Now that I have already started working and spent a couple of weeks of initial jittery feeling in the workplace, now I guess I can put my experience in words!!! Almost everyone who heard that I was on board said to me , “welcome to the big bad corporate world and within no time you would be hating work “
Ok… Coming to the positive side of working…. Here every1 assumes that money is the biggest motivator , but I would like to inform that it not so in my case because my salary is like peanuts !!! its meager and miserably low on pay scale ! But the motivating factor is that I have managed to get a job with a real reputed firm in the RECESSIONED WORLD and that profile is what I always wanted… In HR its said one can benefit maximum by working in the mfg sector and should close his / her eyes to low salaries so I am doing exactly the same.
And the feeling of being some one important and at a responsible position soothes my ego or u can say boosts me … People call me madam and respect me not because of my family connections but because of my own self…. I get this feel good kinda feeling when I actually help in some small or big way when people get recruited…
I feel nice about the fact that I am independent and can very well take care of my whatever basic needs are.. Nothing fancy though possible!!! And I also get motivated by the fact that I dint have to settle for a Consultancy job… And that I got this job based purely on my merit….
There were 2500 applications for this job..i myself deleted and managed the mail box once I had joined the company and almost 50-60 females had been interviewed for this single vacancy… There were no contacts that I used to get in….
Now working has been a dilemma situation for me in a way… I get real tired at the end of a working day. I get that big time drained and dog tired feeling…morning 6 o clock to evening 7 o clock go off in office..After coming back there is cooking, cleaning untensils, washing clothes and such daily chores that need to be taken care of…. By 10-11pm I m in bed and get up again at 6 am !!! This schedule is on for 6 days a week…. Is this the life I wished for.. What exactly did I want.. because every1 is supposed to work…Right ??? I have the right qualifications and the competency to work so I am working…. !!!
And equally disturbing fact is that with time I am gonna get more and more busy…. This is what life is and probably this is why Elders always told us to enjoy college life…. Till then we had been absolutely carefree….
In work place you function according to the fancies of your seniors , life gets hectic …. But the point is, What would I do if I don’t work… Unfortunately till now I have not found a mid way b/w Absolute free time and 100% tight tiring schedule.
In the workplace can you really trust people and make good friends out of them ? I suppose that generally the answer to this question is no… Ofcourse exceptions can always exist and u can manage to get good pals if u r really lucky….
The best strategy I feel is to take everyday as it comes and not think deeply about anything… Even work pressure needs to be taken up in a way that it doesn’t effect your well being in a negative way… And with time one definitely gets coated with a new upper thick layer which makes us immune to small and big useless issues…..
For now I like walking down to my bus stop in the morning, Doing office work, And trying to cook new things everyday at night…. I really have no clue as to till when I am going to like this hectic life but then…. The attitude is DON’T KNOW, DON’T CARE !!!! When I ll be fed up of this, I will definitely find something better and more appealing to do with my life…. Till Then…. JAI HR PROFILE AND THANKS SONA SOMIC for giving me a wonderful opportunity to start my career !!!!
