I have a small family of 4 members. My papa, my maa, didi and me. Papa works as a BSES Supervisor with a monthly salary of 12,000 INR. Maa takes care of us and the whole family and Didi is pursuing a B.Ed. degree with a clear resolution of turning into a government-school teacher someday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am pursuing B.Com. (Honours) degree from the University of Delhi-School of Open Learning and since I wanted to help Papa with the family expenses, I got myself enrolled in the Retail Management Training course at the Sangam Vihar centre of STeP after one of my friends told me about it. Now I am placed with Whirlpool as a Sales Representative earning 14,000 INR every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Q. How did your training help with your current job? What has your experience been like till now in your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think more than anything, what one needs to do well at a job is having the confidence in self to learn and absorb different things. The training was tailor-made in such a manner that the learners fully understood promoting and selling products and services while increasing customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. But our trainers also focused on the importance of soft skills and being able to confidently and composedly answer our customers’ queries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My work environment is very friendly and supportive. My on-the-job training has taught me a great deal of knowledge about refrigerators and air conditioners. Since the washing machine and microwave\u2019s workings are a little more complex, I am still in the learning process about those types of equipment. Sometimes, I feel like I am not learning fast enough but my manager looks happy about my speed and retention abilities, so I guess I am doing well in my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q. That\u2019s great Aman. It seems like you are working smart and hard at your job. You are making more money than your father now, has that changed the family dynamics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever I am is because of my papa. He is honestly the most inspirational person in my life. He never forced me to do anything and he has also taught me how less money doesn\u2019t always mean less happiness. In all our years, even with limited money, he has brought us all the joy in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So I might be making more money than him now but that will never change what he and I share emotionally. He is my biggest cheerleader and it won\u2019t change even when I start earning 40,000 INR tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q. How about your \u2018me\u2019 time? What do you do on your free days?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I work 6 days a week so I don\u2019t have a lot of time for myself but on Sundays, I make it a point to hear the songs of rapper Emiway Bantai. His songs are so relatable and inspire me to do better in life. When I enter into the world of rap songs, my mind automatically feels relaxed and it fills me up with energy and passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.smilefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_1868-01-1024x717.jpeg\")
