Job oppurtunities in Electrical sector for fresher
It'll be long post, please kindly bear with me!
Myself Hemanth, A 2013, Electrical engineering pass out from Shimoga,A tier 3 city in karnataka.
Just after my completion of engineering I'm on a job hunt, but the present scenario is just suffocating for a fresher like me.
Why?
Because, most of the jobs on offer are either related to IT,programming or customer support jobs.
Which like a entire change over for a electrical stream student.
But there are no openings in electrical industries for freshers & most of the small to medium scale industries fills in their vacancy by searching their own circle.
Thus even finding an opening is small/medium scale industry has become a nightmare for a student with out any contacts in Industry. Not only in my case, most of the students aspiring to work in core sectors are facing the same problems. Being a student from a small city competing for a job, demands a lot in the real world scenario!
Wasn't there any campus recruitment at your college?
yes there were many companies visiting our college, As it's the factor which influences a 10+2 student while selecting the college.
The list given out by our college barely matches the number of colleges visiting in reality,
This year many companies came to our college & nearly 120 students were placed in our college,
but most of them never got their call letter as the companies are still keeping them as a provisional candidate, but instead what they got was their photos in college year book & banner out side of the college as placed student! For a college finally the number is what that matters.
So,What about you?
Well, I was also placed in a company which manufacturers alternators & turbines, that with a very good package, but only after clearing 2 days worth of selection procedure.
What happened next is the interesting twist in story, after getting selected as a provisional candidate,The company sacked all the electrical students who were placed because their requirements were met.
so after getting photos clicked, sweets given, parties done all went for nothing!
Ever felt cheated before?
they say that the world is like that only!
Finally, whats your question?
Here comes the climax of my first post, After all these i just don't want join any IT related industries nor any customer support industry.
I just want to do what i learned for 4 years, i.e; to be an electrical engineer.
It may be any field, machines, switch gears, drives, servicing,commission & testing, support, Any thing in my field is a welcome for me, so as the salary, let it be low paying job. I'm sure in can grow in it eventually.
But right at this point ain't getting no opening no where, So fellow members please guide me a way!
Just awaiting a replay from you guys.
