Dear Professional Friend,
Each and every stage of learning/education we appear in exams and pass them for getting eligible and growth in career. As we grow college exam reduces and made us concentrate on specific areas. We become specialize in a particular subject area slowly. The motive behind this arrangement is to make a concrete, advanced problem solving, skillful, professional, expert, so on.
I have been in contact of many aspirants (graduate appearing in different State and Central Govt. dept. jobs. As we have experienced that a state govt. vacancies take much time to complete than an academic organization vacancy. After one or two year’s preparation they take admission in Library and Information (any professional course for job guarantee etc.). After completing Library Course they try to get job in Libraries also along with the same exams. After complete a professional course they caught in to two problems (earlier they use to have only when they use to write only competitive exams).
I have felt that when we try for two different exams, we need to share our energy, time, mind, money etc. The situation becomes weaker, uncontrolled and performance goes down.
I don’t know how much time and concentration for a competitive exam is required and to be given for success. But, a good job in Library domain is requires to have good understanding on basics; definitions, fundamental procedures, how to do? Scope of subject, current development and growth taking place in profession, advance knowledge of IT for effective works, professional communication, apart it other issue associated with publication and protection etc.
There might be few good, extra ordinary student, who can do all these exercise together but for a average, trying for the benefits of both the sides is really very complicated and difficult.
I/we have been advising them to fix a target first, leave other businesses then start preparation. If you will be trying for various exams you will be losing your attempts, age etc.
This post is for all of them, who are following similar practices, advised to choose only either competitive exams or Library exam, the journey of success would be shorter.
Thank You.
