    My question is:- How a Fresher(Me) get a Software development job? Qualification is BSC-IT(2012)and currently working at Software Engineering Institute as a Junior Faculty about 2 Years. My hobby is become a Software Developer. I already developed some freelance software in C# .NET, and I think I have a knowledge in C#.NET(mostly I like to code in C# all day).. So you think why I waste my 2 years in Junior Faculty? when I passed BSC-IT exam, I thought to do MCA and I joined the MCA distance education, after that some problems raised with the university. Now it's delaying the MCA. and meantime I also tried to find jobs on Software Developing but couldn't find or not match with my profile.. Is it must to get the degree and work experience to get the job? Is it doesn't matter how much you know or what you love to do?? Sorry for My English Language(its messy).. I Want some Suggestion...

    Don't watch the clock; Do what it does. Keep going.....

      Look for advertised jobs in your location, talk to recruitment agencies, ask your friends and colleagues ...

        actually in my location .NET jobs are rarely found, if have some then it will require higher degrees or experience .. I searched and tried all the links I have to find the jobs in Software Development, but ultimately most of them are saying send me your resume I will check, No result within 1 and half years.. Please tell me how to handle this depression??

          By not wasting your time asking people who have no idea where you live or what the local job market is like. If you want to find a job then you have to go out and search for yourself.

            Namaste Fresher-ji, (or, if you prefer, "Namaskaram," or "Vannakam") Job searching can be frustrating, can take a long time, I know. It's important you try hard to not let a sense of disappointment cause you to withdraw from keeping your full energy involved with continuing to educate yourself technically, and to keep up the good personal habits (diet, exercise, social relaxation) that make you, in person, aware, alert, and socially agreeable. Please keep in mind the profound words of Kabir: "rahi gulzar to phool khilenge," "where there is a garden, the flowers will come." If we do not take care of our own garden, who will ? Since you have experience, evidently, teaching, I suggest you continue to do that in some way, even if it means volunteering somewhere, since, imho, there's no better way than teaching to continually sharpen and improve your own understanding of what you have learned yourself. From your other comments, it seems like there may be only a few .NET companies in the area where you live. Have you considered relocating first to an area where there are more .NET companies ? Yes, I know that may not be possible, but you might consider at least a job-finding trip to that area ? I would also suggest ... if you haven't done so already ... that you create a technical blog, and try and make it relevant to people working in .NET in your area. While you may not like the idea of applying for an entry-level position, like QA tester, or tech support, that might be a way to "get your foot in the door" in a company you want to work for; once employed there, and known and respected, you might have the opportunity to make yourself known to other programmers there and eventually shift to a programming job. best wishes, Bill

            «I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009
