The Workplace: Submission Guidelines

These are our guidelines for submission:

• Submissions should not be longer than 800-1,200 words and the ones selected for publishing will be edited for clarity.

• Do share your contact details. It will help us authenticate the piece. Plus, we may need to get in touch for clarifications or to run the edited copy past you – we will keep these details confidential.

• Give detailed accounts – nothing resonates more than a personal account even if it is just one person’s story

• Do indicate whether you want your name and identifying details withheld. We will respect your decision

• Subscribe to the news site here (news.careers360.com) and we will keep you posted

Given below are the sort of questions we hope can be addressed in The Workplace

• How is placement season going for you? Is it stressful? Why?

• Are you unhappy with the way campus placements are conducted by your institute?

• What is your experience looking for a job as a fresh graduate?

• Did you study on a loan? What pressures do you face after graduating?

• How are (or were) you treated as an intern?

• Do you face difficulty managing your finances in your first job? What advice do you have for others?

• Is there a culture of bullying or harassing new employees where you work? Have you faced it? How did you handle it?

• Are you different from the mainstream in a way that you feel turns recruiters away? Tell us about your experience

• Are you the only woman in a team of men?

• Tell us about the boss.

• Do you experience discrimination where you have started working?

• Where do you look for support? Can you fall back on your family?

• How is dissent handled at your workplace?

• Is your contribution valued in the workplace?

You could pick one of these or something else altogether. We will take our cue from you as you know your world best.

Warm Regards,

Team Careers360.
