You're not alone! I wish I could find as many jobs to apply to as you, but there aren't many in my field of expertise, so I try to apply to jobs not only in my field, but others that are similar so I have a chance at least getting a call back. The job market still isn't all that great. I think it's going to take a long time before I find anything as well. I just got laid off back in July and I don't have much hope I'll find something soon and I've got over 20 years of experience in my field, but that doesn't seem to matter. Hang in there!

I really intend to say this gently and as constructive criticism: If your initial post is a true indication of your communications skills, that could be a part of the problem. While techies don't have to be Shakespeare when writing, clear, direct communications are important. I realize that your post is directed at this forum and you may think of it as being informal, but recruiters, headhunters and hiring managers often look through all sorts of social media to get information about potential candidates so it's important to always put your best foot forward when posting -- especially on a public or semi-public forum. Good luck with your search. All it takes is one offer...

See if you can get a job with Symantec in Pune then, after some time, try to transfer to a Symantec office in the US. You will be tested, so you need to get some 'Prep" to be able to pass the technical part of the interview. It is very hard and you have to be well rehearsed prior to the interview. Good luck!

GR8 keep up the good work, I've been looking for about a year and change, now. The economy is soft lots of low paying jobs but few jobs at the high end and I do cybersecurity, go figure. The process circus for electing a president that we're seeing in the media isn't helping either, business owners are not sure what's going to happen next. AARP tells me that on avg I have to look for a job for about 24 months, since I'm now a Sr Citizen. So I know how you feel. I think it's a numbers game, the more resumes you have out there the better, it also helps to post them online for example try resumerabbit.com, they'll post to 90 sites puting you in front of 1.5M recruiters, hiring mangers etc. It sounds like you're already using jobsites like, careerbuilder.com, monster.com etc.

I've been looking for three months. When I began my resume was horribly outdated, and my head was spinning from getting let go from a company I helped build -- a company I'd been with for nearly 15 years. I agree with another poster that you are applying for WAY too many jobs. Instead, tailor your resume. I've got probably 10-15 resumes now that I send depending on the job. One thing that I noticed In reading your post and your headline, is the sense of frustration and negativity. I certainly get the frustration, but guard against becoming negative. That attitude shines through on interviews and can spike your job opportunity. Stay positive. Even if you have to step away for a day or two to clear your head. Guard against negativity creeping in. It's a job killer.

Listen, here is something to think about. Every time you submit a Resume, keep this in mind, you are posting your VALUABLE information. I strongly encourage that you start being careful of giving out information to every HR person that inquires. Identity theft is rampant now and if you give out your information you are being put in a vulnerable position for Identity theft. BE CAREFUL !!! You think you have a problem now ? Slow down and take more of a concentrated approach to this matter. Good luck.

Hi Dharmesh! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your job search. I can relate; when I was in college, I applied to easily over 100 summer internships/jobs every year before I ever had any luck. I have an Information Systems degree with a minor in Human-Computer Interaction, and folks always say that it's easy to find jobs in technical fields, but in reality it's not as easy as one would think!

One thing I discovered over the years is that it really helps if you have a more concrete idea of what exactly you want to do with your degree, and then brand yourself based on those specific goals. Since you have a Masters in Computer Science, you have many options! You could go into software engineering, techops, devops, user experience, the list goes on. Also, you'll want to think about what your end goals are, and makes you unique from all the other computer science grads out there. What kinds of problems do you want to solve? What kind of company would you enjoy working for (startups, large companies, etc.)? What are you passionate about? Companies evaluate who would be a good fit for them by looking at not only candidates' skills, but also their passions and end goals.

I realize it can be difficult to determine what exactly it is you want to do when you're just starting your career, but maybe sleep on it a couple days, and then take a look at your resume and see how well it reflects who you are and what you want to do. I also echo that when applying for these positions, quality over quantity is key. Instead of applying for 30-40 jobs per day, try somewhere between 2-5, depending on what you can handle. Look at each company and position, carefully read everything you can about the job description, company history, etc., and then demonstrate why that company would be a good fit for you in the application and cover letter.

Good luck and hope this helps!

You are looking in the wrong place. Tech help is not hired directly to the company today. You need a recruiter. In California try Akraya.com. They have very good contacts in all the areas.

It is a rough economy and employers are very choosy with whom they decide to hire. As a past manager, one of my pet peeves was grammar and spelling. If you couldn't put a sentence together or your spelling was incorrect, that would send up a red flag. One or two typos were okay but not several. As a college graduate you have to be able to write correctly . Could it be your resume'? Maybe have a friend or former professor assess your resume'. My friend who has been a director for many years was just notified she too many typos on her resume' and was turned down for the position she was applying for. She looked at her resume' and was shocked to see how many she had. She never checked her resume' prior to sending it. Best if luck in your job search!

Keep trying, you aren't alone
