Im in my mid 40's, my body is tired from all the hard mechanical work iv'e done, and Im considering a career change!

I have retail experience, and im also a musician of 35 years, and enjoy helping customers.

Trucking is too demanding for what I have going on in my life, and being a mechanic has hurt my body where im beat after working all day.

im jusyt having difficulty trying to come up with ideas as to what to do for a career!

I had the same experience in my forties! I had been doing massage for 15 years and my body could no longer keep up.

If you enjoy helping customers, consider titles such as "implementation consultant" or "customer success" or "business analyst." Your retail experience can really pay off here.

These terms vary greatly from one company to the next, so scan the job descriptions carefully. Indeed and LinkedIn let you search specifically for entry level positions.

Good luck!

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
