oct 31st !!! TVM MAD's recruitment drive

In what is shaping up to be "a fast society",not looking back from where you came or what you have lost or left on the way, is practically the reason why life is filled with problems that are pushing it to the point of obsolescence.Whilst new organizations pop up regularly, most seem to fall into the same methodologies that plague the rest of the system.Individually, there are problems that need immediate addressing; put together, it shows something is endemically wrong with the society,people, and why it is verging on redundancy.The engine of any organization are the  organizers – those who are there at the coal-face looking for roles, looking for people to fill the roles, and looking at ways to close the roles.

MAD TVM has such amazing organizers who ,together made the recruitment day stress free , complaint free and motivated the rest of the volunteers to do every task with determination.The organizers did a commendable job in splitting the day among all the volunteers so that each could do their   work satisfactorily.The MAD recruitment drive was well organized and kept a track on
* how many calls they make
* how many candidates would visit
* number of roles on contingent or retained
* the number of names registered  online
* time for group discussion
* time for interview
In itself,it is understood that the recruitment day was meant to be flawless,but what was in store was a mystery.

By around 9 am ,all the volunteers were geared up for the big day .The MAD aspirants started  coming in .The new list for the number of candidates who were supposed to turn up was posted at the reception .Despite the best efforts ,85% of the goal were attained.According to the schedule ,Mr.Jithin C Nedumala ,founder of MAD , was supposed to start of with the orientation program at around 10.So we the volunteers of Trivandrum MAD introduced each and every coordinator and VP's to the crowd. This itself instilled the idea of  MAD being an enormous group .Once they settled down, Jithin began the orientation class . The orientation class was indeed interesting as always and this we could understand from the timely roars of laughter in between . Inspite of us working on every other detail for the day, we knew that the crowd would definitely not regret that 30 minutes they spend at the grounds of Mar Baselios College of Engineering and Technology.The orientation program gave the aspirants intense information on MAD and its activities and along with it incepted the desire to do their bit to this society.

The orientation program was followed by an ice-breaking session where every one got to know each other , to bring in innovative ideas and to work as a team.The group discussion was indeed a new segment in the history of MAD recruitment drive . This was involved to filter and find the right set of people with good energy level,innovation and confidence.Jithin along with two other volunteers moderated the group discussion.By this time , lunch was served .Half a day went by like the blink of an eye.

The afternoon session was indeed entertaining for us volunteers as well.The interview panels had two volunteers each .The candidates were interviewed beginning with personal details which went upto to wacky stuffs were one had to play a real game of ,"ring-a-ring-a-roses" or another had to mock a trip to the zoo with the kids.It was infact, amazing to see everyone in action.After all the candidates were interviewed and rated on their energy level,confidence,commitment and most of all passion , we volunteers got together for a final review on all that happened that day.With great relief and pride, all the MADies retired for the day satistified for what we have done and what we have yet to do.OCT 31st will indeed be one of those days written on the pages of TVM MAD's activities.oct
