Honestly, leaving my previous job was very hard for me. I was very thankful to the company and to my bosses for the opportunity and trust they have given me despite the fact that I am a fresh graduate.

All the challenges I've encountered and overcome have developed my work ethic, prolonged my patience, and strengthened my character as an individual. However, I had decided to focus on my health as, for no reason, I always get sick and couldn't file a formal leave because I was the sole finance officer in our area. If I'm fortunate to have filed a sick leave, I still entertain queries and concerns from my co-workers, as I cannot afford to rest knowing that there will still be problems when I resume work, and that's one of the reasons they loved me.

I asked for God's sign that if for the fourth time, I get sick again, I will file my resignation. I always rely on God's guidance for my decisions through my prayers, and I do believe that he will show me the right path. That is why I don't mind failing a couple of times because I know that if it is God-given, it will come easy in no time.

Well, Firstly change is very much required in one's life as without change we will not be able to see the other side of the coin. Could it be anything change is a must in everyone life?

Secondly, I wish to thanks my previous employer for giving me a chance to work with the second largest private bank of India. I have always been fascinated with the banking industry as numbers and figured are my tips. Just because of my previous management, I could able to get a good command of teamwork, time management, quality, production and so on. Working for close to three years and possessing a great knowledge of the industry, I felt to use my skills and development in one of the major and dynamic international banks like yours and adding more chapters of knowledge answer skills So here I am for the next level of my career to change professionally and personally.

I loved my last job and progressed to increasingly more responsibilities. The culture of real-estate development does not lend itself to tact or hand-holding with employees, architects, city leaders or engineers. This entails a great deal of yelling and screaming to get points across in meetings. Sometimes that involved invading one's personal space, in your face in the open office, wherever. I totally understand this and realize these disagreements are the nature of the beast. High turnovers are the result. Too much money is at stake and there is no time for diplomacy. However, I soon realized that, while I thrived in that environment, it was not what I wanted as a long term career. What I learned there was invaluable, I left on good terms and consider myself a huge fan of the work being done there.

First of all, I am very much grateful of my previous company where I worked with because as a fresher, they have enhanced my skills in different aspects of customer service.

I have developed my personality as a career person, time management, teamwork, working under pressure and most of all dealing with customers with different personalities.

The reason I left my previous job is that I want to grow as a career person by taking new job opportunities and to widen my knowledge in giving customer service satisfaction.

I do believe that your company is the best fit to give me the new job opportunities and will enhanced my career growth and personality as an employee. In return, I will make sure to give all the learnings I have acquired from previous job experience.
