In the previous post, we saw the difficulties faced by Dr. TP and Dr. Robert (both Fictional Names) due to their previous college. Please read it before reading this post at:
In 2018, before proposed India vs England test series, Cheteshwar Pujara, an Indian cricketer, decided to play in the England county cricket from the Yorkshire team.
This was apparently to get him some experience in playing on England’s cricket pitches and against English Bowlers so that he will be better prepared for proposed India vs England test series. He had a streak of bad luck and had a poor showing while playing for the Yorkshire county team.
When the team for first India vs England test match was announced, Cheteshwar Pujara was not selected in the team. Some experts then commented that if Pujara had not gone and played in the Yorkshire county cricket team, he may have selected for the team based on his performance in the domestic cricket.
His plan of playing in the English county cricket back-fired and what was to be his strong point became the reason for his non-selection.
A similar thing got played out in front of Dr. Dev (Fictional Name) when he was posted in the rotation posting in the AIIMS, New Delhi’s Neurosurgery department.
Dr. Thomas (Fictional Name) got a temporary job as a non-academic senior resident in the Neurosurgery Department. Probably due to a combination of factors, his work was not up to the expectation of the Professor A.K. Mahatma (Fictional Name) who was the unit head.
When the time came to fill the form for the Pre-Mch admission exam for the various colleges, Prof. (Dr.) A.K. Mahatma strictly forbade Dr. Thomas from filling the AIIMS Neurosurgery pre-Mch exams form.
A surprised Dr. Thomas asked the reason for it.
Dr. Mahatama replied, ‘Your work is not found satisfactory by me. Even if you clear the theory part of the exam, I will not select you in the practical part of the exam. I will rather take my chance with a fresh unknown candidate who may turn out be bad resident, than selecting you who I know definitely to be bad.’
So, Dr. Thomas had a better chance of getting selected to AIIMS Neurosurgery department if had taken the temporary job in some other hospital to get experience in Neurosurgery, rather than to take the job in AIIMS itself.
In a temporary job in your dream institution or company, if you are able to impress your superiors by your work and personality, this may open the path to a permanent position there. But if you are found to lacking due to any reason, then this may backfire and your dreams and wishes may not get fulfilled.
So choose wisely even your temporary jobs or position and avoid a 'Cheteshwar Pujara situation'.
