10 Tech Career Boosters

Going by most media and industry reports, technology industries in India are starting to bounce back from the global slowdown. Our country might not be faring as badly as others are right now, but that still doesn’t mean all is well on the job search front. Many of the workers laid off earlier this year are still finding it hard to get new jobs, since companies are only just starting to recover and aren’t looking at expansion opportunities yet. With so many experienced workers and so few job openings, things don’t look very good at all for the lakhs of freshers who will be graduating six or eight months from now and entering the job market for the first time.

“IT” as a career option is a fairly vague, nebulous idea. Everyone knows that IT is hot and there’s lots of money to be made if you’re young and well educated, but no one can actually pin down a single, specific path to follow that guarantees you’ll make it big.

Never dos during an interview

Never forget to study well about your current company and interviewing company

Never tell list of companies you worked just to show your experience – it gives negative impression

Never add fake achievements- interviewer can ask prove of what all you claimed at the time of interview

Never say for what you are not confident-
Many candidates when asked from their resume only, don’t have appropriate answers (like their incentives, achievements etc)

Never smile unnecessarily or more then required

Never do knuckle cracking

Never shake your legs (if you are nervous ask for 5 mins, make yourself cool then go)

Never move your fingers in your hair

Never see the roof or walls if you don’t know any answer

Never cry or try to gain sympathy for any circumstances, if you have to share then show you die hard attitude and you are ready to accept all challenges in life.

Never yawn. It is an absolute insult to your audience (regardless of a seemingly legitimate excuse). If you do slip and yawn. Apologize immediately.

Never look at your watch during the interview. If you have a bad habit of doing this, take it off before you go into the interview.

Never give “fishhand”. Weak handshakes don’t go over well with anyone! At the same time, don’t overcompensate with a “bone crusher”.

Never avoid eye contact. This is a huge turn off. And if multiple people are in the room, rotate equally to look at everyone when you speak so as not to be dismissive to anyone.

Never slouch, fidget or cross your arms. These are very bad non-verbal cues. Some people struggle with what to do with their hands. Consider bringing a notebook. That way, you can hold the pen and take notes to keep your hands busy.

Never take risks with what you wear. Even if someone tells you it’s a very casual workplace, that doesn’t mean you can bust out your favorite Metallica t-shirt and keep your nose ring in. During the interview process, you don’t want to stand out for the wrong reasons. This isn’t a time to take risks. Men are always better off going with a dark suit and women with proper business atire.
