Many of you wanted me that okay, please discuss about the how you were rejected as a fresher, right? What was your learning? And in this video, I'm going to talk about this guy. This is going to be a very, very important video for you guys, especially for freshers who are basically starting out, right? How to approach to a different things are different companies, especially right? What are the different things that you can do, right? And how I have tried so that I got a job as a software tester, right? Into one of the service based MNC, I'm going to discuss about this, I'm going to talk about a process and struggle, I think you should know about it, right? You can watch this video in 1.5 ways, guys, this is going to be an amazing journey where I will be discussing about how to handle rejections, how to basically stand out so that you your resume get selected, you get selected at the right time, right? Everyone have a different story and everyone has to do something different to get a particular job, right? So this is going to be an amazing video, alright? So let's get started. First of all, you know what? After completing my graduation, right? You know, I was from New Delhi and my college was tier 3, I think it was less than tier 3 to be honest, right? When I have done my B.Tech, especially in electronics and communication, right? I had no clue that I will be basically joining after 10 years or 11 years, I will be a basically an automation lead or a test architect, right? I didn't have any clue. So it is fine. So learning as a fresher, that it's fine, you sometimes you don't have to know, right? Where you will be, either you can become a developer, you can become a software tester or you can become a DevOps engineer. It is not certain, right? It is definitely not certain which branch you are going to basically get or which domain you will basically be going, right? Or which profile you will be basically going, right? It is not certain in the end. So that's what important learning that you have to start, right? So after doing graduation electronics and communication, right, I had no clue that I will be going to testing. Then I went to Bengaluru, right where to search because it is an IT hub, right? For India, it is like a Silicon Valley where most of the companies related to ITs are there, right? Then I have started applying, right? Then I started applying on a different companies, right? See, I have followed the similar path initially where we were basically applying to a particular company with a simple same resume, okay? This is very important. Same resume, we have prepared, okay, two or three projects that we have done or internship that we have done that are not related to the profile we are applying to see. I have applied for SEO profile. I have applied for DevOps profile. I have applied for developer profile. I have applied for some software testing profile, right? I have even applied for tech support, even applied for the SEO job, right? So I have applied many where I was not confident to be honest when I started, right? And it is fine, right? So first learning again, I told you, right? Learning is that you actually don't know where you will be going, right? There are very few people who have certain things in mind, okay? I will be going to development environment or I will be going to development. I will be going to DevOps. There are very, very few freshers, right? So if you are someone right now who have, okay, promoter, I have seen your videos and I think I can become an automation tester, then go for it. Because now you have a clarity because when I started, there was no clarity at all. Okay. So you need to remember this important point. Okay. Another important point is that see, when you are a fresher, right? You cannot send a generic resume to every profile as well as even in the same profile towards same or different companies, which means promote. What do you mean by this means? See, when I have joined, right? When I've tried after like four or five years, this is one of the learning that I have basically seen, which is that whenever you are applying to a company, right? It should be a very personalized resume, which means because every company HR basically use something called as application tracking system, right? That we already know. So you have to customize your resume in a such a way where it has the important keywords and your project structure is properly aligned so that your resume first get selected. See, if your resume is basically not getting selected, right? You're 70% of the chances are done, even if you have the knowledge. So that's the very important point that I have learned up to some time, right? So this is the learning number two. First of all, first one is you will be uncertain about your career where it will go after five years or ten years, right? Second important learning is that yes, you have to use certain kind of customized resume to so that your resume gets selected, right? You have to work on your resume first, because this is like the first entry point where after that you will get an interview, right? And the third important point, which is after your selection of resume, right? What you need to do is you need to showcase the knowledge, right? So my recommendation right now, for example, suppose you want to become an automation or you want to become a DevOps engineer or probably a developer, right? That you want to, for example, you want to go to front end, my advice will be immediately as a fresher, right? Even if you have not learned about the languages, right? If you want to go for a development environment front end, start learning JavaScript and the frameworks. This is very important. It will definitely give you an edge, right? So that's what my recommendation is. Because whenever I was hiring, because when I was QLE, right? I have to hire a couple of freshers, right? I have to hire a lot of lot of freshers. So what was the recommendation was if you have a programming knowledge, if you have the projects done, if you have the internships related to this, if you have some of the projects that you have done somehow on a GitHub that you have basically put it right anywhere, right? Then your chances to get selected on the basis of knowledge will be really, really high, right? The third point is that yes, as a fresher, my recommendation is that you should pay attention to programming language as well as the project that you should be doing on Saturdays and probably anything. Do some open source projects and add those projects to your resume that yes, I have done it. Add those things onto a GitHub profile. Also, I have discussed this like multiple times. This is one of the important things as a fresher you have to do. If you are a DevOps, if you want to become a DevOps, aspire to be a DevOps engineer, create some of the applications are there, right? Front end application, deploy them and whatever the process that you have done, basically document it and upload it to GitHub so that it will be visible, right? Share your projects and everything on a LinkedIn also. That is what it's right. So now comes the fourth important point, which is you have to showcase your skills on a social media, which means this is one of the important learning. Basically, I have seen after two, three years. Nowadays, it is mandatory, which means you have to showcase your projects on LinkedIn, right? For example, create a LinkedIn profile. Make sure you are properly adding the things properly, adding the projects and everything as a fresher onto a LinkedIn. Manage your profile very, very well. I have given the tips also, right? I will basically put a link below how to manage your LinkedIn profile, how to prepare a particular URL, customer's URL, right? Everything I have mentioned, right? Link will be in the description. I will add this. Now you need to do is that you need to basically showcase those projects to everyone, which means what you will be doing is that you will be basically networking with the HRs, right? Basically, try to add very few peers. If you have the same level, right? Try to add very few peers. The maximum number of people you need to add a fresher, right? Is that you need to add the HRs, right? Engage with them, engage with the conversation with them and share your project that you have done onto LinkedIn. Also, you have to showcase your projects. This is very, very important, right? So you can showcase by using blogs, creating videos on a LinkedIn profile, on a Twitter profile, on a medium articles, right? You can do multiple things to that, right? But that was a fourth important thing. Now, the last important thing which I have learned very, very hard way is that yes, which is the fifth one. Guys, fifth one is basically networking, which was basically see, I was directly applying to the companies, right? That's why I was getting rejected many, many times, right? Because there was no referral directly. I was just applying and based on the certain certain conditions and all, they basically rejected me, right? So fifth important point, which I am, I really want to all of you to pay attention is that networking is very, very important means that find the people who are already working into your peer groups, right? Into your friends, right? It can be your seniors. So let me tell you, my seniors helped me to get my first job. This is very important because I remember, right? When I went to Bengaluru, right? Again, I've tried for almost one month. I've tried for one month. There was no job. Basically, we had a walkings, okay? So every day we used to get an email or sometimes we used to see some of the information on Facebook groups, right? That these are the walkings. Walkings are basically where you will go to a company. They will basically give you some aptitude test or some questions. If you're good, they will take your second interview, else you will be rejected, right? This is how the process will be. If the second interview is fine, they will give you a third interview date. If you clear third one, then they will hire you, right? This is kind of walkings basically are there previously, right? Right now, I don't think there is a lot of walking, especially in Bengaluru area. But at the time when I was there, right? Walkings are very, very hot at the time, right? Right now, I think it is directly applying or referrals which is here, right? So that's why. So see, I got rejected almost like every day I was getting rejected. So almost one and a half month and two months continuous rejection, right? Then basically one of my senior told me that, okay, there was a Accenture who's hiring, right? For a Bengaluru profile, go and apply. So I went to Bombay, right? Alone and had given the interview. There we got hired and basically then I have joined the Accenture MNC service base right after that. So that was my, that's how I have started. That's how the struggle is, right? So I hope the five important learning points are there, which are very, very important. See, initially you will be uncertain. That's fine. You have to follow someone. You have to know about the mentors and you have to have a clarity, okay, where you want to go, right? And please, please, the fifth one, which we are, you have to basically pay attention net network with the people as much as you can, okay? Have a relationship with them. I think right now, what you can do is every month, right? Just go to LinkedIn and say hi to the random HRs or random people, which you think should be part of your life or should be, they can help you in some future, right? I hope this video inspire you. I hope this video helps you, right? Don't say that. Okay. I have applied for one, two jobs. We are not getting any job, right? Software testing is dead or whatever, right? Don't go with this kind of scenario. This is just a silly propaganda, which is handled by rate. If you pay attention, if you are basically continuously putting the efforts, definitely you are going to get a job properly, right? Make sure you are doing and following your process, which is very, very important. And make sure you are trying the things which basically give you a little separation as compared to the other people, right? Journalism doesn't work. You have to be unique in this nature. That's what my learning is all about, right? I hope this video helps. If you're an existing subscriber, thanks a lot for joining. If you're a new one, I create videos around the productivity, software testing, and I hope this video helps, right?
