Would like to share memorable events/incidents in my career span
It so happens that though I have changed eight jobs before joining Reliance in 1987, none of my change or even first job were against advertisement or job application then formal interview etc.
Every time some one or other come across and refer my name to employers and I am called to join.
If I think of my first job joining at MALCO Mettur Dam,46 years ago, still I feel funny.
During those days there was no campus interview; the companies contact the institute and ask the students to attend interview in their factories.So in Oct.'69, 6 of our classmates were called by M/S Chemplast at Mettur. During the interview in the morning, the interviewing officer who happened to be our college senior said that the neighbouring company M/S MALCO is also looking for an Instrument engineer.Some of us went there in the afternoon to call on Malco senior manager, Mr KS
Jayaraman. I got selected in both the companies- M/S Chemplast with Rs350PM + accomodation but under 5 year bond to be executed,M/S Malco with only Rs 300PM+accommodation but NO bond. Typical of Ramanathan's character of not ready to serve any bond,I opted for Malco and joined as Asst.Maintenance engineer.
There I enjoyed my job and well respected by my team. Here one memorable incident which I cannot forget in life. On one evening about 8.30PM, call out came to me since my two foremanM/S Nallathambhi and Menon were not available in township. That was non functioning of Temperature Indicating Controller in Red Alumina Autoclave,which decide the cycle change over sequence.
As I was new and not having practical touch in handling challenging situations, I tried my best with available hand tools; during that attempts,by mistake I unscrewed a coupling and mercury came into hands. Instead of solving the emergency I landed into mess. By that time Mr Nallathambhi and one technician Mr.Kathirvelu joined me.They rescued me from the situation by bringing spare instrument from the shop and changed, Later it was found that there was fundamental design error in the failed instrument and it was sent back to manufacturer at Calcutta. To be Contd.
Key Aspects:- Attitude, Lack of exposure& experience
