I have somehow reached 35 lpa aged 34 years of age. Total experience -12 years -7 years post MBA. The problem I have changed the trade/industry twice, hence not materialized on any trade handling operations role across - apparels, printing books, and now renewable energy sector. How do I prepare for senior roles and stable job, tenure>5 years.

Ans: Sir, To secure a stable career in senior roles, identify your core strengths and skills, specialize or broaden your expertise, develop industry-specific knowledge, target senior leadership roles, pursue relevant certifications or courses, network and mentorship, prioritize stability in your next move, and enhance your executive presence. Focus on leadership, strategic thinking, stakeholder management, and operational efficiency, and reflect on roles where you've added significant value. Develop industry-specific knowledge, pursue relevant certifications or courses, and connect with industry leaders for guidance. Prioritize organizations with a history of retaining talent in leadership roles through LinkedIn. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future, Sir.

Question by Anonymous - Mar 18, 2021Hindi

Hello Mayank,I am a commerce graduate and have around 15 years of experience in back office operations.I am currently working at the document management department in an oil and gas MNC at a designation equivalent to that of a senior clerk.I am nearing 40 and I will be losing my current job in the next few months.My problem is that I am searching for a new job since one year but not getting any interviews. I guess this is due to my age (I am 40 and still at the clerical level) and my salary (around Rs 50,000) which is a bit on higher side with respect to my designation in my city.I don't have the skillsets or attitude for a team leader or managerial position.At present, I am not in a financial and mental state to acquire new skill sets, learn new things or start new businesses which are obvious suggestions.I can't work in BPOs as they don't hire associates at this salary and particularly at this age. Besides, I am not comfortable working night shifts.Could you suggest some different solution to my problem as I have already figured out/tried the common ones.Thanks in advance.Name withheld on request.

Ans:

Hi.

Your question has so many ‘I can't’ statements that you have yourself ruled out many feasible options.

Please remember that, in the job market, there are many more qualified people than there are decent jobs. So you will certainly need to change your mindset and be flexible to adapt and learn new skill sets.

Even Sachin Tendulkar had to adapt to T-20 to play the IPL!

Approach the situation with a positive mindset and things will work out for you.
