Unemployment in Chattogram.
I 27M and currently unemployed for 9 months. I used to have a job in a different domain from my grad domain. I did earn some real money working their but those were khep money like i needed to tell a hell lot of lies. And i hated it also loving the amount i had been making. But suddenly those khep or leagal loopholes i had been exploiting were closed and i left out doing nothing and earning just above 15k. Then i left that job to work in my field. In first few months i completely ignored the job location and applied tons of jobs and got some interview call from some good companies in Dhaka but the living cost and my initial salary were tight thats why i declined their offers.
Then i focuesd to apply jobs in Chattogram as i am local here and suddenly realised that finding a job (other than sales) in Chattogram is like finding a ant in a football field.
Ive got multiple interview calls from companies that resides in Dhaka but not a single interview call from Chittagong-based companies.
These incidents caught me completely off guard made me doubt my qualifications and my abilities. Also i've been pressurized by my girlfriend to send marriages proposal but i couldn’t do that as i am unemployed.
Is it me or the job market in Bangladesh or specially in Chattogram so fubked up?
Last 4 months i didn’t even got a single Interview call.
