If you have experience in any job for ten years, no matter how stupid you are, you will get a good job in that field. You need to have a degree, even if it is a fake. You can fake it until you make it. Also if you have a degree in different field or experience in different arena, no matter how good you are, you won’t even get an opportunity to prove yourself.
In the present scenario, Experience is counted and quality is overlooked. In order to establish yourself you stepped in the market with any job that suited you on that time, which you don’t think is your cup of tea now, and later on you realized that this is not the meadow you wanted to enter, then there is no way to get out of your current job profile.
Nowadays the HR policy is so brainless, especially in India that, at the time of interview they ask questions like: Why have you left your previous job? Why do you want to go to this specific field? Why have you chosen this xyz company to make your career with?
Despite the recruiter already know the answer of the first question that you have left your company because you want more salary to be offered, he won’t like the truth. You will have to lie to them to make it an acceptable answer. They know the answer of the second question as well that, you are not happy with the previous field. You want to switch because of many reasons; they won’t accept the fact until you distort them.
The recruiters even know the answer of the last question as well that you did not choose this company to be employed with on purpose; they advertised for a job and you wanted a job, you are just giving yourself a chance to be hired. You are only looking for an opportunity; you again have to tell a lie, like you want to make your career with this company because this company has this or that quality and achievements. Both of you, recruiter and you know the fact that this is not the honest answer, you only fake it.
If you are not smart enough to present these lies in the wrapper of truth, then your job application will be rejected. In case you spoke truth they will give you very polite reply like “It was nice meeting with you. Your application is under consideration, we will give you a call for second round of interview within two or three days. The recruiter will give you so good smile that you won’t realize until you reach home that you are rejected.
If you are smart enough in telling lies you can fake your experience like this. If you have experience of 4 months you can write in your resume that you have experience of 4 years. You are only twelve grade pass, you can mention pursuing bachelor, and you will be hired. In other hand the person who mentioned his real three and half years of experience and passed the twelve grades, will be rejected.
The recruiters are trained that way. This is really heights of stupidity.
I wonder why they do not look at their requirements and the candidate’s personality and quality whether they match or not. It is so simple.
I asked one of my friends who work in a reputed BPO that why don’t you switch job if this night shift does not suits you? He told me that he cannot, because he does not have any experience in any other field. He introduced me with a man who was very thin and younger than him; he told me that he is his manager. I thought he must be more educated than him. After little talk I got to know that his manager is less educated than him. My friend informed me that he is his manager; only because of he has passed more time in that industry than him.
India! Where are you in this real world?
Or I should correct my question.
World! Where are you in our real India?
