Few aspects you may look at -

Self Reflection-do a swot analysis on your skills. This will help you identify your strengths and what you are passionate about and if it aligns to your career goals
Networking
Optimize Linkedin platform. Join groups, connect with people.
Mention on your linkedin profile- open for jobs
Visit websites like glassdoor which will help you give insights on various organizations salary bands and culture. This can be a reference point to start your job hunt.
Mean time keep enhancing your skills

Seek help of recruitment agencies they are connected with almost every organization

I wanted to do mba to enchance and start my career in a management role to achieve a leadership role in upcoming years as a professional in sales and marketing industry. I don't know, i think i am stucked and lost in spiral web between situations and aspiration. I also thinking to get into banking or try govt. Exams to secure a job but i also feel that it will distract me more from my real life goals. I was not a great student or person earlier but now i am changed i know my responsibilities and i know my goals but i want a clear view to walk on that path. Please help with your genuine guidance.
