Follow your Dreams

 

 

My love for the English Language got me developing an interest in Content Writing. So I wanted to take up a course in Journalism after my M.com II exams, a course which would help me develop at a professional level as a content writer. I was looking out for one with convenient timings so as not to interfere with my current job responsibilities. I needed to cope with the course curriculum as well as the responsibilities at work. After going through several options that were offered by various institutes, I decided to visit the RBCS office.

 

I took an appointment with Mr. Shyam Motwani. He was very warm and full of energy even on a Sunday morning. After getting the information about the course, I was excited to get on board with the Journalism class every Sunday morning. I was working with Hurix Systems Pvt. Ltd. as a Front Desk Executive where I shouldered added responsibilities of assisting various departments and managers for updating required database, making arrangements for Client Visits, conference meetings etc. I needed a switch over.

We started off, with Personal Effectiveness, Communication Skills and Presentation. This was followed by the Journalism workshop. We had to prepare our varied assignments on weekly basis. This was a blessing as I had the entire week to complete my practical work.

This course helped me think practically and understand the vast field of content in a better way and I could see my dreams of content writing turning into reality. My company Hurix Systems Pvt. Ltd is also in e-learning and I was aware of their success story. Our company was awarded Silver at the coveted Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards, in the Custom Content - Interactivity category. It is in my own company that I was looking forward to dawn my career as a Content Writer. After approaching my seniors at work, I was given a chance to apply as a Content Writer. Through the process of meticulous assessment, the Human Resource department made sure a deserving candidate like me got the job. The H. R Manager soon broke the news to me that they would employ me as a Content Writer.

 

 This was the moment when I felt my dream was coming true. To be a Content Writer was no more a distant dream, but a reality, Thanks to simple yet intensive learning under expert teacher at an institute of repute that my dreams turned into reality. So friends do not be afraid about your dreams, they are just a few steps away from Reality… Keep following your dreams! But work hard and find a good mentor or guru!
