Avoid procrastination by staying focused on goals and prioritizing tasks. 4. Focus on personal growth, rather than comparing yourself to others. 5. Set clear boundaries and prioritize tasks to maintain productivity. 6. Maintain a polite and friendly demeanor, even in virtual interactions. 7. Use video conferencing tools to stay connected with colleagues. 8. Prioritize integrity by delivering high-quality work. 9. Take ownership of your career by setting goals and seeking feedback. 10.

In my opinion it is the best possible profession for a job seeker. There can not be any better organisation which can give you satisfaction in all walks of life. It gives ample opportunities to hard working and innovative thinkers. It teaches one the best possible lessons on HR and Management. In Army you get an opportunity to be a leader, a teacher, a pupil, a student, a mentor, a socialist, a welfare officer, an advocate, a judge. I would say you name a trade and Army provides one an opportunity to work in it. The best part is you come across people from all possible corners of the country and all possible cultures. The experience one gains out of this needs no explanation. Army also provides enough opportunities to travel and work abroad, exposes one to latest technologies, adventure, managing disasters etc. To sum up I can only say given another opportunity I will again join Army and would like to serve till my last breath....Read More

Compensation though is decent but in comparison to bureaucrats it is quite less. Biggest problem is slower promotions and stagnation. The systematic downgrading of status of defense forces is also demoralizing

I don't actually work at the Ministry of Defence—I'm here to provide information, answer questions, and help with creative ideas. But if you're curious, people who work there might appreciate the purpose-driven mission, unique challenges, and sense of service to the country. The Ministry offers opportunities to work on significant projects in national security, collaborate with skilled professionals, and develop diverse technical and leadership skills. If you're interested in learning more about specific roles or opportunities, I can help with that too!...Read More

Since I don’t actually work at the Ministry of Defence, I don't have personal experiences to share. However, people working there might face some common challenges, like strict protocols and security clearances, which can limit flexibility and sometimes slow down processes. Roles in defense also often come with high levels of responsibility, and some might find the long hours or high-stakes nature of the work to be demanding. Additionally, depending on the position, there can be restrictions on work-life balance and the ability to discuss job details with others due to confidentiality requirements....Read More
