Stepping Stone to Corporate: story of a fresher

Yes, education is fine, but we are not hiring freshers. Or, 15K/month is the highest we can offer to a fresher. These are the things I recently heard as an MBA graduate from a reputed college. It did break my heart, but also made me ponder deeply over the topic; How freshers are living their lives in this cut-throat competitive world.  

20 years of education is not enough. That is right. We all are living in a society where HRs of big companies ask for 5 years of experience for an entry-level profession. For them, experience matters the most, but your skills, knowledge, and ability do not matter at all. A fresher dies every minute from within seeing multinational companies hiring students from Top A schools but never notices their talent.
In recent times, I came across many companies that take pride in giving jobs to freshers but hide the ugly reality of overworking and underpaying them. After post-graduation, you get to get 10K a month for the same work they would have to pay at least 50K to experienced personnel. Why is this gap? Why do they want to exploit the fresh talent? Why is anyone not stopping them?

An average day of a final year student starts with career tension and ends with the same. The problem, however, is not the paucity of jobs but the quality of the same. If we look at an average job poster on LinkedIn and many other platforms, they write ‘Best in the Industry’ in the stipends section. It makes me laugh sometimes that they know very well that their offerings will not attract any student to even send a resume.

For a fresher, it is heartbreaking to see 2 out of 40 students getting placed. It is heartbreaking to see companies being audacious, or I can say shameless enough to offer less than 20K to a PG student. It is agonizing to be overworked and underpaid. But unfortunately, this issue is not being addressed at all. Because as a society, banning a comedian and knowing when are Katrina and Vicky Kaushal getting married is more important to us. For me, it is funny, embarrassing, frustrating, and heartbreaking.

To my surprise, there is yet a new trend in the corporate world these days, Internships cannot be considered as your professional experience. It is not just weird but also a shameless act practiced by a few companies. For a student, internships are the only way of gaining exposure to corporate culture and to add something in the experience section of their resume.

There is no way out unless the companies decide to break the longstanding hypocritical strategy of hiring only experienced candidates. The fresh talents deserve a chance, not exploitation in the name of low-quality jobs.

You have written a very good blog, but this has been a big problem for many people for a long time, I think.

In order to gain that experience, they must work, that is, how do they intend to have experienced people then.? I don't know industries have a weird thought

They ask for experience but do not give the opportunity to get it, it is an infinite loop that is lived at the end of school

Acquiring experience certainly needs money, in my perspective people should be accepted that way because as time goes by they learn

It is also curious that people who are newly graduated are not offered the job, and they let themselves go by people who have more years of experience for me should be given the opportunity to new entrants

I always asked myself the question why not to give recent graduates a first job opportunity, and fortunately there are countries that have this policy beneficial to them and with a good salary. Only then can you get the experience to climb for a better job.

Studying and gaining experience costs money and you can already be happy that there are people who want to give you the opportunity to learn these things and still pay you for them, too.

Very well written article. It is a problem indeed to find a decent, well paid job as a post graduate these days.

Everything that has to do with the work environment is a mess, many people, many thoughts, many ways of executing.!

that is the dilemma of the lives of people who want to be part of the labor field ask you for study and experience but who do not go beyond 30 years

I agree 100% with all the comments, I have met very well-studied people who leave much to be desired.

Yes, this problem is as old as the world itself. In my time - a long time ago - we already knew these situations. And you're doing little against it in a democratic country. It is the power of the companies you have to deal with. And even in highly communistically structured countries, you have the same situations these days.

@vanshikagadekar004 that reality is sad, there will always be a powerful one who takes advantage of a weaker and apparently helpless one

We never stop studying, that is a law, practically something new comes out, something to learn in any workplace or social environment.

I must say that, I have had to meet people with a high level of training and who, most of them do not measure up, Let's give the opportunity to the one who was trained in a self-taught way, perhaps that person of much more than is expected.

Very true, I totally agree. I went through something very similar myself and felt devastated. Hope companies see past working experiences and give chance to your talents.
