Did you ever receive a call or unrelevant emails from the IT Recruiters ?? If no, you got to be lucky!!

I receive tons of emails and phone calls, even though I am not looking for change.

Just go and add a resume in naukri.com or monsterindia.com and you will receive tons of spams. Sometimes different recruiters call you for the same company position. Sometimes I even receive calls from consultants who don’t they what the skills keywords mean at all. All they care is to refer you some how so that they can make a quick buck.

They claim to recruit for a lot of top companies like Microsoft, Google, First American etc.

On the other hand if you are an employer you find lot of people interested in interview, but very few are willing to join. They will do the interview and then either they have a “social” problem for relocation or they have a “sick family member” to look after. My question to these kind of candidates is what do you gain from an interview ?? Is the feeling of passing the interview, something to rejoice? Why waste your time and others.

Finally I would also like to comment about the body shoppers that blossomed this season. They claim to take you to the “Fairy land - US!” and in turn ask for “security deposit” of Rs.50,000 to Rs. 100,000 . There were quiet a few this summer with same kind of terms and conditions. Why do people fall in traps of such filthy monsters ? Compare miserable life in US with $50k/yr of salary and living in a packed hatchet with several other similar ill-fated employees. Compare this with quality of life in India even if you are making Rs.300,000, you will live a very happy life here.

So the question is why people want to go to US ? I blame it on people’s attitude that “Phoren returns” are very smart. Families are happy if someone goes to US. They get good marriage proposals etc. While that fact is that particular “Phoren return” might be working at a Gas station or might be barely making his ends meet.
