Dear Aspirant,

Thanks for approaching us at CareerGuide.com!!! I appreciate your detailed query.

Hope you will be able to convince your prospective employer why there was a long gap in your career. With qualification of Marketing, you have no option but to work in marketing and that too it will be compulsory since you have big gap.

If you wish not to join marketing at all, then BPO jobs at a low level are available, where your MBA will be of no use.

Best wishes,

Dr. Anand Wadadekar

Hi There,

Thanks for approaching us at CareerGuide.com!!!

Its really been a long gap, one year is quite a time. Lot of changes takes place during that time.

Here instead of jumping in, for a degree or qualification, what I would suggests is that it would be better if you could join work in the field you desire, get a hang of it and then your seniors will guide you or you yourself can then think which area you need to get more knowledge and then get the required qualification.

For being into the QA department, knowledge about the product forms the main knowledge as well as the technicalities, but that can be learnt during the job itself.

As such since you are a Marketing MBA graduate, why dont you look into Analytic profiles or Business development profiles. Though they are a part of marketing, but these days innovative styles of promoting the business is in the market and if you are good in communication, then this adds on to your profile.

Best is to get into job ASAP. Rather than wasting time in acquiring a degree, better is to start working and get trained on the job.
But please note that any job you dwell into now, it would be at the base level only.

Hope this answers your query.

Wish you good luck...............
