Dear All,

I graduated with an MBA in 2013. During my studies, I was placed in a private bank as an Assistant Manager and worked there from March 2013 to March 2014. After that, I joined an FMCG company and worked from April 2014 to August 2014. Subsequently, I was preparing for a public sector job and worked part-time, but unfortunately, I could not secure a position there.

I am now interested in working in private companies, but the fluctuations in my career are causing difficulties for me in getting shortlisted for interviews. I seek your guidance on what steps I should take next.

Please advise. Thank you.

Dear Drgauravs,

Can you elaborate on why you left your job at the bank in just a span of 1 year?

You joined a private firm only to work for around 5 months and then left again to pursue a job in the public sector. What prompted you to leave this job without having another job lined up?

Is the story you mentioned entirely true, or has it been altered to suit your favor?

Now, I want to serve in private companies, but the fluctuations in my career are creating problems for me in being shortlisted for interviews too. Please help me and suggest, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Best regards.

Dear Dr. Gaurav,

Ankita has given you some food for thought to have an introspection. Count on your strengths and work hard to get a new job. Sometimes, particularly early in our career, we make decisions without much thought. As the old saying goes, "Do not act in haste to repent at leisure."

Changing jobs is something almost everyone does to advance in their career. What's important is to ensure that the change is a smooth transition (thanks to Instrumentation Engineers for this term). The process should be similar to climbing a ladder. Just like how you use your hands and legs, you let go of the previous grip only after securing a firm hold on the next higher rung. Similarly, you lift the next foot only when the other is securely resting on the lower rung to prevent falling.

With these insights, make honest attempts to secure a new job. Success will follow. Best of luck.

Thank you, everyone, for your time and consideration.

One thing I want to clarify is that I left the bank because I did not want to be an insurance agent. (I'm not insulting agents, but it was not my cup of tea to deceive people by misleading them just to meet my targets.) Additionally, the FMCG Company was shut down unexpectedly. Everything was going well, so it came as a surprise.

Regards
