Spoken English class students interview in Jaipur

To kick off the week, four students of the Bagar Employment Institute’s Spoken English class, interviewed at the Jaipur branch of one of India’s top retail stores. They hope to get jobs to earn, continue to build their English skills and to get experience before they pursue their MA or MBA.

As India’s middle class has grown, its retail sector has earned a sizable position in the market in terms of revenue generated and people employed. After agriculture, retail employs the most people in India. That said, the retail industry seems an excellent point from which to build one’s career, whether it be in the retail sector itself or only as a means to improve one’s English or gain corporate experience.

By the end of the week, we’ll find out whether any of the students get placed. Out of 10 who were shortlisted for the customer care executive positions, four were those from BEI’s Spoken English class. It is hoped that several of them get placed at this company so that they may find an apartment together and so that the transition to city life is less alarming. Let’s hope for the best!
