Men don't fall in love
So, a friend of mine is thinking of a job switch, she asked me for some advice as by now it has been quite established that 'I have nothing else to do'.
Anyway, I drew an interesting analogy between a job and a girlfriend. Both the first job and the first girlfriend generally happen on campus. For a fresher, getting a job off campus is quite difficult, quite similar to making the first girlfriend. Ironically, IITians get one of the best jobs on campus. (I think you are smart enough to figure out the irony)
If you have a job, you can leverage that to get a better job, again quite similar to dating. You get introduced to a potential job opportunity via your friends, again quite similar to getting introduced to a potential girlfriend.
And then on the online front, there are a number professional networking websites like LinkedIn where you get to know of a new job opportunity, Facebook does something quite similar on the social networking front.
Then there are paid websites online operating in both job hunting and dating arenas quite successfully.
Now is the interesting part, for a well paying job, you will have to get filtered through multiple rounds. So in case you make it through the strenuous process, you are so exhausted by then, that you stick with the job for a long time, if not a lifetime. Quite similar is the case with pretty girls, they will make you so exhausted running after them, that if you make it till the end and start dating them, it generally ends in a long term relationship, if not marriage. Men don't fall in love, they are just too lazy to go for a look out again, so they give up.
