Sir I have quit the job in April 2023 for a surgery and to take rest for some time . I am 43 yrs old .Can I get new work from hom job . Are there any geniune sites providing work from home .please suggest

Ans: Hello,

I understand your situation, and I'm here to help. Taking a break for surgery and rest is important for your well-being. It's great that you're considering a work-from-home job as it can offer flexibility and convenience, especially given your circumstances.

At 43 years old, you certainly have valuable experience and skills that can be applied to various remote job opportunities. Many companies offer work-from-home positions across a wide range of industries, from customer service and administrative roles to writing, design, programming, and more. Some established job search platforms and websites can help you find legitimate work-from-home opportunities.

Here are a few reliable websites where you can start your search for remote jobs:

FlexJobs: This platform specializes in curating remote and flexible job listings, including part-time and freelance positions. They screen and verify job postings to ensure they are legitimate.

Remote.co: Remote.co features a variety of remote job listings and provides insights into remote work culture and best practices.

We Work Remotely: This website lists remote jobs in fields like development, customer support, marketing, and design.

LinkedIn: Utilize LinkedIn's job search function to filter for remote or work-from-home positions. Your network and professional connections can also be helpful in finding opportunities.

Indeed: Indeed allows you to search for remote jobs by using the "Remote" filter in your search criteria.

Upwork: If you're open to freelancing, Upwork is a popular platform where you can offer your skills and services to clients looking for remote assistance.

When looking for remote work, it's important to be cautious and do your due diligence. Be wary of any job postings that promise excessive earnings with minimal effort or ask for upfront fees. Legitimate employers will not require you to pay to apply for a job.

Before applying to any job, thoroughly research the company, read reviews, and ensure their contact information is readily available. When communicating with potential employers, ask questions about the job role, responsibilities, expectations, and payment structure.

Remember that finding the right remote job might take some time, but with patience and persistence, you can certainly find opportunities that align with your skills and preferences.

Best of luck with your job search, and I hope your recovery goes smoothly.

I am Sanjeev Kumar, aged 58, working with a reputed public limited company at a senior level. Our company mandates annual health check up from reputed hospitals in Delhi and I am covered under a floater medical insurance plan. I was diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation more than a couple of years ago and taking two tablets per day (one Beta blocker and one blood thinner) as a precaution as per doctor. Otherwise I am physically fit and active (I successfully run half marathon for last more than 10 years). I intend to have another medical indurance as I am approaching retirement age but insurance companies are reluctant to provide me the same. Please advise what type of medical insurance cover I should have (for self and my wife, 55 yrs) and from which companies! Is online plan okay?
Ans: Hello;

If you have a known illness of the heart unfortunately hardly any general insurance company will come forward to cover you despite other positives.

Because insurance works on probability and when they reckon that probability of claim, in future based on current information, may be high they refuse to underwrite such risks.

Since you are an employee of a public sector company, I suppose your employer may have some group mediclaim plan or coverage for the retirees as well.

Take that coverage even if you have to pay and undergo a waiting period.

Alternatively you may earmark some fixed sum 8-10 L as medical contingency fund for yourself.

For your spouse you should opt for a minimum 25 L healthcare cover from companies such as HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz, SBI General etc which do not entirely depend on healthcare insurance as the only business segment.

Best wishes;
