Missing My First Job....

First is always best in most of our life.... First schooling, First few close friends, First love, First outing at college etc etc... But the "First" always go very soon leaving a mark or pleasant memories to be cherished for life time.. To me my "first" employment was THE best...

Here I go narrating to you about my first job and how much I mean to it....

Having inspiration from my Father, I always wanted to work from my school days.. As soon as I finish my graduation I wanted to go for an job, this was the only plan I had for the future. Though I wanted to continue my learning process in the form of post graduation, all I thought was to work for a while(say three years) and then proceed to higher education. I have always been keen on knowing how it would be work and earn. But since completion of my graduation in June 2008 I never got an perfect opportunity so easily. Or put in other terms the recession dint like me getting on to the right job. But after a small struggling period of 6 months I got an oppurtunity to get hold of my First job oppurtunity which came on its way in Jan 11th 2009, though it wasn't in any way related to 4 years of my engineering studies...

Eagerly anticipating, I put my foot forward on to the first Job on 21st Jan 2009. Only very few dates in our life can be rememered till our death. This day is one like that to me.. First day on my work in life ever... The concern where I landed was a small one but had all the necessary aspects which one would expect out of working environment. The first day experience was little similar to my thoughts. Had the Induction program giving guidelines about what would be my job, intro of my collegues, Do's and Don'ts etc etc.... But after a weeks time my thoughts were eaten up by the experience which i encountered. It was much more than my thought process.. Had fun through out the day while performing my duties on job. Never had the stress of working under pressure. All throughout my tenure the work environment had the elements of hospitality & satisfaction of having come to work with an excellent team. The everyday lunch we had together, the bday parties we celebrated together and more than that the interviewies we joinedly performed still remains fresh to my eyes and close to my heart.

After having written quite a lot it would be fair on my part if I do not mention the company name of where I had all these memorable experiences. I worked for Falcon Services, an international placement company with its head office in Mumbai. I worked their as Jr. Recruiter. I do have to mention about G. S. Muthusamy, he is the sr. Consultant there, who gave the induction to me and since then full hand support in performing my job in every possible way he could. My other collegues were Murali & Santhosh. They both we real awesome collegues, never sure whether I would get to work with guys like them again. I really thank all of them who made my First employment so much enjoyable and sooo much memorable... Missing you all...

Though my journey in Falcon is very short, I had had a quiet a lot of experience which enable me to strenghten my soft skills and learnt the entire process of international recruitments.

Recently, I started with my new assignment Software support in Logic Information System who have Oracle Technology in their Base.. Though I never wanted to quit my first job, I shifted only to give justice to the fours of my Engineering studies. Hoping for the best to occur here....

I really wonder now, how I have written so much, am I the same girl who would search for the words even to write a single paragraph?? ... May be I have written the most interesting part of my life and most memorable events that I lived in my life....

Success

This is one of my favorite short story which I had read long before and I enjoy narrating it to all my friends from the time I have read it.. Here I go putting it in my own words... The story inspired me a lot and has got quite a lot of deep meaning to it..

Success....

There lived a boy who was inquisitive in knowing more about the life and he experimented various things in his life to know what the world is all about. He researched about scholars and investigated in knowing about how they have reached success and great heights in life. He also went in person to many people to interview them to know about the secret of success. But all went in vain. He couldn’t get the result which he expected. During a holiday time, he came to know about a saint who has visited his city and about his fames. He decided to go to the saint and ask about the secret of Success. One fine morning he went to the Saint and asked what is the secret of achieving Success is? The Saint did not answer him immediately instead, asked the boy to come to him next morning. The next morning, the boy went to the saint and asked the same question of how to get Success in life. The Saint this time asked the boy to come to a near by river the next day morning. The boy with anxiety went to the river the next day morning.

The Saint and the boy met near the river the following day. The boy once again raised the same question. The Saint and the boy walked few distance into the water such that the water leveled near to the neck of the boy. Suddenly to the boy’s surprise the Saint put his hands to the back head of the boy and pushed his face into the water and made him remain into water until his face turned blue. After couple of minutes the Saint released him and boy with difficultly took deep breathe.

The Boy with frustration questioned the saint why you did like that? The Saint then asked the boy what did you required when you were under water. The boy with puzzled face answered him: "I required Air to Breathe". The Saint now explained: “When you want Success as intensely as you wanted air under water then you will achieve it, and this is the secret of success.”
