Career Journey and Future Aspirations
After completing my schooling, I joined AMIE (Mechanical Engineering), but I could not complete my studies due to financial constraints. At the age of 23, I got a job with Tata Tea Limited and worked for the first 5 years in the Tea Estate Offices. Thereafter, I shifted to the Industrial Relations Department and worked there for 7 years. In 2005, I resigned from the job and took up employment elsewhere. Currently, my designation is Manager - HR and Admin and Marketing. I have completed 23 years of service in various capacities.
Educational Background
While I have ensured career growth, I failed miserably in adding qualifications. My qualification details are as follows:
- Plus two - completed in the year 1990.
- BBA - Completed in the year 2003.
- Executive Master in Business Administration - 2014.
- Certificate Course in Human Resource Management - 2015.
I have taken up many certification courses online. All the courses were completed in Correspondence Mode.
Professional Experience
So far, I have worked in only 3 companies in the HR Department Staff, as a secretary, and currently hold the designation of HR and Admin Manager.
Seeking Opportunities Abroad
Due to growing commitments and not having settled, I am planning to seek jobs abroad in the HR or Admin field. While I am confident in handling any job independently with ease, I have doubts about whether my long gaps in my qualifications will be a stumbling block in getting a job abroad. I would appreciate an open and considerate opinion on whether I stand a chance in getting a job abroad (I am currently considering only the monetary benefit), preferably in the Middle East.
Can somebody guide me in this regard?

One must emphasize strengths. Your extended gaps between qualifications occurred while working, so you have both practical experience and theoretical knowledge. If you present yourself effectively in your CV, it should not pose a significant challenge. Therefore, confidently explore job opportunities in the Middle East.
However, the Middle East is no longer a haven with high wages as it once was. The job market has slowed down, and in some places, preference is given to locals first. Best of luck.
