A doctorate from IIT Bombay in Metallurgy and masters from NIT in Manufacturing with 5 years of experience including 2 years in academics and currently working from past 3 years in industry where I work mostly on finite element analyst of forging and bulk extrusion process and New product development as manager heading a team of 5 people. I have working knowledge of 3-4 FE software related to metal forming domain along with ANSYS STRUCTURAL. Despite that I am not getting any interview calls as I am currently looking for a job switch and have put up my profile both on NAUKRI AND LINKEDIN. Some calls are coming to me but that are all irrelevant profiles in which my expertise is not there. I have been trying for the past 6 months but have not got any positive response. Despite such a highly educated person from premier institute and not getting any response is highly depressing. Could you suggest how to apply and where to apply and any other website where I shall make my profile to get a positive response ? Thanks.

Ans: Forget these nonsense placement apps... They float like a rudderless ship with job aspirants expecting them to be taken to new shores of great opportunity!?

The recruiters today are not in sync with job description and profile.
The companies are dependent on consultants who try delve on these laizze faize.. Domains..

Please go directly to websites of companies that are in your area of activity and match your profile.
Go to careers and swing in your CV.

If you do need further professional advice happy to assist

Ans: You have accomplished academic background and work in a very specialised area. You may have to expand your job search to a broader field of Metalurgy, Product Managment, Operations and not be limited to Finite Element analysis. Think through again and look for companies active in the field of metallury and users and producers of Steel, Metals. You may also look at academics. Use your academic contacts in the two IIT--IIT B and NIT, previous employers and seek their help in connecting you with possible openings. You also need to give yourself more time and be optimistic.

Could you suggest how to apply and where to apply and any other website where I shall make my profile to get a positive response ? I am open to other roles such as metallurgy, product management, operations, vehicle dynamics based CAE etc but companies are just looking for relevant experience and they are rejecting my profile if relevant experience is not found. What to do ? Please advise
Ans: It's understandable that despite your strong qualifications, you're facing challenges in securing relevant interview calls.
Tailor Your Resume: Ensure that your resume is tailored for the specific job roles you are applying to.
Keywords Matter: Use industry-specific keywords on your resume and LinkedIn profile. Recruiters and companies often use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen resumes, which rely heavily on keywords.
Take help of professional to restructure your resume suitably.
Beyond Naukri and LinkedIn, explore industry-specific job portals. For your domain, platforms such as EngineerJobs.com, iMetalHub, and MetallurgicalJobs.
Make a list of companies that operate in your domain, then apply of your own.
You can upgrade your skill by doing online courses.
Hope these will help you. Give your feedback.

Hii sir ! This is ritika and I love a boy and we are in relationship since 7 years but there are some behavior of him he always have doubt on me that I am dating another boy he always says that start you screenshare in WhatsApp I even do because I don't want to lose him and he saw all of things of my phone yesterday he again asking for that and I do and there was a tab of instagram which was belongs to my roommate it was her I'd open in my chrome browser where she only wants to delete the I'd which she did from my phone these instagram thing happened approx one year ago but when he saw this I told him that was not mine but he continuously said I am cheater I cheated with him again he was like I know you have two mobile phones and you cheated with me. I love him soo much but he cannot try to accept that . Even I don't talk to my male classmate because he didn't want ki main kisi boy se baat karu Is it fair , am I cheater ? I love him unconditionally I support him in all his career or decision but again he was like I cheated with him we are in long distance relationship but I can't cheat him . Literally I am feeling depressed ????
Ans: Dear Ritika,

Please understand that you did nothing wrong. Why would you even question yourself? You know you never cheated. It's his issue that he cannot trust. Yes, in a relationship we all try to comfort our partners but that too should be to a certain extent. And, in that process, if your mental health is being compromised, I don't see how it's a healthy relationship.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I would reassure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You don't need to prove yourself anymore. And I can also assure you that no matter what you do, he will still manage to find some flaws and doubt you. It's a typical behavior we see in some partners. You deserve peace, love, and above all, to be trusted.

Best Wishes.
