My offer letter was revoked and I have been finding it hard to find a job since July. I gave few interviews and in final rounds was not selected(I guess need to upskill and be better) . More then that most people want me to work for less pay by saying "You don't have experience"(which is not even true, I did 2 internships, little bit of open source contribution).
Anyways, could you please give some practical tips on how to get a good job besides upskilling. Like how do I land more interviews? Etc?
P. S Referrals also don't seem to work. Got referral for few good companies but recruiters never reached out.
I believe my resume is good enough. I might not be someone who has a specialized talent but still I thought having two internships(both big public companies) would really help.
Tips please. Thanks.
I’m sorry you have to go through this, there are lot of things happening in tech world/IT ( Automations, recessions) even that might be a possibility., but anyway, it looks like you did try so many things, you mentioned Internship, open source, referrals, good resume. These things should’ve helped landing a job, ok let’s try few more things shall we. Start working on personal projects, not the one we did for college project, but a real world one, which has to be architected, developed, test, and deployed on cloud and hosted so that anyone can view the project. Building a college project is sure requires certain level of dedication but making it available for users online takes expertise. So build few projects, host them, write blogs about how you built them, post the same but shorter version on LinkedIn, lets users and recruiters see that you can actually BUILD something. Let’s say you want to be frontend developer, do some UIUX projects and make it beautiful and host them. Also if you’re confused about how to do that: go to YouTube -> search for end to end projects -> follow the same exact steps and complete that project shown-> watch videos on how to host the project and host it -> do this cycle for 2-3 more projects then you’ll get familiarised with the whole architecture and deployment, then apply the same for your own personal idea. Let’s try this for next 2 weeks.
Thankyou so much for this🙏 I already have made deployed projects but I wouldn't say they are very good. So ig will work on that. Something useful. Thanks for the advice.
What am I doing apart in my application process:
Asking for referrals on LinkedIn (99% dont even open the message)
Active on Naukri, Instahyre and Linkedin.
Asking my friends who work at big tech for referrals
