WATCH THE WAY YOU APPROACH

You are judged from your approach

Yet another experience I had today.  Had been planning to write about this for a long time.  Once again today, I got very much disturbed with an incident.  A fellow MT approached me for some home based work.  Following is the way the chat proceeded.  It is an ideal conversation to note things you should avoid.

Suddenly, without notice or introduction got an IM:
xxxx: HI
xxxx: Good afternoon
I said: hi
xxxx: One of my friends gave me ur idregarding medical transcription
xxxx: Sir do u outsource work
I said: yes, we do

*** approach without introducing who (he/she) was ***
xxxx: at what time the files are given
I said: mail me your details to X_X_X_X_X or fill up the details at http://outsourcedmtservices.com/career.php and I shall get back to you in my free time (clear but polite enough for a person to know that I was busy)
xxxx: Sir i will forwrd my CV to u
I said: yes pls (that was quite a polite answer from my side and I hope you will agree)
I said: who gave you this ID?
xxxx: Sir i was working in XXXXXXX
xxxx: and one my colllegues gave me
xxxx: and i am in search of work now
I said: colleague?  Who?
xxxx: xxxx
I said: k
then what followed was:
xxxx: can i send through messenger my CV
I said: no, enter the room through a proper door not through windows
xxxx: ok no problem
xxxx: thanx a lot
xxxx: http://outsourcedmtservices.com/career.php  on this right?
I said: sorry about it, but I don't like people jumping in through windows
xxxx: no problem sir
xxxx: a mistake is a mistake
I said: sure is
Please note that I am the employer and I am telling the proper way I wanted things to come with a cool head till now.  But what followed was ........
xxxx:  i will email u on this id yahoo messenger id
Session Close
This means right in the first visit I was given the impression that I was dealing with someone who will behave his/her own way and not the way the employer wants
after 8 mins another IM hit me 

Session Start:
xxxx: sorry to disturb u again sir ...i have sent u my CV ..thanks
I said: k
Session Close

After a gap of about 1 hour again one IM hit me (after telling initially i was busy, it certainly was getting difficult now to maintain my mood)
Session Start :
xxxx: Sir can i talk to u for 2 mins
I said: what is it
xxxx: Sir for end to end what is the rates u offer
I said: one question follows the other, and that follows the next
I said: that is why I reply in my free time so that things are explained in one go
xxxx: which time is preferable
It was this time that I decided to talk crudely in a language which I hoped he/she would understand
xxxx: that all i have given u in detail u dint receive my email yet
I said: yes, so you want everything right now
I said: I get the feeling that you have employed me and I am answerable when you wish
xxxx: u r misunderstanding
xxxx: i know u were in Mapro
I said: no
I said: that is a wrong info you have
I said: you expect me to satisfy all your querries at the click of a button as though I have no other work than that
xxxx: I have worked for many people many big companies still working but even the boss of that comany does not reply so rudely anyways...
xxxx: if u dont want me to ask ok
xxxx: thanks for spending so much time
xxxx: 2 minutes
see the nature, I am not supposed to feel offended and I am not supposed to lose my sense even if the applicant keeps nagging me even after telling him nicely.  But when I speak bluntly then I become rude.
So fellow colleagues think about it.  Please give a thought and keep your approach so that the other person should like you and not hate you.
It is very rightly said IF YOU GIVE REPECT THEN YOU ARE BOUND TO GET RESPECT.
To be frank, it was almost like a terrorist attack.  Some terrorist just breaks into my privacy (room) without knocking, without introducing himself and then he is the boss of my room not me, and I am supposed to do as he wants me to and that I do not have any choice.
