First of all, i would like to thank you for respecting my word and being here. Well thanks anyway even though u dun respect my word;)...and i would like to have ur opinions abt it too...I would like dedicate this blog to my very good friend vasanth who is working in verizon right now.
Perception differs, of course, and thats how humans are. Ever since we finished our degree, there has been a mad rush to get in to the most coveted jobs. Ofcourse due to the herd mentality, we started to look out for the software jobs...including me. But if you had remembered, we had a very bad time in our college during the start of our final year regarding campus placements. We have seen our friends from other colleges getting into the best industries, and we have not. The only reason was being at the wrong place(thats our college) at the right time. How many times have we met the principal, dean and all other useless fellows who have never gave a damn to our feelings. So we were really pushed to the wall to find ANY job...some how.
First placement was polaris, and you all know what happend in that. After that there was only bpo's...and a few even took them...including me...since i have mentioned his name before...vasanth too. He got into sutherland and i got into Netvision. Even cd got into some off-beat job...laser words. It was a mere desperation on our side, coz we were not able to take that we are left out of this job hunt. I wanted something to scrap out of this college. And after that came the revolutionary anna university placements. Hoards of our class members began to get placed at the best...and i dare say...i belive the elite of our class have got what they have deserved.
The biggest mistake i ever did in my opinion was choosing this college, second was choosing net vision. And because of that, i had to sit out of all the remaining placements. But, seeing all that now...i dun regret it coz He has thought of a different plan and has helped me out, the Exalted and Wise. But nevertheless the point is, why we shoudl go for a bpo when they dun deserve to have us. I tell u, any tom dick and hairy can get into a bpo, all they need is a tenth certificate. For God's sake we are engineers, we are ECE, the most coveted branch in India at this very moment. And we head for call centres. Yes i know it is not easy for u. I know how it felt just to sit idle and see others going to jobs and training. But i would always say to myself that i dun deserve this and i dun wanna end up here. So i strictly refused my call center offer. Hats off to vasanth, he has taken a very bold move at the earliest and now he deserves to be where he is now.
But i tell you people, if money is the most important thing at this point of ur life ok..yeah u can. But if you have a little time with u and if ur parents are willing to go that extra for u...and if u have the desire, i think why u shud go opt for a call centre than tryin for the jobs that suit to our taste. Just for record, TCS selected 1112 in this off campus program. Thats ut of 3016 of the shortlisted. Look at the ratio! CTS off campus at ANNA UNIV - they shortlisted 350...infact they shortlisted 800, but ANNA UNIV people didnt allow them to take that many students. Their reason, "if you take all the students, what will happen to the companies coming after you." This can be verified with manimekalai ma'am who is in ANNA univ right now. Muthu gave this info to me. See people, this i how the demand is, and i belive we are the most luckiest batch. Coz the experts belive that next year the recruitment may not be this crazy. Its not a problem if u work for part time at call centre. But bonds like 15 months, depositing some money...and all that...only deprives us from the opporunity we are bound to get. So people, please think and decide...and feel free to post ur comments.
p.s: once again, this blog is intented only to those who are interested. Those who dun give a damn why do u bother!!!!!
p.s 1: Never ever make that mistake again nirmala. Dun ever give ur work to others. This is the best opportunity u have missed i ud say. But need not worry too much for that, just dun repeat it the next time...
