What does it feel like, not working at all? I guess it’s the worst kind of torture. Work they say is worship and for most of us it’s a routine that helps us earn our bread and butter. I guess the worst thing in life is to have to look for a job without knowing how to get one.
Irrespective of your subject expertise, it is not easy finding the right job. And in case you are looking for one, it is advisable to seek professional help. Right from resume building, job shortlisting, interview preparation to fixing interview calls, there are consultants available to ease your pressure. They not only help you get a job but also make your approach planned and competetive. But look for the right consultant.
In my case unfortunately there are no consultants available in India who can help us fetch (or the least even direct us to places where media jobs are available) the right jobs. We are left to fend for ourselves. I have been through this phase and know how lucky people from marketing, IT, Medical, NGOs, call center employees, etc, are to have online consultants like Naukri, timesjobs, etc.
Naukri.com is a web portal that helps those looking for jobs. It also provides services like resume building and has offices across the metros. To start with, all one needs to do is upload and save a resume with the site. You have to make clear your area of interest. Naukri team will see your profile and get back to you. Or otherwise you can search for the kind of job that you are keen to pursue. For this you have to narrow down your choices and experience.
After you have furnished the details you will be directed to a list of offers available. Each link will take you to a new window explaining the company profile, job profile etc. In case you are interested you can apply through individual mail ar through the website. Always attach a cover letter as it gives you a chance to explain yourself. Do not however treat the whole thing as a casual affair. The HR person sitting on the other hand is trained to remove applications that are not serious.
Of all the job sites, I guess naukri has the potential for customer care offers while Timesjobs is heavy on offers for sales and marketing.
Hunting for the right job is not easy. And it is also not easy to find the right life partner. I wonder when will naukri.com and bharatmatrimony come together and give all the naukri finders a offer like this – Apply for a naukri and if you get it you get a chokri as well!
I am sure this will take time. Meanwhile, go get your dream job.
