How I got my first job?
I’ve had a couple of experiences where Swami Samarth has helped me. I’ve shortlisted a couple of them, but wanted to share my very first experience.
I completed my engineering in 2012. Immediately after exams, I started working with a product based company. Thanks to Swami Samarth.
A lot of companies started visiting my college which is an engineering college for campus placements from 3rd Year. It was exciting for everyone as you secure a job even before you complete engineering. To get selected by a company, You need to pass two rounds of interview as below
- Aptitude test.
- Face to face Interview.
I started appearing for the aptitude tests but unfortunately, I couldn’t clear it. Companies visited one after the other, I appeared for the test, but couldn’t clear. This kept repeating.
Let me tell you my engineering background. I was a Computer science student who knew a lot of technical stuff right from the 2nd year of engineering. I had also cleared all the subjects in the first attempt i.e without ATKT
It was really de-motivating for me as I didn’t know why I wasn’t able to clear the test. When you get de-motivated, negative emotions start over-powering your thoughts. It felt like all the hard-work that I did during engineering went in vain.
Did I tell you that I still prayed to Swami when all this was happening? Yes. I did and I felt that he isn’t listening. Negative emotions led me to forget those golden words “भिऊ नकोस, मी तुझ्या पाठीशी आहे”.
I even completed my last semester of engineering and I still didn’t had a Job Offer and that’s sad.
One fine day, My mother told me to offer dal soaked in water to Swami. I went to a nearby Swami temple and offered it. The next day, a product based company was scheduled to visit my college. I appeared for the aptitude test and all questions seemed to be easy. Now, I had told you that I had a lot of practical knowledge in Computer programming. The questions in the aptitude test were something which I knew.
I not only cleared the test but also the Face to face interview. I was the only one from my college to get selected. I even started working with this company before everyone who got placed before me.
The credit definitely goes to Swami. He was the one who ensured that I get placed in a good product based company. He had plans for me but I failed to realise them but not trusting in him.
So, here are the key takeaways from above experience:
- Believe in Swami. No matter what.
- “भिऊ नकोस, मी तुझ्या पाठीशी आहे” is real.
- You might get things a bit late. But, Swami will ensure that you get what you deserve.
That’s all I have for now. Stay tuned and I shall get back with more experiences.
Shree Swami Samarth.
