I've finished my undergraduate degree and I'm searching for a job. I'm trying my level best to contact a few people and do something. But when I go to my college again, people start asking the same question again and again. "What are you doing?" ,"Are you without a job?" "Oh, how sad does that sound!!" "A fresher without a job." Is that a big mistake or what? It's irritating. Frustrating when people ask that. People have set in their mind that campus interviews are the only hopes for freshers. People don't understand that there is a big future. A future that is going to transform a fresher into a professional. It is the transition stage and it takes a bit of time.
I'm without a job, so what? It doesn't mean that I'm wasting my time. I'm not really. The one going to a job will not even do the amount of work that I'm doing. I read books, I write about stuff, I blog, I play, I hang out with friends(a time and thing that you won't get when you step into the future), I go through my basics, I try to develop some personal skills, I spend time with my family(something that you may not get in the future), I simultaneously search for jobs, I watch TV. I think I'm doing a lot more than what a person with a job will do. (I do my job without getting salary and they do something less than me with a salary slip in hand.)There is no big difference. All that is needed is a walk towards personal improvement. I may not get this precious time that I've without a job.
I recently went to an interview in Bangalore and I thought that I'm the only one without a job. But for just 50 vacancies there were roughly 3500 people gathered outside the company. All trying to barge in. It needed a police force to settle the chaos and move forward with the interview. Finally, the HR team of the company arranged and led the interview process in a professional manner. At that moment, when people were barging in I realized that India had enough engineers but what it really needed was the quality in them. They had a very bad attitude which made me feel that there is no difference between them and the rest of the people outside. There was no professionalism. I didn't get selected because I leaked some of my plans about my higher studies(which was stupidity personified.) But still it was a good experience and it showed what was wrong in me and what I should improve upon.
But it is also a difficult process. The process of transformation. It needs a lot of training for the mind and the brain. We can't expect it overnight. It takes some encouragement which makes it feel better. It propels you forward to achieve something impossible.
I got one thing clear. There is no one, who is like "not suitable for training." Anybody can develop anything. It is just a matter of days. And for an undergraduate student, having graduated, is capable of doing anything. It is this one quality that everybody possesses. What differs is the attitude that each one has. It requires some basic qualities.
I would say the state of the so-called engineers graduating from colleges is like that of a person coming out of an AC room. It is cool and feels good, when he is inside, (I mean in college,) but when he is out, it is seriously hot.( like the situation that we've got here.) Everybody will have a bad time. It doesn't mean that there is no potential left. "There is tremendous potential that is not getting exposed" is the right way to put it.
Steve Jobs, The Co founder of Apple, was not having a job for nearly two years after getting fired from Apple, but that was the time when he got a wife and all his attention was on starting a new company. He succeeded and started NeXT and PiXAR, which was finally bought by Apple and he again got a job to develop many products in Apple itself. The wait was all for the good. It is always a great feeling to start from the beginning. Think and rethink about what went wrong and what should have been done to get it right.
Having got so many marks(decent marks) and not having a job is like telling "You're good and that is why you're not good." I read the following article in newspaper and thought that it really takes years to practice engineering.
We undergrads have just now entered the field. It takes time for us to settle down. And what I want is a little more time. We are competing with the field and not with ourselves. So if we have sometime we can figure out where we stand and come to the level where the world expects us to be.
I feel that it is the best time to make something happen. Develop creativity that you normally don't get to do in a company. This time is awesome. Helps a big deal to plan for what is going to come next. Try to know something new. Make yourself comfortable with the schedule, because all the twenty four hours belong to you and you can decide what to do and what not to do in these hours. I would suggest that it is better to think how to utilize it and not to worry about why we have not got a job so far. This is how freshers without jobs prefer to be. We live life to the fullest.
