Perfect Job
Submitted by: Supriya Phadnis
Mumbai, IndiaWorking for State Bank of India.
I completed my masters in economics in 2009. I also completed a diploma course in yoga. Since then I have been working as a yoga instructor. My mother is currently working for the central bank that is The Reserve Bank Of India and my father works for UCO bank. Both are government sector banks. In India working for a government sector bank is a BIG deal! So I have wanted the same kind of a job. But there is a lot of competition.
So I quit my job in April 2012 and started preparing for the exams. This was my first attempt. Normally it takes at least 3 attempts to crack these exams. This year out of one million, only eleven thousand people were selected. And I was one of them!
Currently I am employed with the biggest bank in India. The State Bank of India. And I am extremely happy that my parents are so proud of me.
During the time of preparation last year, whenever I was travelling and if I happen to see the bank I would tell the person with me that “Look at MY bank” or “I am their future employee”. I printed visiting cards of my name with the bank’s logo on it and stuck it in places where I would see them frequently.
Right now I have got a position which is never given to new recruits. People who have worked with the department for around 3 to 4 years get this position. I am a PA to the Chief General Manager for Rural Business all over India.
The universe always gives the best! Just have faith and you will receive more than you have wished for!
