Date: 13-Jan-2002
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a Chemical Engineer from Punjab university Chandigarh with MBA from IMT-Ghaziabad and having 15 yrs experience in marketing capital equipments and now intend to change my line -options e-commerce, joining Business associations like CII, FICCI etc.I love to read the Economic Times and I am more interested in finance and commerce data and information than technical data. My strengths are communication, PR and weakness hard-core technical stuff. However I have managed this far as I have been able to get orders for the companies I have worked in.However salaries in Capital equipment are very low. Please advise what options I have,

Regards

Answer: Dear Ravi,
At this stage keeping your background and interests in mind CII would be your best option - either their consulting wing or the corporate relations wing.

Other possibilities for you is to take up marketing job with new upcoming E-commerce companies or ISPs, who needs marketing guys who knows little bit of everything in the field, rather than the depth of any field.

Please explore with them for a suitable opportunity.

All the best.

Your counsel.
