Success Story: An Ordinary Guy in SBI PO

Hi, I am Yuvraj M Sharma, an ardent yet silent follower of “bankersadda” and the institution which had set up this portal “Career Power”. My story has been published once at Stories adda already, link to which is: Click Here

The story after that…

So, I informed the parents of the girl about my success as a PO at Punjab & Sind Bank and astonishingly her dad gave a positive response this time. He agreed for this society’s disapproved nuptial just for the sake of my hard work and the result I had managed to squeeze out of it. The girl too somehow managed to show resistance and convinced her dad for the approval. Now all,I and they, were waiting for my joining at Punjab & Sind Bank.

Meanwhile, I gave some other examinations too like CGL Tier II (2014), CGL Tier I (2015), Postal Assistant and SBI PO 2015 pre and mains. Finally, my joining for PSB was announced for 17 Aug 2015. I resigned from PNB and joined PSB at their Ludhiana Circle. Now, I had an interview for SBI PO on 12th September for which I was again under pressure from the girls’ dad as he believed that job as a PO in PSB is not as reputed and well paid as that in SBI (and I believe he was right in saying so). I was so desperate to nail this interview (given that I failed to score good marks in interviews of SBI associate PO and SBI Clerk 2014) that I got a formal suit stitched for myself and brought new shoes and shirt (Since I am from a middle class family, I couldn’t afford such extravagance earlier). Previously I had given all the interviews in shirts with tie whereas all others wore a suit. I always felt like the odd one out and I didn’t want to leave any stone unturned this time and that’s why I made this investment. In all, this interview costed me Rs. 12000. 

Finally it was the interview day. I appeared quite pleasing to myself in the suit I wore for the first time. My GD topic was “India is living culturally and economically, in many centuries at once”. I managed to speak well and also pacify some members of the group who had started an, unrelated to the topic, altercation. In the interview, I was congratulated for getting job as a PO in PSB and then asked certain banking and customer service related questions. I handled all the question very well. 

Given my previous two failures in the SBI club, I was least expectant for a positive result. Then came the result, a friend at PSB told me that he didn’t make it (he had more attempts than me) and I casually asked him to check mine as well. He sent me two smileys on WhatsApp, one with tongue and other with immense laughter. The next lines he wrote made my heart beats racing like a horse…“Bhai terahogaya”. I was literally astonished and glad with immense joy. Finally I made it to the esteemed organization like SBI.

I don’t want to share with you all what I did, in what circumstances I did or how I did. I want you to understand this story, draw inspiration from it. In 2013, I was no one. Back then, I was just another guy like you, looking for a direction, looking for a job, sick with all the difficulties, frustrated, angry at life, impatient and what not. But today PO at SBI. 

I was a guy with limited mathematical aptitude, narrow reasoning ability and zero G.K. It took me 2 years to reach here. You all are much better than me in terms of mind, may be much younger than me, then why to give up at failures? I failed many times and I know I’ll fail many more times, but I also believe that I will succeed. You must believe this too..!!

And at the end all I would like to say that this all wouldn’t have been possible if the excellent guidance from Career power were not there. I owe a big time to Career Power and Bankers Adda..You make your dreams come true..!
