Have you completed technical education? I am not clear as to why having a break in education is an issue. Why do "they" beileve this is an issue?
Have you been working on a mainframe for 3 years now? |

Yes this is the key Anand78, if you are currently working, FORGET about your 'break', remember this is You who is thinking about 'break' as a buzzword in Your mind, interviewer & no one else can make You accept that time period was a waste unless You've already accepted it before facing someone.
Through 'this' thought process out of Your mind..it's a parasite thought.. don't let it grow. |

Some Indian IT comapnies will not consider resume who has break in education for more than certain years. This again is internal company policy.

Hi all,
The probelm facing is not thought of mind. I am able to clear technical round but when it comes to HR,,, then I will be out of race.
They (HR) say that we can not process further because of company policy.
I accept that I am having very poor acedemic record but why people do not consider my present market value.
My educational detail:
SSLC 78% Year 1993
PUC II 50% Year 1996
B.E 50% Year 2003
Thanks,
Anand |

Just let me put this way, if two people are equal in terms of market value.... how will pick one among them? That time academic comes into picture. |

Have You ever been asked this earlier ?
There are companies who consider 50% as well, but yes, a little effort from your part is needed.. |

Almost positively not. The longer you work, the less it will matter. When people are relatively new (3 years is a long time to you, but not so long to some others), the academic info counts for more. As you become more established, school info means less - most places will only care that you went to school.
What is important is that you are currently working. Learn as many new things that you can on this job. You may be able to move up within the organization where you currently work.
Taking some additonal training on your own might also make a good impression as it could show your willingness to make additonal nvestment in yourself. Now that you understand more about how the academics relate to your career, it may be the incentive to "ace" the new training so the interviewers can see the diffeence. |

But Indian IT companies are insisting on this and they say its a 'company policy'. So... I doubt they would 'bend' this policy for one resource. |

Hello,
I believe you have not understood what i posted. . .

I agree, i would think they would not bend for one resource. But that is not what i was talking about.

My point is that while this may be critical for people who are "new" or "freshers", it will be less critical as experience is gained. |
