Ask For Help

Why HR won’t consider the Freelance work either in same or different field in an Interview?

I want to ask a question from all my dear seniors and friends about facing interview for fresher. 

While doing my engineering in electronics and communication from kurukshetra university, i learned about some web technologies after getting interested into blogging. Web designing quite interests me. Till my final year, i have make myself experienced in web technologies like php or wordpress development. 

After learning all these i started getting clients and complete the projects which got from them. As i am in electronics, so i need to take some training for electronics also and i will do the same as teachers suggested me to take some training on electronics technologies. 

When i appeared for my first interview for Zamil Group, a saudi arabia based company, i mentions all my trainings and freelance experience, i got from by self learning web technologies.

Then why interviews don’t even consider these trainings you have done and your passion for learning on your own, even though it’s not from your line of study. 

What will be the solution for freshers in these vast technologies field like electronics, where after getting training by paying big amount of money and making projects and all that. 

i would like to get some comments from HR recruiting in engineering field or others also. 

Need your reviews and suggestions ?

  1. Rahul,

    There are many instances where people do not value things done outside the usual curriculam especially companies based in Middle East. I would recommend you apply to startups or identify companies which value innovation( The information can be found online).

    Also get answers to these questions.

    How many interviews have you got so far?? Have you checked with the interviewers the reasons of rejection? There could be other reasons too which you might not able to gauge right now.

  2. Thanks Amit Ji, 

    For you valuable reply. May be sometimes some  interviewers are not interested in telling you the exact reason of you rejection. Till now i had faced about 4 interviews and i also try to ask interviewer reason of my rejection, they just casually said that you are not up to the mark. 

    But still i will follow your suggestion and try to go for what u said.
