Few years/ month back I was in search of job. After
completion of my graduation, I normally used to apply for many companies for
many roles. I haven’t known which sort of jobs will suit me (my interest). Lots
of struggle to get into IT concern. Later on I realized my faults, known my interest
and worked on that. I settled in a job (my favorite). And today I am in one concern working as a
Software Tester and some other roles too. In case of job search same situation is
happening even now among the fresher’s. The problem what I have faced is almost
same when I see some people who apply for the job in my concern. I have interviewed
two kinds of candidates, people applying for testing job and who have no idea
about choosing the job.
Most of the fresher who complete their graduation will gain
the knowledge in some X technologies but haven’t developed their skills. I
believe skills are what the industry expert from the candidate than having just
knowledge alone. So, I suggest a fresher’s (College passed out) to develop
their skills along with the knowledge.
I see some people coming for an interview with no idea about
the position they have applied for. I am the person who believes more on the interest
than the knowledge they have. So, before checking their knowledge, I just look
into their interest. On questioning about their interest, few says that yes I have an interest.But when I
asked about the measurement they have taken for that, they say sorry I didn't
do anything. Few say I got this interest last month before that my interest was
different. So, for those people I just stop going further and give them time to
know/ think about their interest and if they are clear with that I would ask
them to apply again.
When I have interviewed
few people they just come with the blank idea saying that they want to work in
a software job. But don’t know what they are really looking in the software job.
Few thinks that software job is all about coding and testing .They don’t
consider even web designing as a part of it. It is not the responsibility of an
interview to educate about the varieties of jobs in the software company. It is
the responsibility of the candidate. Sometimes it is the responsibility of
her/his staff in college. Teacher must
be much dedicated and should help his/her student in choosing the career when
they are helpless. Sometimes I feel it is the responsibility of the teacher to
create awareness about the happenings in the IT industry.
Here is another case I was speaking with one person who
appeared for an interview after completion of interview process .I made a
formal chat with that person. He is interested in web designing but want to get
into programming because his dad wants him to get into programming. But he is not interested
in that. To those people he/she should convince his/her parents and let them
know their child’s interest. Some parents/student believes that programming is
the top level in the IT job and one could have a fastest growth and best salary
if they are into programming.
Some people learn their engineering subject in just sake of
clearing the semester exams and some will have good knowledge on particular subject’s
.But as far as the industry concerns it is not enough. I don’t blame all the students’ way of
learning their subjects. Some will develop skills along with the knowledge. Kudos
to those people.
Because of demand on job search few do some certification
believing that it would help us in getting a job. There are some institutes who
provide a service just for their business sake and there are some companies who
don’t even consider the course certificate. So be aware of that. Course
certification is like an eye/brain wash it will not always help you in fetching
the job .Unless you realize your interest and develop your skills it is tough
for you to get into the job.
Nowadays the degree certification has become a gate pass for
applying for the job. With the help of such certificate alone without skills there
is no use in having such degree certificate. No matter what the value that
degree certificate holds or the grades you got.
So, learn engineering in such a way that you could develop
the skills along with the knowledge.
Know/Develop your interest work on that. Reach your dream. Make it true
and enjoy your life.
All the Best!!!
