Stock Jobs and Recruitment — JOB-SEEKERS BEWARE OF UNSCRUPULOUS RECRUITMENT AGENTS: Indian Missions in the UAE have recently raised an alarm over a sudden spurt in incidents where job-seekers from India have been duped by unscrupulous recruitment agents. A secretary with India’s Ministry of External Affairs has raised concerns about “unscrupulous agents exploiting Indian citizens and putting them at risk abroad”. It is incumbent upon all those who look for overseas employment opportunities to check the credentials of recruitment agents before making any financial or other commitments to them. Leaving near and dear ones behind and setting sail for some unknown land can itself be a traumatising experience for many. Over and above that, to be a victim of fraudulence should be the last thing one should be worrying about. It is time all stakeholders come together to prevent the hapless from being cheated of their money and mental peace. [COMMENT BY: Sanjib Kumar Das, Assistant Editor] Image Credit: Shutterstock

OPN 210114 EDIT — INTERESTING FEW WEEKS OF US POLITICS AHEAD: US President Donald Trump has been impeached for the second time in his four-year term. He is still in office and will continue to be president till his term expires on January 20. The trial will continue after Joe Biden takes over as the next president, but by then Trump would have left the White House. The focus now turns to the Senate to see if two-thirds of its members will vote to convict Trump. But the focus will also be on whether Trump will be barred from politics. We are in uncharted territory here, but that is what makes the next few weeks interesting. Bridging the deep political divide and healing the nation will take more time.
