Popular Post VelivolusDas Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I had lost my father a couple of years before I got my first paycheck (literally a cheque, coz that's how the company paid us every month). Would've loved it to show him my first salary. Gave it to Mom. She gave it back to me and asked me to spend it how I wanted. It wasn't much but some of it went into general house expenses and the rest went towards buying equipment to fix my YLOD'd PS3 (needed a heatgun, Torx screwdriver, thermal paste, etc.). What ended up happening was that I was able to fix my PS3 but it only lasted day. But that joy. The joy of that moment. The moment it started working again. THAT will last me a lifetime. Saved up parts of my next couple of salaries and then went to Sony India to get a replacement PS3 for ₹12.5k (cost of the replacement was 50% of the original price). Still have that replacement PS3, BTW. Sorry for the extra details, but couldn't resist sharing. Those days were fun. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about how you can make your CV stand out from other candidates in the market. mention all the side projects that you did along with your semester projects. Someone else also mentioned, do attach a cover letter summarising your work, and how you think you will be the best candidate for the job. I believe recruiters use some kind of software to filter out CVs. Do make sure that you mention all the key words from job listing in your cover letter. - keep calling recruiters and also, keep following up on regular basis. - approach your college alumni. - get in touch with your seniors, batch mates. References work much faster than going through recruiters. I do not live in India anymore so not sure how much of the process has changed. Does walk-in interviews happen? Try to attend as many as possible, even if it doesn't click it would still give you an experience and will make you more confident for following interviews. Lastly, don't get distressed, never doubt yourself and maintain a hobby to keep you distracted. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Naukri is the best and pretty much the only source you need to look for a job. I actually have to hide my profile if I am not looking for a change! Almost everyone I know does the same too. The only thing to keep in mind is not mention notice period of more than 30 days. Once selected, you can easily negotiate with hr because not many people reach the end of selection process. If mentioned 60/90, the profile is gonna get filtered from the recruiters. I don't even know how LinkedIn works, just have my profile setup and don't even know where is cv upload option and if Naukri profile is good.

The only problem with connecting with people on LinkedIn is that almost everyone is distributing referrals by the lot because of that sweet bonus. Hard to find someone who hasn't already referred someone. The whole point of referrals is going down the drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost bought it as well but my company's policy restricts Logitech's software and even their wireless mice on laptops.

My first salary was blown to smithereens the day I got it because I ended up having to pay cover charge for a large group of office friends at a club in Cyberhub (got the money back, but my account had money for all of 2 hours before it was empty that day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
