No Prior Work Experience at 36: What Options Exist for Me?

Ans: Thank you for sharing your age, education and experience! Here are some tips to help you:

You have several career options to explore with science background and experience by considering roles that align with your skills which include job openings such as project management, digital marketing, business analysis, customer service or business consulting. You can search job opportunities online in industries where your skills are transferable, such as healthcare, technology, finance or education to leverage your past experience for a long term career. You may also consider further education to enhance your qualification for the specific roles in your field of interest and focus on finding a job that offers great growth opportunities to work abroad.

Always remember that we are always the same age inside. We should start referring to “age” as “levels” in the corporate sector. “I‘m at level 42” will sound better. Best of luck! Feel free to contact me on Rediff Gurus if you require additional guidance or assistance.

Ans: Hi,
Since you are already 47 and worked in the IT field, you should try to find a job in the same field. There is a good demand of AWS. If you seriously look for the job, you can easily get one.

Ans: Dear Retaik,
The very fact that you have been a constant learner is your strength, let this be your USP. You have switched jobs and tried various types of jobs, this is also learning, don't you think so? Now do a proper pen and paper exercise, write down all that you have learnt and the jobs you have done, there maybe something that really struck a chord with you, something which you thoroughly enjoyed, this is where you need to work, build expertise and rise vertically now. Continue to learn and grow... all the very best!
