Look in the newspaper, online, ask friends, and pray. The IT field isn't so sweet right now. 4-5 years ago when the field was hiring so fast no one could stop it and now I have friends with degrees and 5-6 years experience taking jobs in other fields or working for $15,000 less than they made before. Good Luck to you.

Don't submit a Resume; Make an extensive and in depth one for you to refer to, Most resumes are thrown in the trash as they contain information that is ilegal for the company to have and are thus an endangerment ot the company you've submitted it to.
Query the company that you desire to be considered by for employment and ask for a copy of their Employment submission Data form or what data they require to be submitted prior to the initial interveiw for employment. This can be disheartening because you usually have to work your way up the ladder to get a response to the question you ask and not to their imaginations.
Do enough research about the Companies you are scouting to have a general Idea as to that Company and don't be afraider than you think needed to take your notes to the interveiw and openly refer to them; definatly take a copy of the resume with you to fill out paperwork with and also to derive a BIO from for that company per that companies rules.

Hmmm, you did ask if it was a good long term field. Technology is a great long term field as technology isn't going away, and QA will always be necessary. Of course any field is tough to get into now because of the economy.

Hi!

Well if you are an Computer Science graduate it is easier for you to start as a fresher in Software Development. Getting in QA always requires an hand on experience in testing S/W , Buisnesss applications. Also it depends what you are particulalry interested in. My personal opinion is that you will enjoy programming better than testing since I have tried both. Both are challanging though. Easiet way to get a job is to get in touch with the consultants since there are some product companies which require people for manual testing and stuff.
Since you too are from India, I an refer some.
