Even after 10 years, Saddam Hussein unable to find a job

Saddam Hussein died a decade ago but his name is still causing trouble for one person.

A marine engineer from Jamshedpur in Jharkhand have been refused job some 40-odd times.

Two years after passing out as a marine engineer from Tamil Nadu's Noorul Islam University, Saddam Hussein failed to get a job because of his name which was similar to the name of the former Iraqi leader who was executed in 2006.

After getting rejected 40-odd times, Sadam further enquired with the HR Department of the companies and some of them told that his name was the problem.

People are scared to hire me,' Saddam told.

He has now applied for a change of name and waiting on a new passport, driving licence and other ID so he can prove is background to prospective employers.
