Ans: You can go for a good online certification course in AI. But before going for that learn about AI from net and YOU TUBE videos for 2-3 months. Then successfully complete the course and it's my guarantee that you will get a job. Secondly prepare your most presentable BIO-DATA with the help of a professional. Best of luck. May God Bless You.

Ans: Hi Anuradha,

In the meantime build practical experience by taking elsewhere internships or freelancing opportunities. For example he an consider- intern Shala, LinkedIn and Naukri opportunities.

Looked at completing few certification relevant to his field - for example CompTIA Security+ (Beginner level)/ CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker)/ OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) (Highly valued)

Do networking - meet people / references etc. Join groups on Linkedin and look for opportunities and connect with people

Take up freelancing opportunities to build real time practical experience

Take up softskill trainings- build his skills even on his communication / creating first impression etc.

All of this help him build the gap and importantly enhance his skills and the utilization of his time.

Hope this helps

Thanks
