Hi Sir/Madam,
I recently graduated from a good university in chennai and i am currently unemployed.
I am currently searching for a good job. i had registered in various job search and placement agencies.
Many consultancies are asking for proofs, documents etc for background verification, other processes etc. So i have to spend around Rs 70 to Rs 100 for couriers, xerox etc for each job searches via consultancies.
For last month alone i spent Rs 500 to 600 on couriers to sending proofs etc to various consultancy.
I didnt even get any interview schedule or interview via call etc. All i did was waste my time and spend money each time with these consultancies.
When i asked these consultancy about the status of the job search, they are replying back saying "it is in progress. We are fully involved with your job search". But i am not seeing any progress.
When i asked them, to give the expenses that has incurred due to sending documents, proofs (Rs 100 from each consultancy). They are saying like without spending money one cannot get jobs, many jobseekers are spending thousands of money on job search and placements. Consultancies cant bear these kind of expenses.
Is it not the responsibility of the consultancy agency to bear these kind of expenses?
If jobs is guranteed we can bear these kind of expenses but just for job searching itself (we may get job or not kind of situation) we are spending a lot :(
Is there any law to monitor these kind of difficulties faced by job seekers.
Please provide your valuable sugeestions / comments.
Thank you
