Experience
This week we were given the task of in person drop of resume and cover letter to a company or some institution and we also had to practice our elevator pitch.
I chose to drop my CV personally at National School. First of all, I customized my cv and cover letter. I know the name of Principal. I went to National School and met with Principal of School. Her name is Nighat Cheema. I started my elevator pitch and I handed over my CV and Cover letter to her.

She read my CV and Cover letter and asked some questions from me. I was mentally prepared for all these questions because I had already learned all these tips while preparing for interviews. I used the “story telling” technique to relate my previous experience with job and tried to show passion by relating their vision with my personal goals that I want to help youth to improve at all walks of life by helping them improve personally.She really impressed from me. She offer me teacher job for Physics subject but I told her that I am only interested in Biology subject. I want to only teach Biology subject but she told me that they have no vaccancy for Biology teacher because they have already Biology teacher. They need Physics teacher. I said, no problem when you need biology teacher you can call me any time. She said, okay when we need biology teacher I will inform you and she submitted my CV and Cover letter.
