It is a true story :.

I was diagnosed for an inguinal hernia and had to be operated after which I was not allowed to work in night shifts nor even could sit in the same position for long time.

Just after that, I had been operated for fissure as well and consequently I did not join any organization.

However, I did not stop earning as I kept myself busy in giving coaching classes to my society kids.

And my doctor has confirmed that I am fit and fine and can work in night shifts as well, I am heading up again.

Actually one of our houses was under construction which required my personal attention, so I felt that instead of joining a new company and taking leaves for every now and then, it would be better to wait till its completion and look out for a job after that.

It's been around 7 months I have been out of work and the reason behind is my Mom's poor health issues and I need to take care of her and look after her and it's because of that I couldn't able to concentrate either professionally or personally.

And it's not that I m completely out of work but I have worked as part time collection executive in a private firm and also I was concentring on my communication skills.

Sir I tried to get a job. But I was never given a chance to get a walk in for an interview. But because of my hope and positive attitude I never gave up and kept trying. I am really glad and appreciate that you gave me that opportunity and if I get a platform to prove myself I can be an effective resource to your organization. If I fail to do that, the same hope and positive attitude will give me a boost to work more hard and prove myself.

To be honest I was poor in my communication skills so I tried reading the newspaper daily to improve my vocabulary and it took time.

I used to prepare myself to crack interviews. Usually, a company like yours don't ask normal questions. You need to be prepared for the interview.
