Hello seniors,
Thank you all for responding to the queries of members in time...
I have a serious concern regarding my career...an issue which has been bugging me day in and day out...
I am an MBA with 10 years of experience in content management [print and web] - content development, editing, proofreading, web publishing, image editing, etc.
I have worked for three companies during these 10 years. The second company is the world's second largest market research company and the third is a British media giant [I am currently working here]
My previous [first] experience:
The first firm I worked with is a really small firm - a home-bases proprietary publishing firm [sole proprietorship] that publishes almanacs [a book on Hindu religious traditions, etc] and travel guides [for four different cities] in our regional language [Telugu]. On and off, it published travel guides in English. I worked here was Editorial Assistant from October 2002 to August 2007 [almost 5 years]. The publishing firm was not registered under the companies act, 1956. However, it was registered with Registrar of Newspapers of India [RNI], which is like a license to run a publishing firm.
Is my experience working for quality checking and proofing books in regional languages a bane when applying for big companies in web-based content management in English language.
I wonder what would HRs of big companies, especially in content industry, view my previous experience. I mean, content is content end of the day...may it be any language. I already have proven my expertise at English language having worked 5 plus years of experience in web content management for global giants - the second company is the world's second largest market research company and the third is a British media giant [I am currently working here]
Please advise me...
