Fresh Mechanical Engineer Turned Software Developer: What Government Opportunities Await?

Ans: Ranjan, you have mentioned you started preparing for Govt. Jobs. But NOT mentioned, you have been targeting which Competitive Exams & have you appeared in any Competitive Exams during the last 2 years? How was your performance? Awaiting any results? Based on your preparation and / or the results you got (even if you could not get through), you can still try Govt. Jobs but you should manage your time properly and change your preparation strategies. If you feel, you still can try for Govt. Jobs, you can continue with that. Keeping in view your age factor, try for Govt. Job for an year by applying to some Competitive Exams. Have a Plan B also as a back-up. All The BEST for your Future, Rajan.

Ans: Hi
After completing Civil Engg, why you start computer coding is unable to understand. Those who aim for a job, start the preparation from 1st year itself. But you are too late. With the preparation of Govt Job Examinations, it would be better for you to join any company or firm which employs civil engineers for their projects. Your earning and learning will go simultaneously.
Don't sit at home only for the preparation of Govt job.
Discard the idea of learning coding etc related to computers. Rather learn some readymade software use from a civil engineering point of view. Some of them are Auto-CAD, Prima-Vera, STADD-pro, 3D-Max and many more.

You can register your name with Govt PWD Dept to work as a contractor also,

Ans: Hi Gaurav,

I understand your feelings,emotions and disappointment.
It's not you alone but so many youth falling for the enticement of cushy govt. job's which actually have so many applicants, too few opportunities. Finally left in the middle of no where!

Every year more graduates are churned out than Bhelpuris ...so now what , look into your degree speciality, what's your ability and aptitude.

The advice is to get a good not more than 2 page resume and send your resume to potential job opportunities that appeal to you!

Ans: Hello
The first thing you can do is to register yourself with local AWPO office. Employers do approach them regularly for skilled veterans. Yon can also liaise with their staff (AWPO) with regard to your specific job search.
Also keep looking out in Employment News paper for such notifications.
Best of Luck!

Ans: You have different options
1. Do short term courses along with your current job which is relevant to industry requirement and look for jobs and projects in that area.
2. Do MBA in IT. Prepare for MBA entrance along with your job.
3. Write Govt exams to get into a government job related to IT.
The syllabus for MBA entrance and Govt jobs is similar so you can do both.
