Grass Always Looks Greener on the other side of the road!

After so much efforts and tiring work,  i started my own consultancy firm in Lucknow. Soon, i realized that it was not very easy to survive in Lucknow. Lucknow had its own consultancy trend, where the Job consultancy company charged money from the candidates instead of  the companies. I never liked this trend because i still remember the days when I was student. We were given limited money and it was very hard for us to pay membership fess to the job consultancies for jobs and sometimes we even fall prey to some of the fake consultancies who charged us money promising jobs but we never received interview calls from them.

I know how much it troubled me. Even after paying fee to many consultancies,  jobs weren’t guaranteed. What was guaranteed was just tension for jobs.  I wanted to do something, something  for the students.  I wanted to provide appropriate jobs for them without charging any fee from them. But it wasn’t so easy. When every consultancies charged money, and you decide not to charge any money from students you have to have some backup plans for survival.

Survival with the above decision was really tough, but not impossible.  Initially companies  were not wiling to partner with Gs Job Point for their Jobs requirements because GS Job Point charged them whereas  other companies did not charge them.  Many companies suggested us to charge money from candidates, but i was firm that GS Job Point will never charge money for jobs. from students.  Soon, Companies started realizing the difference between GS Job Point and other job consultancies and they started to come themselves to partner with us. In just one years time, GS Job Point was counted among the top consultancies of Lucknow

What i learnt is that Its important to have a vision for your company. I had the vision to help students and to change the trend that is prevalent in Lucknow. Although it takes a huge lot of patience to convert your vision into reality, Its always worth the effort. GS Job Point has already placed hundreds of students free of charge and will continue to do so even in the future.

Happy Friendship Day to every  GS Job Point Visitor

Friendship Day celebrations take place on the first Sunday of August every year. The tradition of dedicating a day in honor of friends began in US in 1935. Gradually the festival gained popularity and today Friendship Day is celebrated in large number of countries including India. On this day people spend time with their friends and express love for them. Exchange of Friendship Day Gifts like flowers, cards and wrist bands is a popular tradition of this occasion.

Friends are really one of the most important asset of any one’s life.  You are lucky even if you have only one good friend.  It does not matter if you have thousands of friends, what matters at the end of the day is whether you have any good friend or not? So, if you have any good friend, take the occasion to tell him how important he/she is for you.

bye bye  and take care.

Everybody has dreams. I also had. But what is required to convert dreams in reality is ACTION. Most people dream and they continue dreaming, I never wanted to be one of the them. So, I finally decided to quit my job and wrote a resignation letter to my boss. It took a huge lot of courage to write the resignation letter that time.

I finally took action to convert my dreams into reality. Taking action is always hard and it was very hard for me also because i was just another Joe in the classroom and i was always an average student. Most of my friends thought i was not capable of starting my own company and they always advised me not to give resignation. Many friends even told me that i was ruining my growing career. I thank all those friends for all the discouragement they gave me, because that made me more stronger than ever to go for my dreams.

I came back to Lucknow to start my own firm. As a beginner, I was quite tensed and confused on how to go ahead starting a company. I talked to my friends for help, some friends did not help and some ignored me so that i may not ask any help from them. It’s well said ” friend in need is friend indeed “. I realized the truth of the statement,  i was very confused and broke.

But i always believed in the almighty, I believed in him as i knew he will never let me down. When most of my friends did not help, some of my friends  whom i  have never expected came forward to help me out. they are  still with me for any help and support i need. After discussing with my friends, i decided to launch my company. The first thing they  suggested was to decide a name for company.

I love my father a lot, so i wanted name of the company to be something in the name of my father. After much thinking, I decided “GSJOBPOINT” as the name of my company. It was put on the name of my father, whom i love a lot.  Starting a company formally was another difficult step which every aspirant has to undertake. I will write about the steps of opening a consultancy company in India in my next post.

I never thought there are so many things in starting a new company, but trust me starting your own company is a very satisfying experience. I will continue in next post, till then bye bye.
