I was in India!

Jim Stroud at the Taj Mahal

Last week, I experienced one of the best assignments - EVER! Microsoft flew me to Hyderabad, India to train their recruiters on how to source passive candidates in India and around the world. To say that I had a blast would be an understatement. India is now more than a piece of geography to me, it is now a permanent fixture in my heart.

India is…

  • Friendly people; actually, lots and lots and lots of friendly people.
  • A rich diversity of culture and thought.
  • Kinetic and expansive
  • Mystery, history and the nouveau - side by side
  • And the Taj Mahal, oh, it was SO beautiful!

I took a lot of video and photos while I was over there and will be sharing my experiences all week. I hope you enjoy all I share as I certainly will enjoy presenting it to you.

Thanks again Microsoft!
