Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Few options-
one speak to the consultant and understand why is it taking so long
Second check the contract you had with the consultant what is the way thru in such situations. for example- will they give the money back or any other adjustment is there.
Third- send an email to HR directly ccing the consultant and ask them that you haven't heard for three weeks and if the offer is still valid. Reason out by saying you need to resign basis the confirmation of the offer.
Fourth- keep exploring and tell the consultant as the money has been paid he should help you with more opportunities
Fifth- Please do not pay any money to consultants unless there is a documented contract clearly defining the if's and but's

Ans: Hi Neethu,

First try to resolve internally by -

Send and Email/ Regular follow up and visits to office if need be
Even if the Employee ID was not given - gather documents like offer letter/ salary slips/work emails/ resignation email and acceptance email
If nothing works then -
File a complaint to the labour commissioner in your city- you can get the details online
Submit the copies of supporting documents and get an acknowledgement. The Labour commissioner will call both the parties for concialition meeting. If the company still refuses then the case will go to the labour court.

You could also look at hiring a labour lawyer to speed up the process.

Hope this helps

Thanks
Ashwini

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

This is quite a common challenge with HR's. Keep chasing and ask for the feedback. If there is no revert continue with the search.

Multiple reasons why HR's dont revert-

Volume of applications
Lengthy or delayed process
Lack of feedback culture

Important is you focus on what you can control. In the given situation you can not control if there is no revert. What you can control- following up with the HR for sometime/ apply other jobs/ keep networking/ work on yourself.

All the best

Ans: Dear Sir/Madam,

If you feel you are stagnated you can definitely look for internal jobs before going outside the firm. If you are happy with the culture, firm and people then try for internal options. External jobs should be the last premise if nothing has worked at all for you.

I am not sure what SME you are into. But you can definitely look at pursuing certifications in combinations of domain and technology which is very much in demand. Do some research of the industry and skill you are in and work towards it.

All the best
Hope this helps

Thanks
Ashwini
www.ashwinidasgupta.com

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

It totally depends on the policy of the company. Please go back and check the policy. Speak to HR and understand how does it work and how can they help close this positively. When it comes to polices not much one can do. If they want to go a certain there is no or very possibility of you convincing them. Instead request them to help you to come to a win win situation.
Tip do not burn the bridges with anyone in the existing company.

Hope this helps

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Learning never stops. Until you get a job you can definitely look at upskilling yourself as per your interest. By not doing anything it will only stress you instead use the time and learn a new skill and in parallel keep the job hunt on.

Ans: Hi Shubham,

Please provide all the documents you have related to the employer. For example- Appointment letters/ Salary slips and Bank Statements. This should help them. For verfication you may help them with any of the contact details of your managers you were reporting to. They can call them and get the verification done. I hoping this should help you resolve the issue on the verification front atleast. Secondly hiding the name of the employer you need to have a solid strong reason. Going forward please avoid hiding the details as every company today does background check. This may end up putting you at risk. For now please speak to them and help them understand the situation.

All the best.

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Could you please clearly sight out what your goal?

Thanks
Ashwini

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Most importantly do the course what resonates with your more. What's your inclination. Everyone will come and help you with the information at the end do what will make you happy. Else you may end up doing what others are saying and you may not enjoy it in the long run. If you inclined towards both finance and technical then you can do the finance course as it will serve as the domain expertise and work on the technology front.

Whatever you choose should align with your motivation and not only with financial goals.

Thanks
Ashwini

Ans: Dear Sir,
Few of the consideration you may look at-

Have an open and honest conversation laying down the facts. Ensure the conversation is calm and composed and not pointing out at each other. Express you concerns, fears and impact that it will have on the relationships and on your mental health.

Explore compromises at both the ends that would work for you. For example- can your wife manage the business remotely for part of the time or could you both agree on a trial period in bangalore? Discuss how can you support each other's goal while maintaining each other's stability.

Consider your career and well being- If relocating to Bangalore is not viable for you professionally, discuss alternative ways to support your wife’s business venture while staying in Gurgaon or finding a middle ground.

Seek professional guidance- You may wish to consider a counselor who can guide you both and help come with a midway

Focus on the bigger picture- Analyses a bit who to see how you both can help each other.

At any given point of time if you feel overwhelmed then dont hesitate to take the professional help. Emotional and metal health is of utmost important.

Author of Confidence Decoded. Is it a skill or attitude?

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Please consider the following steps-

Consider adjusting expectations- It may happen the employers are finding you over qualified. By this I dont mean you go down on your designation and the money ( here, you can take a decision ). It's always good to have an open conversation with the employer on this front.

Tailor your applications as per the job you are applying. Make it more customized. One size will not fit all.

Leverage your network

Explore consulting or contractual roles in the interim. All that you know this option may turn out to be permanent.

Be persistent. Getting a job can take time.

All the best.

Seek out for scholarships grants, fellowships, and other funding opportunities to help cover other expenses.

Look for distance learning or open universities- they have low tuition costs
Look for a sponsorship- maybe your current employer if you are working. Few organizations support it.

Regarding the use of the title "Doctor" before your name after completing a Ph.D., it's generally accepted practice to use the title "Dr." as a prefix once you have earned a doctoral degree. Well, it differs from country to country.

Focus on networking
Look for a mentor and seek guidance
Understand and navigate the culture of the organization.

Focus on the aspects that can be controlled. Put your energy around the same. You can not control all the aspects at work. The choice is with you. The more you focus on the aspect (in this case favoritism) it will only drain you emotionally. I am sure you must be experiencing the current situation. Hence focus on what you can control which is your work, your performance, and your growth.

Ans: Hi Mam,

It's disheartening to see that you are facing gender and age biases at workplace and I feel happy you have realized this is a biased behavior. Few aspects you can look at -

Engage in mentorship programs and professional networking. Connecting with both younger and more experienced professionals can help break down stereotypes and foster a more supportive work environment.

Educate and speak to your higher up’s / Hr to organize workshops, or training sessions that promote diversity and inclusion. Encourage open conversations about age and gender biases and their impact on the workplace.

If you feel comfortable, consider having a private and professional conversation with the colleagues making such remarks. Share your perspective, experiences, and the impact of their comments on a collaborative work environment.

Identify allies within your workplace who share your views on diversity and inclusion. Collaborate with them to address bias collectively and create a more inclusive workplace culture.

Your skills, experience, and contributions are valuable at any age. By actively addressing bias and promoting a more inclusive workplace culture, you contribute not only to your own professional growth but also to the positive transformation of the workplace for others. In my opinion speak about it.

Hope this helps

Author of Confidence Decoded. Is it a Skill or Attitude?

Ans: Hi Sir/ Madam,

Always changing a job may not be the solution.
Firstly have a conversation with your manager and voice out your aspiration and what will keep you motivate.
List out the kind of courses or trainings you may want to pursue to enhance your professional experience. And see if these trainings are done internally or if yes take up those trainings and if it externally you can decide accordingly. This will help you learn a new skills and drift your thought of been dis motivated. Mostly importantly learning a new will only do good for your career opportunity.
If incase there are no roles within the team then you may look for within organizational roles to meet your ask.
Do some research how the industry is trending this will help you more equipped when you those conversations with your manager.

Hope this helps. All the best
