To all the people looking for jobs and not getting call backs.

Hey peps, If you are looking at this post there is a high possibility that you are for a job.

I was laid off from a startup in April 2024 having only 9 months of experience and it took me around 5 months to get my second job and hence here I have curated few findings which I found while floating and experimenting through these 5 months .

• Hiring is a long process, don't expect results in just a few days it's a few months process, once you apply except you will get its outcome in a bunch of weeks/ months .

• Your count starts when you give the first round of an interview not when you apply.

• Apply and forget . When you get the interview, prepare, in preparation try to understand what the company is and what it wants . See Glassdoor leetcode ambition box and reddit discussion evaluate everything which is publicly available. Turn your preparation into company centric once you get the interview. Research is the key .

• For portals use Naukri, Instahyre, Linkdin, Ambition box, Glassdoor and don't be afraid to switch roles, analyze what business and market wants and how easy can you adopt . I was a devops engineer, I switched to ai and backend .

• I got my last two jobs from linkedin easy apply and naukri .

• Don't think about the results, keep applying intervening and don't commit the same set of mistakes and above all be patient with yourself, hiring is a long process and remember you don't have to be the best, you just have to be the person who survives .

• Make a good CV, I would suggest make multiple cvs for multiple roles and keep changing and updating, use latex and make sure it has high ats score .

• Lastly don't be disheartened it's a marathon not a race .

• Be you, be passionate and kill it .
