Hi Pawan,

My suggestion to you is to learn automation to better market yourself in the IT testing industry. Make sure you learn atleast one automation tool like QTP, Winrunner, Selenium, etc or any scripting language like perl, shell, tcl, python, etc. It all depends on your interest in career. More skills you acquire, visibility will be more. Automation skills is definitely an added advantage in your career.
