My advice/guidance which I gave to one of the freshers who has just passed out from BE & is looking out for his first job. Thought of posting this here since it might benefit other freshers as well.
My letter to the freshly passed out job seeker

Hi,
Please correct the spelling "emplotment" - to employment in your resume. I suggest running a spell check on your resume. It would be better if you can attach a word document format of the doc instead of the pdf.
Also please add more details about your final year projects & any other projects which you had worked on during your academics.
Update these details & re-send the resume to me. I will forward it to my known contacts. But again it can only fetch you interview calls & clearing is fully dependent on how well you perform in the interview.
Here are some pointers for you on how to succeed in getting your first job.
1. Prepare well thoroughly on all the below aspects which I am going to mention. You need to remember that getting an interview call is not your ultimate goal. It is rather to get through the interview & secure the job with full preparation.
2. Typically fresher interviews consist of a written test consisting of below: (for experienced profs it will be telephonic round)
a. Technical questions involving C/C++/Operating system concepts & networking.
b. Puzzles from famous puzzle books from George Summers, Shakuntala Devi
c. Aptitude tests based on books like Barons & Agarwals.
You can prepare for such written test papers from below website. There are lots of other good sites on the internet. Just google them:
http://freshersworld.com/placementweek/papers.asp
http://www.freshers.com/
3. Once you are through with the written test, you will have a face to face interview.
a. Prepare well on concepts from electronics which is your core area based on your academic profile.
b. Prepare well on the concepts in C especially related to Pointers, Data Structures & memory management.
d. Prepare well on C++ OOPS concepts such as inheritence & virtual concepts.
e. Be thorough on the Operating System concpets (Esp. refer to book by Galvin).
Update your corrected/revised resume in below job sites:

Job consultancy websites (upload your resume here. This will fetch you calls from consultants)

www.monsters.com
www.naukri.com
www.timesjobs.com
www.jobsahead.com/
Unfortunately there are no openings for freshers in HP India currently.
Similarly Google for reputed company websites like IBM, Honeywell, CTS, EMC, Dell, Flextronics, Patni, Novell, Oracle & others,
Also, it may so happen that you might end up giving interviews with multiple companies without succeeding which is part of the job search. With each failure you learn as you keep retrying. The Key is not to give up !
All the best for your job search !
