An Entry level job is the first job that a graduate takes upon completion of a degree program. Entry level in this sense refers to the entry point into a specific chosen profession. An entry level job may or may not require some level of work experience.

I had graduated so the point has come when I had to drop my resume and cover letter to a place where I could start my Entry level job. So I thought to start my career from a place of blessed and differently able kids “ Eilya Care Home” . Eilya Care Home is an NGO working for the special persons. I had volunteered there for a month during my graduation and after that I had a connection with them.

For this purpose I prepared my resume and cover letter. Also practiced elevator pitch and next day went to Eilya Care Home. Mam became so happy to see me there as she has always been so kind lady. I sat with her, told her my purpose of being there that I want to be a teacher of slow learners and want to serve her institute, handed over my resume and cover letter. She treated me very kindly and told me that whenever they will have a vacancy they will definitely call me.

She asked that why you want to join this institute not any hospital as a developmental psychologist. I told her about my passion for those kids. She smiled with her bright eyes. After having a great conversation with her, I came back home wandering what made this so easy for me? And came to know how my volunteer work payed me back in my starting level job. I never thought at that time that adding a drop of generosity in their lives will pay me back in such a blessed way.

My experience of dropping my resume for the first time went amazing. I will recommend everyone to do volunteer works at different places, it becomes an extra mile in starting your career. It makes your way towards career life easier.
