was not good for him, No one provide job to him., Finally, Ramu lost his patience,  frustrated Ramu started sending cv & Resume on social group, Some trespassers offered a job with low salary or a job which not suits for his skills! 

And also most of the HRs won't spent their time in WhatsApp groups instead they will be busy with their emails and Individual chats. 

In other words, if you are seeking for job, like you are asking permission to get inside someone's house (organisation) so you must knock on the door. But sharing CV & Resume in social groups is like they must knock your door which won't work at all times.

The good way to approach for job is contacting them directly which also resembles the genuineness and uniqueness of you, so knock their door directly and get it what you need. !

Experience is Not Equal to Competence!

Yes! Of Course, you may amazed because of the statement but why? -  let me share my thoughts here! 

When I got my first job in a wind turbine generator erection company as a health and safety officer obviously as a fresher I am not competent enough with crane operations and safety., so I asked a senior officer to help me for making a crane lifting plan and permit who has years of experience in crane operations but instead of teaching me, he said me to copy the old one, Which is ridiculous because, for every lifting operations, the position, the load, the location even maybe the crane will be changed then how can we copy the old one?.

I am not saying that experience is nothing or experienced persons are incompetent!  there or many experienced competent professionals around the world. An experienced person must be competent enough to teach others as well, else those experiences are useless! Let me make you understand with an example, Standing inside a river without knowing swimming and taking bath for more than 10 years is also an experience but Knowing swimming is called competence. In sea ( Critical situation ) the competent person can survive but the other one can't! Now I hope you understand why experience is not equal to competence, 

 So I decided to learn those things on my own and I did it as well obviously, those crane lifting calculations are very interesting ones even I have more to learn in them. But this incident motivated me to learn more things on my own instead of seeking help or making shortcuts like copying the old one. If you want to be competent in professional life don't stop learning. Learning is a continual process until we die we are meant to learn something.
