Q: What difficulties did you face while searching for a job and how did you overcome those difficulties?
First of all my college didn’t support much in terms of campus placements. So after graduating from college, I was completely clueless.

AMCAT bridges the gap between the jobseeker and recruiter by taking an assessment which every company considers in their first round of interview. So if you are qualified from AMCAT you have already crossed the first level of difficulty. Same happened with me when I appeared for Accenture.

More than 5-6 calls.

Sure, I will suggest. Because as a fresher it’s not easy to get a job in this market. Many companies rely on employability tests like AMCAT for hiring fresh graduates. So this will give you an option of several opportunities.
Q: Would you like to share some tips which can help other job seekers in getting a good job?
First of all clear AMCAT with good scores. The AMCAT syllabus contains everything that you need to know for any placement exams. Be confident about yourself. Have a good hold on your technical subjects. All the best.
