Read the following scenario and answer the THREE questions that follow.
Raman had been working tirelessly as a Project Manager in the IT department of Flying Groceries, a renowned app-based supply chain company, for the past three years. Having graduated from a top-tier engineering college, he dived straight into the corporate world, managing projects with great zeal that inspired his seniors.
At the end of his first year with Flying Groceries, impressed with his hard work, Raman’s boss, Suraj, the founder-CEO of Flying Groceries, fast-tracked his promotion and made him Delivery Manager responsible for multiple projects of a vertical. Suraj also promised Raman the position of Chief Operation Officer in the fifth year of his tenure.
In search of a greater career trajectory, Raman pursued entrance exams for business schools. His efforts bore fruits as he secured a place in the country’s best business school, known for a strong alumni base, stellar placement records and demanding academic requirements.
Raman was delighted; he had three months to join the business school. Flying Groceries demanded that any employee who wished to leave the organization should give at least a month’s notice. Raman decided to continue working and enriching his work experience, which will be beneficial when applying to companies after graduating from the business school. Therefore, he decided not to share the news of the offer with anyone else for the time being.
Raman received a verification letter from Flying Groceries outlining his basic job responsibilities during his tenure there. However, Raman required a document to substantiate the additional responsibilities he undertook at Flying Groceries by going beyond his call of duty. Sadly, he did not have any documentation of such additional responsibilities.
Which of the following options will BEST help substantiate the additional responsibilities Raman undertook?
Let's evaluate each option individually.
Option A: This is not a valid option. Not only would documentation made from Raman's memory lack accuracy, but it also wouldn't be verified by the employer or the previous organization. This would render the documentation useless for his internship placement or any other purpose he might need them for.
Option B: This would be a valid option. Raman's ex-teammates could provide more accurate data regarding his additional contributions. Documentation of additional roles undertaken coming from employees within the organization would be more official and credible than if Raman were the sole source, as presented in option A.
Option C: Taking an organization's internal matters to social media is rarely a valid option. Such matters should be handled professionally and not made public. Additionally, highlighting his additional responsibilities on social media provides no way of verifying the validity of the information presented there.
Option D: Given the context of the disagreement they had when Raman left his job at Flying Groceries, which left a sour taste between them, there is no guarantee that Suraj would agree to provide Raman with additional documentation needed for him to secure a desired role.
Option E: Since the Chief Supply Chain officer is recently recruited, he might not be familiar with the additional responsibilities Raman took on. Thus, he wouldn't be a reliable source for Raman to obtain documentation listing his additional responsibilities during his time at Flying Groceries.
Hence, Option B would be the best way for Raman to back the additional roles he took during his time at Flying Groceries.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
