Question by Prashanth - Dec 08, 2021Hindi

Dear Sir, I have 15 years of work experience in accounts and finance. Earlier, I used to work in the travel and tourism industry. Due to COVID-19 I lost my job. Right now, I am searching for a job and have applied in Naukri, Monster, Timesjobs and other job portals. Till now, I have not received any calls. Some organisations would say that you only worked in the travel and tourism industry, They don't think I can fit there. What should I do? How can I approach organisations for a job? They're telling me the market is low and we can't give the desired salary. If I approach with a low salary expectation, then it will be a loss for me. Please help me with this. Thanks,Prashanth

Ans:

Hi Prashanth.

The pandemic has had its impact in many industries.

However, accounts is a function that is not restricted to any industry.

If you have the right experience and qualifications, you can apply to virtually any organisation.

Also, don't focus too heavily on salary at this point; getting a good role in a good company should be your top priority.

The good news is that tourism as an industry is opening up again.

Question by Swagato - Feb 24, 2021Hindi

Hello,I'm Swagato Ghose, 32, from Kolkata. During the pandemic and because of lockdown, I lost my job. I'm a marketing professional and worked for a print and packaging company based in Hyderabad.The situation is very difficult because, even after trying hard for the past two to three months, nothing positive is materialising.No organisations revert after the interview process and the salary offered during the interview time is negligible when compared to what I was getting before this lockdown happened.It's getting unbearable and I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown as the future seems absolutely uncertain.I'm badly looking for a decent opportunity, but there seems to be very little hope in these tough times as it looks like the recruitment has frozen in most of the good companies.I am really worried about the future and don't know how my professional career is going to shape up.How do I survive this phase?Thanks and regards,Swagato Ghose

Ans:

Hey Swagato.

Hold on! Never give up as life is always full of ups and downs.

A job loss in the time of a global pandemic is not a result of your performance but due to the slowdown in the economy.

Things are now getting back to normal and most companies have started selective hiring.

This is the time to start reskilling in your area of work so that you have the right skill sets that companies are looking for in your field.

Keep yourself engaged with some freelance work or even charitable work.

Remain positive and healthy and close to your loved ones.

You have a bright future.

Question by Himanshu - Mar 30, 2022Hindi

Dear Mr Rautela, I am Himanshu Anand, 35 years old, from Delhi. I saw your article on Rediff and wondered if you can help me out. I graduated with BTech in information technology in the year 2008 but, due to recession, placement letters were held back by companies. I became depressed and decided to join my father’s distribution business where I handled sales and marketing for leading brands like Exide, Luminous, etc, and increased the turnover four times. But now it all seems gloomy again, starting with demonetisation, GST and then coronavirus. I have worked for more than 11 years but I can’t find a job now. Please suggest how can I move ahead. Regards, Himanshu

Ans:

Hi Himanshu.

I would suggest two possible career paths for you.

First, since COVID has now receded, you can get back to your family business.

You can increase your understanding and knowledge in this sphere by doing an online course on managing family businesses.

The second option is sales; since you have done so well in your own business, I am certain you will be a successful sales professional. Take up a course in sales management and look for opportunities in sales or even customer relations.
