Upgrade your skill, Upgrade your skills, Upgrade your skills. It is always not true that you have to find a project for yourself, There are dedicated groups which help to find suitable opportunities within the company

Now since I am experienced; the Cos recruiting for smaller positions dont need me. The lateral positions arent interested due to the career gap.

My last interview was on August 2012. I dont own a house. Sometimes to save on rent I spend nights in crowded railway stations.

Hi Sreekumar
I fully understand.
Have you considered non-IT opportunities? Actively?

You have been a rank holder.How about Training / Teaching?

Layoff has been a very very good learning experience. It taught me how selfishness is not bad. Actually good to a certain extent

Since 2010 experts are talking about massive Layoffs
by Vijay Kurhade on Sep 13, 2013 08:35 PM

but in reality IT n other Service sectors are recruiting in thousands.

So called Experts always goof-up,
today most 1Cr 2-3BHK are purchased by IT professionals, most have entry level sedans.

IT is going to flourish n flourish, so IT pros dont bother about such articles, Enjoy Life Bigtime

Anyone Who Stops Learning Is Out of Projects
by Bigtribe on Sep 13, 2013 06:21 PM  | Hide replies

Fact of the matter is that this man was the wrong man in the job.
Never seem to have learnt anything to progress himself in the career.
If talented and skilled there is no dearth of jobs even during the height of recession.

An article by an underperformer
by pvs on Sep 13, 2013 06:00 PM  | Hide replies

It is true that IT industry is tough but so do every job. If your performance is not good no one will take u in any project and u will be on bench. Performance is needed in every field not even IT. Take example of housemaid, if she doesn't sweep ur floors clean u will get rid of her quickly. Is it not? So don't bother about what this guy says. There is nothing to worry about. Give performance take job but dont stretch yourself too much. No one is as harsh as this person told. He is an obvious under performer
