How many times have you wondered if you are in the right kind of job? Well, you must have gone to lot many job sites like me for finding the job that suits your interest and talent. Some of us might have succeeded, but what about the rest of us???
Here I take the privilege of sharing with you my personal experience of going through some of the happening job sites. Before I do so I would like to ask you some questions. Have you ever gone through 'Monster.com' or say 'Jobstreet.com'? These are the famous job sites earning in millions of dollars every month ! What do you think about these sites???
Well, as for me... I found the experience as similar to that of walking down a labyrinth. To find out the right option and right company...I felt it's gonna' take a lifetime to get hold of it. I mean I found the pages extremely cluttered and unorganized. I couldn't find the right category I wanted to apply for. Besides this there is the never ending problem of getting to know if your CV is really considered by people who understand the worth of it. As I went through the job descriptions, I nearly laughed out to myself...they all say the same thing all over again ! ..."we need the best people, ready to work for long shifts, with 60% marks in the required subjects"...and so on...Gimme' a break !!! "I know these things..give me more...", I felt like screaming to the ears of the advertisers. Can't you come up with something understandable? I mean maybe a better description of what exactly are you looking for???
And then there I saw the useless colorful advertisements laughing at my face to add to my existing confusion....Ok I understand that the sites are earning money...but an advertisement in the center of a job description??? This is too much... As it is the page seems confusing and then the ads at its ridiculous best are there to divert one's attention all the time.
Whew !!! ... And after all these when at last I posted my resume, then what??? There is no guarantee I would ever receive a call. I have heard people complaining that even after applying for 100 jobs online, they hardly got one call ! So, what was all this hard work for???
Hmmm....there has to be some way outta' it... maybe a site that would take the CVs directly to the HRs of the companies. A focussed job portal which would come to assistance of the people like me rather than making all efforts go down the drain !
Am I daydreaming...? Maybe, but as the song says..."I'm not the only one !"
