Stop this cheating
Md Jasim Uddin, Uttara, Sector-7, Dhaka
We are champions, not once or twice, but five times at a stretch! Yes, you are right! We are the topmost in the ranking of most corrupt countries. But who have contributed to this great achievement? Only the government? Only the police? No! not at all! Police corruption or taking bribe or Bakhshish is now an open secret. They take it explicitly. But implicit corruption is not less rampant in our country! Are you surprised? Then I will make it clear by sharing my two bitter experiences with you.It was the month of April. My MA (English) exam was going on. Meanwhile a gorgeous (only regarding earning money) advertisement of a job drew my attention. The criteria of that job was only 2nd division in HSC exam and fluent in English but no experience. After two weeks, yes exactly 2 weeks from the time of dropping of my application, I telephoned the advertiser to know if they had sent my interview card or not. Surprisingly, the woman who received my phone told me that the candidates had already been selected. She also added that only short listed candidates were selected. Before asking her how it was possible, she cut off the line. However, I was quite astonished. I, an Hons Graduate (English), was not eligible even to face the interview. Some days later I came to know from one of my friends that one of his close friends who had just passed his BA (Pass) exam got the job only for being a nephew of a big uncle. Anyway, a few days ago I was cheated/bluffed by another advertisement. My question to the sensible citizens of the country and concerned authorities is, why the organisations and educational institutions do not mention the criteria for being selected to be interviewed. I secured a place in the SSC merit list, my HSC result is also good. In the Honors and Masters level also I have secured the desired results (second class with good marks; as first class in English Literature is the rarest thing in Bangladesh). Then which criteria are required to be short-listed for interview to be an ordinary Lecturer of a private college? Does anyone need a degree from the Oxford University? Should he/she posses Ph.D? If they are needed, then why do they not mention it in the advertisement? Then is it employment or only a business of receiving Pay Order of Tk 200/300 etc? They do not even mention their phone number. Why? The government should make a rule (to be implemented) that every advertisement should have clarity in it so that no job seeker is cheated.
