I was in Dubai and Qatar and working in various sections for 25 years in the banking industry. Last 4 years I also ventured in digital marketing and now also learning prompt engineering. I got good knowledge in online marketing but nothing is working out. I am still not able to decide what should I start can you provide me few suggestions

Ans: Abhi, there is no escaping it, all jobs/careers come with their targets to achieve.

Ans: Dear Pinku

Please focus on your current company and job and ask yourself what more value you can create and deliver.

Don't fix something which is not broken.????

All the best.

Ans: Hello Shashavali

Careers are like marathon, not a sprint. Also there are good days and bad days.

Suggest you start with telemarketing companies as you have experience in the industry, give your best and you will grow steadily.

Siting and thinking what to do will not help, for you will spin your own mental cob webs. When you take action you know what is working and what is not. Its like driving a car, when you drive you know whether to increase or reduce the speed, take a turn, even u-turn. Just sitting and looking at the map wont take you anywhere.

All the best.

Ans: Send your resume to a few ad and media agencies, may be you could find an opportunity!?

Ans: I understand this must be a frustrating situation. You have a strong educational background and experience, but the job market can be tough. Don't view freelance work as a gap in your employment history. Frame it as an opportunity where you leveraged your expertise to consult with clients. Quantify your achievements as a freelancer whenever possible (e.g., increased client base by X%, secured Y new contracts). The financial and marketing fields have likely evolved since your graduation in 2006. Consider taking online courses, certifications, or workshops to update your knowledge in areas like financial technology (FinTech), digital marketing, or social media marketing. These in-demand skills can make your resume more attractive to employers. Since you already have experience freelancing for forex clients, explore ways to expand your freelance offerings. Can you offer additional services like market research, competitor analysis, or content creation related to finance or foreign exchange? Don't limit yourself to just finance or forex roles. Consider marketing positions within financial institutions, wealth management firms, or fintech companies. Your marketing background could also be valuable in other industries like retail, healthcare, or technology. Remember, your age and experience are assets. Age is not a liability; hence, by highlighting your transferable skills, expanding your skillset, and utilizing a strategic job search approach, you can increase your chances of landing the right job.
