Dear Ashwini, I faked my CV and cracked an interview with a leading IT company. But since I have joined, I am not getting any projects. What do you suggest I do? Should I quit my job? Or talk to the manager? How to continue in my career? Pls help

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Hope you are doing well.

Apology for the delay in reply.

I would not recommend you to fake any cv/ resume. It's always good to mention what is authentic and true. Secondly, please note nowadays almost every company go through the process of background check verification for the all the applicants they are hiring. Hence, one need to be very careful what information you are showing and saying to the organization. The adverse impact could lead to termination for faking the information. Hence, going forward from refrain such acts.

On the first point- Not getting the projects.

I suggest please speak to your manager and understand what the situation is and come to a probable conclusion or an understanding. Quitting is not the solution always. The same situation may arise elsewhere as well.

Next, understand how the market is doing at the moment in your industry before taking any decision. In the mean time as you are on bench/ no projects then consider this as a time for your to upgrade your skills so that it will help you to stand out.

After weighing the pros and cons post discussion with your manager this should probably lead to a direction if you need to look for the job. For now, keep the job search/ industry information handy for reference.

I will be keen to know your discussion with the manager. Hope this helps.

To Your Success. Be you. Be Confident
