Challenge the Economic Recession

Everybody is scared of this economic recession. Industries are not doing well in this downturn. Most of the industries stopped recruiting even experienced engineers. Newspaper stories of Layoffs and Pink Slips threaten us further.

How are you going to face this industry downturn?

I am sure you will try sincerely to get into industry. You will keep on applying to the companies. But in this situation industries might hesitate to consider fresher. If this continues for some time, you would get frustrated and lose your confidence. You may even start thinking of changing your career too. I am not trying to threaten you by exaggerating the current situation. It's natural and the market condition always goes through peaks and slowdowns in a cyclic fashion. So you can't do anything just by worrying about the economic recession. You should plan very carefully how to face it.

Do you want to be idle till this situation becomes normal?

Time is GOLD. I suggest you to utilize this time very usefully. Do some specialized trainings and increase your skill sets. But you need to choose the training institution very carefully. Find out, whether they are really capable of guiding you to do the industry standard projects on your own. The projects that you do will increase the value of your resume. This way you can make yourself ready and face the interviews when the industries start recruiting.

Be positive. Challenge this economic down turn and show to this world who you are... All the best!
