Jagannath,
Recession is also a kind of law of nature, where
nature strikes back with all her power and vigor similar to flood,
draught, earthquake, massive land slide and Tsunami. All we need to
learn is first how to survive and then help people get out of this.
In recent times Recession has snatched jobs from more than 5 crores
of professionals from across all wings and verticals of Industries
and services.
Particularly talking about our Oriya professionals across IT
industries, the situation is quite disappointing and alarming.
Almost all the fresher passed since last 3 years are still waiting
for a mere call, many professionals have got laid off and are
looking for a job opportunity, Those who are still in job ( Thanks
GOD )are sitting over a pile of cards with a ray of hope above. Eyes
desperately look for an idea that can fetch a job call.
Loans liabilities and Credit bills are pilling beyond vision and
source of income is vanishing upfront. Back at state even IT
professionals are losing credibility of being the most wanted groom
for matrimonial engagements. To counter such situation and help
maintain a stable and assured future for all our brothers and
sisters, we have framed a six step approach
Try this plan honestly, you must land up
with an offer :
1. Resume Preparation :
Make your resume the most impressive and assertive. First find out
what desired skills and knowledge sets are required for the job that
you are looking for.
Query the best known and market leader job site for the job
position you are looking for.
Gather Desired and optional sets of profile requirements from all
of them. Now your list has the higher end set of all the technical
skills, domain knowledge, non technical skills and optional stuffs
required from your job market.
Now you put all these in your resume in the best possible format
and descent lucrative precise presentation.
Once done get the resume reviewed by your friends, seniors and
experienced well wishers. Thus now you got the benchmark of the
market. You can now very well find the gap between whats expected
out of you and where you are. This is your target.
2. Learn and self nourish with all the gaps
identified.
All identified areas in the previous step must be taken care of
very carefully. Collect your materials, guides, related learning
stuffs from all possible resources and have a thorough study of the
same.
You need to have End to end knowledge on your skill area. For
example If you are into testing, learn and gain knowledge
proficiency on the complete end to end of testing ( starting with
how to do test scoping, planning, strategizing, preparation of
testware, defect management, automation, performance, usability and
accessibility, matrices, delivery, implementation and post
installation test scopes). Ensure that from your skill area, if
anyone asks you any question you should never say I dont know.
Now on note that any company willing to cost cutting will
definitely look for a candidate worth of 5 resources, so that they
can save four times salary and still get the work done.
Do rigorous practice of expressing your knowledge and
understanding into your speech. This is a common problem among most
of the people. They may be knowing a lot, but unable to deliver the
same in their words and voice. This is a very important aspect.
Learn how to be fluent and with professional ascent while on
interview desk. Get your knowledge base peer reviewed by experienced
friends and seniors.
3. Interview preparation :
To learn is just the precondition, but all it matters is how best
you are at the battle grounds. The more you sweat in peace, the less
you bleed in war. Hence you need to take outmost care to ensure that
you tune in your presentation skills. The best of personality,
fluency and ascent in speaking with free from localization influence
and blabbering and flittering effects is something that impresses
any interviewer. Half battle won.
Design a wall chart of the important dates and information that is
frequently asked across all interviews. Education Dates, Exp. And
tenure across all previous companies, Skill set and proficiency
levels, Passport number, expiry date, Pan number and so, project
names worked upon and a bit about your family.
The most critical & strategic question that starts your show is
Tell something about yourself. Make a very precise answer for this
that needs to be having all the gem points of you.
Always Keep a note copy with you. Try noting down after the
interviews or even consultant calls, the things what they want, whom
to meet, venue, contact details, what all to carry, whom to follow
up and even whats next.
4. Apply in portals and opportunity desks.
Now its time to come out of the bunker. Once you are self assured
that whats there required in the market, you have that in you, go
ahead with web signatures.
Upload you resume to top ten job sites in India and also the most
worthy job sites of top twenty economically rich countries of the
world. You can get the list of these job sites at
Nilachakra.
Ensure the information you updated in all the sites are same.
Better to Save the preview file of the first site locally and
referring it replicate the same information in other sites.
5. Send resume thru Email ids
Arrange a collection of Email Ids of HRs and Consultants from
across the length and breadth of the country.
Make a list of all the contact details of your friends, seniors,
relatives and other people in our society who are working in IT
industries.
Collect a list of email Ids from all news media, papers and other
job advertising sources. Collect their web site addresses too.
Design a precise but impressive mail subject header and text body.
Send your resumes along with this to those IDs collected.
Create your own list of web site addresses of major software
companies across the world. Upload your resumes to all the web sites
of these companies.
6. Learn the common basic things that you
need during job tenure
Sixth and most important part of this plan is earning the
following things ;
Microsoft Outlook or Lotus notes, how to operate
Folder sharing and accessing a shared folder over network.
IP address and its significance in a network environment.
How to configure, manage and run thru Tele conferencing / Video
Conferencing.

and few other common commands.
