I am writing
after few days just because I am confused about the way things are going in my
life. I have been thinking about getting a new job because I am not satisfied
with the present one. This is going on
for over a month and my conscious mind thinks that I deserve a better job. When
you see less deserving, less skillful and less qualified person becoming your team
leader, it is obvious to get these thoughts. I did journalism with a lot of hopes attached with it, that one day I will
do something which I will love and I will also get paid for it but the world
seems very cruel when things don’t go your way.
I have been
active on job portals more than at the current job to find something good. It has
hardly been a year and I am having second thoughts on my career. I know that I shouldn’t
get this impatient so early in my career but I could feel that I am struggling
in finding an appropriate place to show my skills which is a genuine problem of
this generation but more than that I am mentally suffering from it because of
professional and personal situation. The firm wants me to do something which I don’t
want and for which I didn’t sign up and whenever I see my mom’s face in a video
call asking me, if I have got salary hike or not I feel numb but eventually
find a way to divert her attention.
Let me share
something interesting which may worry you if you are my well-wisher. Yesterday after
waking up at 5:30 am and getting ready I went to an interview. The place was
big and I prayed to get a chance there but It was not meant to be a nice day
for me as I was thrown away gently in the first round itself. I was feeling
dejected, miserable and broke while coming back because it was a nice job.
Then
suddenly I thought let’s try somewhere else and convert this bad day into a
good day. I opened the gallery on my
phone and went to the screenshots column which I had taken last night and then called some random guy who was recruiting
people for something I didn’t know. I went to the place he called. It took me 2
hours to reach the place he called me and when I entered it I saw many people
waiting for something. Before I could understand anything I was asked to give
my CV. I gave him the CV and then after 9 hours and 6 rounds I was selected and
got the offer letter of 2,54,000. Because I was very feeling miserable I didn’t
take the interview seriously and was very casual in approach but I somehow
managed to impress them with the confidence and skill.
I asked them
to give me a week to think about joining,
and as of now, I don’t think I would be
able to make my mind to join it. The job
is in a reputed Multi-national BPO company where I have been assigned Senior
Operational something designation. My work will be to answer queries and
complaint of the Amazon customers through
e-mail but that’s not the job I gave my 3 three years in college for. I know
that I will not enjoy my outing in this firm and soon get out of it. This is just an example how I was unsure
about what I was doing and what I wanted.
