Much as we would wish for comforts in the job hunting process,the hardships and loneliness of the process whacks us each time.
It seems like it was only yesterday that we were into the golden era of job-hunting comfort. We could even relegate the dirty stuff to a professional nanny.
We enjoyed it all – The experts who held our hand and told us how to do it.
There were professionals out there for us, for making the perfect resume; there were service providers with the perfect technology of sending our resume everywhere. Someone proficient who did the mass mailing of our resume, handled our job alerts, and told us about everything that we needed to know but were too afraid to ask.
They are all still there for us- But …
Like the pujari ,who on you behalf explains to your favorite deity that you need money, cannot actually be held responsible for paying your house rent on time.
Yes, when it is time to do what has to be done one realizes that job hunting is still about individual strategy with everybody, including those million placement firms that still need to be contacted but with a personalized game plan.
Strangely, I wonder why we all have forgotten that intelligence still counts most.Formulas, be it intravenous drips, pills or in feeding bottles, are always questionable to debate.
