Hi, I have completed graduation in Computer Science and i am working in construction field since 12 years in documentation works mostly. But i am unable to get satisfied in this due to non technical knowledge. As i am unable to do the work what actually civil engineers does. I am working only with superiors support. When superiors change or if company remove me , then i cant change with this education background in this field though I have experience. So I wanted to change career but feels struck. Can any one suggest which would be best and How to switch careers?

Ans: Switching careers isn't easy, especially in the present day age and stage we are in. Get a professional to make out a resume for you to suit the job that you want to do and keep looking around. I also suggest that you do some additional courses in CS to sharpen your knowledge and core skills which will help you to change over to your core field. Till such time, learn to enjoy what you have in hand... look at what value addition you can do to your job output with your vast experience in the construction field. Also see how you can use your CS knowledge to improve systems in your current job.

Ans: Considering your 8 years of experience in construction backend operations and management, along with a B.Tech (ECE) and MBA in Marketing, it's reasonable to explore job opportunities. Apply your project management, operations, and marketing skills to roles in the construction industry, real estate, or infrastructure development. Seek positions that leverage your expertise, possibly in project management, business development, or marketing within construction firms or related industries—network within your professional circles and industry events to build contacts. Transitioning to a role with client interactions could provide a new direction for your career, allowing you to utilise both your technical and managerial skills.

Ans: I assume your reason for looking for change is posting at the site. Look for large civil engineering contractors operating in your area, explore their websites, speak to their HR / Recruitment Head and identify possible opening and see if they interest you. Also check with your batchmates if they can indicate any openings in their firms,

Ans: I would rate your diverse and rich experience most valuable only a few possess. This is your best chance to apply your experiences in jobs demanding innovative thinking as well as creative problem solving skills. You can easily pick up job and bounce back again.
