Mega Job Fair by Presidency Foundation: A Cruel Mockery of Desperate Job Seekers

 

Open Letter: A Stark Criticism of the Mockery Called "Mega Job Fair" by Presidency Foundation

To All Job Seekers and Unemployed Youth,

Let me share my bitter experience from my visit to the so-called Mega Job Fair 2023, organized by Mrs. Kauser Nissar of Presidency Foundation. This event, advertised as a beacon of hope for job seekers, turned out to be nothing short of a cruel joke on the unemployed, exploiting their desperation for publicity.

Observations That Demand Condemnation

1. Heartbreaking Sight
   Seeing hordes of unemployed individuals from all age groups—elderly citizens, young graduates, and even women with children in tow—standing in endless lines was nothing short of gut-wrenching. This wasn’t a job fair; it was a grim spectacle of disorganization.
2. Chaos Over Organization
   Registration was a nightmare. People endured painfully long queues only to be followed by yet another line for so-called "screening." Was this a job fair or a test of patience?
3. Incompetent Screening
   Screening was handled by untrained Presidency College students barely out of their teens, who had zero idea about matching candidates to relevant companies. I had to intervene and teach them basic screening procedures—something the organizers should have ensured. How can a professional job fair rely on amateurs?
4. The Great "Interview" Farce
   After hours of waiting, candidates reached the counters where the "interviews" were supposed to happen. What a scam! Instead of real companies, 95% of the stalls were occupied by consultancies doing nothing more than collecting CVs for their databases.
5. Unprofessional Consultants
   These so-called "consultants" were clueless about job openings. Their dismissive responses—"We’ll call you if we have something"—mocked the very purpose of a job fair.
6. Exploitation in Plain Sight
   Adding insult to injury, I learned that many attendees had allegedly paid some amount also for registration. Since when did job fairs, especially ones claiming to help the unemployed, become a money-making racket?

The Definition of a Job Fair—And How This Failed Miserably

A real job fair brings genuine companies looking to hire, conducts interviews, and offers on-the-spot placements. What Presidency Foundation offered was a branding exercise masquerading as a job fair, leaving job seekers humiliated and their hopes shattered.

To Presidency Foundation: Shame on You

This event wasn’t just poorly organized—it was callous and exploitative. How dare you manipulate the hopes of struggling individuals for publicity? Instead of serving the community, you’ve demonstrated utter disregard for their plight.

To Mrs. Kauser Nissar and Presidency Foundation: Stop playing with people’s emotions. The unemployed youth don’t need fake promises; they need real opportunities. If you can’t organize a legitimate job fair, then don’t organize one at all.

Final Thoughts

This event was a cruel joke on the unemployed, a branding gimmick wrapped in false hope. I urge all job seekers: demand accountability from such organizers and beware of paying for promises that lead nowhere.

Sincerely,
