“Going An Extra Mile”

#In Person Drop

In order to work in your dream company is something you need to going an extra mile and drop your resume and cover letter to an HR Manager personally. This task is not that much easy as compare to drop your resume and cover letter by E-mail. For this one might face some hurdles and challenges as well. So, there is need to reducing your fears and take an extra step think out of the box and move towards your dream journey.

To do something more by putting more efforts that distinguish you from others and leads you to the is success is your “ Extra mile’’. All the success stories of great hero’s gave us inspiration of going extra mile.

“Dale Carnegie said, People work for money but go the extra mile for recognition, praise and rewards.”

Similarly success can not be achieved in a single day, it requires consistent hard work, commitment and extra mile because “Excellence is going the extra mile”

I committed to implement this tool in my life as long lasting habit. I decided to go extra mile by In Person Drop, for the in person drop I have prepared my updated resume , cover letter and elevator pitch by doing more research about the institute.

I want to drop my resume and cover letter in person at Habib Bank Limited so I met with Area manager firstly then met with HR manager it was a short discussion between us. He is very kindly and show interest due to my passion and confidence. He said we will call you soon for interview. I said thankyou for your time and consideration and came back.

In Pakistan, the unemployment increases with the change of time. Every year thousands of students graduate from different universities and colleges and competition increases with the increasing number of graduate. according to research.

So, the significant change in number of graduates alarming us for great competition in government and private sector. In this way, we have to utilize our selves for the preparation of different stages for getting the job. We have to find different ways for getting the job. You have to come out of comport zone and try something different from others.

I faced many challenges like I kept my nerves calm and took long breath and also, he is so busy and getting his time was also big challenge for me after waiting I met him.

I have learned that if you are passionate enough and willing to put efforts you can achieve anything. This activity learned me that you have to go anextramile, do something out of normal, come out from your comfort zone to be prominent and successful. This was really an interesting and fruitful activity. I was feeling nervous before going but it brought confidence in me.

I will prepare even better for my next interview keeping in mind all that I have learned by this experience and I am sure I will succeed after improving myself further in this regard.

I would suggest that everyone who wants to be above average and wants to excel in life has to go an extramile. As far as your dream place concerned you must be super prepared and should know a lot about them and its other publically available data so you can make the “SUPER HERO” impression. We should try to overcome fear of nervousness. It is just fear which stop us from going an extra mile.
