An Experience Of IN-Person Drop

I have to put a lot of courage in my mind because after interviewing an HR of UOL. She said that there is no concern of in-person drop of CV. In a student job, they don’t need of anyone some like passionate. They just need a good team worker, a person with efficient learning skills. So, there is a fear in my mind but I come over this and went for it.

First of all, I researched the UOL, where it is located, is there any job vacancies etc. I read the Job Description more clearly. Then I write my cover letter, a Super Hero Cover Letter according to the situation. I made ready my elevator pitch through which I will explain myself to the HR manager. I updated my CV a bit. I decided the day of visiting the company.

On that day, I dressed up professionally, put on some courage and book a Careem. I reached the UOL, I told peon that I come to drop my CV personally to your HR manager Ayesha Baig. After taking her time she decided to let me go to the office. I approached the receptionist and request her that can I meet with Ma’am Ayesha. I want to hand over my CV personally to her. Firstly, she was not allowing me to meet him. But, after I insist somehow she allowed me. Then I waited for Ma’am Ayesha. She came after an hour and I approached him in hurry. Firstly, I said Assalam o Alikum and then I introduce myself. I told her about the purpose of my visit. Then, she agreed to small interview. I spoke my elevator pitch. After that, she said have you applied online, have you mailed me your CV. I said yes I have. But, I want to personally meet and Handover my CV to you. He said that’s great. I personally go through your CV and then we will call you for the final interview. I said Allah Hafiz and came back home.

While coming back I was thinking that for what I fear about? It’s an amazing experience and I was shocked by the reaction of Ma’am Ayesha. In the end, I would like to thanks to Amal Academy that he put courage in me for that.
