Friends hold a very important role in one's life. A person is truly your friend when they are there for you in your bad times as much as they are in your good times. Those who support us through our highs and lows.
A LinkedIn post about this true form of friendship is going viral.?Air India commercial lead Ravina More shared a post about a friendship that truly stood the test of time. The post was about how her father's best friend?helped him land a job in the 80s.
Ahead of her father¡¯s retirement next week, Ravina gave a shout out to that friend, who happens to still be her father's closest confidante. The post is shared along with a handwritten job application from 1985.
It read, ¡°When my dad graduated in the ¡¯80s, campus placements were not so common. He was applying for jobs for the first time in his life and was freaking out to draft a resume and write a job application. However, his best friend, Prakash uncle¡¯s English language and handwriting were immaculate. Prakash's uncle was Dad¡¯s saviour - from writing 10 job applications to preparing my dad for dressing up and speaking for the interviews, he left no stone unturned,¡± it begins.
¡°My dad kept making mistakes, like sending the application for one company to another company instead! But as friends always [do], Prakash uncle would laugh it off and encourage my dad to keep trying,¡± she added.
Even though her father kept making mistakes like sending the application to the wrong company, Prakash uncle helped him land a job.
Then she talked about the handwritten job application, "This is one of the applications that he had written for my dad in 1985. While handwritten applications are a thing of the past, I would like to give a shout-out to every person out there who takes time out to help friends get a career break - by reviewing resumes, referring friends, sharing information about the company/industry, and most importantly - being there during tough times.¡±
The said job application was written to Thermax. Ravina's father had applied for the role of 'Trainee engineer- manufacturing production.' The handwriting as mentioned was truly beautiful and many people who commented on the post agreed with the same.
¡°My learnings from here: 1. Beautiful handwriting. 2. Succinct, clear and unambiguous. 3. Clarity in thinking (knowing what he wanted). 4. Ability to find the right person and ask for help. I wish I had at least one of these skills when I graduated,¡± commented one user.?
