Hello
readers! Today I am sharing the story of
Saurav Agarwal, a CCE at Xplore Tech Services Pvt. Ltd. I hope you will find
his experience interesting and amusing.
As a bumbling new graduate, my process
of finding a job was really cut out. I followed the classifieds in different
dailies and gave regular interviews. Occasionally I gave exams for government
jobs and banks and was thinking of enrolling myself in to some RICE, MICE or
whatever job exam preparation institute. But little did I know that my leisure
time radio would provide me the carrier of my life (A point to all those people
who have worried that I spend too much time on the phone)!
It was just another Saturday evening and
I was jiving to the party tunes on my favorite youth station Power FM. Then
suddenly, a name sparked up in the “Gig Guides” section – Xplore Tech Services.
Now, not very often would you find that a youth friendly station would encourage
the everyday job advertisements to disrupt their shows (At least I never ever
witnessed it for Power). I decided to make the call. But it was Saturday night
and it was not till Monday morning that I got the chance to. In fact, tired of
a wholesome weekend, I had all but forgotten about the advertisement when I
woke up on Monday morning.
But, like destiny or whatever, I saw
the advertisement of Xplore Tech once again on the morning paper. Like in the
radio, the ad was brief and simple. I dialed the number. The gentleman on the
other side of the phone (whom I came to know later was the security staff) informed
me of the interview and told me to come down to the Park circus branch within
my convenient time. I picked all the necessary credentials and arrived at the
address given to me.
I would have said that the interview
went well if you can consider a light chat with the HR recruiters to be an
interview at all. And that’s it! I was called the next day for my documentation
and before I knew it I had a job in my hand with a satisfactory pay package
which is better than the most I have been offered.
Thanks to Xplore Tech Services Pvt
Ltd, I am now working as a full time caller with regular appraisals every year
and looking towards a better future.
