| Finding a new job is really difficult. I do have faced | | | | Reason 3: |
| the same problem and has been on both ends during | | | | Perfect Match - Most of the time I have come |
| my career. | | | | across people who would prefer to join companies |
| This made me think whether there is shortage of | | | | close their home, or can provide conveyance, and are |
| manpower or lack of opportunities? I see both the | | | | working on a technology that they would like to |
| conditions as false. | | | | work on, and can offer package of their choice, and |
| We do have lot of manpower and long list of | | | | should be a multinational. |
| openings available but still most of them are not | | | | Now tell me if you have so many "Or and And" what |
| fulfilled. Employees keep struggling for a job and | | | | would be the changes of you getting a job. |
| employers does not get people to meet their | | | | With this mindset you yourself have restricted the |
| commitments. | | | | opportunities for you. I know lot of guys sitting ideal |
| My curiosity threw up several reasons - | | | | but not ready to open up their mind and understand |
| * Lack of education on both ends. | | | | the demand of the time. |
| * Not ready to accept anything below perfect match. | | | | Secondly, There is nothing call "I want to build my |
| Let me elaborate it further - | | | | career in technology". No technology is immortal and |
| Reason 1: | | | | frankly speaking in this recession we have seen lot of |
| With the boom in the economy freshers and | | | | good brand shutting down their gates, MNCs firing |
| experienced Employees have set high hopes from | | | | people like anything. |
| their prospective employers in terms of salary, | | | | My call is keep yourself flexible and adaptable. Being |
| facilities & perks, International exposure. Let me | | | | from the IT background I always say to my |
| tell you that not everybody gets all these things and | | | | employees that they should become IT Professionals |
| in desire to join multinational company they loose | | | | and not any technology specific professionals. Be |
| their precious time. | | | | quick in accepting technology switch offer. If a |
| My idea would be to join any company with good | | | | company is offering you a switch then they have |
| prospects and start your career. You would definitely | | | | definitely set a gestation period for you to learn. |
| get more opportunities once you are an experienced | | | | Reason 4: |
| guy. | | | | Company needs to understand that their survival is |
| Reason 2: | | | | only if they keep contributing for the development of |
| People have caliber and fire but they lack knowledge | | | | the industry. I would like to raise questions in respect |
| to market themselves. Most of job seekers end up | | | | to IT industry. |
| posting their resumes on some most popular sites | | | | Except for a few how many of us appoints freshers. |
| and keep waiting for the opportunity to knock their | | | | Recently I fresher walked in into my company |
| door. This does not work. | | | | looking for an opportunity. He said to me "If you will |
| Just think from the point of view of the employers. | | | | not going to give us opportunity how will we get |
| They are under immense pressure to cut cost in | | | | experience". Now this was a well heard of statement |
| such a recessionary market. So what will they do? I | | | | but has lot of meaning to it. |
| being an employer with very limited budget to meet | | | | I would prefer appointing some portion of my work |
| monthly expenses would prefer "Free Resources". So | | | | force as fresher. The advantages I see are that they |
| are there any such Free Resources available? Yes. | | | | are energetic; they have a high level of adaptability, |
| There are and plenty of them. | | | | and costs less to the company. |
| I posted my requirements on Job Sites who offer | | | | Reason 5: |
| free job posting, free resume search, and free | | | | Lack of information - As I mentioned earlier I would |
| registration. To name some of them - | | | | recommend accessing "Free Resources" for fulfilling |
| So give it a try and you will come across bundle of | | | | your requirements. |
