Hi I am an engineering graduate passout of 2018 batch I still didn't find any job related to my education later I got married and a kid now my resume is not even considered as I have 0 experience is there any chances for me to get a job ?

Ans: Hi Kanchan,

You definitely have opportunities. However it will be harder compared to the other engineers with your experience. One reason you might be finding it difficult, is because the skilled labour industry is evolving rapidly. Many things you would have learned in 2018 might not be in use today. Not to add that the college curriculum has been outdated for years.

You can solve for this by identifying the field in which you wish to work. Going through upskilling programs in the desired field. Many such programs also come with job assistance and help you get your career started.

I am a BA graduate, unemployed since 2022. After completing my education, I applied to several jobs but no one wanted to hire a fresher. What can I do to get a job? Please suggest some tips
Ans: It's definitely understandable to feel discouraged after facing challenges in securing a job after graduation. However, there are some steps you can take to improve your chances:

1. Reassess your job search:

• Target the right jobs: Are you applying for roles aligned with your BA degree and interests? Research suitable entry-level positions in your field or consider broader titles like "assistant" or "associate" related to your skills.
• Refine your resume and cover letter: Tailor them to each specific job, highlighting relevant skills and experiences, even if they're not directly work-related (volunteer work, projects, etc.). Quantify your achievements whenever possible.
• Expand your job search: Utilize online job boards, company websites, professional networks (LinkedIn), and recruitment agencies. Attend job fairs and networking events to connect with potential employers directly.

2. Enhance your skills and experience:

• Consider short-term courses or certifications: Gain relevant skills through online or offline courses in areas like digital marketing, data analysis, communication, or project management. These can enhance your resume and make you more competitive.
• Volunteer or freelance: Gain practical experience through volunteer work or freelance projects related to your desired field. This shows initiative and demonstrates relevant skills to potential employers.
• Develop soft skills: Build communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management skills through workshops, online resources, or even taking on leadership roles in volunteer work.

3. Network and seek guidance:

• Connect with professionals in your field: Attend industry events, join online communities, and reach out to people working in your desired roles. Informational interviews can provide valuable insights and potential leads.
• Seek career counseling: Talk to a career counselor or advisor at your university or community center. They can help you identify your strengths, explore career options, and refine your job search strategy.

Additional tips:

• Stay positive and motivated: Job searching can be frustrating, but don't give up. Stay focused on your goals and celebrate small wins.
• Practice your interview skills: Research common interview questions and practice your responses beforehand. Be confident, articulate your skills clearly, and express your enthusiasm for the role.
• Keep learning and developing: Continuous learning demonstrates your commitment to growth and adaptability. Consider pursuing further education or professional development opportunities in the future.

Remember, finding a job can take time and effort. By tailoring your approach, developing your skills, and using various resources, you can improve your chances of securing a role that aligns with your goals and qualifications. Good luck!

It's been a year since I completed my engineering in mechanical engineering. I am currently unemployed. I keep sending resume through LinkedIn, indeed, monster. I only get rejection replies. I have lost confidence in everything. What i specialised and has more interest is mechanical design and simulation, but majority companies prefer experienced candidates. For my other plans to work out i initially needed a job for money as well as for experience. It's very depressing and i am kind of letting go my dreams. I feel I am very incapable of even find a job after a course. What difference do I make with those who took a year off to clear remaining arrears.
Ans: It's understandable to feel frustrated and discouraged when facing challenges in your job search, especially when you're passionate about a specific field like mechanical design and simulation. However, it's essential to remember that setbacks are a natural part of the job search process, and they don't define your worth or capabilities. While gaining work experience may seem challenging at the moment, you can focus on enhancing your skills and knowledge in mechanical design and simulation. Consider enrolling in online courses, workshops, or certification programs related to CAD software, finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), or other relevant areas. Reach out to professionals working in mechanical design and simulation roles through LinkedIn or industry events. Request informational interviews to learn about their career paths, experiences, and insights into the industry. Building relationships with professionals in your field can lead to job opportunities, mentorship, and valuable advice for your career. Look for internships, co-op programs, or entry-level positions that offer opportunities to gain hands-on experience in mechanical design and simulation. While these roles may not always be advertised, reaching out to companies directly or through your network can help you uncover hidden opportunities and demonstrate your enthusiasm and commitment to the field.

Remember that finding a job after completing your engineering degree is a process that takes time and persistence. Stay committed to your aspirations, continue investing in your skills and knowledge, and remain open to new opportunities that come your way. With determination and perseverance, you can overcome obstacles and find success in your chosen field.

Sir i am graduated in 2020 batch of b.tech in ELECTRICAL and Electronics Engineering, due to covid didn't got job and started government job preparation. Is there any chance and somehow any way to getting job in it or core sector?
Ans: Brajesh,

As over 4-years have passed and you have been preparing for Government jobs, here are 2-solutions for you as of now:

1) SOLUTION-1: Continue preparing for Government Jobs but you have to change the strategies in preparing for Govt. Jobs’ Competitive Exams.
2) SOLUTION-2: As you completed your Graduation in 2020 and have not got a job till now, it is suggested to join some Software Certification Courses offline (or any other domain you are interested in) with any reputed Institute that provides a JOB GUARANTEE after you complete your course. However, please note, initially you won’t get much salary, but gradually after gaining practical experience & by upgrading your skills, you will get good job with a decent salary package.
3) Have a Professional LinkedIn Profile and connect with Professionals. DON’T ask for jobs after you get connected with them. If your profile matches with their JD, they will be in touch with you.
4) Put Job Alerts on LinkedIn for the domains, you are interested in. Know the job market expectations and upgrade your skills accordingly.

Hope the above information helps you.

If you need any other clarifications or have questions for anyone, post your questions (in detail) to me and/or follow me for more useful information on ‘Careers / Education / Jobs’.

With Best Wishes from RediffGURU, Mr. Brajesh

Sir my self krishna sir can't able focus on studies properly plz give some tips to study for more hours for jee
Ans: Krishna, adhere to the following Strategies/Tips/Steps:

(1) Whenever you study at home, study for 45-minutes. Then take a break of 10-minutes when you can move away from your study table, walk, have some water & relax. If you continue studying beyond 45-minutes, your concentration power will go down, resulting to low output. Most students commit this mistake.
(2) On daily basis (morning or evening whichever will be convenient to you), do yoga or meditation or physical exercises or play any games / sports for at least 30-45 minutes. This will further reduce your stress / distractions.
(3) Study tough topics / tough subjects (applicable to you) early morning with your fresh mind.
(4) Eat a lot of green vegetables / fruits which you can afford for & Avoid soft drinks/junk foods
(5) Every day night, before going to bed, revise whatever you have studied during the day.
(6) Also, revise every week whatever you have covered till date (here your short-notes which you should prepare will be helpful).
(7) Keep practising questions on topics which you have covered either offline or online
(8) Give utmost importance to wrongly answered / difficult / complicated / tough questions and have a separate note-book specially for this for each subject (PCM)
(9) You might be aware that JEE rank is allotted on the basis of highest score in Maths, followed by Physics & Chemistry. Practice more and more in Maths, till you reach Speed & Accuracy

(10) By December-January, attempt fully syllabus online test series, evaluate and analyse your performance such as,

(a) which topic / unit / concept you are weak which needs your revision and improvement as this will disturb you when you appear in actual JEE exam
(b) abnormal time taken to attempt any question which you can come to know from Online Test Series which you should reduce
(c) which questions you skipped and why?

(11) Please AVOID studying under pressure that you should get admission only into IITs/ NITs. Never advisable. Any one can be successful, even if he / she studies in NON-IIT / NON-NIT Colleges also.

(12) Have Plan B & Plan C for other Colleges Entrance Exams / Disciplines-Streams.
(13) Avoid comparing yourself with other students.

(14) Also, it is highly ideal to appear in / attempt\minimum 5-7 Entrance Exams (for both Govt & Private Engineering Colleges). You will have a lot of options (easiest method) to choose the best and most suitable one, keeping in view a lot of factors such as, College | Location | Your Interest | Stream Preference | Placement Records | College Culture | Your Short & Long Term Goals | Pressure You Can Go Through | Your AIR & Job Market Condition when you apply for your BTech & Even after.

I hope I have answered to your question with value additions. All the BEST for your Bright Future.
