You must have inferred so many things on reading the emotional narrative of a Fresher in search for a job. I received so many feedbacks on the narrative and everybody identified with the protagonist in some way or the other. That reveals that at some point in our life most of us have gone through a similar phase in life. So what did we learn from that? Can we ask this question from ourselves?
Jay is considered to be the fiercest of interviewer in his company. Even the most confidents start shivering by the end of the interview session. Jay is a Sr. Manager in a Multi National company and is regarded very high for his excellence. He has achieved this success with sheer hard work though his CV doesn’t flaunt an academic brilliance or any high achievement as in regards to academics. He has an MBA degree from a not so highly regarded institute. His early days were tough and had to struggle a lot to reach at this position. Why has he become the fiercest? Do we need fierce interviewers? We can find so many Jays around us. Have you given a thought, what has made them so?
Yes, it is the struggle, the rejections, the hard landing after a carefree college life that made him the fiercest. He had been rejected umpteen times for God knows what reasons before he got his first job as a data entry operator. It is a different story, how he reached this far from there but this tug-of-war with his destiny really turned him into the fiercest. He, as if is taking revenge from every interviewee for all the rejections that he faced.
This is just one story. There are many more around us. What do we do when we suffer? We try to settle our scores with whoever comes next in front of us in a similar situation. What is our reasoning?
When I have struggled so much than how can he get it so easily?
So make him suffer or struggle? This is what we have learnt from our suffering?
What do we do after we get our first break? We move on with our life, our career and leave behind those struggling days. And what happens when one day, you in your swanky car, waiting for the signal to turn green see a blank stare from a pair of eyes from the window of the local bus with may be a folder with a stack of his resumes in his lap? Feel nostalgic, recall your days of struggle and move on when the signal turns green?
Food for thought!
