Over the last five years I have been hearing a lot about the global recession. When the current recession started I was in my teens and wondered what could be the possible meaning of recession. During 2005 – 2006 I was working with a Multi National company in India with a good salary and a great work environment. However I always had a dream to study in an international university and get a business degree.
United Kingdom has one of the best education systems across the world. I came to the UK during the spring of 2008 with high hopes and expectations. With great interest in the field of business, marketing and management I decided to pursue an MBA degree from a renowned UK university. My education journey in the UK was a roller coaster ride. After getting a Masters degree in business from a UK university I had plans to find a good professional job and gain some valuable international experience. I had always planned to go back to India and continue my professional journey in my home country. However some international experience can make a significant difference to your CV and future job hunt. But little I knew of how bad the economic situation was in the UK.
After finishing my education in the spring of 2010 my journey of finding a decent job began. It was a phase where I struggled through several rejections and de-motivating comments from employers. After nearly 6 months and several interviews I decided to pursue an internship in Online Marketing. The journey of finding an Internship with a good company was also a struggle. However I took up an internship with a renowned Translation Agency based in London specialising in Translation services. After successfully completing my Internship I was hired as a full time employee working as a digital marketer. Journey to finding my current job was stressful, tedious and to a certain extent de-motivating. The current global recession has taken a toll on young graduates and even on the experienced professionals looking for a career progression. The journey of finding a good job in today’s economic crisis is not easy and requires a lot of self motivation and determination.
