JOB

The most wanted thing in a human’s life. Without this the survival of him/her in the planet is difficult. This has a significant importance in a man’s life than that of a woman’s. Because he is the one who leads. There can be a woman without a job, but there can’t be a man without a job.

Every parent has some dreams about their children. To give them the best education one can get, to give them what all they need. They do all these in order for us, the children, to pay back them with our results, a good job etc.

As usual my parents allowed me to take my Engineering graduation on Information Technology. There was no forcing on me to take some other. They left the decision of choosing my future path to me, and I am now thankful to them for letting me to do this. But then I wasn’t that much career oriented, something like an ordinary graduation. But as semesters passed by I came to realize that I have to get thru somewhere, have to get some job.

I got my Engineering seat on payment. I haven’t got free seat then. So I had a guilty feeling that I made my parents to spend so much money for my education. This thought ignited my studies and that reflected in my results. I got 74% in Engineering, but unfortunately I failed in a paper on rd sem. But I cleared it in my next attempt.

As semesters passed by, our turn has come to hunt for the job. So everybody started preparing for campus interviews, tests etc. I also started to go with the flow. Then the first campus placement from our college has happened. One guy got selected to one of the reputed Software Company – Infosys. This has raised the temperature on others including me, reminded us that we too can get a job. All of a sudden the recruitments started pouring in. My batch mates, classmates all started getting placed to various MNCs. But my fortune wasn’t then. I tried my level best to get into any of the companies. But LUCK, the most important factor, wasn’t with me then. So days passed by and we all got passed out, and we were the first batch to be passed out from our college.

Even after passing out, my friends got selected to various companies. But that wasn’t my time. I started blaming God for this misfortune. I tried harder and harder, but that entire attempt was in vain. Either I will be rejected in the technical interview round or in the HR round. I thought of the factor that was lacking in me. But I couldn’t find it. Then frustration started to build up in me. Its outburst was in the form of tears and sleepless nights. The worst part was that, when I attended a test for Satyam Computers, I couldn’t clear the first round itself. All the others from my college got through the first round. I was that much frustrated and started blaming myself. I soon left the test center.

But the bad luck continued, as I attended many interviews, I got rejected for one or the other reason. Since I was a fresher I couldn’t have a lateral entry too, as I have no experience. As I come back home after each test, my parents ask to me about the test result. I can find the eagerness in their eyes. But as soon as I tell my result, I can also see their sadness. They tried to console me, saying that u will get a good job in a good company. But how? As I have attended almost all good companies. I haven’t slept for several nights, I haven’t took food sometimes, I have cried a lot in my room, blaming me, cursing me. The worst part is that I have gone to Bangalore – The hub of the Indian Software industry, for attending the test of Oracle. But unfortunately I couldn’t even attend the test itself. When I came back, I cried a lot. But my parents identified that and told to me that u will get a good job and keep on trying.

As days passed by I got selected to one of the reputed Indian Software Company – L&T Infotech, Mumbai. I can’t forget the day when I knew my result. But my selection was first confirmed by my close friend. He then revealed it to my dad. He was that much happy and excited. When he disclosed the news to me, I literally wept on my dad’s shoulder. He consoled me and told me that what I have told has become true.

And now I have been working for this company for almost a year. They are the one who removed my fresher tag from me, and I will be thankful to them for selecting me.
I know how sad it will be if u are jobless after graduation.
