Fortune favor's Brave

“Fortune favors brave”

It is every young person's dream to achieve a good position through education. I was also the first woman in my family to become a mechanical engineer with a B.Tech degree, so naturally, everyone had high expectations of me. I had heard from some people that having a degree in hand would help you get a better job. Before arriving, I had the job offer letter in hand, and I had the hope of a good career in my eyes. I had also carefully completed my studies, but my ambitions were dashed when the studies concluded and there was no work. For a middle-class family, 4 to 5 lakh rupees is a large sum; it was difficult to bear the cost of education; family members expected me to get a job after finishing my studies. And when I will be able to earn a living. I will help my parents by paying for the rest of my siblings' education.

Going back home in such a state and then doing the same business without becoming a burden on my parents was not acceptable to my self-esteem, so I talked to some other people like myself and decided not to go back home. Whatever happens, we will keep looking for work. Three boys travelled to another city with me and agreed to look for work. Their reasons for looking for work may have varied, but the goal was the same for everyone. They do not jeopardies their self-esteem.

Without wasting time, the next day, a group of four people went hunting for work in an unknown city where we didn't have a place to live or eat. One was a single girl with three boys. I was afraid as well, but there was no other way to rescue her self-esteem after travelling in the bus from dawn to dusk. I had arrived in a new place with only a bag on my shoulder and pocket money in my pocket. Standing at the bus stop, wondering where to go next, everyone decided to find a place to spend the night first, seeing many rooms for rent nearby, but no one willing to rent a room to a girl with three boys, The money in our pockets did not allow for various rooms; we were tired of weariness and not being able to find a place to reside. I was losing courage; it appeared that I had made a mistake.

We all agreed that we would talk last about this house, and if he refused here as well, we would go back to our own house after catching the bus. Seeing the landlord's appearance, I felt that he would not agree, but I still bravely asked for the room, and what he said, I could not believe. He agreed. He allowed four people, of which there were three boys and a girl, to stay in the room together. The rent for the room was within our budget. Fortune favors the brave. Today, this statement sounds like the truth.

We just had a room with no bed and no other comfy stuff, so a neighbor in the neighborhood gave us a mattress to sleep on, on which four of us laid our bodies, sleeping with the rest of our bodies on the ground.

After leaving the house in search of a job, where and why, without asking myself any questions, in search of answers, after reaching the consultancy, I felt like getting a job was not difficult. They asked for 500 rupees per head. We deposited the money without any thought. As soon as he took the money in hand, he asked for more money. He said there was a consulting fee, so now you deposit Rs 5000 and get the job. Then we'll find jobs for you with guarantees.

Now we realized that fraud had occurred with us. We asked for our deposits back, but those people did not return our money. With a sad heart, we returned to our room. Why don't we make a direct call to the company and find out whether the opening is there or not, as a friend suggested? We all got excited and started calling after finding the company number. Most of the people's answers were disappointing. One or two people agreed to meet.

We all arrived at that person's address, and upon seeing four people, they were perplexed as to whom to hire, as they only had one available position. After interviewing all of us, they hired one of us. We were all happy, and the ray of hope was still shining. One suggested visiting the company's gate to find out about the opening. We distributed our resume to every small and large company present in the entire industrial area. Everyone had the same answer; they would call and inform, go to different industrial areas for about two weeks, and return after distributing resumes to each company. The ray of hope began to burn again. Then I realized there was one more spot remaining. If not, I'll have to return home. At first, I got a job in a very small factory, earning 7000 rupees a month, and then promised to increase my money. Thinking it's better to have something than nothing, I said yes. On the same day, another partner also got a job. All three together gave courage to the remaining one and hoped to get a job soon.

We three friends went to work the next day. Everything was new. The pay was lower, but we were thrilled since we got this job because of our own abilities.

In the evening, all of our pals returned from work and told us about our working environment. We decided that we would soon take different rooms and focus on our work.

But the very next day, my boss made such a demand on me that I couldn't meet; he touched me inappropriately, and I thought it was okay to run away without wasting a minute. The other colleague's boss asked him so much on the very next day of work that he too could not stay there, and the third companion also left their jobs, and we were all sure somewhere that the one with us had a job, but in the evening we were all unemployed.

Where do I begin? I was standing in the same location as before.

With the passage of time, our savings began to dwindle, and it appeared that we would have to return home without a job. However, the same person living in the neighborhood once again assisted us and obtained the job of the 4th partner, assuring us that we would complete all the jobs gradually. After exactly a week, I received a job offer from the same company. The contractual basis job was the same salary of Rs. 7000/month, and the atmosphere of the company was very good, so there was no problem. Slowly, the remaining two companions were hired by the same company, and we all used to work hard and diligently.

As a result, the rest of the company's personnel were equally impressed, and I had no idea when a month had passed. First wage in line with the workforce It was the misery of living life like this after taking an engineering degree that the laborer's taught me to do all the work, whatever they used to do, sit up with them, share their delight and sadness, and that is what I discovered. A sentimental There was a sense of attachment with them; we were all pals going on learning work and were ready to complete our provisional term of 6 months. We were hopeful that the 6-month letter would arrive. We were supposed to be awarded the position of firm employees as soon as we finished, but that did not happen.

Our hearts were severely wounded; I'm not sure why it felt so horrible this time to collect a wage by standing in line, and we believed we'd find work somewhere else. I think that we all left the job. The two companions went back to their home. I and one of my companions remained, searching for jobs in many places but did not get the job. We became jobless again and remained jobless for 6 months. The savings were depleted, we were indebted, but the insistence was still the same not to go back home. The situation had deteriorated to the point where even two times the money for bread was gone. Both of us shared even half a plate of rice. I had also withdrawn the provident fund money, so when all hope was lost, I packed the items to go home.

Only then did I get a job offer. So I quickly said yes because it was the vendor company of the old company, and the optimism was still alive because, along with my joining, my friend also obtained a job, also at 15K/Month. Our financial situation improved within three months, and we were back on track. While working on the job, with a total work experience of one year, job offers began to come in from other companies as well. Everything was fine until demonetization occurred in India, causing many people to lose their employment. We were one of them. The companies from which the offers were coming also put a hold on the new joining. We had suffered the depression of unemployment, but now there was pressure from the family side. They wanted a certain part of the salary. We joined without wasting time, taking calls from morning till evening, without apologizing to them. I've made some new friends. I pray to God every day to return to my main field. Prior to joining the call center, I thought call centers were a poor place to work, but after working there, I discovered how mistaken I was. After working in a call center for about a year, a multinational company finally offered me a job. At the same time, my friend got a job offer from a multinational company. I was offered a job in another city. At the same time, I didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, but at the same time, I couldn't stay away from my friend. I had lived the most difficult phase of my life with him. We shared happiness, sorrow, hunger, thirst, everything with each other. Our friendship had turned into love. The thought of separating from each other used to scare our minds, yet our minds confirmed the joining date. I tried a lot to understand my mind, but I could not leave it. Again, I depended on someone else's salary. For 3 months without a job, my friend took care of me, and after that, I again got a job offer from an OEM company. At the same location, I eventually got a position as a mechanical engineer, and I've been working for that company for four years now, with the responsibilities of the production department's head. It is assigned. I have 150+ manpower in which most of the women are much older than me. Some are even older than my mother. I am hard-hearted towards them. I am also soft-hearted towards them. Because I feel that whatever I am today is because of them. When I look back on my life, I wonder if I can retrace my steps in my troubled times. Where would I be today if I hadn't resisted? Today I am pleased with myself. I have established my own career. People claim there are shortcuts for girls, but there are no shortcuts to success.
