I Resigned Due to Health Issues, But My Company Won't Provide Experience or Relieving Letter?

Ans: Hi Gokulraaj,
If you are resigning due to health issues, you can provide a medical certificate to your employer, and they should then issue your experience certificate. If they still do not provide it, you can let them know that you have no option left but to pursue legal action. I hope this helps resolve the issue.

23 Year Old Economics Graduate Wants to Switch to IT: Should I Give Up?

Ans: Hello there,
Apart from your job search, you could start volunteering for NGOs. Once you have done some interaction with NGO management, talk to them and see if you can use some of your existing skills in web development to help them in their work. That way, you would also build real portfolio projects which will distinguish you in the job market. Also, you could explore opportunities in the NGO sector once you have some experience under your belt, while you can continue to search for jobs in the tech sector if that's where you would ultimately want to work. All the best to you!

My son is being tortured at work, can he quit without finding a replacement?

Ans: Hi there, it's unfortunate that your son is experiencing this situation. Your son shouldn't share anything about the Offer Letter because that is none of the current employer's business, especially since you are apprehensive that they will play the spoilsport. You have not written the required notice period for the current company, but in either case, please review the terms of employment and even consult a lawyer who deals with labor laws, and who could provide some suggestions to help you out of this tricky situation.
