And that day was brimmed and packed with so much troubles and opposition that you truly feel,’’ Man! something is definitely wrong with me’’. It was raining and not just rain, the driver did not know the place, the transport was not working fine, no Wi fi was available to book the ride, the calls to company’s office were unresponsive, did not have time for breakfast, my sim was missing from my cell phone, my sleep was interrupted at 3 am due to rain and then I could not sleep for some more hours and fortunately or unfortunately I was under the covers of sleep by 6 am. Exactly at the same time I had to wake up and leave for university as per day routine, but I woke up at almost 6:30 am and was already a mess. The venture was simple and plain, going to office, cv drop and then coming back. But I encountered rain in the way and the area was totally unknown to me, adding to my lucky charms.

However, however I got into the office and asked the receptionist about the HR, and the answer was deadly encouraging. Meeting my hopes, the receptionist said, ‘’NOOOOO!!!!’’ and that was it. I tried to negotiate about it, tried to melt the human inside him but all in vain, the grapes were too high. And then came the passion, I told him that I will wait here for HR. Well, by that time the area of jeans around my ankles and shin was super drenched in rain, and so the AC was creating a freezing environment. The seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours, there was no sign of HR. The admin. manager came and sensing my enthusiasm and stubbornness, assured me a meet up with HR. After 3 hours, I left my cv at reception in a classy file cover along with a special note to HR manager. BTW I also added him on linked in.

Most of my time was spent staring at this image and thinking about samosaas…

Learnings:

Choose a day with a nice weather, make sure you complete your beauty sleep, write an email to company or give a call on reception and ask about the specific day activities of HR team for that day [could be a holiday perhaps, perhaps an eternal meeting etc.] Make sure you know the exact location from a reliable source and on and on. Lots of luck for your futures!
