Get a Job

I'm sixteen now and I've been starting to look at job opportunities in Delhi, most of which make use of my nationality; Voice-overs, Foreign Perspective Writing etc. I was looking at Jobs I would be eligible for here in India and began to remember the kinds of jobs I would have in the US as opposed to here.

The usual jobs back in Aurora IL for a kid my age would probably be something like sweeping the movie theater or working at a grocery store, but here, simply because I am fluent in English and a foreigner I am considered overqualified for any of those jobs. You will never, ever find a 'Mike Robins' sweeping the theaters at someplace like DT Theaters or working the register at Reliance Fresh. I could have those jobs back home where its considered a part of life, the first-job.

But it dawns on me that this might be a good thing: I will be able to write on my resume that at sixteen I was doing freelance writing for numerous start-ups throughout the Delhi-Gurgaon area as well as Voice-Over experience etc.

I suddenly feel better about my first foray into Job Hunting. I picked the right place at the wrong time, because Job Hunting in the US... enough said.
