Fresher Struggles

This is the underbelly of indian IT industry -- which does all the real work -- Freshers.
They work till odd hours as they have to learn (also cause they are naive, a bit too ambitious).
I was a fresher -- when nobody looked at my profile. No recruiter/consultant touched my CV, or called up.

I have been trying to help an exact similar case from my former firm -- from the initial attempt -- it looks like it would be tough for this guy. He has already been rejected at my firm -- and must say things are not really look up.

About this "Fresher Struggle", most us know the Indian Scenario of Software Industry. You are bowled down by the circumstances to accept what you get or be ostracized for defying.

P.S - My Blog is now updated, though not completely. You can have a look at it and add a link to it in your blog.

Your Comments are always welcome ;)
