Hi Deepak ! Marketing is indeed a good career opportunity for an Engineer-MBA like you, though, I would suggest that you switch to technology products, services and solutions rather than financial products like Insurance. Of course, it all depends on your aptitude also. I understand Hari Raghavan, who is also a visually challenged management graduate is on the business development side at IBM.
Content development is also a good option, if you have the flair for writing and communication. Alternatively, you could get into software coding, testing or system administration functions too. Quite a few of Access Indians are doing well in these careers. Have you considered the employability enhancement training programmes recently announced by NAB, Enable India, Mitra Jyothi etc ? These institutes have a good track-record of placing eligible candidates with reputed IT & ITES companies. You could also contact Anubhuti Mittal, a HR consultant based at New Delhi who has helped many PWDs launch their careers. Finally, in this recessionary situation when private players are cutting staff strengths, one should also seriously look at PSUs and banks. Lots of them are on a recruitment spree, thanks to the elections. Here, we are eligible for reservations too. Hope this helps. Wish you all the best and do write if you need more inputs.
