Sharing my life experience and really need career advice

Madhur Mukhi

Hi I have done B.Tech in computer science, passed out in 2011. Throughout my career is 70 % above. I have applied in almost all big MNC's (like infosys, TCS, Accenture, Cognizant and others) through the company's portals but didn't recieve any response for an interview from their end. At last in Jan 2012, i have used my jack card and got entry into IT industry with some relative's reference and there i was the only one fresher working rest all were experienced holders. Nobody was interested in sharing knowledge as all of them were quite professionals. I was working there as a trainee software engineer and was working on .net for company's inhouse project (not on live project). I don't know any thing about .net but anyhow i managed and worked there for 11 months. Unfortunately At last i have to left the job as my destiny even don't want me to stay there for more longer as I was hospitalized due to severe viral attack and it took atleast 1 yr time to recover. Then after 1 yr i realized i must stand up and start searching or rather doing hunting again for the job because at this moment i was very much confused about the line/trade in which i must continue. because there was a 1 yr gap and i have lost the knowledge whatever i gained in .net. then i planned to join an industrial training from any institute on .net. then i took 6 months industrial training from an institute. after 6 months i again started and attended interviews in many different companies but now they were demanding knowledge for advanced products(like WCF,WPF, MVC,Silverlight, MVVC) of .net rather than simple basic knowledge of .net(like C

Why are you targeting big MNC's? To me it seems that you currently lack a confident, firm, grasp of .NET so as "ramya" suggested you should consider targeting smaller companies in order to gain some experience that would make you hireable to bigger ones.

Also if possible I would recommend working on some personal projects to enhance your resume.

But I need to point out that you should really only target a specific .NET technology, don't try to get a proficient knowledge of multiple technologies simultaneously (like doing WCP and WPF and ASP.NET MVC). Each of them are very large areas that require some time in mastering them, so focus on just a single on for now.

Also just in case you are interested you can check out this programmers testing software website. It's a SAAS application for testing out the programmers capabilities, but it also provides some publicly available resources that you could use for interview preparation.

Try in smaller companies eventhough less pay that will boost you all the best I was also in same situation years ago but you can always learn from your mistake

thank you for the concern however i am left with only such below quotes :

All the best dont lose hope
Everything will be fine
God might be thinking something innovative for you.
dont lose hope is the moral of the story.
dont worry
dont take tension

what to do ??????????????????????????????//i am the one really pissed off after doing B.Tech.

Perhaps i did simple BBA/B.com so today i dont need to repent for the money of my parents that i have wasted.

Today some people think Perhaps we can did more hard work to achieve 70 % above throughout career but finding no use after achieving the same.

Pity hearing about your experience my advice would be mvc mvvm and all stuffs or just layers above the basic .net framework which you can excel by doing small projects athome which will help you to crack those questions.

if you wish you try attending small companies initially then mnc.

All the best dont lose hope.
