Positive Reflection
On Sunday 31st January 2021, I have had a Mock Interview at AMAL Academy. The reporting time was 9:50 AM and I was there on time. I was asked to stay in the waiting room along with other candidates till my turn. I waited for an hour with excitement and joy. 😍 I was called at 11:15 PM to be in the interview room. Mr. Usman Akram was there to interview me. Finally, the interview started; I introduced myself and he asked few questions. I got nervous when he asked me to take off my glasses as I thought the light spot has disturbed him. 😅 But to my surprise, he was about to ask a question and I gave a smile to my thoughts. 😂 After 10 minutes, he ended up questioning with the statement that why was I getting nervous and, to my surprise, he let me know that he was my junior and I was expecting him to be senior. 😅 He encouraged the way I showed positivity and energy during the interview. At that time, I realized my potential to do things in the best possible way. The only hurdle I found was that I was under-estimating myself due to a lack of confidence and nervousness; this situation was pushing me to lose my stamina and waste all the potential I have. ☹️
Mr. Usman identified good things in me; energy and talent which motivated me to utilize them for eliminating the nervousness. This looked impossible to me till 2020. After the interview, I started thinking of it and came to know that I can reduce it and it is not as hard as I was thinking. It is impossible in my mind, therefore, I must work on it to eradicate it for my goals. Now, I’m looking forward to improving myself for more accomplishments ✨.
This realization was the result of the interviewer’s sincere feedback 🌠. The way he engaged himself to analyze my abilities and provided me genuine and realistic feedback has impacted me. I thought of the fact that I always wanted someone to let me know my areas of improvement for professional growth and that was the moment my desire was fulfilled so I must think of it. 💡
I cleared my vision after analyzing my situation and thought of the importance of the realization. I would practice exploring new areas and enhance my network to overcome my nervousness in front of an unknown interviewer. I would try to speak more clearly being specific in my talk. I would practice adopting the habit of doing more work hard as nothing can be achieved without hard work and dedication; and when it is about your dreams, you have to pay the cost for it and sacrifice as much as you can. This positive attitude was the decision I made following my dreams after the sincere suggestions and I am looking forward to acting upon them. 🌟
