A long wait for government job


Caption: A typical scene at the Employment exchange


Faith moves mountains, says a proverb.
But it is not so in the case of Manikandan, 40-year old B Com graduate and now an auto driver in north Chennai.
Having registered at the employment exchange at Santhome wayback in 1982, his long wait for over quarter century for a government job has proved futile.
The news is, he has not received even one interview card since registration. And now, Manikandan has decided not to renew his registration hereafter as he turned 40.
``I registered all my qualifications starting from SSLC. Now I lost all my hope that I can get a job from the government after this age,'' says Manikandan.
But a 46-year old Sundaresan, resident of Choolai, who registered himself with the employment exchange in 1982, does not fail to renew the registration, though he too did not get any interview card.
Sundaresan's belief is: ``Who knows the government may suddenly come out with any scheme for people like us or even declare a monthly pension or any financial assistance.''
