Career Fair??? Naah...It's career unfair!
So, had a just-another career fair today. One of those dejecting days for students who have by now lost all hopes of getting internships or full time offers through these fairs.
The recession has already taken it's toll on the number of companies hiring and even those that are, they are hiring very few candidates.
Secondly, my major 'Masters in MIS' is something that hinges in-between an IT job and a management job which many companies find it difficult to comprehend. I had not thought the recognition of this course would be so bad here, considering that it is primarily a US specialization.
Third, the ever-green shadow of the third-world untouchable 'International student' nastily follows us wherever we desis go. That brings down the number of companies that we can lay our hopes on, to hardly a couple.
There are the American undergrad students who have multiple offers from all the big banners and here we are literally 'begging' for work. My outlook is just to land an internship. However, people who have that crazy dream of staying like a beggar, working for any company in any industry (believe this is true, people just want to earn, they don't care about their interest in any field/industry/domain) they have not even heard of all their lives and then being showered with green bills thinking they are doing a great job...I pity them. Even GOD doesn't know when they will be kicked out of this country. This is one of the major reasons of me showing my foot to this country after I graduate. What the hell do they think? Are we Indians beggars who will do any damn thing to stay here? Hell with your jobs...
Though a very diminutive probability, but still, I hope that one day, I shall be asking American citizens in India "Do you have a work authorization to work in India? If not then I am sorry we cannot offer you a job" GODDAMIT!!!!

hmm...trouble, trouble, everywhere, no jobs. In times when the world is being asked to believe in 'change' and 'yes we can', this kinda discrimination sucks.
