Since you have not been able to secure a suitable job you need to first of all analyze the area that you are weak in. Get your resume checked by professionals. Also check out if you lack communication skills. Work towards improving the same. Prepare for competitive examinations if interested in a government job.

Having an MBA degree in one's kitty is a proud thing. It is not a case where there are plenty of people with MBA degrees and hence you are among the few who have studied till post graduation. So here is something that gets you at an advantage and a step ahead of the rest.

However, it is true that the market does not have a plethora of jobs available for MBAs or even B.Techs but if you have the caliber and knowledge then getting a right job should not be very difficult for you. Here are a few dos and don't that you must keep in mind when you are trying to look for a job:

1. Create a nice resume/CV and put it up on all the job portals such as naukri, monster, timesjobs, shine and others. What this would do it make your candidature available for all the employers out there on those job portals and they can shortlist you for calls and interviews.

2. It is also wise to keep the profiles on these portals up to date and updated every now and then. This ensures that you are highly active about job seeking and hence would increase your visibility to the employers who usually tend to avoid profiles that have not been active for quite sometime.

3. If you have any relatives or friends who are already working with some companies, its good if you can reach out to them and request for referrals. These are people who can refer candidates to their HRs and recruitment agencies and in turn they would connect with you with appropriate job prospects.

4. If you have any provision to get placed on campus to the companies that are coming for campus recruitment, please do not let them go easily. Strive really hard to get placed in them as they are the safest and surest way to get a job from your own college. It would also ensure you get a good pay package.

5. If you are still finding it hard to get a job, I would suggest you can invest some money and start a business of your choice. Since MBA is already masters level of education there is hardly much scope left for you to study and then take job. Thus, running your own business might not help right now but would prove beneficial in the longer run.
