Hello,
I had taken a break due to personal reasons with 9 years of IT experience as a Project Manager. I am B.E. (Electronics) and PMP certified. I have worked with Tier 1 companies. After a 1-year break, I started with freelancing work and have worked on assignments for 1.5 years. Now, I would like to get back to full-time employment.
I have started applying through job portals; however, I have been unable to get interview calls so far. I am very keen on getting back to IT. Your guidance would be most appreciated regarding resuming my career. Would correspondence MBA add value to my profile?

Hi Neha,
Correspondence MBA is useful in cases where you are already working for a company, and the only thing standing between you and the next promotion is an MBA certification. For a new job, however, you will be competing with those who have done a full-time MBA, in which case the odds are stacked against you.
If you are serious about getting back into the industry, don't wait for responses through a job portal. Statistically, job portals are the worst since only a fraction of members get jobs. You need to send your resume directly to companies and keep in touch with your buddies in the industry to notify you whenever there is an opening. In other words, networking is the best way to get the top jobs, which almost never get advertised. Also, your buddies might get a bonus for referring you if you get hired.
All the best,

Hello nehas123,
Please email your resume to me at: taj@sphinxresources.com.
However, considering your current situation, I would suggest keeping yourself mentally open regarding the CTC. The primary focus should be on getting the re-start as soon as possible.
