To be fair
Is the job market "fair;" can Fresher expect to sit at home with employers visiting them to offer lucrative jobs ?

If Fresher doesn't do their own research, paying attention to details, and produce a good resume, and network with contacts, and make sure the resume gets in the hands of people who might offer them a job, is that "unfair" to him/her ?

In my own experience as a programmer (when I worked for "other people") while serendipity did, indeed, bring some fortunate opportunities my way, I worked very hard to put myself "in that way," and keep my eyes on it, and seize the opportunities that "just happened."

Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence ("Arete"), then, is not an act, but a habit.”
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009
