Interview
We are conducting this assignment on interviewing a person from the service sector. We approached this topic by focusing on their overall portfolio and the reasons behind their particular field of interest. All the questions and details provided here were obtained with their permission, consent, and respect for their privacy.
In today’s interview, we spoke to Manjunath, working in Jyoti Nivas College as a Security personnel.
Family plays a very important role in everyone’s life. Can you tell us a little about your family?
I live in Baiyappanahalli with my family of four, which includes my wife, a teacher in Ramamurthy Sevanagar, my two children, the elder child is in 9th grade, and the younger is in the 7th grade.
How many years have you been working as a security personnel?
I have been working in this field for 17 years, and for one year I have been at JNC.
How do you feel working here at JNC? How is your relationship with the students here?
Working here gives me the feeling of working in a sacred place. I associate the sisters with God and respect them the same way. I feel that working here keeps me closer to my children, as I consider the students studying here as my children and protect them.
What were you doing before JNC? Could you please tell us
Before coming to JNC, I was a construction worker and later worked in Manyatha as a Security guard.
How did you find the job vacancy here?
My colleague recommended me to JNC, telling me that I have long hours and I will build a strong network with the people I am working with. They are friendly and work together as a team, and some even live in the same neighbourhood as me.
6. How is your economic condition today, financial situation, and how satisfied are you with it?
After all the deductions like ESIP, I get 22 thousand monthly in my hands. In today's economy, when all the prices are increasing. We are not able to satisfy our needs with the income I get for the 12-hour shift.
Conclusion
He is the first person you see when you enter the campus. He works for 12 hours and travels a distance of nearly 50 kilometres a day, considering both to and from. In today’s economy, where the price of everything is increasing, people working in service sectors that belong to middle or lower-middle-class families have it tough. They come to these jobs for stability and economic growth, yet their growth is less compared to others in different fields with the same years of experience. They are somewhat subjected to less pay for long hours, the gap between someone who just started and someone who has a of working experience of 10 years is not that big. We have a society that needs to reconsider what we pay and how much we pay them. Like this, so many people work in this sector, like sweepers, BBMP workers, cleaners, security guards, and garbage disposal personnel. They travel long distances to reach their workplace, and some go around the whole city to do their jobs. We need to rethink every time we look at them; we need to find ways to we can make their days better. As a community, we have to grow together; they also deserve stability and growth, and they also should get paid equal to their experience. They are equally important to society as any other profession or sector.
