Question by Irfan: Was a Tech Support for 1.5 yrs, want to be a programmer.I am very good in .Net. How do I make a career change?
passed out as Mechanical Engg in 2002. Was not interested in Mech jobs and IT was sick at that time.So could not get into a software compny. Worked as Tech Support for a reputed MNC for 1.5 years, then I quit the job and learned VB.Net.ASP.Net,C#.Net, SQL Server. I seriously want to be programmer. But consultants and companies neglect tech support exp and do not care for anyone who wants a career change. How do I make a career shift? Do I have to fake my experience as most of the people do? Do I have a straight and honest way before I try the wrong way out?
Additional Details: I am a MCP (web apps with C#) and also have several Brainbench certifications. I am from India.

I’m sure there are companies who is willing to hire programmers with no experience. They may not pay as much as you like, but they are out there.
Another tip that might help is to get professional certification, particularly from Microsoft. The seal of approval will go a long ways.
www.devbistro.com and www.mindcracker.com
are a good web site to post your resume.
You may also want to try working as an independent to get some experience before entering full time position. www.scguild.org is a good site for IT consultants.
Best wishes.
