He struggled to find work despite seven years of study behind him – five years undergrad in Mumbai and then another two of post-grad at Melbourne — which cost him $88,000.“I didn’t get rejections, I just didn’t get any response … because covid hit so hard,” he said.
One employer interviewed him and called up his referees, but then he got radio silence. Three months later, he received an official rejection.Mr Jhurani realised applying to jobs “traditionally” wasn’t working for him and he thought to himself “this is the time to advertise myself in a different way”.
He created the sign and decided to stand at a busy place to “maximise” the number of people who saw him. He alternated standing outside Southern Cross and Flinders Street train stations at peak hour, from 8am to 9.15am.An example of Kush’s 3D designs.After four weeks of doing this in April, an engineer from Metro Trains Melbourne, Scott Poll, noticed Mr Jhurani.“I remember walking past him with a big smile,” Mr Poll told news.com.au. “He had a lot more courage than I would have at that age.”“By the time I got in the office I’d thought of a role for him,” the engineering manager, 40, recalled.
“I’ve sort of copped it from colleagues, never really heard of picking someone up off the street,” he laughed.
