Before we head to the main article, let us take a look at the main factors that have made job hunting a difficult task. Here we go-

Why finding a decent job has become difficult?

First of all, we can blame it on the recession. The big bad recession’s after effects are still lingering on. Many business sectors were hit badly by the recession. They had to resort to cost cutting measures so that they could survive. Thanks to such measures, many professionals lost their jobs. And still, while recruiting people, businesses tend to be more choosy and careful. Many firms have also cut down on their recruiting activities. This has resulted in a steep decrease in the number of job openings. Naturally, this has made job hunting pretty difficult for graduates and working professionals alike!

Then comes job market saturation. There are so many graduates passing out from Colleges each year that it more than the actual demand. I mean, the supply of graduates is more than the demand for them! As a result, many graduates are unable to land good jobs. Many of them are forced to take up not so well rewarding jobs!

Why fresh graduates have been the worst hit?

Recruiters these days refrain from signing up freshers. Freshers have little to no working experience. Companies are unwilling to invest towards the development of such freshers. They look for experienced professionals who could fit right into their system. As a result of this trend, it has become quite difficult for freshers to land decent paying jobs! In other words, they have been the worst hit section!

Now, let us head to the list of websites that are well known in India for providing excellent job listings and other job hunting related services. Please note that the list has not been ranked in ascending or descending order.
