Hi Sir, touching 40 years of age, have had no formal work experience before. If i want to relocate from India to the Middle East, can i do any short course and apply for a backend job? Pls guide

Ans: To answer your question precisely, please clarify your current educational qualifications and any informal or volunteer work experience you may have. Which Middle East country are you targeting? What specific backend job or industry do you mean? What is your level of English proficiency? What is your timeline and financial capacity for relocation? Are you open to entry-level positions? Are you willing to acquire any specific short-term technical certifications or courses related to backend development? This information will help tailor advice on suitable courses and job opportunities. (Please be aware that securing a job at the age of 40 without formal work experience, even after completing a short course, can be extremely challenging due to competitive job markets and employer preferences for experienced candidates).

HR Expert - Answered on Dec 08, 2021

Question by Anonymous - Dec 08, 2021Hindi

Dear Mr Mayank, First of all, I would like to keep my question anonymous. I have relocated to India in the past month after spending around 20 years in the Middle East. I worked as a HR manager in an MNC for the past many years but had to leave due to difficulties in the market situation after the pandemic. Additionally, my entire experience is in the Middle East. I have been applying for related jobs in HR here but to no avail. I have completed my MBA on a part-time basis from an Indian university while I was working in the Middle East. I have certification from HRCI for SPHRi and have additionally completed HRBP training from AON. Do you think my lack of Indian experience and lack of a full-time MBA will be a hurdle for getting a good offer from companies?

Ans:

I don't think that would be a major hurdle.

You have done some very relevant courses/certifications that will help you perform well in your role.

Also, geography does not play a ‘make or break’ role in getting a job, especially in HR.

The cultural dimensions in the Middle East are similar to India.

I would say remain positive and connected. Look at companies that have operations both in India and the Middle East and target them in order to get a job faster.
