Hey Everyone.........
My name is gurpreet and I am a resident of India, I have a few queries....
this is regarding the unemployement issue.... I was working with a S/W firm and lost the job
after 2.5 year of serving the firm...........
After that I was again searching for the job and was able to get one after a gap of 5 months, but on a contract basis... but those 5 months i did lot of social service..... to be productive atleast in the time of recession......
Now I have following questions....
1) does it matter if u jumo from a permanent to a contract base position
2) Is 3 yrs of experience sufficent to get into top15-20 colleges in US
3) Does social service and extra curricular helps to make ur profile stronger
1) does it matter if u jumo from a permanent to a contract base position - No, all that matters is how you explain it
2) Is 3 yrs of experience sufficent to get into top15-20 colleges in US - Yes, some schools also trend younger, I would look into those schools also, but 3 years is sufficient.
3) Does social service and extra curricular helps to make ur profile stronger - Yes of course - I think your involvement in social service during those 5 months says a lot about you, schools will like that you took that path.
