Getting Employed

By Sandeep Datta (needs to be edited) 

Our academics are our only recognition only when we are into that.Later or sooner we pass out that phase of life too. For a few weeks or months sometimes we are still pointed, cheerfully , for our academic merits . But here those months get passed and we are asked about so many things besides that academic stuff.

 We start realizing that our academic qualification or merits got to be of some monetary worth. 

We start looking for such an employer who would hire us for our papers of distinctions. Soon, we get this message our papers of distinctions. Soon, we get this message that the market of employment expects us to be professionally qualified too. 

We say O.K. to ouselves and once again , go a few more years in professional courses . And, there too, we collect a few more valuable sounding sheets of papers , carrying our name and grades . We feel quite high about , ouselves and why shouldn’t we? After all we have grabbed high grades .

Anyhow, we once  again go to the employment market with high spirits but…..
But there are so many already standing in queue , even carrying heavy folders than us. Even then, keeping our spirits high with stubborn attitude we try. 

We search daily into those paper-ads which rarely reflect any room for our kind of candidates.But still,our each morning begins with a new hope. The ads that arise even little bit of hope are hovered upon by hundreds of our unemployed fellows. After all, we are not the only ones who haunt for an would be employer. Any way , somehow we manage to get shortlisted for interviews. And there, either a well suited-booted man awaits us or somebody pretending to be highly qualified one is relaxes in a chair to decide our future showing hardly any interest in us.
And , the very first question is the immortal and omnipresent one which is about our Experience in that field . Surprisingly , this question is hanging on the interviewee’s lips even when the ad might have asked for Freshers.Believe me, that’s absolutely true.
Even after winning in these battles we have to sign the list of those terryfying rules which are nothing but a written acceptance of submission to our employer from almost every angle of freedom.In other way , these rules our a way of reminding and keeping us realized, everyday, that our employer is not just another man but a little God with full authority on us.
When we read them our heart straightaway holds us back to not sign but on the same time our mind reminds us of the people eagerly and anxiously awaiting for us to get into employment.We feel close enough towards bringing a sigh of relief to those depressed souls who are there ,inside our homes, waiting for just that news.
We feel the opportunity.
At the same time the cruel memories of our so called ‘own people’s sarcastic words and hootings compell us to be fast in signing in without thinking much. …………………..
