In person Drop Experience

I went for dropping my CV and cover letter in my dream institute i.e. Government College University Lahore. First, I made some research about the timing by calling in the department about when I could meet the Head of Department. I prepared my elevator pitch, made my CV and cover letter ready and took a good sleep. Next morning, I got up and reached there 30 minutes earlier. When I went, I found out that Madam was busy in a meeting, so I had to wait for extra two hours. I was a bit nervous because it was my first meeting ever, but I tried some relaxing exercises and I thought to myself of all the courage and positive energy I have and by doing so I relaxed. I met the HOD and introduced myself very confidently and she gave me time to speak so I was able to tell all I wanted to. She listened to me carefully and noted my name in her diary. She also took my CV and cover letter. I Greeted her and left her office. Overall my experience was good, I was able to overcome my nervousness and now I am feeling more confident and relaxed, that in any of my next meeting I will not be nervous. I learned that being in time favours you to calm down and relax yourself and it gives you some time to revise the points you want to discuss. I also learned that it is better to take appointment rather than just asking about meeting so that you don’t have to wait much.
