Hello Yograj,
It's good that you have listened to the sound advice of so many members - some from their own experience and others by virtue of being in HR, seeing both sides of such situations. However, your ACTUAL problem/issue STILL REMAINS to be resolved. Please let the Forum know if you have any plans/ways in mind to handle your primary concern - GETTING A JOB ASAP.
Let's take it from there and see how best this Forum can assist your search. Anil has already suggested a few angles - please give your remarks regarding them. There's one thing that seems missing in your background; you mentioned you have 2 years of experience in the process industry. Then why did you leave that job, WITHOUT anything in hand?
All the Best.

Hello Mr Yograj,
Some useful suggestions have been posted by senior members and I am sure you are working on them.
I wish to add my ideas and hope you would find them useful too.
You are a Mechanical Engineering Graduate with a PG Diploma in Administration and you have done
private specialization courses like Auto CADD etc.
It is very important to connect all these in your job profile.
For example, after having done CADD if you are doing only Shop Floor Maintenance,
without any scope for practical application of CADD and other courses it would not carry much weight.
Again if you are working, let us say in your drawing office using CADD and other applications,
with less or not much of human interaction, the PG Diploma may not be viewed in proper light
by any interviewer.
Acquiring additional skills is good, but it is like getting a Passport.
Like you need a Visa to go to another country, you need relevant post qualification experience.
However, if you can connect everything that you have written and the ones which are
relevant but not spelt out, put all the facts together and get the resume recast.
I am sure it will pay dividends.
Wishing you good luck in your endeavour,

Hello Sir,
Thanks for Concern..
Actually i have done a private course in Cadd Software(4 months) after my b.tech.

Hello Yograj,
Going by what you mentioned, I suggest aiming for openings where your ACTUAL experience—production in a process industry—will be beneficial.
Since your initial post in this thread mentioned 'MNC', I presume you were targeting openings in CADD areas. However, due to the lack of real experience to support your qualifications, this could be the main reason why you haven't received any calls, and the Gurgaon consultant may have tried to take advantage of this by fabricating stories.
Once you settle into a job, you can then consider applying for CADD openings again—this will ensure you are not under any mental pressure when dealing with consultants or companies. Nevertheless, keep in mind that it may still be challenging, given the same reason—lack of relevant experience. To address this, perhaps you could engage in some part-time or freelance work in CADD areas to gain and demonstrate real-time experience.
If you are still in your current production job, you might consider starting freelance work now. One advantage you currently have is that you work in shifts, so your schedule is largely clear, and planning your free time is within your control.
All the best.
