Struggling to Return to Aviation Industry After Family Emergency: How to Get Back on Track?

Ans:

Hi Prashanth. 

The pandemic has had its impact in many industries. 

However, accounts is a function that is not restricted to any industry. 

If you have the right experience and qualifications, you can apply to virtually any organisation. 

Also, don't focus too heavily on salary at this point; getting a good role in a good company should be your top priority. 

The good news is that tourism as an industry is opening up again.
