Resigned & Served NP, its Been a week , no job yet
Hi all, I did resigned & Served NP at TCS. where i have 3.5 YOE as Full stack Engineer(Nodejs, React, typescript, Express, Postgres). I've been actively applying to opportunities every day, but unfortunately haven’t received any responses so far. I’m reaching out to kindly ask if anyone could support me with referrals or leads. Any help or guidance would mean a lot during this phase.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑Hi @Yashwanth14 , I'm not sure how and where you are applying since u haven't mentioned.
But here's my suggestion, build a good resume, exaggerate a bit on it, no worries. Take Naukri premium combo (less than 5k) - one time investment.
Upload your resume. Start applying to jobs u like. In my case i got calls from HRs from Naukri after i uploaded my resume.
I'm sure a good candidate looking to switch must have achieved some certifications during your notice period and upskilled, so hoping u have done that as well.
Highlight the best certificate you got in resume like Machine learning professional with Data bricks - example.
Brush up on fundamentals, u will start cracking first round of interviews and then fail second round. But it's a start.
U will start noticing all second round interviews focus on a bit detailed scenerios and problem statements focus on them.
And in 1 month u will start going to hR rounds for 2-3 companies, think well, do research about them, Don't blindly accept whatever u get first based on salary. Because nowadays cities has huge impact of job.
Example - 20 LPA in Hyderabad > 32 LPA in Bangalore. (It's a fact)
Anyway, final suggestion - u won't get calls if u don't highlight your work properly, so
step 1: use grammarly/Naukri resume builder and make those work highlight professionally.
Step 2: act like u r full of confidence , beliebe it and I will actually be confident
Step 3: In interview sit back. (Don't leam forward) And answer calmly like you don't really care, pretend like it's a normal day to day like activity cuz interviewers who seems fear/anxiety on candidate understands that they won't survive stress in their company
Step 4: get an offer letter, hold ur horses, do research, and join company
Step 5: learn, in 8-12 months switch again.
Thanks bro for all suggestions and guidance. Actually Deloitte had scheduled an interview day before yesterday but interviewer had technical difficulties so he/she did join . And this was the second time they have rescheduled. But don't know multiple thoughts were running my mind . Not getting shortlisted, no interview , no responses. Any way i will try what all u said. Below is my resume please check and review.

Good thing you uploaded your resume bro. The good thing in resume: formatting and simple structure. Things to improve:
- In almost 4-5 years you have put very less things in experience. You need to add some fake but interesting content. Example: take a good project which u already have and add for the fortune 500 media company, so and so.. etc
- Achievements - You need to mention mmm-Yyyy or else no one knows when. It can be in 2018 when u were in btech or even school. So Mention the momth-year
- You have a great master's degree, so highlight that bro. Mention a good tagline line achieved gpa 4.0 and led Spirals club in Princeton college etc. - similar thing. It should show y u stand out of the crowd.
- Try to reduce the font size for content and increase for headers - if you see closely u will find your font is same size u just applied bold.
- Finally upload your resume to a resume builder site like freeresumebuilder and u will get ats score there. Make sure it's atleast 75. If more than even better but bottomline is 75.
Keep brushing up the skills, at the last 30days of your notice you ll get more interview calls
