Useless JOB PORTALS
It makes me sick when I see some of my below average friends who were clueless about their life working in good companies with the help of some DHAKKA(push) whereas I who had a genuine interest in engineering is sitting idle and has become from good to pathetic. For me everyday counts and I have started the feeling the frustration of not getting job.
Any advice?

Kaustubh KatdareI think Naukri hasn't improved since ages and you need to take new approach to your job hunt. Start looking at startup job boards such as hasgeek and others. There are very limited ones.
One thing you could do is directly submit your profile to the target companies through their online recruitment portal. -
[Prototype]On the contrary, naukri.com is the best of all the portals available imo. I've an first hand experience. I've received at least 10 calls within a week from naukri.com. Same profile throughout all the portals. Others, let alone call, they don't even give relevant job listing to my mail. I am into VLSI and I get a UX design engineer or Metal sheet design engineer as "Relevant for you" jobs. But here's the catch, it's helpful only if you're an experienced professional. As a fresher, I doubt it'll be of any help considering you're in India.
I'd suggest you create a linked in, find some people in your relevant field, preferably from a startup and talk to them. And when I say talk, don't just send them your resume with a long message advertising yourselves. Ask them politely if they could provide you with any opportunities and if and only if they ask you, send them your resume. -
DeadmanThat's the catch everybody wants experience and a long list of skills.😔
Anyways I have account in linked in and I shall put it to some use. -

Useless JOB PORTALS
Can anyone tell me the mantra for getting interview calls on naukri.com? I have been applying for the post of Accountant for past 3 months but forget about interview calls I am not getting a single profile view. I keep my profile updated as much as I can.
I applied for accounts profile job. I started getting calls from fake companies stating that you have got a job as ticketing manager in Air India airlines. You have to pay an amount of Rs 3500 as security deposit which is refundable after you get a job. All fraudsters and Scamsters also register themselves as Hr recruiter on naukri.com. Very Pathetic service by naukri.com

That indeed is true. Most of the job sites will sell your data. That's the main business they are in. We receive several offers for buying all the information of our users; but we shamelessly refuse.
The thing is that, these job portals do not verify the recruiters. Anyone can pay some money and become a recruiter and get access to tens of thousands of candidate resumes.
It's too early to talk; but are working on a job search engine exclusively for engineers. We've identified common problems that both candidates and recruiters face and believe we can solve them. The current jobs finder that we have is an extension of Monster - a leading recruiter. You can try applying for jobs on Monster. Give it a try.
