Question by S on Jun 01, 2023Hindi

I am 47 yrs old, working as RSM. My career has stagnated for past 10 years due to wrong career decision ( change of jobs, choosing wrong profile, compromising on salary etc..). Now when i am looking for change, i am overaged for Regional positions, but lack experience for GM positions. What can i do. I am earning just 14 lacs inspite having exp of 23 yrs and been associated with MNCs. I am a B Tech MBA graduate !?

Ans: Dear S,
Yes, your career has strangled due to some wrong decisions. In order to strengthen yourself, you must try to improve on your skills and try to make friendship with the top management for better growth. This is the best option.
Other wise, you can look for better positions in other organizations once you get the right opportunity
This is a relatively risky proposition. .

Question by Anonymous - Mar 18, 2021Hindi

Hello Mayank,I am a commerce graduate and have around 15 years of experience in back office operations.I am currently working at the document management department in an oil and gas MNC at a designation equivalent to that of a senior clerk.I am nearing 40 and I will be losing my current job in the next few months.My problem is that I am searching for a new job since one year but not getting any interviews. I guess this is due to my age (I am 40 and still at the clerical level) and my salary (around Rs 50,000) which is a bit on higher side with respect to my designation in my city.I don't have the skillsets or attitude for a team leader or managerial position.At present, I am not in a financial and mental state to acquire new skill sets, learn new things or start new businesses which are obvious suggestions.I can't work in BPOs as they don't hire associates at this salary and particularly at this age. Besides, I am not comfortable working night shifts.Could you suggest some different solution to my problem as I have already figured out/tried the common ones.Thanks in advance.Name withheld on request.

Ans:

Hi.

Your question has so many ‘I can't’ statements that you have yourself ruled out many feasible options.

Please remember that, in the job market, there are many more qualified people than there are decent jobs. So you will certainly need to change your mindset and be flexible to adapt and learn new skill sets.

Even Sachin Tendulkar had to adapt to T-20 to play the IPL!

Approach the situation with a positive mindset and things will work out for you.
