Hard to say much without knowing where you are. Are you able to find lots of jobs to go for ? C++ is a lot smaller than it was 7 years ago, in the Windows world. Don't reduce your experience. IF you're not getting calls, then other people are presenting better than you, don't try to present worse.

Are you working at the moment, or unemployed? A lot of recruiters will look down on somebody unemployed, assuming that there must be something wrong with you if you can't hold down any sort of job. So get something menial - office admin temping, and put that on your CV. It'll show that you have a work ethic, but just can't find relevant work.
Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

As you're in India, I'd suggest considering analysing your market. I'd guess most of your local work is going to be ASP.NET/C#, so if that's where the work is, buy some books and learn it.

I think you should double your experience, and put some stuff on your resume that you haven't actually done. You'd be surprised at how many programmers are in the industry that did the same thing.

You could always change your occupation to something like... ummm... elephant herder. They have elephants in India, right? You certainly don't have to worry about technological advances where elephants are concerned, so the act of herding will always be the same.

you're finished. Washed up. Technology always changes, if you can't change with it, you have the wrong job.

Maybe someone could come up with a web page that allows you to create a resume with a randomly selected skill set, and that makes you artificially interesting with randomly selected hobbies and personal interests.

A slightly more sarcastic version of what I said ? If the OP doesn't want to learn anything new, he's in the wrong job.

I was merely providing an alternative to being a programmer. I figured elephants were a commodity in India, so it shouldn't be to hard to gather up a bunch of them and herd them around a city, demonstrating proper herding techniques and things like that.

Is your CV on-line? Maybe there is a glaring mistake that the CP collective could kindly point out for you.

First suggestion... don't use all caps. Interesting how you're going to reduce your experience. Maybe by getting a lobotomy? Seriously, 7 years experience isn't all that much (well, at least for me - I've got 35 years). Sometimes it just takes time. If your not getting interviews, that means your resume may not be doing its job. Have somebody, who's good at resume writing, go over your resume to make sure that it sells you properly.

Well also other advances make it easier to remote herd. I can herd from home, I am also a member of Herd Project, a similar user group for Elephantine Logistics. We use "BullWhip" a proprietry software package from the Indian Elephant Software Company of Calcutta. Edit... Does this make me a Herd Nerd?

A lot of them from the SubContinant too. I don't lie, I am just not a real programmer, I do it for fun and for my company as a favour, it is really only for my benefit. But then I don't go for Programming Jobs. Understandable as I am a Company Accountant! But then I lie like bugger on my CV, like everyone else! :)
