hi Anu this is sk here. I am based in Pune and my age is 53. I am looking out for jobs in the automotive sales industry but not getting appropriate opportunities. I have been trying for quite some time now. Is it time I should give up and start something of my own?. But for starting something I need the funds to do business. Plz advice.

Ans:

Hi.

I can understand your situation where you worked for so many years to support your family and not really had the opportunity to follow your passion.

If your family’s financial condition is stable now, then you can consider starting your own business. It comes with its own risks but it will be an enriching experience.

You can also consider areas like teaching or social work for the next phase of your career.

Ans: A gradual transition or experimenting with part-time initiatives in a different field or starting a side business while maintaining your current job can help you explore new opportunities without taking significant risks.

Ultimately, the decision should align with your personal and professional aspirations. Weigh the pros and cons of each option and consider what will make you most satisfied and fulfilled in your career.

Why is there a lack of growth? Is it due to a lack of opportunities, skill gaps, or a restrictive work environment? Understanding this is crucial.

Are there any new roles, departments, or areas within finance that interest you? Networking within your industry might uncover fresh opportunities.

Leverage your experience by offering consulting services in finance. Freelancing or consulting roles might offer flexibility and the potential for growth in various projects and industries.

Ans: Dear Mr

You are indeed very lucky to have job offers...just go and grab the one that you would love. While it's great to pursue your dream as an entrepreneur, but at this point you have an obligation to let the dreams of your family and kids come true.

All the best.

Ans: Are you getting ready to jump from frying pan to fire.

Here's a job that's paying you albeit lesser than what you expect and here's you who despite identifying your age related setbacks are trying to experiment,knowing fully well the current job scenario is highly competitive.
You leave your existing job, the new man will join atleast 20% lesser package..!?

Now identify alternate opportunities in competitor's banks go to their website then careers and send your attractive Resume not more than 2 page's enlisting your achievements.
Here's an opportunity which you can certainly explore!

If you do need further professional advice happy to assist
