Job Referral Thread · DIGIT-ARC

Hey friends,

I work at TCS Hyderabad as a Assistant system engineer. It has been above an year here for me. We keep getting internal mails about various job offers around the country were TCS has vacancies. So we basically can refer people for that position. After clearing the interview process they will be eligible to join.

I am starting this thread for any of you who might be interested in working. Or for those of you who might be on a job hunt.

If you guys are interested then i will put up a poster about the openings as of now.

Warm regards,
Napster

What is the job eligibility?

Interested, but same question, eligibility ?

D

thanks for the initiative bro. please do post the info about vacancies and eligibility. definitely will be useful for at least a few.

Umm... I am not sure if that is what this program means. The program has "buddy" in it. Means you should know the person you are referring. And I am pretty sure, a random person you found on an online forum isn't your buddy.

I would recommend to let them apply directly to TCS website rather.

The program is a reference only.

You send your CVs to OP, he uploads in system
You get a mail and (now) within 15 days OP get a confirmation mail informing if the CV is shortlisted for any interview.

Hi all,

Here are the details of the program,

Dear garbage,

Usually these referral programs have referral amount to the referrer,if the referree got selected in the interview.
Do TCS have any?

IMO they do, but not actually sure about how much. I guess it depends upon the post for which the referee goes for.

A

Is it selected or Joined? Suppose someone got selected but did not join the company, then? Shall the referrer get the amount?

Any way what is the minimum experience required? and what about the technology and domains?

We too get mails for referrel, but minimum of 3 years of experience is required..

arijitsinha said:

The referree has to be in that company for certain months, as mandated by the comp. Then only, the referrer will get the amount.

Interesting, I'll post some here too, there are many opportunities for experienced people here, I get dozens of mail regularly.

I'm experienced, but all are BPO Jobs? What about Technical?

If someone has sufficient experience , say 3-4 years .Will the graduation through correspondence become an obstacle ??
And say if someone has Graduation through correspondence but Post-Graduation is through regular , will that suffice ??

// I am asking this in context with common MNC companies , and not particularly for TCS //

^^ Most MNC (Including TCS) require no break and regular studies till graduation. Graduation from correspondence will not be entertained. Also no correspondence course is entertained by any means.

Post graduation on correspondence is fine, but mentioning it has no effect, they don't take correspondence courses in to consideration. So last regular Degree will matter and the selection will be based on that.

^ Experienced & Fresher? :chinscratch:

^fresher since Jan, 2012.. in other words, Unemployed.

I guess he meant, he's experienced of being fresher.

krishnandu.sarkar said:

Yes. That's exactly what I meant :-D

.

As a fresher I also used to face the same problem. Every company looks for experienced, and how come one be experienced if he doesn't gets job

Then I joined, a small company, salary was very low, but believe me, it helped me learn things, which you can't do at big companies.

SME's give you opportunists to handle the tasks and be experienced.

Nice to see so many 2010 guys.Same here.

@theterminator keep trying don't give up.not to worry..nothing is permanent in life.

Thanks a lot for the information

But I don't qualify

I'm aware of the MVC and MVVM Frameworks and I have learnt then myself, but I have no experience in it.

And I'm a graduate only, no master degree.

My teachers gave me this same advice.
I Passed out from B.com last year but with very less marks.

Its hard enough to get a decent job even for a person with good marks in B.com. so i am now trying to get a job under CA as a audit clerk or assistant just to gain experience.

Any chance for 2.5 years?

And one question. Does the probation period(2-3 month after giving resignation letter, forgot what it is called), counts towards experience? I mean now I am 2.5 years experienced, plus my company have a 3 month of probation period. So shall I be eligible for 3 years exp jobs after 2 months?

R

its called notice period

Probation period is when you join a company and you are yet to be confirmed in that company

lol

And yes, your notice period counts into your industry experience. But most of the company will look for your experience on a particular skill set as the first reference.

Example:: If you have worked for 1 year on C and then moved on to java for 2 years to complete your career experiece of 3 years, there is high chance that your experience is treated on the current skill years of 2 (on java) for a java postion than the total yrs of experience.

@arjit: Not sure, they've mentioned 3 or more. I will post it here, if i get any for < 3.
Normally when you come out of a company, they will give like a "Experience letter" stating how much months/years you worked for that company.. \
That will be taken as your Working experience..

Ahh.. thanks I took 5 minutes to recall what it is called, but failed.

I am trying to increase my exp, and you are going to decrease it.

It will be 3 I guess. All the companies expecting 3+ on average. It is rare you will find a company giving opportunity for 2+ years exp.

When we joined this average criteria was 2+, now it have been increased to 3+ :-x

Hahahahaha see.. if u are working on the same technology since day one of you getting into the company, then you need not worry. But say if you have a training period of 3 months and then got onto the live projects on the technology, then in your technology experience is only 36 - 3 months as training on the technology doesnt count as an experience either.

Hard facts..

but be prepared to be asked about these things if you try to act smart in an interview in contect of your experience.

But tech support hardly counts in experience especially when applying for dev jobs, isn't it ? btw what'd be the pay ?

dashing.sujay said:

normally it would be 2.4lpa without incentives and night allowance
If you include that then it goes to 3lpa

^What about experience ?

dashing.sujay said:

As I said, freshers
people with experience get higher CTC than what I mentioned.

Gollum said:

How much is the salary according to industry standard for Level 2 Service Desk Technician(Application support , .NET , Active Directory services , & related products ).
Having ~3 years of relevent experience in Top MNC.
Will it ever count as an experience if trying to switch to Development in a SMC or non-MNC ??? Dev. jobs are hard to find without prior experience these days , specially if you are non-engineer

.

^Unless you have contacts it is very much a dream for you in dev job. But then again I will suggest you to find support jobs in other companies & get some 6-7yrs exp.(3 more to go ) then move to management. Do PMP lvl1. And you are pretty much a manager. Few successful projects and you will get awards & rewards and recognition.

@krisnendusarkar did you get any call/message/e-mails from cg then tell me I might be able turn up the speed of processing.

@avinandan012 Sure. Thanks a lot for all the help

what is your current location?
are you able to relocate?

Kolkata. Yes I have no problem with relocation.
