Hello everyone,

In order to complete his engineering degree, a friend of mine needs to gain professional experience in another country. His current company has a branch in India, so he would like to apply for a placement there to complete his training

He was born in India but has spent most of his life in Europe, so he’s not really familiar with the local job application customs. From what he has heard, resumes in India tend to be linear, with a simple layout, no photos, and little use of colour, unlike resumes commonly seen in western countries. But I’d rather ask locals who are truely familiar with the indian job market to make sure he doesn’t unintentionally make any cultural faux pas and rubs the recruters the wrong way unknowingly

He speaks both the local language and english fluently, and it's for a compagny in the tech/aerospace field

Are there any specific Indian resume conventions or cultural expectations he should be aware of? For example, what informations should he highlight, what format is generally preferred, and are there any common mistakes applicants should avoid?

Thank you for taking the time to read and for any of your advices!

30M here. It's funny how adult life becomes so predictable — work, responsibilities, the same familiar faces, the same conversations.

And then, occasionally, you meet someone completely random who has the right sense of humour, challenges your opinions, teases you a little, and somehow makes you look forward to talking to them again.

No grand expectations. Just that rare connection where the conversation flows effortlessly and you lose track of time.

So I'm curious: have you ever met someone online who started as a complete stranger but ended up making your everyday life a little more exciting? What made that connection different?

Genuinely interested in hearing your experiences.

I live in Tier 2 city, and I've struggled with education-learning as kid due to health, both physical and mental wise. So I've barely passed my school & college education, in the sense as sometimes got average decent score other times not so good.

Mainly I didn't learn as I was not in state to focus back then. So I got no knowledge of anything, did odd part times which were of no use - I choose the easy ones due to focus issues. Now been taking care of myself past year more with fam support, but personal bills been increasing and as middle class, feel horrible for not being about to help fam responsibilities even as I'm in mid 20s now.

I'm not looking to move rn, mentally nor financially can't right now.

I'm not techie, I researched few, like my small interest - photography, it doesn't earn well unless decade experience, so its only hobby. I looked at Business/Analyst, Consultant, etc but unclear. I want to do something but don't know where to start. Made posts on it but didn't get much response.

I want to know about how career is in Tier 2 and what are the things I can do, learn and earn well soon. Please kindly do share what you know guys!!

Hi everyone,

I have a Kotak 811 account, and I recently discovered that ₹1,199 was paid towards a Kotak Group Smart Health insurance policy.

I received an email titled “Kotak insurance alerts” stating that my policy had been issued successfully and that the premium of ₹1,199 had been received.

The problem is that I did not knowingly consent to purchasing this insurance policy. I want to understand how the policy was enrolled in my name and how I can recover my money.

Has anyone faced a similar situation with Kotak Mahindra Bank?

I would appreciate advice on the following:

1. How do I dispute an insurance policy that I did not knowingly agree to purchase?

2. Can I request immediate cancellation and a full refund of ₹1,199?

3. Should I complain to Kotak Bank, the insurance company, or both?

4. Can I escalate this to IRDAI through Bima Bharosa if Kotak does not resolve the complaint?

5. What evidence should I request from Kotak to establish how my consent was obtained?

I have retained the confirmation email and will keep the policy documents and transaction details as evidence.

I would appreciate advice from anyone who has successfully obtained a refund in a similar situation.

Thank you.

I’ve done everything I can think of to get myself off Bajaj Finance’s calling list. I registered for DND. Reported the calls on Sanchar Saathi. Reached out to Bajaj Finance’s team.

And what’s their response? These are independent agents, and they can’t control them.

What a fucking convenient excuse.

These agents are selling Bajaj Finance’s products and getting paid for it. But when they start harassing people, suddenly nobody is responsible. Bajaj Finance gets the business, the agents get their commissions, and the rest of us get to deal with 100s of unwanted calls. Everyone benefits except the person being harassed.

I’m honestly tired of businesses getting away with this shit.

If you’re fed up too, DM me. I’ll share an Excel sheet with the personal email and mobile number of Bajaj Finance’s management. Reach out to them and tell them exactly how you feel about their sales practices. Maybe they should experience a fraction of the frustration their customers deal with every day.

And if there are other businesses pulling the same shit, mention them in the comments. I'll share their details as well.

If they can’t stop the harassment, they shouldn’t get to hide behind the people doing it.

Hi All.I am writing this mail seeking genuine advice on the below issue.

I am based in Dubai with my family.When my daughter came to Kerala for her graduation she had taken a VI prepaid connection.Later she went to Bangalore for her Post Graduation.Since she faced network issues there she ported her sim to Jio.After her studies she came back to Dubai.Since the mobile number is linked to her Aadhar card and bank account we were paying monthly from there online to retain the number.

Now i came to Kerala for a short visit and find out that the payments i was doing in jio platform was not getting credited and since there was no usage for over 6 months Jio returned back the number to the parent network VI.Today i went to VI store in Pattom, Trivandrum to pay for a yearly package and retain the number.But i was told by the store manager that VI put the number in Postpaid category and to get back the number i not only have to join the postpaid plan but also create a family plan.No one in my immediate family has a VI connection.Store manager casually told to ask someone in my family to port to VI to start family plan and it would cost only INR.850 something per month and i can revert back to prepaid after 4-5 months.Why should somebody be forced to join VI family just to retain the number.

I was particular to have the number retained because its linked to Aadhar and bank account.

I would like to know if this is an ethical practise followed by VI, has anyone faced a similar situation, is the store manager forcing me to take a family plan and giving me inaccurate information.Can i address it with a competent authority.Is there a solution to this issue.

Any valuable advice to reailve this issue is highly appreciated.Thank you.
