Before starting my story I want to thank my parents as it would have not been possible without them. I am also indebted to the whole teamof bankersadda for always being there whenever I needed them. Bankersadda provided unconditional support to me for which I do not have proper
words to thank…Now penning down my story…
It’s a long journey which started in 2012. After I completed my schooling from Gurgaon in 2009 I came to Jaipur for my graduation and also started CA. I struggled hard in CA but couldnt’t make it. Somehow I reached to CA final but knew somewhere that even if I become a Chartered Accountant I will not get a good Job as I was not worth it at that stage.
I told my parents about my decision to quit CA. It was the worst phase of my life. My parents never expected this from me. For complete 2 months I was in depression and was packed in a room. Then after 2 months my dad came 2 me and sad AISE NAHI CHALEGA… He convinced me to make a new start, to prepare for govt jobs.My father is a retired Air Force personnel and presently working in SBBJ as an assistant manager. He said if I can pass the exam after 22 years of job then why can’t you. I gathered all my hopes and started preparing for it.
Some exams where I was unsuccessful:-
IBPS PO 2013 – Couldn’t clear online exam
IBPS Clerk 2013 – Cleared exam but couldn’t crack the interviews.
Failed by 2 marks.
SBI PO – Far behind the cut of.. couldn’t make it.
IBPS PO 2014 – Cleared exam but again couldn’t make it in interviews
IBPS Clerk 2014 – Cleared online exam but again failed after
interviews by 1.4 marks.
SBI Associates Clerk 2015 – Cleared the exam, gave interviews and made it to waiting list ( pehle toh pata hi nhi tha ki waiting me hu. Socha fail ho gya.. but jab waiting clear hone ka mail aya january 2016 me tab pata chala ki isme waiting me tha.. until then toh yahi soch raha tha failed hu.. by 4 marks)
Now the exams which I cleared:-
1. Food Corporation of India Accounts Assistant – Exam given in
october 2015, result declared on 4 January 2016 ( Yeah I remember the date because it was the first exam in my life which I passed after graduation… I cried a lot…)
2. SBI Associates Clerk (SBBJ) – Got the mail regarding my name in waiting list and clearing of waiting list..
3. Andhra Bank PGDBF Program 2015
4. IBPS Clerk 2015 – Got canara bank…
and there is a lot more to go.. I am preparing for SSC CGL
.
I lost hope in 2014 after seeing my result of SBI Associate ( uss time toh yahi laga ki fail ho gya). I was shattered into pieces.. I started giving interviews in private companies because my family background was not of any business and my dad thinks that I can not succeed in business. I got selected in Genpect Gurgaon, Noida and Jaipur.. But one of my friend convienced me to give a last try.. he gave moral support to me… I started working in a school and joined a library. Subah 7 to 12 teaching ( Pocket money bhi jaroori hai..) and then 1 PM to 10 PM in library.. this was my schedule for last 6 months.. sometimes I used to cry a lot as I was seeing darkness all around. But this friend of mine gave a hope… aur fir bankersadda ne hamesha saath diya…
BAHUT GIRA HU PAR HAR BAAR EK NAYE JOSH KE SAATH UTHA HU…Lastly for those who have just started or couldn’t succeed this time
due to any reason,
.
KOSHISH KAR, HAL NIKLEGA
AAJ NAHI TOH KAL NIKLEGA
MEHNAT KAR, PAUDHON KO PAANI DE
BANZAR ZAMEEN SE BHI PHAL NIKLEGA..
