<ul><li>After final year exam do not go directly to appear for interview. Instead think 10 times which type of job you are looking for? What is your aim?&nbsp; Now, if you look at the Software industry, you will find a huge difference between demand versus supply of skilled professionals.Unfortunately, most freshers are weak in the fundamentals of computing, such as<i> C programming, Algorithms, IPC,&nbsp; Operating system internals, scripting language, Compilers, Debugger, linker&nbsp; and data structures</i> etc.Except for some theoretical knowledge, they lack any practical experience whatsoever on programming.If you are a student searching for job, do not panic. Getting your first job can be easy only you just have to understand what a employer looks for in candidates and make sure you meet those requirements.Surprisingly, not all computer programming languages (such as COBOL, BASIC) are for programmers. Some computer languages are created essentially to allow non programmers to program a computer to solve relatively simple problems.Most students think that they need to follow the latest technologies to get a good job. That is not true either. For example, cloud computing is popular today, but do not pay a hefty sum to join a course in a private institute to master that. Instead, focus on the fundamentals first. For example, a good grasp of data structures and algorithms is important to get any entry-level job. Similarly, focus on your C skills if you are not too good at it.“When student first start taking programming courses at various private classes and colleges, the first language they learn is C. This is because C is the most traditional language, whose concept forms the base of every other language. Often in colleges and programming classes, while teaching C/C++ instructor do so in Turbo C/C++ or Borland C/C++ on Windows XP. When&nbsp;one asks them about various other IDEs (integrated development environments), the response is that we must use Turbo C/C++ or Borland C/C++. This is especially true in colleges, where teachers wield more authority over students, who are “forced” to program in the IDEs mentioned above.These IDEs had their last release somewhere in 1994-95, and we are living in 2015; it makes absolutely no sense, and it’s absurd to use a program that is 20 years old! Even the standards of C and C++ have been revised more than once to include better features since.For example, here is an error I have encountered quite often while programming in Borland at college. In a C function, you declare variables at the beginning of the function. Then you write some code, and after that, you find you need another variable, and declare it just after the code you finished writing — somewhat like what follows:</li></ul><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>int func() <br></span></div><div><span>{&nbsp; <br></span></div><div><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; foo();&nbsp; <br></span></div><div><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int y; // this will raise an error with Turbo C or Borland C</span></div><div><span>}</span></div><div>When you complete the program and compile it, the compiler will give some strange error like “declaration not allowed here”. This is a completely valid piece of code and I have done this a zillion times — but my compiler is GCC, the GNU C compiler. You might think it strange that I’m talking against Borland and Turbo while myself using them at college; yes, it is an unfortunate part of my life that I cannot help. I just avoid coding at college, and do it at home using vim/Emacs and GCC.”Once you have a reasonably good grounding in the fundamentals, find out what area in computing motivates you and what you would like to do in the future. It may be&nbsp;Areas: <br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1.&nbsp; Data warehousing &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br></div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. data mining <br></div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.

For example, if you are from the electronics field and love playing with electronics components like registers, diodes and capacitors, circuits you might like low-level device driver programming.Most students have a misconception that getting a job in the software industry means a programming job that involves only coding. It is not all true. There is wide range of jobs that you can consider-as a tester, technical writer and database administrator or configuration engineer. If you have specialized skills that are relevant to the industry, it is easy to find a job.Think about it: if you get job that you hate, what’s good in that job for you in the long run?&nbsp;I have written following tips to share with you so that you can also get benefited without wasting time and money.</div><div>1. After finishing final year exam do not go directly for job hunting to cyber cities. If you see your senior/super senior still they are hunting jobs.</div><div>2. Just ask yourself like whether really you have enough knowledge to face interview.</div><div>3. Neglect rumors and find out the truth.</div>
