- BBA (correspondence)
- MBA (correspondence)

- 8 years in administrative activities

Please advise on the type of job I should search for to advance my career.

Dear Bhuvana, Instead of being a jack of all trades and master of none, please concentrate on one discipline at a time. After acquiring sufficient knowledge in that field, expand your expertise to the next discipline. This approach will help you broaden your area of work.

You mentioned having 8 years of experience in Admin Activities. Could you please list them out one by one? Whether they fall under Facilities, Administration, Industrial Relations, or Human Resources, focus on excelling in that specific area.

With warm regards,
