The Job Market

Why do they call it a job market when there isn't actually one?

There's a hundred 'HR agencies' as they call themselves in India who are filled with mind f***ed employees who's job is to call freshers day and night and offer them call centre jobs.

I wonder if they ever realized that if they were to do the same thing themselves at a real call centre, they'd make a better living. But no, they don't want to be working in a call centre. They are 'HR executives' .

That brings me back to the point. The hub of technology as they call it, Bangalore. Also plays host to one of the biggest industrial estates in Asia; but there are no decent job openings for mechanical engineers; except for marketing jobs in the same field. There's another pointer to you'HR executives'. Marketing jobs are not core mechanical jobs. Just because the target company is named XYZ tools, it doesn't make a tool sales job anything more than a marketing job. If things don't go all that well, I may find myself in one of these tool sales jobs in the end, so, no offense to cutting tool companies, but this situation is frustrating.

Hoping to find a solution soon. I believe this is what every new mechanical engineer, or at least the vast majority are facing. I will keep you folks posted about the same through the same blog should I find a solution.

For now, it's a frustrated Rakesh signing off........
