Ans:

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.

Ans: Hello!

It's great to hear that your son is pursuing a master's degree in regional planning. When it comes to finding a job in this field, there are several options he can explore. Here are some suggestions:

Government Agencies: Given his background and the fact that his hometown is Udaipur, he can consider applying for positions in government agencies related to urban and regional planning. He can check for job openings at the state and local government levels, as well as national organizations like the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

Private Sector: Many private companies and consulting firms hire regional planners to work on projects related to urban development, infrastructure planning, and sustainable design. He can look for opportunities with firms that specialize in urban planning and development.

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): There are NGOs and non-profit organizations that focus on urban and regional development. Your son can explore opportunities with these organizations, especially if he has a passion for community development and sustainability.

Research and Academia: If he has a strong interest in research and teaching, he can consider pursuing a career in academia. He can look for research assistant positions, teaching opportunities, or even consider a Ph.D. program if he wants to go further in this direction.

Urban Development Authorities: In addition to government agencies, many cities and regions have their own urban development authorities or corporations. These entities often hire urban planners to work on city planning and development projects.

Networking: Encourage your son to network with his professors, classmates, and alumni from SPA, Delhi. Networking can often lead to job opportunities and valuable connections in the field.

Online Job Portals: Advise him to regularly check online job portals, such as LinkedIn, Naukri.com, and government job portals, for job postings related to regional planning.

It's important for him to tailor his job search based on his interests, skills, and career goals. Additionally, he should keep his resume updated, prepare for interviews, and consider seeking guidance from his professors and career advisors at SPA, Delhi, as they can provide valuable insights and job leads.
