Dear all
The rudeness is clear. Maybe the girl should make a headway for a career in banking (recovery) or maybe politics...............lighter vein.
But much is also due to standard's not being maintained by educational institutes these days. Institutes need to draw the line somewhere before they give admissions to new students. And if they do so they should ensure the final product (the student) is a much well rounded person by the time they walk out with the degree. Of course there can be exceptions....in which case one can't blame the Institute.
I would also like to defend the youth as I have come across several cases of elderly people displaying excessive impoliteness in their communications. Let's be realistic...
teenagers have always been the same -- they are impolite, self-centered and ignorant, their music is nothing but noise, and their art is garbage...... but we as elders have to correct them........Let's do it.

Dear Friends
Recently we had a dicussion in the group about attitude of students passing out of premier colleges. I wish to highlight an email communication between a student and PR executive
The incident:
A Communication student from a well known Chennai college called our Moderator Mr K. Srinivasan over phone ten days back and wanted a PR internship. Mr Srinivasan asked her to send her profile to his e mail id. The student sent her profile as attachment without any request for internship or covering mail.
Though, her mail had only her profile as attachment, Mr Srinivasan forwarded her profile to me and to Sakthi with a request to help her to get an internship. He also endorsed a copy to her with a request to contact both of us over mobile with more details.
Since, she did not contact either of us for a week, Sakthi sent a mail to the student. I reproduce below Sakthi's mail and her response. I have suppressed the name of the student and the college.
Sakthi's mail to the student:
Dear XXXXXXXX,
This is further to the email sent by Mr. Srinivasan regarding your internship. Have you got any internship or still looking out? pls let me know.
Regards,
Sakthi Prasanna.
The response by the student:
"I havent got a conformation yet. I am waiting for it. I have applied in XXXXXXX & XXXXX. I am also interested in PR. If i can join your company I would like to know my work profile or what will be my work contribution and other details. My contact no is 9xxxx xxxxx."
(The student's mail did not even contain customary words like dear so and so or hi or even regards, as it was official and for the first time. The response also lack politness, when she seeks an internship. She does not even request an internship. It looks as though, she is going to honour the Agency by joining there as intern. Further She has provided her contact number probably expecting Sakthi to contact her and explain the job profile.)
Though Mr Srinivasan had asked her to contact us over mobile, she did not contact for a week. Atleast on receipt of Sakthi's mail, she should have contacted him over phone for guidance.
Nowadays, many of the mails received from the young students lack humility and politeness. I am sharing this communication with all, so that young students should learn to write good letters/mails. They should develop good communication skills when they write formally.
Even the educational institutions should devote some classes to teach 'Business communication skills'.
Request members to share their views.
Best regards
Narren
