Hello, I am a 26-year-old woman with a background in commerce. After graduation, I worked for 2 years in accounting but realised that I don’t enjoy it. I’m considering switching to digital marketing or HR, but I feel unsure if it is right for me. I often doubt my decisions and fear making the wrong career choice. How do I gain clarity and build confidence in my next step?

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

If you dont risk how would you know what you are good at. Before making any switch please do the research and understand what kind of options it may have. Once you understand and you are sure then make the switch. Doubting will not help action will.

Hope this helps

Thanks
Ashwini

Hello sir, I am stuck in confusion about my career previously i was working as HR due to personal reason had to leave the job and there was gap of 4 years and again after few years had to do new start up from zero and working to Administration department for almost 4 years i am planning of switching job as i dont find any scope and growth to the work i am doing and underpaid here.Not understanding again i should switch back to HR job or continue into adminstration job and also please advice where will i get to learn and upgrade my skill and have growth in my career.Please help sir
Ans: Hello Tanmay.
Nothing is mentioned by you about your qualifications or company profile. Only it is clear that you left the HR job, remained jobless for 4 years, and joined to new startup, but not satisfied there also, and are again interested in joining the previous HR job.
Dear, it would be better for you to join the HR job again. Working in an administration job requires specialized skills which I think you might be lagging. According to your qualifications, it would be better to join some online/offline courses which are helpful to your present job conditions and also useful if you decide to change the job in the future. As I do not know your educational qualifications, it is difficult for me to suggest you properly. For proper counseling/suggestion, please tell us your educational qualification, extracurricular activities, and computer knowledge if any.

If satisfied, pl like and follow.
If unsatisfied, pl ask again without any hesitation.
Thanks
