Dear sir I have completed my degree in mechanical.. now I'm also work a private company roto moulding engineer from past 6year but job opportunities in this field is to rear now I'm 28yeras old ...what should I do job Change other wise try another job with my actual field?

Ans: Six year of expereince in an engineerign firm would make you both a good practicing engineer with sound project managment and man management skills. Speak to your collegaues and seniors that you are fully eperiences and ready to take on a bigger role. It is easier to gain growth in a company you have spent 6 years rather than looking for opportunitiy in another industry, in another company. Also continue to do cerification in Project Maagement, or a further program in your company's area of speiclisation.

Ans: Given your background in mechanical engineering and your experience as a production engineer in the roto molding department, you have a solid foundation that can lead to various career opportunities in plastics manufacturing, injection molding, packaging, or consumer goods production, design engineering, quality assurance, maintenance, or project management. If you have a passion for innovation and entrepreneurship, consider starting your own business in the manufacturing or engineering sectors. You could use your expertise to develop new products, improve existing processes, or provide consulting services to other businesses. Conduct market research to identify potential opportunities and create a business plan to outline your goals and strategies. Take advantage of online resources, workshops, and training programs to develop new skills and stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in mechanical engineering. This could include learning programming languages, gaining proficiency in software tools, or acquiring knowledge in emerging fields like additive manufacturing or sustainable engineering. Utilize your professional network, including colleagues, classmates, and industry contacts, to explore job opportunities and gather insights about different career paths. Attend industry events, job fairs, and networking seminars to expand your connections and learn about potential openings in your field.

Remember to assess your interests, strengths, and long-term career goals before making any decisions. Take the time to research and explore these different options as well.

Hi, I am a mechanical engineer and having been working in the field of power plant from last 12 years. I don't enjoy my work now and feel that I am not meant for this job as I see no growth in my career. I'm 36 now and can't think of anything new as I don't think I can't enter into a new field at this age. No one will prefer me. What should I do?
Ans: Feeling stuck in your current career path is a common experience, but it's important to remember that it's never too late to make a change. Take some time to reflect on your skills, interests, values, and strengths. Consider what aspects of your current job you enjoy and what you would like to do differently in your next career move. Research other career paths and industries that align with your interests and transferable skills. Look for opportunities where your mechanical engineering background and experience in power plants could be valuable, such as in renewable energy, sustainability, project management, or technical sales. Identify any gaps in your skills or knowledge that may be necessary for transitioning to a new field. Consider taking courses, certifications, or workshops to acquire new skills or enhance existing ones. Many online platforms offer flexible learning options that you can pursue while still working. Reach out to your professional network, including colleagues, mentors, former classmates, and industry contacts. Inform them of your career interests and ask for advice, informational interviews, or referrals to potential employers or opportunities in your desired field. Evaluate whether pursuing additional education, such as a master's degree or specialized certification, would be beneficial for your career transition. Some programs offer opportunities for mid-career professionals to gain new skills and credentials. Look for volunteer or internship opportunities in your target industry or field. This can be a valuable way to gain hands-on experience, expand your network, and test out whether a new career path is the right fit for you before making a full transition.

Plastic-Aesthetic Surgeon, Emergency Care Consultant - Answered on Dec 05, 2024

Health
Dear Doctor, I work as a corporate lawyer in Delhi. I’ve been considering undergoing a cosmetic procedure for my skin for some time now, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of surgeons available. I want to ensure that I choose someone who is experienced, as this is a big decision for me. Could you advise what I should look for when selecting a plastic-aesthetic surgeon? Are there any specific red flags I should be aware of when researching potential surgeons? I want to make sure I’m in safe hands. I’m 40 years old.
Ans: This is a beautiful question.
Before I dwell on your question, there are a few points which are very important for the patient to know.
1. You should roughly know what result you wish to have.
2. Never think of a perfect result. There is no such result.
3. You must think in terms of improvement and if you are sble to achieve more than 90% approx, it can be considred good.
4. Dont compare your results with any celebrity's result. There body structure is different, they have probably taken better care till now and importantly, the result you see on a public platform is after make up and not the real result. Some times it may be a photoshopped image
5. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history and addictions.
6. Don't go with pre concieved notion (especially if you have researched a lot online). Discuss with the doctor, listen to his/ her views and raise your concerns if any
7. Try and see some results of the doctors work (Remember, too good a result may not be the true result). Realistic result is what you should want to look at and believe.
8. Don't fall for less budget! its obvious a meticulous job needs more surgical time. This means that the doctor may charge more. Seniority also adds to the cost.
What I mean, there is a price to be paid for a good job.(whether medical or anywhere).
Now coming to the Plastic surgeon's choice.
1. Research well, but dont fall prey to only advertisement. Small and big centers, both advertise,
2. Dont fall for glamour. You are going to a surgeon. A plastic surgeon's clinic is clean but not lavish generally. At least I believe that the person coming is not a client, but a patient. A patient - Doctor relationship is more pure than a client-Professional relationship.
3. Talk and discuss with the doctor. A too busy doctor may not always be the best doctor for you. Plastic surgery is about thinking, planning and execution. A doctor who thinks aloud about your problem ( especially if ut us face, nose, breast etc) is applying his/ her knowledge for your betterment, because every oerson is different.
4. Check the resilts? Look for genuinity.
5. Be wary of arrogant, loud and boisterous people. There is a difference between confidence and fambloyence.
6. Doctors who are attached to reputed hospitals are generally good in their work.
7. A doctor who can talk about probable complications is also a doctor worth trusting.
I hope I am able to do justice to this difficult question. All the best. You can write again if you need any other clarifications.
