Hi, I have resigned from my current job as a software engineer in a reputed IT firm, but I don't have any other job at hand. The resignation was imminent as there was no growth here, and shifts are not scheduled as per company policy. When I raised the concern to HR, my manager threatened to terminate me. Currently, I am serving a notice period of 2 months. I would like to know if I don't secure a job within these 2 months, will other employers reject me due to the employment gap. What would be a safe period within which to secure another job to avoid rejection of my resume by other firms?

I understand your concern about what will happen if you do not get a job within the notice period. Relax, buddy. Nothing will happen. No company in India can reject you on the basis of your gap. There could be hundreds of reasons behind the gap, and it is not possible to state every reason.
So, enjoy your notice period and start your expedition of job hunting with full force. If you feel you are capable enough, you will definitely get a job. Drop me a personal message. Let's see if I can do something.
Warm regards,

I fully endorse what Deepa Bhatia and Ashish have said. Getting a job within the stipulated "notice period" time just ensures you get a job to rest your anxiety, and you are in a bargain-able mode. The other aspect is your convenience of location and in the area of technical expertise. You've not mentioned the number of years of experience you carry; however, keep all your options open and also keep yourself open to migration. Places like Pune, Chennai, and Bangalore have several openings. Anil Nagpal has posted a contact; I believe you should pursue that as well.
Have a nice resume made and get it circulated.
Encouragement and Self-Efficacy
I am doing what William Barclay said, "One of the highest of human duties is the duty of encouragement. It is easy to laugh at men's ideals; it is easy to pour cold water on their enthusiasm; it is easy to discourage others. The world is full of discouragers. We have a duty to encourage one another. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet."
People's beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect upon abilities. Ability is not a fixed property; there is a huge variability in how you perform. People who have a sense of self-efficacy bounce back from failure; they approach things in terms of how to handle them rather than worrying about what can go wrong. When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt. People are not to be judged by their looks, habits, and appearances; but by the character of their lives and conversations, and by their works. Prepare yourself well for the interviews that will come around. Do not be airy-fairy about the technical stuff. Brush your fundamentals up.
Be Patient, But Proactive
Rock in your interviews. Best wishes. Be in touch and please do let this community know what's happening with you.
