My name is shashikantpatel I m currently not getting job I was working we ith finance company as sales profile in nbfc they fired me currently unemployed from3 months I am not able to get success in sales job
Ans: Here are some ideas that will help you, Mr. Shashikant. 1) Figure out what went wrong with your sales job. Problems with the product, not getting enough exercise, goals, stress, and your part can all affect how well you do your job. 2) Figure out what you're good at when it comes to banking products and services, talking to people, and managing relationships with clients. Think about jobs that don't require a lot of sales, like credit research, customer service, and back office work. 3) Get more attention by getting new certifications and learning new skills like CRM, Excel etc. 4) Look into jobs besides sales, like those in banking and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), the insurance industry, and financial services support. 5) Use LinkedIn, talk to former coworkers or bosses, and look for casual or freelance work to find work. You can even approach a Professional Career Coach such as Vikram Anand etc. to help you in fine-tuning your Resume, Job Search Strategies through LinkedIn, Job Interview Skills etc. 6) Figure out how to handle money while you're away. Spend less on things you don't need, think about getting a part-time job, and ask your family for short-term financial help. 7) Never get demotivated. Be very determined & stay active. All the BEST for Your Son’s Prosperous Future.

Sir I am graduated in 2022 B.Tech(environment) from tier 2 college. After that I was preparing for civil services for 2 years but couldn't clear it. So now I am switching my career in private sector. As of now I joined environment consultancy for initial start (legal work ) but I worried about my future. Is consultancy good for long term growth? I am totally blank. Pls guide me
Ans: Mr. Manan, In fields such environmental impact assessment, sustainability, and renewable energy, environmental consulting experience can be quite helpful. To maximize this, assess your present role performance and grow from it. Think about career paths connected to environmental engineering include government advisory jobs, big corporations, renewable energy companies, or technical consulting. Get certificates, technical skills, and project management certifications to strengthen your qualifications. Examine the long-term advantages of environmental consulting, including exposure to many sectors and chances for concentrating on audits, compliance, or impact studies. Think about career development, either long-term—consider environmental sector entrepreneurship or leadership possibilities—or temporary, working in consulting for two to three years. Last but not least, keep your present position by aggressively networking, thinking about a Master's degree, looking for companies like Ernst & Young, KPMG, Tata Power, or environmental advocacy organizations. Remember that your present situation is an excellent stepping stone; with proactive work, you may design a career path that brings fulfillment. All the BEST for Your Son’s Prosperous Future.
