How can I survive as Developer?

Question

I am a good and curious developer with over 4 years of experience. But in my 4 years of experience I hardly created 6 web application using Wordpress and ASP.NET Webforms as my work place demand.

Now my problem is every one asks for ASP.NET MVC and all new buzzing words. It's hard for me to convince that I can work with MVC, and cannot get a position even as a Junior Developer. It's really getting tougher for me. Any advices will be helpful.

Thanks.

What you are facing is due to comfort zone in those 4 years I am not sure if you tried to sense the market trend and change your technology career focus towards upcoming technologies like you just mentioned. Now what has happened has happened. So think about next step. I suggest you start learning MVC and convert your ASP .NET application (any one which is simplest) to MVC. This will serve two purposes one you will learn MVC and second you can tell people that you have done an MVC project. No replacement of continuous learning. Hope this helps. Best Wishes.
