A post-graduate student from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida talks about his journey towards achieving his goals and successfully securing a job with Colgate Palmolive
\nSometimes you need to find your career, and sometimes, your career finds you. Born in the interiors of Uttar Pradesh, Neeraj Tripathi grew up aspiring to become a Management post-graduate. Similar to a lot of other professionals in the sector, his passion for specializing in Marketing came not from great future prospects, but from an intense desire to learn and practice the art of selling without actually selling.
\nNeeraj\u2019s first step towards getting into Marketing for a brand like Colgate Palmolive began with scouting for opportunities internally. Luckily, that worked for him. That was the time when he realized the potential of chasing for the finest job, and for that he decided to reskill himself to suit into the industry parameters. Today a proud employee of his dream-like workplace, he recalls the placement interview phase, \u201cthere was immense competition for this profile, since we were 60 of us who applied for it. The first question was tricky, and it baffled me instantly. I was asked \u2013 if a distributor does not assign work to you during your training period, what will you chose to do in that period? Today, I\u2019m glad for the answer I gave during that time,\u201d said Neeraj.
\nThe thing he most appreciates is the encouragement and guidance he got from his professors at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida. Through all the reading between the lines and dedicatedly working towards achieving the set goals, he ultimately learned that the only person holding him back from doing so was himself. He adds, \u201cWhat set me apart from the crowd was my willingness to learn, unlearn, re-learn and maintaining self-confidence. Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida helped me prepare for the job marketplace, tremendously. The MBA program was perhaps the gateway to my future.\u201d
\nThree months away from contributing towards a new stint as a Customer Development Officer, Neeraj happily owes the credit to his internship experience at Amul and Mr. Karni Singh Jhala from Viacom 18 who truly inspired him. As a piece of advice, Neeraj adds, \u201cWhile it\u2019s easy to give excuses and difficult to maintain consistency, do not give up without even trying to know what\u2019s in there. Everybody around us is always helpful – in my case, my professors, my fellow-students, friends, and undoubtedly, my family. You can be your own mentor, but that does not mean you shouldn\u2019t pay heed to what others suggest\u201d
\nLife holds a special place for those who dare to dream beyond their capacity. Neeraj aspired to build a career with nothing but the best, and that\u2019s what he manifested. He recalls and says, \u201cI remember travelling back to Noida from hometown and that\u2019s when I got a call from Colgate. While I did secretly hope for good news, I didn\u2019t see my dream coming true so quickly. The first call I made was to my parents, and I\u2019ll never forget that day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
