Human Resource departments in India are awfully narrow minded. They think that by sticking to the rules during recruiting new employees, they'll find the best lot. In HR departments here, it is unheard of, to think out of the box. They stick to the basics, are don't bother beyond that.
For example, I'm a smart person, who ideally should have found a job by now. But I haven't. The first thing an HR professional will do, after looking at my CV, is complain about how I haven't found a job in so many months. Why can't they think beyond the fact that everyone is not desperate to work all the time! Maybe, just maybe, people like to take breaks. Or people are interested in pursuing other interests for a while. Or that when people claim to have some experience, they actually do, and are not exaggerating for the sake of that one interview.
I think this is mostly because people applying for jobs want good ones, without necessarily having the qualification or experience. But on the other hand, there are some people, who could be great for a particular job, without the exact qualifications or decades of experience, but are still rejected, because HR people don't like to take risks or experiment with who they hire.
I have noticed that in India, people are not as result oriented as they should be. I don't know if I've become like that because of AIESEC or did I always have a conscience. But there's so much one can do in
HR and most of the people seem so uninterested. I wish they would be more open minded and less lazy! Its disheartening to see the kind of pre conceived notions most working people have of HR people.
