Freshers Space

Well as everyone is aware of the current economy and IT recession, freshers are under the impression that there won't be any fresher openings for next few months or so. However, this is totally wrong, because if you try to understand the concept behind the cost-cutting strategies being adopted by various IT companies, the main idea behind everything is to minimize expenses.

But this doesn't mean "NOT HIRING FRESHER GRADUATES". As a matter of fact, companies are more than happy to hire fresh graduates at low pay-outs and kick-out the money-eating professionals, and the result is not to be hidden from anyone; 10000000s of LAY OFFs.

Hell yeah, if you are a fresher, you are a lot safer than someone who is drawing a 6-digit salary! So it's just the right time to put-in best of your efforts, and secure a good IT job as a fresher!

So strive hard, JUST DO IT!

Best of luck :)

Here's some exciting news for all the freshers! I will be launching my own company within no time, which would deal in PHP/MySQL & Java Project as well as SEO & content developments, and provide outsourcing services to the corporate giants initially.

So i would be looking for some excellent writers, as well as programmers.

If you damn good in PHP, JAVA or C++ send me your CVs or post them on www.c-cplusplus.com or www.freshersarea.com

Learn as much PHP, Java & C++ as you can by March, because i will be starting recruitment process by next month!

Stay connected!

Also don't hesitate to contact me if you are looking for part time online jobs.

Here are the most frequently asked questions to a fresh graduate appearing for an interview to secure IT job in a good company-

So here's what you might have to face & possibly what you should say if you are asked the same!

*Mention your strong areas: Don't say C or C++ for heavens sake!

Even having worked for a Microsoft project i can't claim that i really know C/C++ programming, so don't you dare commit the mistake of saying so. Try to mention your favorite technical topic. Ex: Logic Design or DSP - if you belong to ECE/EEE background

**Tell me about your final year project: Don't describe everything about your project!

Nobody wants to hear everything, just tell him what was it basically, and what did you really do, pertaining to programming point of view!

***Rate your C/C++ knowledge at a scale of 1-10: Don't say 9 or 2!!

Rate yourself honestly from 4-8! Never say 2 3 or 9! if you rate yourself too low, interviewer will never be interested to test your knowledge & rating yourself 9 is as good as kissing bye to this opportunity (unless you are someone like Abdul kalam or Newton)

Keep one thing very clear in mind - Don't try to play around with the interviewer, but try to drag him into a discussion, which relates to your strong point!

Tell him what you can do, and prove your worth. If you succeed in even proving that you can get the job done, you are IN!!

If you are a fresh graduate, looking out for IT job, but disappointed with yourself, not being able to get one, then don't worry you are NOT alone!

Hold on, don't think that this is some rubbish article, full of pessimistic thoughts, telling you not to be sad because 1000000000 others are jobless, but rather i wish to share some important things that you must keep in mind at this point of time.

Before i say something, let me tell you that i have been through all this, and i know how it feels when you fail to get a job!

Despite being selected for a couple of companies, i did not get a call for job after finishing my graduation, and i had a rough time, desparately trying to clear interviews.

This is when i realized that my knowledge was just enough to clear a campus interview, but when things came down to applying for jobs, i was not good enough.

Read my articles on making CV's and other tips for freshers, to make sure that you build a good CV.

After this be ready to apply at all possible job websites like www.freshersarea.com & read programming interview questions especially related to C/C++/Java.

Refer to sites like www.c-cplusplus.com & improve your knowledge, soon you would realize that in a month's time your condition may drastically improve.

Having done that you would discover that you will be able to get a good IT job within 2-3months just like me!

However, i was not satisfied with an IT job, and decided to do freelance programming & over time i gained experience & i have just launched my own Pvt Inc. Ltd!

So don't be disappointed, keep trying, don't waste time with stupid crash courses!!
