    lara i would suggest you to go for voluntary job option many times they will hire you in casual basis and if not you get experience certificate from them which you might use them for future use ....

    Also clearly state what do you want to change from IT ....... my suggestion is if you are in line of frustration try to remove your over qualification from your resume and apply for basic roles like call centre ,reception etc etc .... this might create networking and work best for you

    BBD,Yes I would like to change from IT.Do you suggest me to manipulate my skills related to admin more than IT to avoid overqualification. Hope I am not bothering you a lot by keep on asking questions related to job hunt

    Not really Lara it is my pleasure helping others if i had a company i would have employed all smart people (indian ) but i could only direct them at this stage ... if you would like to jump into admin use Keep It Simple (KIS) concept in your resume and remove all your previous experience in IT and emphasis on admin skills and experience ..
