Hi Jasleen,
I am writing to you for a feedback, as the round of interviews that were to be conducted for the position pitched to me have been completed. Do let me know if I have been selected or not.
I went for the interaction as I am looking for an opportunity fitting my search criteria. For the right pay and the right position, I do what I need to do, and commitment is my greatest principle. I believe the opportunity presented to me was worth a shot, and gave it a genuinely honest try. I started off as my own master, but am now am stuck in a system where upgrades don't look lucrative to me. When the job was pitched to me it felt like what I was looking for.
The rounds with you and Sachin went fine, but I think your director doesn't approve of me. What eats me out of the whole conversation is the last part, when he said that I have changed too many companies, and he couldn't understand my career vision. If he actually approved of me, I would be happy to work with EduPristine, and most probably can commit for at least 3 years, after understanding the position as he talked about it, and having looked at the JD in your mail. However, I don't feel too hopeful about it at the moment.
That said and done, I would answer the critical question which he wanted an answer for.
What is my career vision or aspiration? I want to be a great filmmaker and entrepreneur in the long run. Till such time as I don't go full-time on my business, I am looking to work with a company which puts me in a position that allows me to use my talents to the fullest, and at the same time guarantees my financial robustness
As I told him as well, I am working to raise a company of my own in my personal time. I have been working on this since 2009, but have understood all basic parameters fairly recently, and am learning and inventing more everyday.
I almost reached launch stage for my women's clothing range around September 2015, but my partner sabotaged me, and I am back to R&D and restructuring, while paying off debts resulting from his financial fraud.
All of this while doing studies and work, and plan to keep doing so for as long as it takes. Currently the target is set for being fully established and profitable with all production in-house by 2020. Not much, just a 4-floor building in an industrial area with 20-40 staff, on a 80-100 yard plot. I know it is doable if I get the right opportunities and manage them well.
This was one of those opportunities, and not getting it means the road stays inhospitable as Stalingrad was to the Nazis in '41, as I barely get much sleep after 18 hours of work everyday, 6 days a week, and cannot afford any real social interaction. You cannot imagine what taking this much pressure does psychologically to a man with no real friends and no immediate family.
I don't know anyone except my immediate superior and teammates at my current job, as I don't waste a single moment in idle chit-chat. I used to command a certain respect from everyone on the production floor, but that seems to have dwindled over time, as I am the last of my recruitment batch
For being safe in interviews I don't expose this, as it may make the recruiter feel unsafe, and I try to be a simpler candidate when I want the job. To me it seems that opportunity has been lost by me with the last question from him.
I am a self-driven person, and believe in fighting my battles till the end. I was born military; everyday I give to another organisation will be as a special soldier, one the opponent must always fear; and every day I command my own operations will be as a responsible general, one that protects his men well.
If either the jeopardy of my initial career or my personal ambition upset those screening me for a position I desire, it will definitely be sad, but on my end,I will very much make up for it, however I can. I will halt, I will not rest, and I will not fail.
