Things ain’t the way they were before. Only change is permanent and this is the only thing that happens throughout the years and never stops. There was a time when people got jobs without having any degree or experience and there’s a time when you have to have more experience than your life.
Yesterday, I saw an ad about my field and I was shocked when I saw about related experience that was about 15 years while I was standing in front of the mirror. I fogged up that glass, made funny faces and laughed. What else was I suppose to do at that time? But this isn’t the only thing that matters, I thought, took a deep breath and went for soccer.
Well today, I had to hand my resume for a job at National Bank. I put my favorite dress on my own and hair well and went to hand over my resume there. I did research about the bank, read every thing related to my field and post and tried to touch the extra mile just to reduce the fear I had while going to drop my resume for the first time.
I reached there and in a mean while security guards gave me a glimpse in a way like I belong to ISIS, came here to bomb their entire empire and I was soaking in fears and even I stammered while saying Hello to them. In my head, I thought “why this bank hired these Monsters instead of Humans” and then the next thought struck and that was “ what if I get job there and joined these monsters”. I laughed in disguise but that made me normal while I went to meet HR.
I cleaned my throat before meeting him, and just put my fingers in my hair to make myself feel better. Then I met him, tried to introduce myself but he got a call and that was the first hinder and I got nervous at that time. The question was, what should I do because he was watching me consistently. It wasn’t a break even condition I guessed and had to leave an impression in that moment so I just kept smiling, a weary smiling face he had. I was nervous at that time because this was out of syllabus.
At last, call ended and I delivered my elevator pitch and he was happy after listening or hearing me. He said “I will inform you in the coming weeks so hold on” and I’m holding on. I sent a thank you e-mail when I came back.
If I will get job there, I’ll ask those guards to change their way of looking at people. I was a boy and they were watching me with those big heavy scary eyes, what If i girl would walked in, she would’ve blacked out after watching those guards.
