When I got promoted to the rank of the senior marketing executive at my office, it was a happy moment for me indeed

I got engaged into jobs immediately after my graduation to support myself and entered at a local restaurant. The restaurant specialises in making foreign foods like Thai foods, Chinese foods, and Japanese foods etc. Besides, the restaurant also serves the local Indian foods. I got the job of marketing executive for the restaurants and was primarily responsible working with the marketing manager and deal with clients. Sometimes I also had to visit the clients for making newer deals or for other necessities. After serving for a couple of years, they promoted me to the rank of senior marketing executive and also revised my benefits. It happened for my sincere efforts and devotion to the duties

It took nearly three years for me to get promoted. I have completed my graduation in 2012 and got the job in 2013. Initially, I was appointed as a part-timer at the restaurant on the post of the marketing executive. They wanted an unskilled individual who could serve the job of marketing executive for four hours in a day. So, accordingly, I applied for the position as I long had been seeking an option like this. After appearing on the interview, they confirmed me the job, and I started working from the next day. I passed three consecutive years and experienced numerous ups and downs to implement my duties. All of my efforts resulted in 2016. The restaurant authority was highly pleased by my activities and promoted me as their Senior Marketing Executive. It is a remarkable year in my life indeed

I live in Mumbai in India. I have my family living with me and as I wanted to be self-reliant, I stopped receiving all types of supports from my family. I worked for myself and also sometimes I shared my little income with my family. The event of being promoted to a higher post took place at the restaurant where I started to work a couple of years ago. Before joining here, I used to teach mathematics to students of lower grade and used the earnings for my study. Despite having born in a solvent family, I always tried to be self-sufficient and joined on earning activities to meet my regular expenses. I am too lucky that the restaurant authority has evaluated my efforts and promoted me to the post. The restaurant is located at the centre point of Mumbai city and one of the most important features is that the prices are too lower comparing the restaurants set in the adjacent areas

To be frank, this is the first positive achievement for me in my career. I do not know how long I shall continue with the restaurant or shall I continue the marketing profession, the promotion is pleasant for me, truly. The authority has never shouldered too many responsibilities on me and in case of failures, they tried to inspire me. I think you are aware that dealing with customers is always unpleasant and convincing them is more difficult. Many of the times I had to return with a broken heart and also endured impolite behaves and attitudes from the clients. But I was strict to my goals and tried to achieve them gradually. After a certain time, I discovered that everything is becoming easier with me and I turned able to influence even the toughest client with my own techniques. So, I think I deserve such a gift from my employer and they did the right thing for me
