Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

SUBORDINATE STAFF

SUBORDINATE STAFF (1)

  • By far the largest no. of jobseekers in this country belong to this category. (Most, or perhaps all, of the 42 million jobseekers registered with 914 employment exchanges, would be happy to get a "subordinate" job. Nearly all of these are graduates in ARTS / SCIENCE / COMMERCE).
  • These also include CRAFTSMEN / ARTISANS, studying-in or passed-out from thousands of
    • ITI's (Industrial Training Institutes)
    • Coaching classes of all types
    • Private Training Institutions
  • Students graduating from thousands of ARTS / SCIENCE / COMMERCE colleges of India belong to this category.
  • Except for those coming out of ITI's rest have no "skills" (manual). They are poor even in mental skills (e.g: Calculation).
  • Most develop some skills after 2/3 years of practical experience.
  • Most of these (when employed) belong to UNIONISED / NON-SUPERVISORY cadre.

 

Subordinate Staff (2)

  • Most of the subordinate staff continue to work in the same "category/grade/cadre" for most of their working life, even though their "Skills" (pertaining to their "trade") do improve over a period of time. With improved skills, longer experience and a bit of "Versatility," their salaries do tend to rise, however, they continue to be identified with their "trade-category."
    • e.g. Corporates advertise for all kinds of "Receptionists" and pay salaries ranging from Rs. 3000 p.m. to Rs. 20,000 p.m., but still the Adverts. Says "REQUIRED RECEPTIONIST"
  • The advt. may specify
    • Edu. Quali } almost always
    • Experience
    • Salary offered } occasionally
    • Skills required
    • Sex / Gender

And the beauty is that

  • Irrespective of Edu. Quali & Exp. actually possessed, all kinds of candidates will apply (whether they qualify or not !) Also hundreds will apply.

Subordinate Staff (3)

  • Another note-worthy feature of this category (subordinate staff) is that most of these jobs get advertised in CLASSIFIED COLUMNS (rarely in APPOINTMENT pages).
  • And invariably, the "heading / title" of such job-advts is the TRADE CATEGORY.
  • Obvious reason is:
    • An existing "stenographer" searching a better job-opportunity, would almost invariably look-up classified job-advts. with heading STENOGRAPHER required.
    • occasionally, an ambitious person may also look-up SECRETARY or STENO-SECRETARY or EXECUTIVE ASST. required advts.
  • For such categories, most companies will advertise ONLY in local newspapers (i.e. never in magazines!) Quite often, afternoon newspapers which such people can read on their way home in evening (riding a bus/train).

(4)

  • In a similar way, a TYPIST working in Mumbai, is quite unlikely to look-up classified columns of a CHENNAI newspaper! She is looking for another TYPIST job in Mumbai itself.
  • So, there is very little "across-the-country/city" mobility in these categories.
  • So "city" where currently working is very important (in resume form)
  • Similarly "Posting City" will be very important in "Job Advt" posting form.
