I ruined a fantastic opportunity myself.
Two days back, I got a chance to interview with a US-based AI company for their content and copywriting work. I filled out the form, and a DM dropped in my LinkedIn to fix a date for an interview.
The first round went well, but where the problem happens?
After the first interview round, she asked me to send my resume and portfolio along with an assignment.
And yes, even if I have worked with multiple clients from India and abroad, the assignment I sent to her was not at par. I knew it, but I still sent it because I had already delayed it to 28 hours.
The moment I sent the mail, she immediately opened the doc. I was still making some edits on it. (first mistake)
Second, she had shared the doc with other company members too, and they saw the work that I didn't like much.
I knew I had wasted this.
Within two minutes, I got the mail and texted she'll get back to me.
I knew what she meant :)
But what exactly happened because? Of which I lose this fantastic opportunity?
June was coming to an end. My mom, the teacher, was planning for the last day out of June. We went to a movie, ate outside, and had fun. I was so tired of unleashing my creativity while writing. I woke up the next day at 9 am and wrote the assignment in an urgent mode, sending it before 10 am. No proofreading, not well researched, no creativity. Just a formal document with not-so-good written content.
I understood, L lag Gaye is baar :) Ye to gaya :)
But no worries. The next moment, I started with another content work, with a new start. And yes, I love it.
