Hi there,
This is Ash.T from Ahmedabad. I am currently working with a very large & reputed Ltd company in its CSR Dptt. as an Associate Faculty for English & Communication. Also, responsible for Academic Administration and General Marketing of Skill Development courses being offered to the community in Ahmedabad.
I am in a dilemma pertaining to adding value & stability to my career. This is so as I am basically from Service Industry. In my previous assignment I worked with Aditya Birla group in one of its telecom company in Service, Delivery Training and Quality function. So Communication, Customer Service and Training are my forte that way speaking. Then owing to cost-cutting in the telecom sector overall, I changed a couple of companies wherein in one of the assignment I was the head of call center for a hospitality company.
In pursuit of stability & a meaningful career, I quit that job and started freelance consultation along with working as a visiting faculty for English & Communication (with an MBA college in Ahmedabad). I did so for 2 years until I got this break in March-2013 in CSR Dptt.
Seeing the need of upgrading my credentials, I have cleared MA (English) 1st year and am pursuing its last year (from MGU). But as I said, I am eyeing stability & value addition to my career, I have decided to pick up either MSW or Diploma in T&D from ISTD. (1) Pls. suggest me best course of action (2) What according to you should I be aiming career wise i.e. (a) Training field or (b) CSR, given my corporate work experience of 15 years.
As a long term vision, I also plan to go for Ph. D but I am not sure how will it help me in corporate/private sector going forward.Coz I am less optimistic to appear/clear Net/Slet tests.
Consider it given that I am aiming Rs.70,000 salary level in the next 2 years.
Sincerely,
ASH.T
