Date: 21-Mar-2002
Question: I Johnson.Y completed my MCA course from Osmania Univesity presently I am waiting for my certificates. My percentage in MCA is 78.66%(Distinction). Please tell me how can I get job as there is no Ads in paper. How should I approach the companies. Can you guide me to get the job. I am also interested to do further studies in India only. If so what is the best option like (Ph.d, M.Tech...) Kindly tell me the option which suits to me and also the universities which offer that courses.
Answer: This period is most testing, stressing and trying. It can do a lot harm if you do not plan well.

Work out a strategy, a back up and a further back up strategy.

Studying is a good option right now.

Try to do some software projects privately, but let them be challenging and not run of the mill ones. Later you can add this to your experience. Job market is not that bad for experienced people. Even if some company gives you job at no stipend, pick it up.

Try your hand at teaching at some IT institute. If you have computer at home take some classes for neighbors. This economy set back will ride over and jobs will be plenty.

Keep surfing over the net. May be you hit gold some where.

Have patience for three to six months, but work all these months right through.
