Hi,
Thank you for reviewing my situation and providing your valuable suggestions. I have been advised by everyone to stay positive. While I do try to maintain a positive outlook, I do get frustrated at times. For instance, when applying for corporate jobs, I often do not receive responses. Moreover, during interviews, potential employers are taken aback by the gaps in my employment history. In a recent interview for a BPO role, I was questioned about my employment gap and salary expectations. Despite explaining that I am willing to accept a package based on industry standards, I was put on hold. This has led me to consider starting fresh without highlighting my past experiences. I believe my fear of rejection stems from previous disappointments.
Although I am open to various job opportunities, I have always avoided roles involving hard-core sales, which seem to be frequently suggested to me, even by my seniors during exit interviews. In previous positions, I have gained experience in administrative tasks such as data management, creating presentations, and coordinating, as well as in HR responsibilities like candidate sourcing, interview scheduling, and reference checks. While a high salary is not my top priority, I do not subscribe to the idea of a dream job; rather, I am seeking a stable position in a supportive work environment.
What types of roles would you recommend I pursue now? Should I include my past experiences in my job applications?
Thank you and regards.

Dear Seema Sodhi,
Going by your CV and your preferences, it appears to me that you need to have more confidence in yourself. Believe in yourself and only yourself. There is no point in brooding over the past. Wake up and face whatever comes your way. What phobia? It's nothing but an illusion, given that you have successfully navigated numerous interviews and have been employed not just once but multiple times. You have not experienced unemployment since graduating. With a PGD under your belt and experience in various firms, you are indeed attracting opportunities, that's the reality. So, don't feed us stories. Get ready and go for it. You will achieve what you desire, if only you seek and pursue how to attain it. Regarding teaching, I have my doubts. Nowadays, without at least a minimum of a PG degree with M.Phil or Ph.D., it's challenging, which you do not possess. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
I believe you excel in marketing and sales, a field that offers countless employment opportunities. Some of our CiteHR friends have inquired about you already. However, explore and pursue what resonates most with your heart. I think you can bridge the gap by gaining additional experience with another employer (e.g., freelance work in event management, etc.). It's simple; just ask your friends for assistance.
All the best, pal.

Dear Seema,
You have been well advised in the previous comments. Take a job that is closely related to what you would like to do. Do not look at a high position or worry about your qualifications versus your role. Just go out and take a job even if it is temporary or unpaid. Start interviewing and think of these as your practice sessions for the job that you would really wish to get. Your focus now should be to get back into the professional environment, spend your first salary imitating the attire of the successful colleagues and similarly attend to your grooming. Listen to the BBC programmes to improve your diction and fluency in English. Join a local toastmasters club to improve communication skills and build confidence. Success will come to anyone who works hard and is passionate about what they are doing.
How to justify your gap period? Think about all your achievements in the past few years - you helped somebody, engaged in studies, traveled, etc., and build a story around this that you can happily share with your interviewer. The key word is "happily." Nobody likes a depressed person, and a good way to boost your mood is to start working out or going for long walks, which will help alleviate your frustration. It is your life, and if you decide to take a break from the working world, nobody can dispute your decision. However, you must be positive while conveying it, and if well conveyed, the interviewer will not spend too much time on this as they will assess you during your probation.
Bear in mind that the interviewer in front of you is also under tremendous pressure to recruit the right person, or their job and credibility are at stake. They are also trying hard to achieve recognition with their colleagues and management. If you convince them about how you can help the company and the reason why they should recruit you, you will put them at ease. Bear in mind that in addition to qualifications, the interviewer is looking for a person they can work with, whose attitude will be a perfect fit for the company culture.
Remember, if others can do it, so can you. Best wishes for all the success that is just around the corner for you.

Madam,
Just to identify a few things: there are many companies that will take you as a fresher. Also, many companies will not be bothered about the gap, and there are also many companies that will not react or be worried about your gap; they only consider the talent within you. They only consider your approach towards accomplishments, commitments based on confidence.
So, all the best for your progress. May God bless you with a satisfactory lifestyle further.
Regards
