You are laid off!

Yesterday I was going thru a local newspaper and realized the many job advertised.I wondered how many people will apply for them.Afetr knowing about the newspaper circulation I realized that at least 20000 candidates would apply for each job advertised.Some of them would be already employed workers who would be applying just like that for fun. 20% would be the candidates who will apply because it has already become a habbit and this would be the section who will apply thru emails because its easy and dosnt take much effort.30% will be the applications thru job consultancies and portals.Only 10% will be the candidates who are desperately seeking a job.
So where do all the resumes go!In the dustbin as one HR manager informed me laughingly.I was annoyed with him.
How can they do it!Have we lost the human touch!Indirectly saying you are dashing the hopes of 10% who have hoped against all hopes to get a job!
In our constitution there is “Right to work” policy irrespective of gender,sex,religion,nationality etc but never followed by the multinationals!Really sickening.
What about the candidates who are above 40.Well nobody needs them it seems.Really sad!
Our system needs a rehaul.We have to understand the sensibilities of a person going thru job loss.He is down,demoralized because nobody wants him anymore.Even his wife and children start thinking lowly of him.
Recently I heard about 10000 fired employees of Citibank in India!Ok ,they might get compensation but what about their morale.Many among them will be above 40 who will find it hard to get anywhere!Same things I heard in Germany and elsewhere!Capitalism is taking us nowhere!Boss is buying a big boat for himself worth several million and we the real people who made him rich are going thru job loss just because they must improve their bottom line!
I say,enterpreunership must begin.Unfortunately the MNC’s have killed the spirit of enterpreuner.They just want to buy everything not content with what they have!Fortunately internet was a medium where enterpreuner thrived but soon this system will be hijacked by MNC’ like Google,Microsoft and Yahoo.There should be more opportunities for people who are above 40.Internet can do it,just one fine idea is needed.

The internet community has to persuade Google and the rest to come up with ideas to employ people online as per their will.Blogging is great but you cannot run your household on small income you generate thru google ads.There has to be something bigger than that.I hope Google can do it.So far they were the only company who were sensible for the people online.Lets hope a portal or social networking site is made which can discuss ideas about generating livelihood online!
