What’s Next Now?

This time last year, when the Royal Civil Service Examination (RCSC) result was declared, my result was just fitting. Out of 336 students who had appeared in the Post Graduate Diploma in Public Administration category, only 36 were enrolled in Royal Institute of Management (RIM) as always. I was ranked in top 70’s and was not able to get admission in RIM. When the time for assortment in Civil Service was piloted I was selected to track my Post Graduate Diploma in Education and off to my knowledge I didn’t go for that one. The then what RCSC called the eligibility certificate with one year validity was given to those graduates who had passed RCSC exam. 

Then the time for race in job market was in full swing. The announcements in various Ministries’, departments, private sectors and so on and so forth were announced and those unfiltered one have to contest and try to get catch with one of the profession. The earlier scheme of waiting list after exam was no more in plan and even after passing exam the getting of job become more chaotic. If one wills to join there were some excuses in his/her mind whether to join or not to join. Slowly but surely, the time passes nippily without one’s notice and the validity of eligibility certificates comes to the end of life.

Similar is the case for every batch of graduates and if you are not strong-minded then the problem will be following us in every state of affairs. This year, when the RCSC result was declared, some were happy and some were not. Among them was one of my friends and now I know what kind of pressure is building in his mind. All I have told him was, just to stress-free and everything will be fine. I don’t mean to be sure, but that is the way how to soothe the shattered one. The fact is now, he will have harsh journey until his destiny. If luck favor’s him, he will have good job very soon, otherwise he have to go for another course of action.

That’s just one example; similar to him there are lots of graduates who will now have to fight against the race of time. Even after 3 years of graduation, there are still some who are still in hunt for good job and I am also one amongst them. When time to look for good job, they ask us our experience and without job how will we have experience. If we have experience then they ask us for our qualification. Indeed, the job arcade in Bhutan is totally complex and full of miss match in profession.

The graduates hereafter will have rough time looking for work. Every year the numbers of graduates are increasing but with no increase in job openings. At this time all we have to do is we have to really ponder from our kidney and make our living even if the job is not suitable for us. Not all jobs are bad, if you will and smudge your fortitude, where ever we work, we get gratification and make us joyful at the end of the day.  Getting a chance is quite thought-provoking, but when you get any, go for it and that will make variance in your career.
