This one I just had to write.
I have previously written about the educational sector in India, and where we are lacking. The coaching centres have become the most important thing in a student’s life. Unfortunately, they have become more important than the very colleges that he/ she is getting coached for!
Now okay! You get to all these different coaching centres, and do manage to hoodwink the entrance exams with the overdose of coaching and manage to get a seat in a very good college. Now what?
You slog in the college there, take further coaching to get through the tortuous years and finally, lets assume, you make through. After many levels of such iterations right from the all-important board exams to the post-graduation you are now finally declared a post graduate. At least that is what your degree says.
Why did you slog all these years? Obviously, you want a good paying job!
But well, The recruiters are no fools, and they can see through your years of coaching. Looking at your resume itself they would find out your worth, and trash your candidature. How do you tackle that?
Fret not! There are enterprising people out there in the market to cater to that need too. As they say, a good CV is half job done during job search, and here is where the so called “friends” and “brothers” come into picture. No, I am not talking about your siblings. This is the way these companies talk to you.
Enter – “The CV Builders!”
“YOU SPEND LAKHS ON GETTING DEGREES AND SPEND YEARS TO ACHIEVE THAT EXPERIENCE BUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SKILLS TO PORTRAY THEM NICELY IN A CV THEN ALL IS WASTE. SO CONTACT US AND LET US DESIGN A DESIGNER CV FOR YOUR BOOMING CAREER…….” touch the emotional chord of the unemployed person.
I was aghast when I received this mail!

Maybe! Maybe it already exists and I am not aware of it! Maybe!
I bet whoever came up with the concept must’ve been pained by editing poorly written resumes from his friends etc. and thought, now why not I be paid by the hour to do this! lol…
I am sure. but still this cannot, and should not, exist as an industry! you can help someone in making a CV. you cannot make it for them( In half an hour!!!)
