My Dream Job.
Submitted by: shekhar saroj
mumbai, INDIAI am 24 and living my dreams.
I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to Rhonda thousands of times! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.
This is the story of how I got my dream job. I completed my education in chemistry and was looking for a job in an MNC pharmaceutical company. I always wanted to work in a lab, doing experiments. My friends got their jobs and settled in, but I thought I was left behind and felt very sad. I decided to try ‘The Secret‘ way. I chose a well-reputed pharma company and sent them my resume, believing that I would surely get the job.
When my friends found out about my dream, none of them supported me and told me to look for other opportunities, as that company does not recruit freshers and it is a really big firm, so the chances of getting a job were very low, almost none. I smiled because I knew that I was going to get this job no matter what. I kept visualizing myself in the company doing research and testing things.
Months passed by but there was still no reply. Then, one day, I got a call from an unknown number. The voice said, ‘Hello, is this Shekhar?’ I said, ‘Yeah, speaking.’ He said, ‘OK, Shekhar, this is HR calling from XXX company. We have received your CV, and we have an urgent position vacant in our company. Can you come for an interview?’ I was like, ‘Oh God!’ I said, ‘Sure, sir.’
Then, another miracle happened. He asked me to come with all my IDs, my address and other required documents so that all the paperwork could be done as early as possible. This was a clear indication that I was almost hired before the interview.
I went for it. The interview happened, and my performance was ok. They told me to wait outside. Ten minutes later, they called me and said, ‘We need an immediate starter. so can you start tomorrow?’ I had nothing more than a huge smile on my face and a little tear in my eye. Thank you!
It all happened like a boom. I could not believe that I was jobless yesterday, and today I have my dream job, a permanent position, and exactly the work I wanted to do. I am so grateful to everyone for sharing their stories and giving positive energy to the world.
