Career
I'm a 23-year-old still struggling to find a job. I graduated in 2023 with a BBA in Finance, but I made a big mistake by not taking a job opportunity and instead started preparing for banking exams, in which I failed miserably. Now, I’m unemployed with a gap year, while my friends have jobs and are happy. I’ve lost all interest in government jobs, so I’ve started applying to private companies, but so far, I’ve had no success. Nobody wants to hire an obsolete product like me. I’m a worthless person who destroyed his own career. I wanted to build a career in finance but now I don’t know what to do—please, I need guidance.
Ans: You did not waste your time during the last 1 year and had been preparing for Bank exam only which itself is an experience. NEVER get demotivated by temporary failures. To gain experience, try to join any small or medium-sized company to begin with. You have mentioned you have started applying for jobs, but have NOT mentioned through which sources. LinkedIn is the 1st best source. Having a professional resume is important to get shortlisted at least for the interview and also you should customize your Resume for each job you are applying, based on the JD (job description) advertised. If possible & your economic conditions permit, join MBA-Finance in any reputed Distance Learning University such as IGNOU and / or join online courses, related to your domain. After conducting a research for 3-months on 'Resume Building', I prepared an eBook, containing 24 pages, titled, "What if you could create your Professional Resume without Googling". Some of the Tips I have reproduced below. Please go through it and try to follow them. 12 QUALITIES Your Resume Should Have: (1) Uniqueness & Outstanding (2) Updated Snapshot of Your Career (Brief & Relevant) (3) Keysords of Job Description (4) Adept to Job Description Advertised
(5) Your Expertises Relevant to The Job (6) Focusing More on Achievements Quantitatively (7) Being Selective & include Only Relevant Information (8) Concise & Maximum 2-Pages. Less is More. (9) Easily Scannable to Look for Desired Characteristics,
and Draw Attention to Experiences, if applicable (10) Having Several Versions of Your Resume tailored for Certain Employers or Types of Positions (11) Impress Recruiters To Meet You in the Interview & (12) PROFESSIONAL Email / Webmail ID & Professional LinkedIn URL. Strategize your Job searching skills. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.
