Ans: Hello
First thing is to evaluate reasons as to why you are/feel stuck.
Is it because of limited functional exposure or industry or education or lack of opportunities outside.
It is important to identify the reason before we look for solutions.
Please evaluate & feel free to ask further.

Hello Sir! I have total versatile experience of 21 years in Back Office Operations (5 years), Procurement Manager (5 years), Program Manager of Content Development Team (4 years), Marketing – Onboarding companies for placing our students for a 3-year internship (Earn and Learn) (2 years) PA to JMD along with Recruitment Officer (at present) in one company only, working from 2003. However, when I received the role of Recruitment (from April 2021), I found it interesting and quite challenging and to discover new networks and studying the vast topic of HR. After 2 years of recruitment (self-learned the process), I enrolled in two certification programs viz. HR Analytics (from CHRMP) and HR Generalist (Payroll, Talent Acquisition and Strategic Human Resource Management) – (from Protouch with SHRM and HRCI Certification). I am trying internally for a shift in my present company however, I can’t proceed here. Simultaneously, I am looking for Talent Acquisition or Recruiter positions outside my office and applying the same but could not succeed. I feel and think, that companies might be thinking why she is shifting now and secondly, my overall experience is good, but core TA experience is 4+ years. Present CTC is Rs.14 Lakhs and I am looking for a CTC of Rs. 19 Lakhs. I request you to please guide me how I should proceed further – should I stay in my company or look outside. If looking outside for the opportunities, then what measures I should take for receiving a good job offer and salary package. Thanking you Regards, Madhuri Shinde
Ans: Hi Madhuri,
You have impressive experience and a great mindset of constant learning. My suggestion would be to continue looking for relevant roles inside your current company, where you have greater chances of success. There's no harm at all in trying outside. I would suggest reaching out to relevant folks within your company and even outside using platforms like LinkedIn. Your expectations are realistic, and you should soon land a role and the package that you're aiming for. All the best!

HELLO, I am working in old generation pvt sector Bank for the last 15 years and presently posted as Branch Manager in a metro branch. I am a math graduate and my age is 40+. I am completed JAIIB AND CAIIB. I want to switch from Banking to other sector. Please guide
Ans: Raj Sir, Please stay with the bank and don't quit until you find employment outside of the banking industry. Depending on your interests, aptitude, attitude, & personality traits and the job market trends, you will need to choose amongst alternative career options. Additionally, if you choose to transition to a different field, you need to be knowledgeable about that field and/or gain the skills and expertise that nearly all employers and recruiters require. Make a shortlist of your interests, set up job notifications on LinkedIn to learn about open positions, and continue to improve your skills through both online and offline channels. You must, however, consider the essential and noteworthy qualities or benefits that you will gain by taking these courses, such as: (a) the course's relevance; (b) accreditation and recognition; (c) the instructors' expertise; (d) the course's content and curriculum; (e) the learning format and flexibility; (f) the duration and commitment; (g) the fee structure; (h) the certifying authority and credibility; (i) evaluations and endorsements; (j) post-certification assistance/career services; (k) the evaluation and certification process; and (l) the technological framework used. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Hi My daughter get 72 percentile in jee mains 1 i dont know what happened to her otherwise she is a good student scored 94% in her 10th boards ..if i will look for some private engineering college in india pls suggest i will go with pune or will look for management quota seat for csc from banglore. Pls suggest preference order of btech college in banglore
Ans: Hello Vandana.
Requesting you not to panic at this early stage. Let her appear for JEE session 2 and the state-level engineering entrance test. Let all the results out. You have ample time to think about the available options for engineering admission. At this stage, no need to think about management quota unless and until you want a particular branch in a particular college. Depending on her score in upcoming exams, she may get admission to reputed engineering either in Pune or Bengaluru
Here are some colleges in Bengaluru: (1) R.V. College of Engineering (RVCE) (2) B.M.S. College of Engineering (BMSCE) (3) M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) (4) PES University (5) Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT) (6) Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) (7) Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (SMVIT) (8) BMS Institute of Technology and Management (BMSIT&M) (9) Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT) (10) RNS Institute of Technology (RNSIT)
Suggestion - Don't panic. Keep cool yourself. Ask your daughter to focus more on JEE 2nd attempt and state-level engineering entrance test.

If you are satisfied with the reply, pl follow me or else ask again without hesitation.
Thanks
Radheshyam
