Dear Mayank,
Name: Vaibhav Jain
Age: 28
Currently unemployed.
I really need your help and guidance at this point of time as I am very confused regarding my career.
I am a mechanical engineering graduate; I graduated in 2015. Qualified Gate 2017 but not with a good rank. Till February 2018, I prepared for government exams but unfortunately couldn't crack them.
Then I started to do a job in the ayurvedic health care sector in a relatively smaller subsidiary of a known company as a GRE and FOE.
I worked there from June 2018 to July 2020.
I did not enjoy my job and the salary was not good. Also, I was inclined to choose yoga as my career path so I participated in a short term yoga teacher training programme in 2019 and quit my job in July 2020.
In my experience letter, the company said I had made an excellent contribution towards the organisation.
After quitting my job, I completed my post-graduate diploma in yoga education from Kaivalyadhama, Lonavala, in April 2021.
After completing the course, I was excited about pursuing a career in yoga. But due to some unfortunate circumstances at home, I am not finding the time to do so. I self-practise. Circumstances have caused financial issues at my home which is forcing me to do some kind of job to balance the expenses.
One of my friends, who is working at one of the biggest e-commerce companies of the country, has asked to apply for an opening for floor executive (inventory management role) in his company.
I am interested as the salary is good, which can help me in current situation. But I don't have any idea or experience of how to go about doing an interview at such a big corporate company.
I don't have any prior experience of working in this field, therefore I'm not confident about cracking the interview. Based on what I have heard from my friends, the company gives preference to candidates with prior experience.
Please guide me for this interview process and how to prepare a resume as I am finding difficult to recognise my strengths and weaknesses and my good skills which may help to crack the interview. Guide me for my interview preparation.
Also guide me if should follow my interest of yoga as a career or find some other job to meet my financial needs.
Thanks and regards,
Vaibhav Jain
Dear Vaibhav.
I think your key strength is that you are a qualified engineer. With that comes analytical, logical and mathematical abilities.
Also, you have prepared for competitive exams so you have that competitive spirit.
Build on these strengths and look for a career where you can use them. Almost every industry needs these skill sets.
Keep practising yoga for good health and calmness.
A full-time career in yoga is not really a financial option.
What you could do is apply for migration to Canada/Australia and then make yoga a career there.
