I want a big house and a car, now. And I am ready to earn it.
I suggest to hang on for a while and wait.

Not me, not in any material sense anyway. I'm living in a small house in an unimpressive part of West London. No job, no car. Things could be worse it's true, but I'm no measure of flaming success right now.

Believe it or not 4 certifications is a lot for a junior position. Most people in senior positions don't have 4. And they wouldn't have known your age. I'd be willing to bet that a 5 second scan of your resume would give most people the impression that you are way more qualified than you really are. Of course it could have been as simple as they got so many resumes for the position that they took the top 20 to sort through and threw the rest away. Don't get too discouraged man.![]()

Personally Now I feel that experience is more important than a university degree! Inspite of being masters in CS and having good GPA (3.83 is it bad or good)and all knowledge of J2EE having a difficult time in getting interview calls.

But after seeing Billy Tsai certification I think I should try crying and should prepare for some certifications in hope that it will help.
Originally posted by Priyanka Chopda:
But frankly can anybody give me some suggestions whether or not in this tight market I should wait for right job or should I accept any damn testing job which I don't think suits my degree or knowledge?? Every day is depressing than the previous day
Any suggestions are mor than welcome
Thanks guys

The job market stinks right now but it isn't the first time that the IT market has sucked. Us old-timers will remember 1986 when an entry level guy couldn't get a job if he paid the boss. And the early 90's right before the dot com boom wasn't very good either. We recall the last 8 years and think that we have a god-given right to be immune to business cycles. Markets go up and markets go down. The market is slowly recovering. I am seeing some good signs in the marketplace that things are getting better. I think the overseas outsourcing issue is way overblown anyway. Companies have been putting off major IT work because of the economy. Once the economy gets back in gear these companies will have a huge amount of backlogged work that needs to be done. There will be boom times ahead. And there will be down times ahead. It's all part of life's rich pageant.
