Need your precious Advice

Dear Learned Friends,

I am Kiran working as a faculty in an MCA college, I have 3 Years of exp in teaching. I did my MCA and with exp I have done MBA thru correspondence. My students are also good and well placed in big MNCs. Now I am getting a salary which is less than the tax my students pay for thier salaries. So I planned in the last year to shift to corporate where I implement my knowledge as well as I can get a good salary. I have undergone traing for SAP ABAP and SAP BW. Now I have good knowledge in these subjects but I do not have work exp. The jobs are posted only for 2+ and 3+ years exp. I do not want to cheat the companies, that I do not want to apply for those jobs with fake exp. I want to enter with my teaching exp and knowledge I gained in training above technologies atleast at entry level positions.

Pls give me ur precious advice, which is more important for my future life.


Regards
Kiran

HELLO KIRAN,

My suggestion to you is ...still you can think of entering the academic world, hence there are excellent scope. You can think of clearning NET exam. There are good universities offering various positions.

Especially having the qualifiction from computer combined with management, i believe you have good future in the academic side also.

Now, you may feel that your salary may be less than the tax being paid by your student. But remember you will reach a position where you will be paying heavy tax.

wishes always

Hi,

You are absolutely right.

One must never hide his reality-not because one day it might be found out but because it is a wrong thing to do anyway. Teaching is a noble profession. One should be proud of it but not wear pride on the shirt sleeve.

When you have three years experience which is strictly speaking not relevant to what the employer needs, your entry is going to be tough no doubt!

But you can do the following. Be a lot tactful to sell your ware strategically. This begins from the making suitable resume and ends with handling the sensitive issues in the interviews. This is possible!

Alternatively, you may start teaching, even part time, the subjects that are relevant to industry and make that as your usp-a sound conceptual base and exposure to a variety of situations depicted by the problems.

What will help you, in your present predicament and always is the art of effective communication, tact and dignity besides a large network of friends, students and well-wishers in industry.

It may take time but given the determination and strategy, you will achieve your goal. It is much better to be transparent during the selection process itself that to keep pn making explanations later when people start finding out things about you and start questioning you. If this happens, your credibilit will take a beating and the even the future job changes will become difficult!
