HR tip of the day...
1. When you get a letter giving you a good news, first, be happy not calculative. I know that everyone think that they are entitled and that it's HR's job to get it done, but acting like like the hind of a donkey will not win you any brownie points.
2.If you think that they made a mistake. Give HR a call. Typically in letters sent out, they would state who their contact person is.
3. If you decide to call, how about being polite? This is especially true if you are a small fry and chances of you blasting the "stupid" HR person out of the orbits is less then non.
4. Did I mention be polite? Instead of demanding why the amount is less then you expect, why not ask? How would you like it if the HR demand things from you instead of asking. As someone said to me, "Makes me feel like giving him/her a kick in you know where."
5. If you are n00bies instead of company vets, don't even try the "I want some blood!!" tactics. Be polite. Be firm. This will probably be the person you will with until you quit the job. And reputation carries a lot of weight.
6. Develope some personality. It would be nice if you got out of the "someone's child" (entitlement) mentality and act like adults. If you want to be treated like an adult, act like one.
7. Remember, just because you are employed doesn't mean it ends there. As you progress, you will develop a reputation. When ppl ask about you, no one says, "Oh, he's a great engineer." Chances are they will be more focused on your personality, "Ughhh... he's difficult to work with." BTW there is a high chance of HR ppl in the same industry know each other. That could be a good thing for you or bad.
8. Be polite. I think I have abused this word often enough that it will stick on your mind. Manners + passion = win. Bad manners + arrogance = gets you no where.
I hope this gives ppl out there some clue.
