In-Person Drop
Life demands continuous struggle. Behind the success stories of the world, people met many hardships and a lot of challenges. Keen hard work and ever strong determination is required to cope with those challenges.
Last Monday I decided to go on #extra mile. I went to my dream company Captain Chemicals limited for an in person drop to call for internship. I have gone through research about company. I was nicely dressed and equipped with my updated #Resume and cover letter. I greatly rehearsed my elevator pitch for many times. I also practiced my success stories as well as weakness stories, body language verbal and non-verbal and voice quality in front of mirror. My elder brother lend me a helping hand in this regard.
I went to office of industry at 9 am, by the permission of gatekeeper I got access to HR department, here I met Mr. Hasan Mehmood Senior clerk a funny man, introduced myself to him than given elevator pitch. He was little inspired and provided my fine feedback and e-mail ID of himself and HR Dr. Naeem. I found many areas of improvements. I send him thank you email by following all instructions of business writing and paragraphing format of thank you email.
I sent my internship application along with resume and cover letter to HR Dr. Naeem.
After two days I received reply, my joy knew no bounds to see call for interview on 18th September at 9 am.
