I got inspired by very few people/ Managers in my life.
There was a manager I was reporting to and he was an IITian from IIT Bombay..
He is very knowledgeable and he has deep technical knowledge on various engineering topics.
Personally also he was good and people use to find it difficult in understanding his intentions, so they thought that he was rude. But really he was a nice guy.
Every week starting he will ask me for a status update on the project and he will ask for the plan of action on the coming weeks or even days. So that it will be easy for us to plan our self and track our work. Also he had taught me from where he learnt how to manage his professional life and personal life.
He suggested me a book from Stephen R Covey and that book is called " 7 Habits of effective People".. It was really an awesome book and very good content.
I read that book almost 15 years ago but still I remember those 7 habits..
1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with an End in mind
3. Put first things first
4. Seek first to understand than to be understood
5. Win-Win
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw
The book also has some work sheets which can be used to define our "Short Term" Goal and "Long term Goal"

Once you get mails from the consultants and companies check for the skill sets they are looking for.
Look into that and check whether you fit into this kind of role.
Brush up your skill sets from the list of what the company is expecting and start working on that. so that you become familiar on those skill sets.
Then again update your resume and post it in the same old job sites, this time I am sure you will get lot of mails from the consultants and also directly from companies.
Hope you would have got some idea.
Or you got more confused or scared of this mail. write to me in details what you felt based on that I will assist you. ok.? Happy or sad..!!!
