The Bindass Indian Job Seeker
Lima Sehgal
This is the era of the bold and (is?) beautiful, and the Indian Jobseeker has gone Bindass!
It seemed only like yesterday when I last went job hunting. Today, I know that all my systems are obsolete. There is a new generation out there job hunting like I never did.
For starters, some of us may recall that there was a time when jobseekers said “ Confidentiality is my birthright.”
Now flaunting seems to be our birthright.
The mass approach that the advent of the internet has made possible has inspired the jobseeker to throw caution to the winds. With all our networking possibilities expanded infinitely, going hunting has been replaced by getting found.
Now the issue to be faced is not really being seriously addressed by Jobseekers which is – Being found by whom?
While we email and upload with cheerful nonchalance, it may be worthwhile to examine the fact that what we believe is confidential may not be so. The internet is a public place. Mass reach and mass circulation have advantages but exposure can come with its own karma of disadvantages.
And karma as all of us know for sure cannot be deleted by the undo button on your computer!
