Question: >Dear Sir/Madam,
I am 32 and I have experience for 6 years in IT industry. I have completed
my MCA degree and also diploma in Networking. But when I apply to any Company
I am not getting any reply from them. What's the reason behind it. I am trying
to shift my interest towards the Networking area coupled with C++ programming
as I am presently a VB programmer. I have experience in JAVA programming.
I need some guidance in presenting my resume and also facing the interview.
Thank you.
Answer: There are many reasons. Many companies are not recruiting.
The requirements may be there but they are over cautious and are very focused
in what they are hiring for. It may just be that your profile may not be
suiting. Further, your resume may not be reflecting your experience properly.
Thirdly, the companies are looking for multi skilled persons.
So you need to expand your technical base. Read our article on writing better
resume. Apply in more companies than what you may be doing just now. Have
patience. In interviews, your computer fundamentals and depth of programming
knowledge coupled with awareness of interlinking with other technologies,
databases etc exhibition of very high level of energy shall help in interviews.
