Dear Mayank,
I am a BCom graduate with 25+ years of experience in accounts and finance.
My designation is manager, accounts and finance.
I have worked for reputed companies like Karvy Consultants, Ramky, VLCC Healthcare and others.
On March 20, 2020, a few days before the lockdown, I was asked to resign from my job and my salary was paid on the same day.
Since then, I have been applying for jobs continuously.
I am not adamant about my designation. I am trying for all jobs that relate to my experiences. I have been searching through newspapers, Naukri.com, Monster and various social media but it has been a case of ‘Apply and apply but no reply’.
Fortunately, both my kids are working from home in IT companies but being the senior responsible caretaker, I am sitting idle without a job in hand.
Can you advise/suggest and help me to solve this problem.
Regards
Nagaraju U E
Dear Nagaraju.
I appreciate your zeal and enthusiasm to continue to work even after a long career and the fact that your children are also working. Apart from what you have been doing, I would recommend these specific steps:
1. Reach out to your managers and colleagues who you have worked in the past as references are still the best way to get a job.
2. Since you have an accounting background, you can also consider working as a freelancer as there are many opportunities for part time gig workers.
3. Explore academics as a career option.
4. Giving back to the society is also very enriching, so do take up some charity or volunteer work.
