Self appraisal

                           Self appraisal
It was a busy day in the city. A youth walks into a shop. He requested the shopkeeper that he want to make a phone call. Owner agreed. Youth rang a number. As the call is connected, he introduced himself and said that he wants to work in their house. A lady was answering the call. She said the youth that she already has a man for gardening.
Youth listened to this and said he will do work better than the already hired one. Youth said he will also do cleaning work besides gardening. Youth said whatver they are giving the salary to the existing one, he would charge half of that one if he gets the job.
But lady said she is happy with the work of existing gardener.  But youth went on urging her to consider him for the work. The lady on other side fed up of this. Finally  she cut the call. The youth also smilingly placed back the receiver to its original place.
Shopkeeper was hearing all the conversation. He called the youth near him and said if he is really in need of job, he would like to appoint him as his gardener. But youth softly refused. He said he is already employed. Shopkeeper asked him whether is he happy with the work alloted him?
Then youth replied he works as the gardener for the same lady to whom just he called. He wanted to know whether they are happy with his work . Thats why he played a small drama as a youth seeking job near them. Listening to this, shopkeeper stood with surprise.

  1. Very nice and indeed the mystery I could not make out until end - I thought he was trying to get job with the shopkeeper!
    You know many European companies etc, we all have to submit self-appraisal forms, our strengths+weakness, knowledge, application, etc - most importantly inter-personal relationship management, which is key for success in a large office, esp for managers as well as offiers
