“Do not get yourself into thinking that a job is too small. The smallest of jobs is important to build a nation.” This was stated by Ngachan Zimik, Regional Director, Staff Selection Commission, Guwahati.  

He was speaking as resource person at a Career Guidance cum Felicitation Programme organised by the Tangkhul Hoho Nagaland at Tangkhul Baptist Church, Diphupar on Saturday.  

Advocating dignity of labour, Zimik urged the community to do away with the mindset of menial jobs being “below our dignity”. “We don’t like to do menial jobs and yet we are giving away so much money to people who do such works,” he noted.  

Zimik stressed on the ‘purpose’ of life and encouraged the students to have ambitions and to choose a career according to their interests. “Think about what you want to become in life and work on it,” he advised. “Work hard and be aware,” he urged, stating it is a competitive world today. “Know your strong points and weaknesses.”  

Zimik made a PowerPoint presentation on SSC jobs that one can avail of and explained the various exams – including the most popular and the ones with most vacancies. He also highlighted career advancement prospects in central government and provided statistics of different regions availing Central Government jobs.  

The other resource person for the day, Joseph Keishing, Commandant, 175 CRPF, Dimapur, advocated discipline to the students. “Plan and build a ladder towards your aim in life. If you have discipline, everything will fall into place,” he advised.

Keishing also gave a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the vacancies available in armed forces and urged the young people to get into the lowest available vacancies saying there will be many opportunities to climb higher “if you are qualified and work hard”.  

During the felicitation programme, the top 3 students in the NBSE HSLC exam from the community were awarded cash prizes and certificates. Rinchuiwon A Shishak with 82.2% was awarded first prize and given Rs 25000. Rinmi Vashum with 78% was second and received Rs. 15000. Ngashanwon Vashum with 77.4% got third and was awarded Rs. 10000.
