Current Situation Of IT industry
I’ve been actively applying to multiple IT companies every single day through platforms like LinkedIn and Naukri.com. With 3 years and 9 months of experience in the industry, I expected at least some response — but unfortunately, I haven’t received even a single call from a recruiter or HR so far. It’s disheartening to see how challenging the current situation in the IT sector has become, especially for those of us who are experienced and still eager to grow and contribute. Can anyone suggest some tips regarding this?
