Dear Pradeep Sir I am at age 50 and after working 26 years in corporate world I HAVE LOST MY JOB.fOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS i AM TRYING MY LEVEL BEST TO GET THE JOB BUT NOT SUCESSFUL PLS GUIDE WHAT SHALL I DO.

Ans: Dear Mukesh ji, There are many like you who suffer from Mid career crisis after loosing their jobs due to any reason. Since it is not clear from your query about the job profile you held and your academic /professional/Technical qualifications , hence I am unable to suggest however there are many private organisations in service sector like Hotel / Travel &tourism/ NBFCs/ Retail / Automobile Dealerships/ Coaching Institutions / Schools / Colleges in Admin / Security Services / Real estate like companies you may get options . You may have to compromise on the salary package and other perks . You may take help of job consultancies who are arrange interviews for you .
