Suggest a work field

[Hamza_]

I need some serious suggestion for some sort of work/job i need to look forward to.

I will start off by telling few things about myself, I'm personally an introvert type of person, Not really alot expressive but good on understanding things and rationales. Also i like numbers personally and finding facts/data etc.

Sometimes i think of business advisory in firms but then drop it due to some reasons.

I read alot of business articles, articles related to kpis and sort of data/business process. Also coming from acca background is big factor for that

If anyone wants to ask anything further please post in this thread, Pretty worried about what I would be good at and in what ill be able to make a good living.

Telesales?

I myself am introverted, and interested in a career working with data. I think you could look for something in administration.

[MENTION=57506]hadi123[/MENTION] Telesales would involve typical negotiating and stuff i believe? I dont think ill indulge into that well.

[MENTION=2826]sHaK[/MENTION]oz1408 What sort of administration?

I believe some sort of KPI setting, data recording+reporting will be good but what exactly will that be? Management accounting also one to look for i believe not sure how many management accounting jobs will be there in Pakistan...

In telco & isp's or large businesses of various nature, data analyst is available although they might not necessary call it by that term & their job is to mainly compile data, observe patterns in data & compile reports based on their observation, make business cases based on analysis, create future proposals/plans or help the upper management decide what course of action is appropriate for the future. In my limited knowledge, small firms or companies don't hire data analysts due to the small scale of their business. These type of jobs come into play & have great significance when business scale is large & decision making by the big bosses impact a lot in terms of employees & revenues.

Also business analyst is available in lot Of IT, software & telecom companies & these two jobs have bit of similarities. Look it up, it might help you

Yes exactly as business analyst/sort of internal consultant. I like KPI and data sort of stuff.

Will look into telecom industries however IT/Software companies would be complex rather as their operations are likely to be pretty different than other businesses?

Yeah. I just gave IT/Software as an example. Rest you can look into investment firms, large businesses of any sort, even some government departments/ministry as well

[MENTION=142288]TQ89[/MENTION] Im looking online for them. What sources do you suggest to search out?

 

[TQ89]

Well i really don't know what to suggest you as this requires a professional's opinion and I just have basic idea about this occupation.

Tell you what tho, search fb & linkedin groups related to your interest. Join a lot of them & then monitor which group is active a lot & has quality posters. If the group is worth it, it will have some kind of pinned post detailing information to help beginners. Learn that & ask smart questions in the group.If its a quality group run by professionals, you will get valuable feedback & guidance from it. Just be sure to ask smart questions, not the common how to do this or that (as this is perceived as lazy by pros/veterans & never gets answered) & I am sure they will be more than happy to help you out. In time you can even connect with an experienced guy in the market & let him be a mentor of sort.

Other than that search elance or any other freelancing website, you might find an assignment related to your interests. Also if you want to learn more about your profession, search course related to it on udemy & coursera. I hope you can benefit from this.

Since you've mentioned acca, business and like to analayse data, I'd suggest the Actuary profession.

[MENTION=143714]Kroll[/MENTION] Anything more specific to business analysis and reporting.

I'm no expert as I'm not in this field myself, but there are specific roles such as business analyst/data reporting analyst etc. The actual role would depend on whatever industry or company you work for. But they would all involve an understanding of business KPIs, the data flow and other factors such as dependencies for master data management.
