Right now I’m undergoing campus placements in my college. and its just been 4 days since the process has started and i already have 2 very good offers in my hand. right now everything might seem good, but believe me 2 days back i was so depressed and dejected! what a contrast life can be at times!

the first day a reputed media organisation came for the placements. the interview went of well and next day the list was announced. i was surprised that my name didnt feature in the list, since i was quite confident of making the cut. but i took it in my stride. next day another well-known media group came to recuit for their portal. and this time again i didnt make the cut!

again it came as a shock to me since again i thought il make it to the list. around me i saw many people receiving job offers and felt really depressed. my confidence dipped and i started wondering how come some of my friends got the job and i didnt make it.

after speaking to my parents and friends i felt better. it took me a long time to convince myself that everything was not lost. anyway it was only 2 days of the campus placement. there is always more companies to come and the process is going to continue for another 2 weeks.

the next day i get a cal from our campus placement co-ordinator saying i have bagged a job with the company that came on the first day! it seems by mistake or rather ‘inadvertently’ my name was chopped off from the final list. for a moment i was just too stunned to say anything, then gradually the feeling that i have atleast one job offer in my hand! but i was feeling bad for my roomies and flatmates since they hadn’t received even a single offer. seeing them sad made me also feel little bad. 

and then yesterday! what a day it was! everything happened so fast that i couldnt believe it! i got a job offer as a reporter with the country’s leading financial paper, something which i would liek to call my ‘dream job.’ and yesterday also happened to be the day when all my flatmates including my roomies.

now i’m in the process of choosing the ‘right’ job. keeping my fingers crossed.
