I got a job in campus selection and had to pay an amount towards the training fee. The training was supposed to be over within 3 months, including on-the-job training. However, we were sent for OJT by the end of the 4th month, and the company induction took place at the start of the 6th month. After working for 1 month, I was asked to go on reserve at the head office in Gurgaon, as there were no projects available. I had been in training for 6 months and was told to sit idle at the head office. It was mentioned that the travel expenses would be borne by me. I had to leave the job as they were hindering my growth and job prospects in every way. I didn't receive any experience certificate or a relieving letter. As a result, I have been facing these issues for years. I had no choice at that time, as the regional manager was constantly shouting and never supported me at any stage.
In an interview, I would express my experience honestly, highlighting the challenges I faced in that role and how it impacted my career growth. I am seeking a good job at reputable companies, but I have been facing rejection consistently. It feels unfair to me. Does anyone leave a company without any valid reasons?
I hope to be treated fairly and given the opportunity to prove my capabilities in a supportive work environment.

What do you mean by suffering all these years? For how many years have you been suffering? What are you doing at present? Just because one wishes to have a good job in a good place, it won't happen. Have you tried to find out why they are rejecting you?

Don't lose heart. People go through difficult periods in their personal as well as professional lives. Just hang in there and have patience. Things will work out soon. It always does. Life is like a rollercoaster. What comes down goes up, as well.

I second after Mr. Simhan wanna say that you need to be more specific with your query.
Second, as you know that you are getting rejected, as Mr. Simhan asked, you need to find out the reason for this. You actually need to go through it. I understand that the situation and the circumstances can be the reasons that made you feel to leave the job, but what I feel is that you had to show patience but you didn't, and now seeing the consequences.
Second, you said above that you didn't get any experience and are suffering, implying that you were never employed. Is that true?
Third, there is no need to express yourself with these things that you have experienced, but you need to be confident in your qualifications, training, and skills that you have earned. This can help you, but it seems you are not so sure about yourself, and your lack of confidence is actually showing to me through this query. I don't know what is actually going on with you because you have not shared much here, but I have had many discussions with the same kind of query; therefore, I can say this to you.
Please share more about it and answer the question that Mr. Simhan has asked you above.

Mr. Simhan, Mr. Kaushik, Mr. AK Arora, your replies are valuable to me.
I couldn't work too long, but I shall explain everything I experienced.
I worked as a trainer in networking for 14 months. I desired a career change and was planning to go overseas. I submitted my resignation as I got a chance to go. However, the embassy attestation of my degree certificate took longer than expected, resulting in my visa expiring. Consequently, I am currently jobless, but I am undertaking a course on VOIP.
I often face rejections when I mention my lack of experience and re-leaving letter. If you are patient enough to listen to the entire process, I will explain.
1. I secured a campus placement in a GSM tower installation company.
2. I paid an amount of 42,000 for 2 months of training and 1 month of on-the-job training.
3. The training commenced in October 2009 and concluded in January, followed by a 15-day on-the-job training.
4. An induction was conducted in March, during which I did not receive any pay or stipends.
5. A project was assigned in April at a location requiring 2 days of travel.
6. Upon arrival, they questioned why I was sent there as there weren't many projects.
7. I worked there until the end of the month and was then sent back to the head office to be placed on standby.
8. I had to travel back to the head office, bearing the expenses myself.
During the training, we had to request several times for on-the-job training, and after that, we asked multiple times for induction, which was supposed to be completed by the end of January.
How can I address this gap in my resume without justifying my actions? I don't wish to complain during interviews as it may hinder my chances. I am seeking your guidance and support.
I don't want to be overlooked. I worked diligently during my training and the short period of employment, performing tasks beyond a supervisor or engineer's role, such as climbing towers, pulling up antennas, and handling tower devices using pulleys.
Please consider my situation and offer your assistance. I am in dire need of a job and want to present my experience in a positive light.
Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for the information. Have you not worked since 2010? If so, why? You do not have to "bad mouth" your previous employer. You can tell them that the expected project did not materialize; the employer had hoped that they would get the contract and it did not materialize, and hence, all the staff were put on hold. As you could not wait, you left them.

I tried the same job in my native place; there also, the projects were dull. Then I got a chance to work as a trainer. For 6 months, I worked on a contract and then got a permanent trainer post.
I worked as a trainer in computer networking from January 2011 to March 2012.
