• He secured the job after many failed attempts
It is said that hard work never goes in vain, and there is no shortcut to success. Vatsal Nahata, an Ivy League graduate, proved it right.
The Yale University graduate kept trying for his dream job at World Bank, and got it after 600 email and 80 phone calls.
Mr Nahata has narrated his entire journey in a long post on LinkedIn, which has been liked by more than 15,000 people. His story has also been shared by nearly 100 people.
The young man’s inspiring journey started during COVID-19 in 2020 when he was about to graduate from the prestigious university.
“I did not have a job at hand and I was going to graduate in two months. I thought to myself: what was the point of coming to Yale when I can’t even secure a job here. It became harder to sound strong to my parents when they called and asked me how I was doing.
“But I was determined that returning to India was not an option, and that my first paycheck would only be in Dollars. I went all out on networking, and took the risk of completely avoiding job application forms or job portals,” he said.
Mr Nahata then added that in two months, he sent over 1,500 connection requests, wrote 600 cold-emails, got on 80 odd cold-calls and faced a large number of rejections.
“Ultimately, I had knocked on so many doors that my strategy paid off! I ended up with four job offers by the first week of May and chose the World Bank,” he said.
The Economics graduate from Delhi’s Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) said the difficult phase gave him the “confidence to survive in any situation.” — ndtv.com
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
