(I got barely 7.14 CGPA.) I was always good with logics and reasoning. Due to which in most of major companies I clear all interview rounds except HR (My major cracked Interview was with L&T. I failed HR there too.) Later I got internship with a BPO with 4k as sptipend. I had no choice at that time. worked there 2 months later left for Lancesoft where I worked as IT recruiter (14K). after 3 months my engagement was fixed. My mom got sick. I came home.

I then started working with Wind turbines maintenance company (8k + Accomodation + Food) worked 6 months.

Bhai HRs are the worst 🙂. I've had my fair share of woes. What I don't understand from your question is what do you want now? Suggestions on how to get a stable income? Better job opportunities?

Since you've switched so many jobs and at very low pay, I don't think recruiters will have a positive impression of you. If I were in your position, I'd consider business. Since you are an Electronics Engineer, you can easily start your own repair workshops. That won't require much initial investment. You could also get engaged with computer repair and maintenance or open up your own repairing shop. You could try reselling electronics items, they never go out of demand. And if you get contracts from engineering colleges then you'll get to sell a lot of them - be it breadboards, development boards, Arduino, Raspberry etc. You can try learning tax filing and engage with any CA firms for GST filing. Alternatively you can try opening your own GST filing centre. Similarly, a lot of people pick up those small pesky tasks and turn it into a business - Adhaar update, passport application, scholarship application etc. You can try learning Graphics Designing/Web Development/App Development and start freelancing.

I know it's easier said than done, but you can try. Whatever suits you.

Goodluck mate 😊

I have started developing a website for a person I know for free currently I lack the equipment though but I manage somehow by little by little. (From my mobile and using pc cafes. ) But I don't know how to make this my living. Since I am new to this and with a lot of debt. I am still working two jobs I wanted to update question with more details but I could not.

This could include certificate programs, vocational training, or even a master's degree in a field that interests you.
