were done
• Interview Questions:
• What is the biggest difficulty in your job/work search?

• Why do you search job?
• Why do you not start a business there is no job?
3. • Few jobs in the market
• Too much competition
• Pressure of earning
livelihood
• Risk in business
• No capital for
business
• No training for
entrepreneurship
• A lack of central
database for job
seekers

interests
• Filled online CV at every
company’s online
database
• Very few investors
• Can there be other
ways instead of
internet for job
search?

through several
resumes for a single
seat

with flexible filtration

to relevant CVs is
required
