Youth Digest·Color Version “Job section” No.5 in 2008
Since Ray's mother had been sick,he lost the chance of attending the job fair organised by D company before graduation.
Only after commencement did his mother recover.Ray tried to make a phoon call to D company only to be told that job fair was over and all the new employees had been positioned."I'am sorry to tell you that you have to wait for next time."However,Ray can't wait for next time as his family is poor.What's more,his ill-mother needs money and his sister needs tuition for new semester.What' more important,it's Ray's dream to work for famous D company at all times.What's the time of "the next time"?
Ray thought about it repeatly and started a series of actions.
At first,he made a phone call to the deputy manager that was in charge of personnel in D company.He informed him that he earned tuition for his sister and himself by doing work for others,which left the deputy manager a impressive impression.Several days later,the deputy manager received several same letters from all directors on the same day.This native but delicate "critical" plan made the deputy manager a little appreciate and interested in him.Therefore,he made a arrangement and interviewed him.
What a pity.Ray didn't pass even in the first part.
Ray didn't give up and came to the D company 3 more times.A warm-hearted stuff was moved by his persistence so he gave a book to him,which was written by general manager about the development of the company and industry.What's more,he gave Ray the general manager's e-mail box.
In the following days,Ray read that book with heart and made detailed notes.Then,Ray threw "bombs" to his e-mail box to report what he've learnt and also his determination and passion."As the eighth item in D Trade, we are still make efforts even when others are despairing.This is the essence of the investment banker.It's just the same for me.When all people think it impossible for me to join in D company,I don't keep a slack hand----Cause I didn't even think of giving up from the moment of my determining to join in D company and be a brilliant investor!"
In order to show his determination and sincerity,in the last paragraph of the e-mail he says he is willing to work as a probational stuff without wage at first.What he needs is a chance.
The deputy manager was finally moved by this young man after two months' persistence.Thanks to the deputy manager,Ray got a chance to meet the general manager.What's more,he became the first probational stuff without wage.
By right of his persistence and hard wok,Ray became a formal stuff in several months.Moreover,he was the "little brother" of other stuffs in project team.Everyone was willing to help him and made progress with him together.
Compared with other stuffs,Ray was apparently inadequate in background knowledge and speciality reserve.Therefore,Ray's friends were envious of him.They also asked him about the "secret channel" to join in D company.He alway smiled and said:"There is one!I, still make efforts even when others are despairing."
