Desperate job hunters are getting cheated easily

A recent news item in The Hindu newspaper brought out a bitter fact. The crux is: there are many training institutes cheating poor students who are desperate to get job. They promise jobs in big companies, get money from students, give fake offers and disappear. They get huge money from students and promise a job in top 10 companies in India! For more details, read

What drives a student to do this? Desperation. Somehow I want to get employed. Education loan repayment on one side, pressure from parents on other side, no proper guidance etc. add to their agony and they suddenly go to this suicidal job attempt. For a moment imagine that you are one such student and got fake job offer; can you tell this incident to your kid or grand kid? Is it an achievement to tell? Students must think before they fall into this trap.

What students need is patience, rigorous practice and commitment. Practice makes man perfect. Nothing else can help. You need to be ready to take the job; job will come to you. Unfortunately people want job before they are ready for the job! There is no short cut to become proficient in subject. Today proficiency is required as every technology is reaching the highest quality and now it is not possible to hire people and then make them proficient. Every industry is facing shortage of time. Industry needs proficient people and that availability of proficient people is very less in our Indian market. Every individual needs to understand that they have to work for their earning. Very few are lucky in this. Most of them have to sweat.

Our belief is every individual has the potential within him/her, and our aim is to open up the inner knowledge which every individual possess and make them capable of facing the interview and succeed without even have a doubt in them. It is like a seed fallen on a land and nobody to water; that is the present condition of our students. We are here to water them, nurture them and bring them to market need. What we need is your belief in your strength.

With shortage of teachers, travel issues across cities, etc. the only way to make this happen is thru online education. Open Mentor aims to do this in whatever way it can.
 
NASSCOM has urged students to be careful of such fraudulent offers. “Companies have an operation process, details of which are available on their websites. Students can always call the numbers listed to get more clarity, instead of falling prey to the fake offers,” says K. Purushottaman, regional director, NASSCOM. “And, never trust any company that asks you to deposit money affront. No reputed company will ever ask you to do that.”
