I am having more than 22+ experience but not able to get the job, my name is sunil r nair, i am working as a software delivery head, with nothing pay like money, so what should i do to get job with good salary.
Ans: Hi Sunil,

Thank you for writing in.

Few tips to get started.

Self-Assessment: Identify your skills, interests, and strengths. It's been 22 years so by far you would have enough clarity what are your strengths and area of interests. We often tend to ignore and take it for granted due to our vast experience. Hence recommendation is to revisit your own strengths and interests.

Polish Your Resume and Cover Letter: Craft a well-written resume and cover letter that highlight your achievements, skills, and experiences. Tailor them to each job application to showcase your suitability for the role. Customize your resume as per the jobs.

Networking: Build a professional network by attending industry events, job fairs, and connecting with people on social media platforms like LinkedIn. Many jobs are found through referrals and personal connections.

Online Presence: Create a strong online presence through platforms like LinkedIn and professional portfolios. Showcase your expertise and share valuable content related to your field.

Job Search Strategies: Utilize various job search platforms, such as online job boards, company websites, and recruitment agencies. Be consistent and diligent in your job search efforts.

Prepare for Interviews: Practice common interview questions and be ready to articulate your skills and experiences confidently. Research the company and the role to demonstrate your interest and knowledge.

Focus on Soft Skills: Apart from technical skills, employers value soft skills such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and adaptability. Work on developing and showcasing these skills in interviews and on the job.

Continuous Learning: Stay updated with industry trends and advancements. Participate in workshops, webinars, and seminars to keep improving your skills and knowledge.

Professional Attitude: Demonstrate a positive and professional attitude during your job search and in interactions with potential employers. Be punctual, courteous, and responsive in your communications.

Follow Up: After interviews or submitting applications, follow up with a thank-you email or letter. It shows your interest and appreciation for the opportunity.

Be Open-Minded: Be flexible and open to exploring different job opportunities, especially if they align with your long-term career goals.

As you have been in the industry for 22 + years look at your own networks who could refer and guide you for the right opportunities. Importantly trust yourself and your abilities. Job Search requires patience. You will get there soon.

Hope this helps. All the best.

To Your Success. Be You. Be Confident.

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about your challenges in finding job opportunities in Maharashtra. Consider searching for positions in neighboring cities or regions where there may be more demand for microbiologists. Make use of online job portals and professional networking platforms to search for job openings in your field. Tailor your resume to highlight your relevant skills and experiences, and actively apply to positions that match your qualifications. Attend industry-specific events, seminars, and conferences where you can network with professionals in your field and learn about job opportunities. Join relevant industry associations or online forums to stay updated on industry trends and job openings. Identify companies in Maharashtra that may require microbiologists for research, testing, or product development purposes. Visit their websites, review their career pages, and reach out directly to inquire about job opportunities or submit your resume. Job searching can be a challenging and time-consuming process, but it's important to stay persistent and maintain a positive attitude. Celebrate small victories, stay proactive in your job search efforts, and remain confident in your abilities and qualifications. Keep refining your job search strategies, and don't hesitate to seek support from former colleagues, classmates, professors, and industry contacts who may be aware of job openings or able to provide insights into the job market.

She may opt for any of these investment avenues:

1. Post office time deposit scheme(FDs offered by post office for 1,2,3 & 5 year tenure); Joint holding allowed; Premature withdrawal allowed after 6M. (Current ROI 6.9-7.5%)

2. NSC with a fixed tenure of 5 years; No premature withdrawal allowed. Can be held jointly(Current ROI 7.7%)

3. KVP: Although tenure is 9 yrs and 5 months, you may do premature encashment after 2.5 years; joint holding allowed;(Current ROI 7.5%)

You may approach a reliable postal agent to process these investments to avoid hassle of frequent post visits and associated hardships.

These are backed by GOI so no risk of default.

Hope this meets your requirements.

I am a first year student at MIT Manipal,currently pursuing Electrical and Electronics engineering(EEE),and I am have been given a choice to apply for branch change in my institute either to CSE,Mathematics and Computing(MnC) or ECE in my second year. I did not study Computer Science in 11th and 12th, and I coding in C for the first time as part of my 1st year syllabus.I am not very much interested to coding,but I am learning it since it is there in the course syllabus. My parents suggest switching to CSE, but they are not engineers and do not have insights into the current job market. Since my batch will be passing out in 2028, I want to understand the job scenario for CSE, MnC, ECE, and EEE graduates by then. Among these,which branch provides better opportunities for core engineering jobs with good or decent salary and stability? I have heard that many ECE graduates end up in IT jobs due to lack of core industries-is that true?Would ECE be a better alternative to CSE for core jobs or is it better to stay in EEE? Also between CSE, ECE, and EEE, which has less competition in the job market while still offering good career prospects? Additionally, I want to know which branch is broader, with ample opportunities in both the government and private sectors, especially for core jobs with good pay and stability. base on futuret rends, would it be a wise decision to change my branch, or should I continue with EEE?
Ans: Happy to see that you have asked very logical questions. I can say that, since you are already in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) at MIT Manipal and have the opportunity to change to CSE, Mathematics and Computing (MnC), or ECE, your decision should be based on:


Your Interests (Core Engineering vs Coding)
Job Market Trends for 2028 and Beyond
Competition & Industry Demand

Future Job Market (2028 & Beyond) for Each Branch
Branch Core Job Scope IT/Software Jobs Govt Jobs Competition Salary Stability
CSE Low (Software Focused) High Limited Very High High but Unstable
MnC Medium (AI/ML, Finance) High Limited High High but Research-Oriented
ECE Medium (VLSI, Chip Design, Telecom, IoT) High Moderate (ISRO, DRDO, PSU) High Medium-High
EEE High (Power, EVs, Automation, Energy, PSU) Moderate High (Railways, NTPC, BHEL, Govt) Low-Medium High & Stable

Should You Switch to CSE, MnC, or ECE?
If You Want Core Engineering Jobs with Stability
Best Option: Stay in EEE

If You Want a Balance Between Core & Software Jobs
Best Option: ECE

If You Want a High-Paying Private Sector Career (But Not Core Engineering)
Best Option: MnC or CSE

Hope this will help you in decision making.

Ans: Hello;

6 L worth investment in 18 different funds is spreading it too thin.

You have a time horizon of 10 years but how much corpus you want to accumulate after 10 years kindly clarify?

Also if you can specify the goal for which this investment is aimed at then it will help us to suggest suitably.

I will recommend you strategy to rationalize you MF holdings once you revert on the above points.

Thanks;
