Hi
I am post graduate from non-computer science, but completed two diplomas and then workd with one reputed institute as faculty,after that i got selected in co., after joing that co. I realize that this co. is not at all intersted in software development. So I left that co.
With mere 9 months exp. with little hands on exp. in hand I am searching for jobs.
I am doing very well in the interview and/or test but even though I am not getting call/offer letter from any of these co. Almost six co. kept me in waiting stage. I want to get join in any of these organisation as soon as possible, but...... Now I realising that no co. will call me at least in comming 2 months.
As a HR or expericenced person can any body tell me what are the possible reasons behind this delay and if possible suggestion.
OR inspite of being Science Student do i rest all the things to GOD?

Don't worry about your degree too much. Good companies are flexible and seek talent from many areas. One of the best programmers I know worked in a Fortune 100 company and was a graduate of Art school. I studied political science.

Don't worry toomuch about finding the right job right away. I was lured out of a good job to another company only to discover after a year that I just couldn't spend the rest of my career there. It happens to the best of us. At a certain point you have to risk to get reward, but you won't always get that reward.

As for delays, its a mugs game. I've been in similar positions and sometimes its a new position where things haven't quite jelled yet. Some people do procrastinate. Others delay making unhappy decisions - such as choosing nto to hire anyone because things have changed. The important thing is not to take it personally and keep your attitude positive. I figure that if I learn from every interview I increase my chances every time around.

As for your interviews, here is a suggestion. Call up one of the interviewers were you didn't get hired and ask for some advice on how you can improve your interviewing skills.

Scoring well on tests and having the right skills is important, but some of the soft skills are also important in an interview. I look for quiet confidence, an interest in the position, a demonstrated knowledge of the company where they are applying to work. Personality is important. I know it sounds trite but someone who is less skilled but more team oriented is a better hire to me than someone who is highly skilled and anti-social. If I sense intelligence and a good attitude I think technical skills can be learned, but some of the people skills are more difficult toteach.

Hope this helps. Above all, stay positive, keep looking and keep your chin up.
James
