WANTED! JOBS FOR SALE BY GOA GOVERNMENT- By P. Cruz, Vasco Da Gama - Goa

Everyone knows that all the government jobs in Goa are sold mostly for the Non-Goans and also to some of the Goans. The price of the job varies in different department and different post. Also some of the transfer is sold in the Government Department at good price depending on the location.

In 1993 I graduated from the college and my aim was to become a Custom officer. I tried to apply for it and like others I wanted to contact anyone who gives me idea of how to join in that department. One day a person I know came to me and started talking with me, this man was well educated and very well known in the government departments his name was Keni. He used to watch me when I was playing football for inter-village, etc and was my fan. He invited me for a beer in a bar and as he was my fan I accepted his invitation. While drinking beer we were chatting and he asked me about my qualification & apart from football what my ambitions. I replied I am just a fresh graduate and wanted to join in the government department and my ambitions are to become custom officer. I also told him that I am looking forward for someone help to give me idea for joining the department. I had a couple of beers some snacks and he used to drink country liquor, he was a good and helpful guy. We were done and he paid the bill while going he informed me that he will find out and let me know what is required to be a Custom officer. I thanked him and went off to my home. After few days he came to me and said he has a solution for me and he wanted to talk to me or my elders in the family. I say speak to me as my father is expired when I was in First Year of my college I will inform to my mother and brother. He informed me he has a source and they will charge you 2-3 lakhs for the job and I will get the job. I say 2-3 lakhs and when I will recover the money as that time the salary was low and informed Mr. Keni I will let you know after talking to my mother. So I thanked him as he has given me the idea to become a slave of Government by paying so much money. He also explained me how I can recover them very fast which was not a good idea as per my reputation and conscience. I did not inform my mother or my brother as I knew we do not have that much since my father expired who was only the bread owner in our house.

The next incident was after 2 year as I got a call from the employment exchange, that also I went directly to the officer in charge and told him that I will burn my employment card and all my degree certificates since I have not received any call for last 3 years. He was terrified as I was a youth and he could see fire in my eyes (this even happens to me now when my blood starts running fast for any injustice) his peon was there when the conversation took place and he was a Goan with specs (I can still figure his face). The officer got scared and politely asked for my employment card also saw my certificates: degree, I played for my Goa university football team twice, plus some computer courses, etc which were supported to my employment card, also I answered UN exam). He said I will do something within 3 months and you will receive a call he noted my employment card number and name. As I was leaving, the peon came to me and put his hand on my shoulder and said “Baba after so much taking pain in studying and getting the degree why you are thinking of burning them, these certificates is your future”. I replied “uncle I am frustrated you know why”. He replied again go home son and take care of your certificate it yours not of government. That’s the reason his figure still come to my mind when I think of that incident. After 2 months I received a call from employment that I have to attend my first interview in the MES (military) in Vasco as a security guard. My friend used to work there on contract basis he told me that he knew the people and can manage that job for me and he will let me know the price as without it I will never get it, he was my childhood friend and still he is now. He also said he tried a lot but could not get a call and I was lucky. Then I informed him what I did in the Employment Exchange office. After 2 days he informed me that he has fixed everything for Rs.80,000 as lot of people are omitted as brokers and already 4 vacancies are left out of 30 since all are full before the interview the guys already paid advance and their amount is one lakh and asked me to act fast. I had to think I could have managed that 80,000 since my brother open a small business and I was also helping him, and some money could have taken a loan from someone. I informed my friend that I have decline the offer for two reasons first for paying to get the job and second I am a qualified and it will be injustice to me and my education for being a guard to those officers, but I will go for an interview. He informed me I am mad, a moron! He was like my elder brother and good friend that’s why he was saved calling me moron.

On that interview day there were 2 session one morning Verbal interview and one afternoon Physical. I went in the morning, waited in a queue for my turn, most of them were outsiders and my name was called after sometime. The interview started, the officer checked my entire certificate’s in my files and asked me, do you want to work as a guard? I said “NO” he said “then why your employment exchange send you a letter”, I say I do not know. He informed me probably I will not get a chance, I replied to him I know that already since the jobs are sold before interview, he was surprised as I was not afraid to speak. He told me to come after lunch for the Physical Examination and Test to which I replied “I will not come and I do not want to guard you or your family and I am not the right man, and I will not get selected since the jobs are already sold”. I went down to the pub and sat there for beer, after a couple I went home and tore my employment card. Then I took a job in Tata Services LTD. Then went abroad for oilfields as Engineer till today and settled down. That’s how every youths sufferings even today so the reason they migrate to Swindon, etc. I started doing surveys during my spare time and found this…
