In here I shall document my sincere and honest journey towards navigating the Kafkaesque labyrinth of getting a fucking job... every day from now.

I spent something more than an hour scrolling through "any graduate" and "bachelors of technology" jobs with freshness 3 days ago and searched through almost a thousand jobs. I got irritated and saw a few jobs that are just reporting and excel work and applied for it despite the job showing 100+ applicants have already clicked it, just to see how many had actually applied, and as I guessed, there were 1000+ applicants in these jobs. Of course, of these 1000+ applicants, many didn't even have the necessary skills and still had applied for it.
I managed to get a relative share my resume to an HR from one of those WITCH shitholes and she called me today and asked me for voice process experience and I had to awkwardly explain to her (I wonder if she even understood what I had to say to her) that I am an engineering graduate and I hope that she figured out by my awkward speech patterns that I'm not going to suit for this shit anyway.
I try to explain my mom that I don't want to work in such jobs and she asked me how much does that relative gets paid and I say 40 to 50k and she just says why don't you do it? Money is all that matters to her and I can't really explain that communicating to human beings makes me miserable to her.

Good idea. If you start in an industry you don't like, other industry won't hire you based on previous industry.
I am stuck myself in an industry I hate.

I wake up to find my whatscrap spammed with a handful of instagram reels about getting a job and these people will only share the link in private if they leave a comment saying LINK. I hope these impression farmers have a special place in hell. Of course it's about customer voice processes and consultancies trying to market themselves. I plan to send an email that was specified in the reels later. What's even annoying is I find these reels more informative than scrolling job portals because they have details about Walk-ins or job fairs that I don't find elsewhere.
My dad brought me the classifieds from a newspaper and I was able to find a relevant mechanical engineering job - maintenance engineer - for a small company that exists 40 kilometers away from my home. There was another job that asks for basic computer skills. I don't feel like applying to these. I mostly saw advertisements for site engineers having a civil engineering degree, accountants, sales and marketing as usual. Somehow I feel like civil engineering is better than other useless engineering degrees now.
I looked down and I see more than half the page full of advertisements just for teachers and principals for schools. Online, I mainly see sales and marketing advertisements, and in these classifieds it looks like teaching jobs dominate the pages, but I don't have a B.Ed. or a qualification to teach kids. Not suitable for me.
Since I spent more than a couple of hours scrolling Naukri, I was able to go through the fresh jobs that were posted yesterday quickly, and as usual nothing relevant exists. I went to LinkedIn and spent a couple more hours scrolling through maybe around 1000 jobs that were posted in the last week. I found the exercise completely pointless and absolutely nothing suitable existed there. Entry level position filter was used but still I found these advertisements specify 2+ or sometimes even 5 years of experience. 75% of the jobs are sourced from other job portals like Shine or careers section of companies while 25% of it were posted by the companies that have a profile in LinkedIn and they were quite useless as well.
I should consider LinkedIn as something less important than Naukri.

I spent the past couple of hours searching "unemployed 35 india" in reddit, specifically threads created since July. Hundreds of threads and thousands of replies later - all I could find was just four to five replies repeating over and over again - be humble and settle for sales / support jobs, upskill (and join a course possibly with placement assistance), MBA, and job portals. Even saw a guy going SSR and leaving a good bye message and nuking his account with 200+ replies concerned about him.
Earlier you just needed a degree and you got government jobs, then you needed an engineering degree, then you needed an engineering degree and skills, now you need an engineering degree, skills and also proof of work they say.

brootal yaar, it is all the fault o the boomers and their constant need to wage a status game amongst their peers. They use their kids in this gamei. I have hardly ever seen muzzkikes do these. It is always the handus.
Most people could settle for a normal paying jaab even majdoor ones. Way better than ending one's life yaar

No females, only sweaty horny males. High rate of divorce. Mech fags are slightly better but barely so.

If its posted on Linkedin means they have someone in mind already.

Because any idiot gets a degree these days by mugging up bullshit with 0 real world skills.

chutiya. you should have taken it. I worked at a bookstore for a while and it was comfy as hell because the only piece of equipment I had was an old windows 7 computer and a register. Plus aren't computer jobs more valuable and broad enough for you to upskill and move to another domain later?

I wasted enough time on Naukri and LinkedIn the past couple of days so I didn't have much to go through today. I scrolled through maybe 400 to 600 jobs, then spent my time going through "india job search" threads on reddit. They suggested other job portals because LinkedIn is more about optics and masturbation and that their job board is basically useless. Instahyre, Internshala, Glassdoor, Indeed, WellFound, FoundIt, etc. etc.
I scrolled through Instahyre, which is quite small, and Internshala as well. I found some jobs there but I don't have an account yet so I'll try to investigate them tomorrow or another day. WellFound is for experienced professionals trying to get a job in a startup that will probably shut down in a year or two because statistically 90% of startups just die. So many AI startups. Quite annoying.
Glassdoor seems to have quite a lot of fresher jobs but when I look at the company details they turn out to be somewhat shady. Today I'm just going to spend observing and not clicking on anything, and it's Friday so not much activity going on in these places. Sundays will be even quieter.

Yesterday's update got deleted, and I just scrolled Naukri for today. It's a Sunday so nothing going on in there. Just like LinkedIn, I don't find Naukri useful either.
I've been thinking about the kind of job that I'd want to even do.
>less social and customer / client facing
>little to no travel involved
>tolerable upto 20km from home
>would gladly take it if I got paid 25000 rupees per month
<a typical salesgirl at a supermarket earns 15000 rupees by the way but my last interviewer tried to lowball me into accepting a 18000 rupees 3 year bond offer and when I said I don't want to he behaved quite arrogantly
>something that my legs can handle
>a place that is not run by an asshole who yells at people and doesn't take responsibility
>potential useless office politics inducing atmosphere like academia
>something that doesn't involve service or helping people because I hate human beings for the most part or doesn't involve managing other human beings
Nothing worked out in the past 7 fucking months. I should probably just main Indeed because even if it looks scammy at least there are things that you can actually apply to in there. LinkedIn is very demotivating, and Naukri is annoying.

Job staffing firms. High quality posts than Linkedin slop. naukri is decent, but narrowing down takes lot of work and the interface is simply terrible.

The job portals were dry. Not much activity because Sunday and Valentine's day means HRandis will be busy taking care of their vaginal contractions than posting job advertisements.

I've used custom CSS + uB0 filters to make naukri manageable but it's still shit because the quality of jobs are shit.
I'll look into Randstad and Michael Page yaar. I see them posting job ads in Naukri or KikedIn now and then as well.

Applied for a content writer job that had 30 applicants in Naukri but when I finished applying it just showed 450 applicants. Even this number is a joke at this point.
My previous workplace posted a walkin ad online. I think around 20 teachers are quitting this time. I don't want to ever go back but I suggest the possibility to my parents and they said I shold've just stayed there and not go back after all the shame I went through.
Drama about my joblessness - my dad scoled my mom for pampering me (basically deflecting his agency in parenting me) and mom giving me a huge lecture about how everyone including girls ypunger than me are working and doing WFH jobs. I try to ask what they're doing but there's no answer.

Tutions as a means of earning?

I gave my resume to a guy who is a mason and supervises laborers to build / repair old houses. He said he will share my resume to L&T and to his friends.
I applied for a job 3 months ago on Indeed, and the HR finally woke up and texted me if I am looking for a job. Sadly, the time that I applied for that job was a bad one and I did not check the company or the reviews and after seeing his message I did check and find out it has 1.5 star rating in AmbitionBox with 4 to 5 reviews complaining about horrible top level management and withholding salary when being relieved. I am going to ghost him. Responding after 3 months is not a good sign. Salary, 18k it says.

Yes. I tried that. I was able to earn 2000 rupees trying to teach a 10th student. The parent withdrew after the 2nd month because he saw no improvement and I was not dominant and controlling. I gave assignments and question papers to work out but nothing came out.

Based. These fags have good contacts. L&T is not good to work in, depending where you are placed

I didn't do anything. I just investigated the legitimacy of these so call company reviews and tried out these job portal algorithm whether it actually is any useful or not (it isn't).
Wasted the past 10 days pretty much doing barely anything and applied for only one job. Not a good sight.

Hiring across industries has slumped in India. The IT sector is already in the midst of an extended layoff period.
So, is anyone hiring right now? As it turns out, the maximum contraction in new hirings is in the recruitment sector itself.
