A year after this pandemic: As a newly college graduate, it is very hard for us to find jobs. Many competitors and only few jobs are now being available. In my country, we have the longest lockdown which happened almost a year and it sucks. No board exams = no license. No license No proper job no money. I'm lossing the motivation to continue with what ive started. No amount of youtube motivational talks is enough to recover from this year of torment.

This is definitely an issue. My friends in India are claiming that many of the companies don't want to hire students who passed in 2021. The colleges and schools are close for almost one and half years and in many cases even the exams are being conducted online. Under these circumstances, obviously there will be some amount of fraud in exam valuation. But the companies are now collectively punishing all the students, rather than blacklisting those who are suspected of rigging their final exams.

A very sad batch year for graduates. I think government should step up and address this issue. What if this pandemic would still close schools and have virtual classes for a decade? More and more will suffer from this mindset of some companies.
