I have experience in two jobs. I worked as a customer service executive in Cochin International
Airport, then I worked as content writer in a Web Designing company. I personally learnt a lot from
both the jobs which was a very good experience for me. It helped me to develop team spirit, co-
ordinate with others working towards the common goal.

was an excellent company to work with, but end of the everyone wants to see that his career rising

My last company was big but this company is bigger and also for me this would be my final
destination because I think this company is suitable for my skill set, best paymaster and most
importantly people are stable in this company.

Job temporary job, so when I finish my contract it is time to find more work. The job was started,
and was not withdrawn their product in as much revenue as they had hoped, and the company went
through some substantial layoffs.

And, finally, post was a vision that I simply can't agree with, and decided that the time had come to
find the employer goals that I believe in.

I have worked several jobs locations during the last 7 years resection do to the job market. I feel
this has given me a wide range of knowledge preparing me for this position. I have taken jobs in the
past with commutes of up to 4 and 5 hours just to keep family a float and pay my bills until a job
would open up closer.

I have also had jobs loose contracts and close their doors putting me without work. I have work
now, I'm not looking for a job, I'm looking for a long term carrier I can grow with the company doing
what I like doing.

I have had many jobs because I try to learn as much as I can at each company and I want to find a
work environment that's suitable to me and can support me financially. I left my second company
because I felt the pay does not justify my work load there. I left my second company because of
poor management and they did not pay us for two months. 

I left the third company because the work environment is not appropriate for me. I left the last
company because they had crazy over time and they did not pay our OT for two months. As my
experience grows, I am able to find a suitable work environment.

After my B.Com I started my career in 2011 as assistant HR with a payment as low as 4000 per
month, every one wants to do job in a MNC, I got one and accepted the same, better job content,
better salary (4 times what I was getting) , this MNC had transferred me project where once has to
go to work in 6.30 am and come back by 11 pm night, not possible to continue the same, after
working for 2 years in that MNC, I changed again and joined my current organization. 

I learned so many things in my domain through these changes transition period of mine. Now I am
seeking opportunity in your company because currently I am working on third party contract
(misguided by consultant recruiter) with no job to, nothing to learn, for that reason I was trying to
change to the job from the last 4 months so that I can utilize my skills and contribute to
organizations goal, What I want is a meaningful association with a growing organization where I can
also grow over the time.

When I was young and dreaming of what I wanted to do when I grew up, depending on my most
current interest, my answer would constantly change. The mailman had a cool job because he got to
be outside walking around and talking to people; I wanted to be a mailman. Being a soldier allowed
you to travel to so many interesting places and experience various cultures; I wanted to be in the
military. People are always laughing and having fun in a bar; I wanted to be a bartender. As an
adult, I have worked in each of these professions and determined that they were not what I really
wanted to do for the rest of my life. What I did take from these jobs was a keen sense of what I
desired most about each of them and what kind of career would be a perfect fit. 

1) I love working outside as opposed to being trapped in an office 

2) I love seeing new places and meeting new people 

3) I love being in a position where I am constantly busy. For me, being a UPS delivery driver would
be an ideal career as it incorporates the three virtues I desire most.

When you feed a man who is hungry for last few days he will eat without caring who is looking at
him. For him Food is the only need in life at present. Like wise I'm an hungry man. This hunger is for
staying on top, accepting new challenges and try different things. 

Without trying a thing no one can guarantee that was waste. If Edison would not have tried 1000
times then we would have waited for another few more years for light to brighten us. There are
people who will say 1000 wasted days. I'm a sort of person who will say he did learn how NOT to do
in that 1000 days. Finally we have a product. Effort never fails.

In My Total experience of 11 Years. I have been in current organization from last 5 years and Six
months. In Earlier years I worked as consultant as CA demands you should have good exposure and
experience in different areas to understand both Direct and Indirect taxation, to know the end to end
process and to understand the Road map of Manufacturing/ Service/ Product based industry.

So these earlier frequent changes in my job develop confidence and strong knowledge. Now I want
to join your organization in order to deliver my best quality results and knowledge to the project.

Well, personally I don't see them as jobs, as I see them as steps as I climbed to a more mature and
professional person, to become more responsible and efficient linchpin of the working class. Life is
growth and education is a continuous process. Indeed with the knowledge acquired from the past
will be enhanced and be useful at present.

Working with one organisation for long tenure or leaving the organisation frequently within very
short period are the part and parcel of the career. Also sometimes it's circumstances, it's fate or any
other reason. But I take it positively & believe at the initial stage of the career, frequent changes
offers you a set of skills, which helps you for withstanding the multi-skill requirement of the job
industry.

When one person changes the job within the same company as per the management policy, that is
acceptable & known as job orientation.
