Everything happens for a reason

May 22, 2023 9:51pm CST
It was my first time to try my luck in a BPO industry. 15 minutes before our first round of interview, we were given a piece of paper on where the basic operations of the bank was outlined. I guess, I read it twice. Now, my turn came. We did a few brief exercises to test my ability to communicate with random customers until he asked me about my own understanding of the word "discretion". I had a mental block. I felt that the interviewer really liked me but because of that, I failed to get the job though he advised me to re-apply again after three months. The funny part was that I completely had all the answers in my mind the moment I set my foot off the building. That answer was really considered a piece of cake but just an hour after that, I got a job in its competitor with offices just next to it. Because of that experience, I come to realize more that indeed everything happens for a reason.

Yes the fortune plays an important role. Maybe there is a reason you got a job in the competitor's office.

It’s amazing how your mind can go blank when you know the answer perfectly well. In your case maybe it was a blessing.

Who needs discretion when you can have destiny on your side? Embrace the serendipity, keep those clever responses at the ready, and trust that the universe has a hilarious way of putting things into place. Cheers to your unpredictable journey and may laughter be your faithful companion along the way!
