DREAM JOB:- Breaking Mental barriers

DREAM JOB:- Breaking Mental barriers  



The other day late night i was hanging out with one of my close friend, the topics were floating out haphazardly. The discussion turn out interesting when it reach to a topic unemployment. My Friend being a operational and sales head for one of the IT company was the right person for me to continue the conversation. He shoot one sentence, which was exactly contradictory to unemployment. For me my study says skills and trained manpower is the issue and the one of strong reason for unemployment. That night one more dimension opened, that there is something beyond skills and opportunists, and that is Mentality. At the outset i was not clear about what he wanted to say by that, and how the mental barer is responsible for the unemployment. The discussion which started from cigarette continued on tea and end on cold drinks. So here goes the details about the discussion and the mental barriers.

We are the Gen Y, popularly known for our talent and skills. Then how come the question of skill development will add to unemployment?? The point is valid but then what is the point in Mentality???
Today will all have something called as DREAM JOB the concept which is created bymind in our imagination and subdues in mind after facing the reality of professional life. There is no harm in having dream about the job, harm is to get stuck to it or wait for it years and years. I tell you of all the dream jobs 90% has nothing to do with the work. Dream job is about the Dream company the brand, the infrastructure the MNC/Corporate environment, the dressing, the facilities and the perks, but in all this parameters where is the work? the job roles and responsibility. Surely roles and responsibility has taken the back seat and what lies in head is the illusion.
Majority of IT population fall prey to this DREAM JOB concept and need attention to break their mental barrier. The passout IT fresher wanted their first job in MNC like Persistence, Cogni, Wipro, Accenture, below this they feel no point in working its like working at labor market for them. Only 20% of the freshers get absorb by this giant, then what about the rest 80% which contribute around 5 lakhs of population more here and there for the dream job. According to IDC data every year 7.5L engineering graduate pass-out  of which only 2L are been placed and 5.5L are at mercy. Now the point of breaking mental barrier is for this 5.5L candidates. The number can be reduce to 3L if they break their mental barrier and start working on whatever they get.
Students keep on waiting for  campus drive, Pool campuses, Walk-in drive, Megha Job feast and loos the precious one year. As their waiting period prolongs their skills and upgradation is challenged in the market because they are no more freshers now. Many of the students which are economically challenged join the NON-IT sector like KPO and BPO which again is illusion world.
My observation says get the technical job no matter how small or big the organisation is, as far as you are the part of system you are growing. The days you are out of system and waiting for your MNC dream job is killing your technical skills.
The choice is yours.
