I am at that juncture of life now where one has to put on the thinking shoes. One tends to start retrospecting as to how better one could have dealt with it. There are lots of plans and then better plans and then even better ones to cope with the failures. Sometimes I get frustrated and at other times I see a dim ray of hope somewhere. You got it right, the final semester of graduation.
As I stepped into this semester I was very confident that within a couple of weeks or so I would be proudly holding an offer letter. Then after acquiring a few years of work experience, I would go for an MBA from some reputed institute. Being one among the top six students from my discipline this semester with a decent knack for finance as well, I actually had everything well thought out. But things always don’t go as planned.
First, there are not many companies for Chemical-ites coming on campus this semester, they say that the firms are saturated to brim with Chemical students and a few companies that have turned up are also not hiring people from my discipline. There is also a dearth of the so-called ‘Bus’ companies and the situation for finance companies seems to be going through a similar phase. So, there is not much to sit waiting for.
I have to come up with an alternative plan. First, would be to sit jobless at home preparing for CAT 2010. I had given a mock attempt at that last semester with nothing good coming from that either. Second, I can try off campus placements but these job-hunt sites are proving to be no good. I get over 10 mails daily from such sites but the jobs they offer have a few small problems (!)-some of them date to over an year back, some of them are receptionist jobs and a few good ones look for work ex.
I haven’t chalked out a third plan yet but now I feel like giving myself in to the mantra ‘Sometimes to deal with it is to do a deal with it!’ The deal here would be to just sit and wait and see what else life has in store for me (already you can see that mounting frustration)!
I know this isn’t the right way to go about dealing with stuff but I believe I have nothing better to do now. I need some motivation to bolster my morale. Probably, when I talk of giving in, someplace deep down in my heart, I am looking for that ray of hope, that tinge of energy to get me up and going again…
Cheers,
Piyush.
