Career

Hi, I am 53 years old and recently lost my job. I have been trying very hard to secure a new position but see no possibilities so far. My applications often get rejected for being overqualified in my own industry. I have tried applying to other industries, but they do not consider my candidature. I am an electronics engineer with around 24 years of experience in technical sales, software solutions, and system integration. Do you have any suggestions for courses or certifications that could help me transition to another sector? I believe I still have 10 more productive years to work.

Ans: Yes, Why not. Just go for a certification course in AI and Machine Learning from a reputed institute which is having collaboration with an established IIT like Bombay/Roorkee. It will help you a lot. If you don't have knowledge about coding then before joining the course practise coding by viewing the good YOU TUBE videos. Just follow me. Best of luck. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

It would be a good idea to take up a course which helps you sharpen your core skills or take up something which will bring a smile on your face.

Career

I am working for more than 12 years and does not have a clarity on my experience. I have been into multiple LOB due to financial concerns and there was no one to provide guidance about the career path and career growth. I have been rejected by employers due to age factor and want to pursue a career in AML/KYC/Compliance. People often talk about the difficulty in clearing certification courses which makes me feel deflated and feel like I cannot proceed ahead. Please guide how I can avoid all and have a fruitful career

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Please look into the following aspects

Clarify Your Goals- take some time to understand what is your interest. Identify your strengths, interests and now consider them aligning it with AML/ KYS / Compliance or any other. Have focus. It's good to hear other's opinions at the end you have to deep dive and see what you want to do.

Look for a mentor or guidance in the area of your interest. For example if you are keen to pursue AML/ KYC and Compliance then look for someone from the same industry who can guide you better and what steps you need to take to prepare yourself to get the success and clear the exams.

Secondly age is something we can not anything about instead focus on the skills you bring on the table.

Increase your networking and connections this should help you land where to aim to.

Mostly important be positive and focussed. People are going to speak out their opinions the only thing you can do is make a choice and stick to that.

Hope this helps

Thanks and Regards
