Ans: If you are interested in MBA then start preparing for MBA entrance exams. Before that do some research on the different exams and talk to students who have already prepared for the same.

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Shifting departments and starting a new career need a careful consideration.
You can consider making a few changes in order to start cracking interviews.
1. Identify your transferrable skills and highlight them
2. Update and tailor your resume according to the job requirements
3. Be active on Linkedin
4. Work on your English Communciation Skills by practicing continuously and consuming English media
5. Prepare for interviews by appearing for mock interviews on multiple sites like InterviewBit
6. Learn to network and look for references around you, usually a good opportunity is always somewhere around, we just need to find it.
7. Look for additional certifications/ qualifications relevant to your profile and interest to boost your resume
8. Look for a mentor who can keep you motivating constantly and stop you from second guessing yourself

Have patience, and be persistent. You are embarking on a new journey and I wish you all the possible luck.
Wishing you all the best!
Regards

Ans: Hi Bis,
If you are financially stable, have viable business ideas, and are driven to pursue your passion, then you should consider starting your own business. By doing so, you will not only support yourself but also others, which could be a great source of satisfaction and financial freedom. Of course, you should also assess the risks and rewards based on your area of business before deciding whether to pursue a business or continue growing in your job.

Ans: Since you are a diploma you are not graduate. So I would advise you to go for an online BBA along with you job. It will take three years. After that go for online MBA. It will take another two years. Keep your job and you may switch to other companies. Within five years you will be a post graduate with another five years experience. In REDIFF the questions are assigned to us. But in LINKEDIN you can directly contact me. Never be depressed. I am there for you. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent relation and counselling. Best of luck.
