The dream date.

The global crisis is creating fury all over the world. The economy of almost every nation seems to be vulnerable and stock markets are plunging badly. It is a matter of concern for every citizen. However, the array of people affected by this meltdown are innumerable and the count grows every minute at an alarming rate..... Among the ones affected by the meltdown are the various fresh engineering and technology college graduates too. Alas! I am one of them too!

We had strived day in and day out to make the best out of the four years of graduation... Gradually with the passage of time, when one started performing well in the various tests, a feeling of satisfaction came up... But the best thing for one was getting a job in an IT firm with a catchy pay! It was like a dream come true and a feeling of pride engulfed the budding engineers.

All were eagerly waiting to shed the college graduate cocoon, march forward into the professional life and make a fortune. Every one of us had a million desires about our career and were just excited and anxious to make a good career. Whoops! But with the Global economic crisis, all the dreams seem too distant to achieve. Most of the graduates who got through top-notch firms are waiting eagerly for an intimation to join the firm. Some graduates have not got any sort of intimation from the firm regarding when they have to join, while others have been told bitterly that they cannot join the firm until next year. The most terrible situation is that of those minuscule category of graduates who were abrasively informed that the job offered to them months ago has been nullified due to business reasons and poor performance of the firm. For those students it was like doomsday. The worst part is that all the IT firms have held back new recruitment and finding a new decent IT job seems next to impossible .

The graduates are going through a state of agony. However, one has to believe that, it is not the end of the world, times will surely change. But, its ones duty to make efficient utilization of the mean time. One can work on programming languages, technical skills and also on ones vocabulary. After all "Knowledge has no limits" and one has to gradually improve oneself to survive in the competitive world.... Lets all hope that the "Dream Date" to join the firm is dispatched soon and that all the graduates can have a head start in the professional career!
