I am 28 years old. Can I get a job as a fresher in the IT sector?

Yes Definitely. If you are from IT background then it will be easy for you but you need to work very hard to get an opportunity to enter in IT sector.

in 2017, I was in the same situation you are now. I have completed my B.tech from IT branch in 2014 and then I was preparing for government exam. Unfortunately i did not get selected in any government exam. And I had given almost 3 year for preparing government job but did not get any success in this. Then I decided to move to Bangalore and there I started applying in every company for job. but did not get a single offer because lack of my IT skills and 3 years career gap. Then I talked to people who is already working in IT sector and also staying in my PG. then I decided to learn Android. And I joined one couching for Learning Android. it was almost 4 months but did not get any job that that time. Then after finishing my Android course I got one call from small startup. And that time I decided this is my first and last opportunity and anyhow i need to get this job. And I started preparing for Interview. And When I reached for Interview, there was almost 30 people came for the interview. There was 3 rounds: 1st round was quant aptitude and this was the easiest for me because i had already prepared for qant and aptitude for 3 year while preparing for government job, and i was selected for the second round. And 2nd and 3rd round was technical. In last Hr came to me and told me your intervie got well. we will let you know. 1 week passed they did not call me then I called to Hr and asked my status. Then he replied that you are selected. That time I literally started crying, and called to my sister and parents. Then next day I reached to office as discussed with HR and there I met with manager, I was very happy. Manager told me that you are selected but you need to work for 6 month without pay. I was shocked, I was thinking like I have done everything for getting this job. I means job without pay. I was laughing on my self. Even I accepted that offer. I completed my 6 month on that company without pay. after six month I got my first salary 15k. and Now I am getting 10+ lpa in another startup company. And now I am very happy. I have upgraded my skills and Now I am working as a full stack developer with Angular and node.

moral: work hard, keep patience, never lose your hope. And keep an eye to grab the opportunity.

Best of luck,

Amit Singh

{ You can do MCA/MBA/PG Diploma/C-DAC but try to do from decent college and see the placement stats , It takes courage to start fresh. If not selected in government Job don't you want to live a good life ? Then do start and change the direction Try to think and create your path }

How much time to give for Government Job Preparation?

Why are we poor and others rich ?
