Hello friends, in this post I'm about to embark and illustrate on the moments of my life when I'm trying to find a job. My childhood is all about watching cartoons and english movies. I didn't study much in my primary and high schools, i just listened the lessons taught by the teachers and wrote the answers to the questions asked in final exams with little related information only. As I'm a 90s kid, my knowledge was upto the mark as much as the newspaper articles about science and i think its pretty low. After completion of high school i joined intermediate college. Even in those times too i didn't showed much interest in studying the subjects. Only listening to the class and attempting to score in the final exams. Those two years of my life were over with a pretty good score while still managing to watch cartoons and Hollywood movies. After intermediate i try to prepare for the entrance exam of B-Tech and joined a short term coaching centre. From there i got not much of a good rank and while in councelling i choose one engineering college eligible for my rank. Engineering in india is a four year academic education, but for me it took five years due to my lack of attending collage regularly. Fifth year has taught the things which all the four years combined hasn't taught me. After completion of my engineering, for the first three months i was waiting fpr the supplimentary results. In those months i didn't even care to think what should i do after the results. I barely just passed engineering.
After so many days of thinking i decided to go to Bangalore and search for a job. In engineering my platform is Computer Science Engineering. After going to Bangalore, i was welcomed with the most comfortable climate conditions i hadn't encountered in my life time. Up until then i lived where winter is like the summer in Bangalore. Due to comfortable weather i was accustomed to sleep and eat way of staying in PG. I didn't even tried any job interviews and learn to know the basics of the minimum programming skills required by the computer science student. After six months staying in bangalore, i got bored returned to my native place. Where i joined a bank coaching centre to land a bank clerk or PO job. These charade lead to one year of my time wasted. Then i fed up with not getting the bank job, i had gone to Hyderabad. In there i had stayed for almost one and half year and attended only two years based on software testing jobs. Offcourse i didn't get the job. After that i again gone to Bangalore. There i had joined one fake company which provides payslips and bank statement and offer letters and necessary documents to attend an interview for experienced people. I tried and wasted my time and money.
After five years of completion of my engineering i landed on a basic salary paying small company on VAPT. I was assigned to Delhi on a project from Bangalore. Within a small span of time i was attracted to the job and tried my best to do the best. In those five years while i was not exactly trying to get a job, but just for the sake of others only i was attending the interviews. But, the satisfaction i got during this job was really something. When it comes to somethings, its a matter of time that you have to realise that you are the only one who can do things for you, not others. If you do things which you are supposed to do then the time will come where your life will cherish. I really like my job at that time because after getting bored in life due to not doing anything useful for like five years, then you would do anything to distract oneself from getting bored.
I wanted to be a game developer. But due to not preparing well for the goals i had set to achieve, i didn't get my dream job. Atlast i was compromised to do a job thats a job that pays. I don't blame myself for not getting my dream job as i didn't do much to get it. Its just passed over me and make settle for any job due to boredom i faced in all those five years. Hope you guys like my experiences i share here.
