What is the use of your qualifications without the know-how of jobhunting?
Lima Sehgal
We get education degrees on that what is supposed to get us qualified for a job. But there is no degree qualifying us for getting a job that you are qualified for.
In plain terms all this boils down to sitting in a sailboat in the ocean, and hoping for breeze.
The amazing thing about our professional educational systems with its golden promises of jobs, along with the sales pitch of 100 percent campus recruitment, and the accompanying photographs of lovely buildings, is the fact that gullibility that can be so encashable!
By osmosis, we absorb it, believe it and then wonder what makes it not work.
There is plenty of information on how to kill competition, impress interviewers, or win jobs but nothing on the techniques of using placement firms or internet platforms for finding jobs. The extent of ignorance amongst the educated is terrific when it comes to job hunting methodologies. Most of us tend to muddle through, hoping.
Learning it hard way, is not always the answer to success. Neither is the best education a ticket for the best job. Clubbing both concepts together as a working formula is a sure recipe for distress.
