How to find a job after gap years in working at different companies?

An Electrical Engineer not ready to work in a manufacturing environment, Then you have to think of a job in the IT field with your Engineering degree. But most of the well established IT firms will be taking fresh graduates only. But you passed the degree 3 years back. So big IT companies may not prefer.
I suggest you think of becoming an insurance assessor. As you have an Engineering degree you are eligible for this. You have to enrol as a trainee surveyor with IRDA. You have to join under a senior surveyor and complete a one-year training under him. Then you can attend the surveyor examination. This examination will be conducted by IRDA once in three months, You can pass the examination one subject after another subject and there is no rule that you have to pass total subjects in one attempt. Minimum qualifying mark is 60%. Once you complete this training you can be a lead surveyor. You have to apply for an IRDA licence.
There are many job opportunities in private sector insurance companies. licensed people are less. you can work independently for various government and private sector insurance companies. You have to get yourself empanelled with them. They will use your services for settling their claims. The fee will be based on the Organisation and type of work you are undertaking.

As mentioned by you can do some courses like Python and try for a job in the AI field. You can also try in some small companies as a software engineer and once you put up some experience you can try your luck in big companies. You can also do a certificate course in Digital Marketing and try for online jobs in that area.

You can upload your profile on naukri.com which is best in terms of finding a suitable job. In terms of the gap, it does not really matter in case you can justify with genuine reasons that you were not well or maybe had to take care of your parents or doing something else. It's about how well you present to your new firm. You can also be fair enough by saying the truth to the employer and most of the cases in case the employer is broad-minded and understand the issues which are practical and also happy enough to see that you are being honest may consider you for the vacancy but it purely depends on the mindset of the employer and also on what he prioritizes. Some employer looks for a well-qualified guy, intellect person, experienced person, loyal employee. I mean many employers have different preferences and it is bit difficult to understand what they are looking for but you can try being honest and check if that works. Frankly, it works as I have also been into recruitment and personally I used to prefer people who were honest and which used to make me feel that in case he/she is being honest they will remain honest at work as well and as well as with me/company. Also, I found the same with my seniors and my boss's preference.

Since your into B Tech and Electronic Engineering, you can also think of something on wireless industries like Antenna manufacturing, Radio /Wireless Technology focused firms, and opt for the various roles over there like designing, quality, etc. Data Science has definitely gained a popularity these days and you can also try looking for opportunities in the domain.

You will definitely find jobs during these times as well as many companies are hiring for various roles. Many organizations are conducting the whole recruitment and interview virtually and many are also calling the candidates to the office for final round.Please keep looking and you will definitely find one.

Don't loose your heart that you have been sacked twice with your previous employers. It is nothing but a bad nightmare and you are probably under the grip of undue strain following such sackings. You need to start a fresh with a renewed vigour. At least two parameters are essential in your case the first thing which comes in mind is that you go thoroughly through the texts of your stream and update your knowledge and the second one is to improve your skills in both oral and writing. The second point is also important since the employers would watch you how far you are able to represent the facts relating to topics raised by the employer while you are on the interview. If required, strength this skill with some professional institute.
Apply through Naukari.com or in a similar website. These platforms would provide you opportunity to interact with the experts of the company of your area and the duration of interview will last for at least 45 minutes or even more if you are comfortable with their response. They would assess your inner potential with the series of questions. Take care that you should not show over smartness with some wrong projection. Honest but detailed explanations of the queries asked by the employers would impress them. There is every chance of getting back a job with a lucrative offer in your stream.

You are a B.Tech graduate in Electrical Engineering with a years experience of six months each in 2 different companies that focused on control panels(MCC, PCC, PLC, APFC, Starter panel, etc), its design, material take-off, panel drawing, documentation, testing, etc and so you are familiar with the above-mentioned profile work. As you also mentioned that you were fired from both the companies within 6 months but you have not mentioned the reason for it and so leaving it aside, I would say, you need to register with online job-search portals like Monster.com, naukri.com, Bayt.com, Timesjob.com, LinkedIn.com, CareerBuilder.com, etc so that they can help you find your appropriate job.

You have mentioned that you have a problem of staying in a factory environment and visiting hazardous sites, so would like to change your profile and it is good that you have thought of it at the early stage. As you are already undergoing online training in Applied AI course, you can apply as a design engineer, Development and Test Engineers, radar and navigation systems engineer, communications systems engineer, global positioning systems (GPSs) engineer, Systems Engineer, etc.

As you are a graduate, you can even try government exams like UPSE, Banking exam, clear National Eligibility Test(NET) and apply for the post of Assistant Professor and/or Junior Research Fellowship award in Indian universities and colleges, Railway exam, other government exams which will keep you away from hazardous and factory environment.

One thing that you need to be prepared is you 3 years gap that you have after completing your B.Tech Engineering course in 2017 as this will be asked by every recruiter and they need to get to the point answer or else, it can make a black mark. So prepare well with an answer which feels realistic and decent. All the best Anirban Roy and do well.

Well, I'd suppose you could get started off first by applying for a few short-term courses (for upgrading your skillset) which can be taken online as well from reputed organizations. As suggested by other members Data Analytics is a good field with lot of scope. Additional to this you could also prepare for an entrace test so as to secure a government job. Also you could go about freelancing, this particular option however is good only if you're really good at the task that you're given and have a reputed profile.

Best of Luck !!!

With an electrical engineering degree and interest in computer science there are definitely some job opportunities for you and I can suggest some areas where you can make a choice and then focus for making a career. Do not worry for the gap of 2-3 years in your career. Keep a watch on various positions being advertised in the internet job portals and wherever suitable apply for those positions.

There are many opportunities here from wholesale sales to retail sales and once the volume of business picks up then there is no going back in the business line. Generally we feel that business is not our cup of tea. But if we wholeheartedly try it we might be surprised with our success.

There are many opportunities for a person who had passed B.Tech. (Electrical). First assess yourself about your age and eligibility to apply to government and public sector jobs.

If you want, you can make a career in the following fields

Research in Electric Engineering

Institutes and companies are also investing for research in new fields for electrical engineering graduates. In these areas, such as distributed grid control, smart grids, sources of non-conventional energy, extracting oil and gas from the sea, many research projects in the energy sector can be found to electrical engineers.

Job in data digitization sector

The government and individuals are focusing on increasing data digitization and networks. In such a situation, electrical graduates are most likely to get jobs in the field of network and communication.
