The long wait :-|


B.E. now stands for Berozgar Engineer(jobless for those who dint understand...however my blog is read by Indians only..that too just a few friends of mine..). This blog is dedicated to all my friends and their engineer friends and others who passed their B.E. or B.tech this year. The year when the recession hit the industry so bad that thousands of people lost their jobs and many others(freshers like me) lost their hope getting a job or being given Date Of Joining(My case).
Big brand names and pathetic management go hand in hand(at least here). Big IT companies selected young and enthusiastic(i am not talking only about myself here..) engineers in huge numbers and when it came to give joining these companies were no where in site(not considering Infosys..that is the most respected company among engineers now).
Some of the companies sent a rejection letter straight away(shattering all dreams right away), while there are others who didn't send a rejection letter but starting screwing students in the name of online training(that was kind of same as people had to give 30+ useless exams at a very short notice period...ankush i want a good comment this time) and then there are still more who have given no information about the joining date and has done nothing to keep its future employees occupied.
Wondering which of these company is better because people who got through 2nd and 3rd category of companies are thinking it would have been better had they been rejected in the first place because now 5 months down the line they could have looked for another job by now instead of sitting and waiting for the company to get back to them. However getting a rejection letter after getting selected by a prestigious company is like...(I don't know really like what but I don't think I would like to feel it either)
There is nothing me or any of my friends can do about it though. Its bad luck guys and don't worry this time would pass. There would be a day when we will sit and laugh about these days. Remember you are not the only one who is going through this and trust me we all have a bright future ahead.
Cheers!

  13. bhai,, take it in a positive way... wo jante hai ki baccho ne 18yrs padhai ki hai....kam se kam 1yr. to aaram karna to banta hai...that's the reason for late joinin....chill bro...
    agar phir bhi...if u want to join as soon as possible...bhai,,sooch hamari branch EEE hai aur sabko pata hai hamne kitni padhai ki hai...so we don't have any other option...
    jaise college life fir nahi aa sakta,,,ussi tareh ye time fir nahi mille ga...
    so enjoy this moment......

  18. good blog...started negatively but ended on a positive note.
    you've said it all in the last para-it's bad luck and the time shall pass.
    Good and Bad things are balanced across time.
    On a lighter note- had it been a boom time and IT companies would have been hiring madly, there would have been huge attrition with employees changing jobs quite often or not joining the company they were hired for. Then some HR person would have written the blog complaining that we hire students and they are not interested in our company even for a year.
    just wait for that time to come :D
