I'm a Content Writer (Pune) with 12.5+ years of experience. I'm looking for a job since my current company has reduced my services to freelancer and pays on per day basis. I have updated my resume on portals, 60-70 employers see my profile daily but nothing concrete is happening. What's wrong?

Ans:

Hi Vijay.

The transition from the government sector to the corporate sector is not going to be tough for you as you have been successful there.

You also have the right skill sets. What you need is ‘networking'.

Connect with the right organisations and people who need process-oriented HR folks.

Use LinkedIn as the medium to connect.

I can tell you that healthcare is one segment that will value your skills as CMM-certified HR professional.

All the best!

Your question is not clear, kindly re-submit with more details.

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for writing in

Consider this as a phase and utilize the time in building your skills. Few suggestions to help you navigate-

Tailor your cv as per the jobs. One Cv may not suit all the jobs that you are applying. In short customize the cv for every job you are applying and highlight the skills as per the job specs.

Network with professionals- reach out to people on linkedin and otherwise in the industry. Do constant and regular periodical reminders.

Try different mediums of job search- for example- Recruitment agencies, referrals, online portals, Direct company, Hr's etc

Consider jobs as intern/ part time/ temporary- (even if it is short term) - this will help you learn and build an experience.

Reset your expectations- Check if your expectations are realistic and can be met. Alter if needed.
Most importantly remain motivated, positive, calm and have patience. Continue with the efforts.

Remember, at times it can be challenging to get the right job so have patience as the market can get competitive to meet your expectations.

Hope this helps. All the best

To your success. Be You. Be Confident
