hey guys
I really felt happy on receiving lot of response to this blog which keep the spirit high in continue writing this.
ok I will continue from the 8th point.
8.Now I hope you are ready with your resume. If not, no issues, even I can give you with some sample resumes so that you can prepare accordingly.(I need to find a way for uploading the docs and PDFs into this blog since there is no storage)
Once you are ready with your Resume,......I am highlighting "READY" because I dont want you guys to take a short cut in making Resume by copying and pasting from somebody else's.
- Please prepare your Resume carefully.
- Read each and every WORD in that, since the recruiters read each and every word in the resume and they ask questions on that. If you say that you are not expertised in whatever they ask the one they picked from your own resume then you will be in a embarassed situation.
-The word here means the SKILLSET you have and experienced with.
- If you have worked extensively on that partiular area or tool then confidently mention that you are an expert on that. Otherwise just mention that you have only theoritical knowledge on that.
for example: you have extensively worked on SUN servers and SOLARIS OS, but you have no exposure to SUN Cluster or Veritas Cluster,except knowing the concepts, in that case please mention that you are an expert in SUN Hardware and Solaris OS, but have "Theoritical knowledge on Clustering services".
- Also check that your Resume is without any GRAMMAR mistakes and you have used the same fonts throughout the resume.
9. So now you are really ready with your RESUME.
- Then start creating a LOGIN in www.naukri.com, www.jobsahead.com, www.monster.com, www.google.co.in/jobs.
-Create your profile in all these(YES in all) job sites and UPLOAD your resume in there.
10. Thats it, done now you are visible to the IT MNC world. Even your own company will send you mail saying that we have some openings for you, because they search for guys having similar skills as you have and you will also be one among that. Dont worry about that.
You will start getting mails from concerns and more from CONSULTANTS.
- you will also get calls directly.
-start enjoying..!!!!!
11. The next step will be to prepare for your interviews based on the skillsets you have mentioned in your Resume, software and hardware you have experience in, tools and technology you have worked with,Certifications, also on the PROJECTS you have worked on, awards you have got and significant achievements of yours.
- Guys who are in the field like customer engineer who go on field for attending issues with several customers on Desktop, servers and printer problems, no need to worry. You can mention the major clients you are handling and write detailed description about their environment and mainly about the "CRITICALITY" of the customer business and how important you are in running their business smooth. This will give you a good impression and project your crisis handling skills.
- Those who are working as "Site Engineers" (some companies they call it as FMS) can mention the "IT infrastrucure setup" of your client you are handling and the PROCESS they follow in attending the issues(Troubleshooting).
- You have to mention the TICKETing system implemented there and the procedure you follow after you receive a service call (or request) and how you co ordinate with people in getting informations and resolve issues and close the TICKET( or case or call as the term used in different concerns). because nowadays recruiters are really intersted in knowing about the process you follow, even you are strong Technically you are expected to know the process well.
ok I am stopping here for now, since I need to send replies to some mails I got from some guys on asking for advice abt the change in their career. will continue tomorrow..have a nice day..!!!
