Career

Sir, I just retired 2 months back from a Thermal Power Plant as Dy General Manager Stores having 36 yrs experience. I m physically n mentally fit. Want to serve for another 8 to 10 years. Kindly suggest me. Reg

Ans: Hi DK, have you tried connecting with your previous employers or friends/family businesses to check how you could help them with their businesses on a contract? Please be open to taking a salary cut as they may not be able to match your last drawn salary.

Also, I'd suggest reviewing different job boards like LinkedIn and Naukri to find the most suitable openings near to where you live. And apply them with your resume. Just applying the job may not be enough, closely follow up with them via phone call and email to the hiring manager or company's info/careers email.

Your breadth of experience can be extremely valuable :)

as i am retiring from gvt. service next year, is it possible to get the job after 60 in it sector, i have vast 33 year experiance in it sector of public sector company
Ans: Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! It’s great that you have 33 years of experience in the IT sector. There are many job opportunities available for people over 60 in the IT sector. Here are some tips that might help:

Register on government portals: The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment’s Senior Able Citizen for Re-Employment in Dignity (SACRED) initiative enables senior citizens above the age of 60 to search for a job through a virtual platform 1. You can also register on other government portals such as 1 to find job opportunities.

Consider freelancing: Freelancing can be a good option if you’re looking for more flexibility in your work schedule. You can work from home and choose the projects you want to work on. You can also set your own rates and potentially earn more than you would at a traditional job.

Network: Networking is an important part of any career, and it’s especially important in the IT sector. Attend industry events and conferences to meet new people and make connections. You can also reach out to your professional network and let them know you’re looking for a job.

Update your skills: The IT sector is constantly evolving, and it’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and techniques. Consider taking online courses or attending workshops to update your skills.

Consider consulting: Consulting can be a good option if you’re looking for more flexibility in your work schedule. You can work on a project basis as a retainer or consultant. You can also consider starting your own consulting business.

Remember, finding a job that meets your requirements may take some time and effort. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find the right job right away. Keep applying and networking, and you’ll increase your chances of finding a job that meets your needs. Good luck!

Ans: With your extensive experience and impressive qualifications, you have a wealth of options to consider as you plan for the next phase of your career. Consider leveraging your expertise by offering consulting services to banks or financial institutions. Your in-depth knowledge of banking operations, compliance, and branch management could be valuable to organizations seeking guidance in these areas. Share your knowledge and experience with the next generation of banking professionals by pursuing opportunities for training and development. You could design and deliver training programs on topics such as branch management, compliance, risk management, and leadership development. Explore advisory roles where you can provide strategic guidance and advice to banks or financial institutions. This could involve serving on advisory boards, committees, or task forces focused on addressing industry challenges and opportunities. Consider opportunities to work with government agencies or regulatory bodies in roles related to banking supervision, policy development, or regulatory compliance. Your hands-on experience in branch inspection and compliance could be particularly valuable in this context. With your background in compliance and risk management, you might explore opportunities in corporate governance, either as a board member or in an advisory capacity. Your expertise could help organizations strengthen their governance practices and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Ultimately, the best path forward will depend on your interests, goals, and priorities. Take the time to reflect on what motivates you and where you see yourself making the greatest impact in the years ahead. With your qualifications and experience, you're well-positioned to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career path for the next phase of your professional journey.

Plastic-Aesthetic Surgeon, Emergency Care Consultant - Answered on Dec 05, 2024

Health
Dear Doctor, I work as a corporate lawyer in Delhi. I’ve been considering undergoing a cosmetic procedure for my skin for some time now, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of surgeons available. I want to ensure that I choose someone who is experienced, as this is a big decision for me. Could you advise what I should look for when selecting a plastic-aesthetic surgeon? Are there any specific red flags I should be aware of when researching potential surgeons? I want to make sure I’m in safe hands. I’m 40 years old.
Ans: This is a beautiful question.
Before I dwell on your question, there are a few points which are very important for the patient to know.
1. You should roughly know what result you wish to have.
2. Never think of a perfect result. There is no such result.
3. You must think in terms of improvement and if you are sble to achieve more than 90% approx, it can be considred good.
4. Dont compare your results with any celebrity's result. There body structure is different, they have probably taken better care till now and importantly, the result you see on a public platform is after make up and not the real result. Some times it may be a photoshopped image
5. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history and addictions.
6. Don't go with pre concieved notion (especially if you have researched a lot online). Discuss with the doctor, listen to his/ her views and raise your concerns if any
7. Try and see some results of the doctors work (Remember, too good a result may not be the true result). Realistic result is what you should want to look at and believe.
8. Don't fall for less budget! its obvious a meticulous job needs more surgical time. This means that the doctor may charge more. Seniority also adds to the cost.
What I mean, there is a price to be paid for a good job.(whether medical or anywhere).
Now coming to the Plastic surgeon's choice.
1. Research well, but dont fall prey to only advertisement. Small and big centers, both advertise,
2. Dont fall for glamour. You are going to a surgeon. A plastic surgeon's clinic is clean but not lavish generally. At least I believe that the person coming is not a client, but a patient. A patient - Doctor relationship is more pure than a client-Professional relationship.
3. Talk and discuss with the doctor. A too busy doctor may not always be the best doctor for you. Plastic surgery is about thinking, planning and execution. A doctor who thinks aloud about your problem ( especially if ut us face, nose, breast etc) is applying his/ her knowledge for your betterment, because every oerson is different.
4. Check the resilts? Look for genuinity.
5. Be wary of arrogant, loud and boisterous people. There is a difference between confidence and fambloyence.
6. Doctors who are attached to reputed hospitals are generally good in their work.
7. A doctor who can talk about probable complications is also a doctor worth trusting.
I hope I am able to do justice to this difficult question. All the best. You can write again if you need any other clarifications.
Dr. Anshuman Manaswi
