I am 39 years old, based out of Pune, having worked for 12 years in the IT Services Industry and the remaining 3 years in the Logistics/Supply Chain Management industry. For quite some time now, I am feeling "unfulfilled" in my role—both in terms of joy/job satisfaction and the ability of my skills to provide me with sustained employment over the next 20 years of my work life. Thus, I need expert counseling on the following topics:

1. What are my skills and personality traits that contribute to my Unique Selling Proposition (USP) in the job market?

2. For these skills, what are the associated job opportunities available across industries? (I am not limiting myself to the IT Services Industry)

3. What are the training programs that I need to undergo to enhance my skills to meet various industry requirements?

4. I would also require recruitment assistance to transition into this new role.

Can you please guide me to reach any Pune-based experts?

When you ask for advice from seniors, the foremost requirement is to disclose your name properly. I do not see the merits of withholding your name.

Questions to Consider

Several questions arise from the information you have provided:

- **What is your qualification?**

- **In the "IT Services Industry," what did you do?**

- **What do you do in the Logistics/SCM Industry?** What is your designation? What are the measures of performance in your job?

- **What are your strengths?** Do you have any outstanding achievements in your career?

- **What are your weaknesses?** If you are unsure, seek feedback from others.

- **Do you enjoy using mathematical or statistical tools in your work?** If yes, where have you used them, and what was the outcome?

- **To develop your career, have you acquired any Diplomas?** If not, you may refer to the website of the Indian Institute of Materials Management (IIMM) and choose a suitable course.

- **Have you taken capsule courses (of say 2-3 day duration) related to your field?**

- **Have you taken capsule courses (of say 2-3 day duration) on soft skills?**

Any advice is possible provided you furnish the above information.

Thanks,
