Job On The Spot

It's pretty busy here in Jaipur at 302020. Most days at Job On The Spot, we're just sitting around desks talking to people who walk in looking for work. We’ve been at this for a while now. It’s not always easy because sometimes there aren't enough jobs to go around, but we try to keep track of who is hiring nearby. The office isn't anything fancy, just a regular place where we keep our files and make phone calls. People come in from all over Rajasthan. We spend a lot of time on the computer checking listings. Sometimes the internet is slow and that's frustrating. We just want to get people into jobs so they can pay their bills. It’s mostly about connecting a person who needs a worker with a person who needs a paycheck. We don't have a big fancy lobby or anything like that. Just some chairs and a lot of paperwork. Some days are louder than others when the phone won't stop ringing. We take notes on scraps of paper and try to remember who called back. It’s just how things work here. Most of the time, we’re just focusing on the next person who walks through the door. Jaipur is a big city and there’s always something going on, so we stay on our toes. It's a lot of talking and listening to what people have done for work before. That's really all there is to it. We keep our coffee mugs on the desk and just keep going.
