My Career journey so far

I am a design enthusiast with over 7 years of experience in the industry. I started as a Web Designer in 2015 at an MNC and, with time, gained experience in creating websites and apps. After getting multiple feedback from the sales team about our technical design having an impact on marketing goals, I became interested in learning branding and marketing. Hence, I decided to learn and explore the marketing side of the business and came across Digital Marketing. 

The Challenge

With a growing interest in digital marketing, my ambition for promotion and higher pay led me to upskill. As much as I was looking for opportunities to upgrade my skill set, I wanted to advance in my professional career, and digital marketing seemed to be the right choice for me. So, after rigorous research, I enrolled myself in the Digital Marketing Specialist Certification from Simplilearn as a step toward my upskilling journey.  

The Simplilearn Solution

Learning from Simplilearn was amazing. With tons of exercises to work on, I was exposed to industry-like cases that helped me a lot. The live sessions were based on my availability, with a very flexible and convenient schedule. For me, blended learning has to be the top feature as live sessions coupled with self-paced learning were a very effective learning approach for working professionals like me. I thank the mentors and the team for providing a wonderful learning journey and the best career counselling.

GOT NEW PROJECTS

As documented by Ashish Kumar Biswas

Working in the corporate world for more than fourteen years enriched me with loads of practical experience, knowledge, and skills. I also worked as a career counselor and branding during that period. However, with an urge to face more challenges and brush my conceptual understanding, I decided to change my career path. I was willing to educate students on the core concepts to students but was limited by the unavailability of a degree. This led to the beginning of a new journey that involved Simplilearn.   

The Journey 

I hold diverse experiences, with the first eleven years of expertise coming from the area of sales and marketing, concept selling, team building, and people management. I worked in brand names like Naukri.com and Rediff.com, which helped my professional development. Apart from this, I also continually worked on personal branding and conducted workshops for students on topics like career counseling. These provided me with wide exposure, interaction, and networking. Post these paths; I wanted to work as an educator and impart my knowledge and skills to young minds with growth potential. I believe in a life goal that education is best served by experience than solely by educators. 

The Challenge 

However, to enter a university as an educator required a certification or degree and brush up on my skills.. I looked for online platforms to manage the journey of my new education with other personal chores and work. Finding a good quality educational platform was difficult among many options. Additionally, the reliability factor further blurs the judgment. 

Simplilearn Solution

The testimonials and Simplilearn customer service helped me take a final decision. I chose Simplilearn and do not regret my choice. The course was enriching. My instructor illustrated the topics with numerous examples and practical applications. His extensive knowledge and method of thoroughly explaining things made the learning experience enjoyable. I also appreciate the support team’s prompt responses to our inquiries. I recommend the platform and would encourage them to finalize their decision if facing a similar dilemma as mine.

As documented by Rukhsana Afsha

I am Rukhsana Afsha, a teacher holding five years of experience. I belong to Mandy, Karnataka, and have completed my Master’s in Computer Science. I wanted a change from monotonous life along with the knowledge to face new challenges, which encouraged me to take up the course. The decision has been great owing to the results, as I found both personal and professional growth. 

The Journey 

I did my Master’s in computer science, after which I joined the JSS Institute of Education as a faculty member. The experience was great but redundant. It lacked new challenges as well. Holding an interest in the field of Digital Marketing, my next decided move is to find a course and pursue the same to change my career path. 

The Challenge 

My previous work experience brought stagnancy in my career. With no room for growth, diversity, and challenges in the field, I had to look for new career paths. The hunt wasn’t easy, owing to finding a program that could easily balance with working life. Simlilearn seemed to be an intriguing option due to the multiple facilities offered by them. 

Simplilearn Solution

The blended learning approach made learning compatible with the job, thus becoming a primary criterion in finalizing Simplilearn. Apart from this, association with the top globally acclaimed university was an added benefit in beautifying my resume. The journey at Simplilearn enlightened me with loads of new things, with primary credit going to excellent and amazing teaching faculty, Mr. Manjunath. 

I gained a lot of knowledge and skills to implement it practically. Sir guided me with an in-depth knowledge of each topic like SEO, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Email Marketing, and Social Media Marketing. I even learned more about implementing the course with our future clients when we start working independently. 

Along with the project Support, even the backend team of Simplilearn was so good with immediate responses that helped me to complete projects on time. Even the Skill Up courses helped me a lot to gain more knowledge. Moreover, the notes from Simplilearn are always up to date. I am very happy and satisfied with the course.

I am an educator and Dean of Studies at inCHES Academy with a biotechnology background. My area of expertise includes molecular biology, biotechnology, research, and digital marketing. Being a course coordinator, I am accountable for the marketing training courses of the organization. Further gaining enhanced knowledge with a practical approach helped me earn a promotion to Vice President of Organizational Development and Customer Experience, coupled with a salary hike in the present role. 

The Journey 

I come from a Biotech background with MSc in Biotechnology from Mumbai University. Besides being skilled in Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, and Research, currently, I work as the Dean of Studies at inCHES Academy. Having been associated with InCHES for 6 years, my current responsibilities include Human Resource Management and Training and Quality and Communications Management. I help to build Customer Centricity within the organization and with the customers to manage customer feedback, drive service excellence, and support revenue enhancement programs. I am also the course coordinator and help market training courses for my organization. 

The Challenge 

Working full-time in inCHES, the projects required me to upskill for better knowledge. However, there was limited time for attending the courses to gain expertise. Furthermore, I needed a project for hands-on experience for better understanding. Finding all of these in a single educational platform with quality and a hybrid learning method was challenging. 

Simplilearn Solution

Keeping my job to learn more about new projects, I chose Simplilearn due to the availability of all the preferences I needed the most. The conceptual clarity from teachers and study materials delighted me. I could apply the learned concepts and techniques, which made my journey at Simplilearn and hard work fruitful. I applaud their course design that considers every level of candidates by being equally versed for freshers and professionals.

GOT NEW PROJECTS

As documented by Thomas Arokiaswamy 

Wanting to upskill in digital marketing, I was looking for affordable courses when I came across Mastering SEO by Indic AI and Simplilearn. Upon completion of the program, I was able to upskill and get a promotion with a 25% salary increment. 

My Career Journey So Far

I got polio in my right leg at a young age, so I had to drop out of school. But my mother was determined to get me educated and helped me return to formal education. Today, I am a B. Com graduate. I completed my graduation back in 2003. I started off as a lab assistant. Since then, I have done some small jobs like Data Entry and worked in call centers as a chat support executive. 

In 2014, I joined WSI ALM as a link-building executive and have been working there ever since. After seven years, I got promoted to SEO Accounts Executive at my company after taking the Mastering SEO – Indic AI and Simplilearn course. 

The Challenge

I was already working in the digital marketing domain. But after working there for a while, I wanted to increase my knowledge in the field to perform better at my job, so I decided to upskill myself. I thought that a professional certification in the same would be extremely beneficial for me to advance my career. 

Affordability was a huge concern, and I only came across courses that were expensive. I was looking for something that I could afford. That was when I heard about Simplilearn’s collaboration with Indic AI which aimed to provide premium professional courses at discounted prices for differently-abled students. 

The Simplilearn Solution

I took the opportunity and joined the Mastering SEO – Indic AI course. Indic AI sponsored the program. I had to pay only INR 5,000; the rest was paid for. 

It was easy to take the course on my computer. I have recordings of all the lectures that were given during the course. I did not face any obstacles. The batch was conducted in the morning, which was helpful since I work at night as my company is based in Canada.

I completed my BE in Electronics and Telecommunications. Afterwards, I joined LetsVenture as a Business Operations manager. I always wanted to join the Digital Marketing team, and for this, I needed guidance from industry experts. Simplilearn learning helped me take the first step in changing my industry and becoming a Senior Marketing Manager.

The Journey

After graduation, I joined LetsVenture, located in Bangalore as the Business Operations manager. This is a tech company that connects business founders to investors that helped me hone my skills and expertise in managing clients and business operations. 

After having five years of experience in this field, I decided to make a switch to the digital marketing domain. For this, I planned on getting professional certification from Simplilearn. Further, I joined Qualitas Technology Pvt. Ltd as the Senior Marketing Manager. 

The Challenge

Like everyone, I wanted to enhance my career graph, and for this, it was essential to upgrade my skill sets. In my first job position, I learned a lot about handling clients and managing business operations to generate profit. However, this was not enough to reach my ambition of becoming a digital marketer. More importantly, to get a well-paying job position in a new domain, it was vital to have knowledge of every tool and how to work with it. 

For this, I started searching for online platforms and courses that offer hands-on experience in the form of industry-based assignments and projects.
