FOR JOBLESS: WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS.

If you are 27 year old, got your resume re-written by many resume-writing experts, applied unsuccessfully against 48 job vacancies and still jobless after 2 years, you may want to consider adding, right on top of your resume ( in bold letters ):

“ I am a born workaholic. My work ethics motivate me to work for 12 hours per day for 7 days a week – without overtime payment. I can beat any Chinese worker in productivity “

There is a high probability that you get an interview call.

You have nothing to lose but everything to gain !

CREATING JOBS ALL OVER THE WORLD ?

In Nov.2010, President Obama visited India with the declared purpose of signing trade deals worth $ 10 billion.

That enabled him to claim creation of 50,000 jobs for the jobless Americans – and to reclaim some of his lost popularity.

With joblessness threatening governments around the world, other politicians lost no time in picking up the hint.

Virtually lining up to sign their own trade deals were

• Cameron of UK

• Sarkozy of France

• Jiabao of China

• Medvedev of Russia 

In quick succession, they came and signed trade deals ( aka “ selling goods to India “ ) worth $ 100 billions.

In a short period of 6 weeks, India helped create 500,000 jobs around the world !

In the meantime, 42 million young Indians registered with the State Employment Exchanges of India are waiting for the world to “ buy “ a few things from India so that some of them can get job-offers.

They don’t care whether India gets a permanent membership of UN Security Council or not !

JOBSEEKERS MUST BE SPRINTERS?

Abhi, Kartavya 

Mumbai Municipal Corporation (India) wanted to fill up 4000 posts of street sweepers. So, it advertised in local newspapers, saying applicants should have passed 8^th Standard (10^th being school graduation).

That led to a flood of 300,000 applications.

How can anyone go thru 300,000 resumes to shortlist 4,000 candidates ?

No problem.

Additional “Eligibility Criteria “ required that candidates must be

·      165 cm tall

·      capable of running 4 Km in 15 Min ( 16 Km / hour )

Now, if a candidate can sweep 128 Km of roads in an 8 hour shift ( @ 16 Km / hour ), then the Municipal Corporation should need only 32 sweepers to sweep 4000 Km of Mumbai roads !

Why invest in sweeping machines if you can employ 4000?

JOB SEARCH INNOVATION ?

Tristam Rossin of London posted a “ sell “ ad on eBay. He offered to sell his graphic design skills for 40 hours / week for one year.

He even got the highest bid for Pound 3100.

But then eBay removed his listing, saying “ it is a breach of our policies “.

Thank God, there are no laws prohibiting a jobless guy from innovating his job search strategy !

JOB SEARCH STRATEGY ?

For many jobseekers, their foremost job search strategy is to surf the job portals – daily, and often for hours-on-end.

But this is not something every jobseeker can do or even need to do. All over the world, there are millions of jobseekers whose only access to internet is from a cybercafé – and once a week !

Now a day, nearly all job portals send job alert emails on a daily / weekly basis.

Then there are some portals which deliver SMS job alerts on mobile and even enable a jobseeker to “ Apply “ against any alert , directly from mobile – eliminating the need to surf / log-in.

There is hardly a jobseeker who does not have a mobile !

If this trend accelerates, online job searching may not remain the foremost job search strategy.
