After failing 600 times, he finally got a job at the World Bank

It’s like a movie plot! Despite failing repeatedly, he didn’t give up. He believed that if he was patient, success would come one day. He kept trying to get his dream job. Finally, as a result of that effort, 23-year-old Vatsal Nahata, a student at Yale University in the United States, got a job at the World Bank.

After completing his graduation in economics from Shriram College of Commerce in Delhi, he started studying at Yale University, a renowned and ancient educational institution in the United States. There, Nahata started trying for a job during the final stages of his graduation in 2020, during the Corona pandemic. But due to the Corona pandemic, he was unable to get any benefits anywhere.

Recently, this young man from India shared his experience of getting a job of his choice on social media. His post published on social media has received a huge response among netizens. More than 15 thousand people have liked his post. Apart from this, more than a hundred people have also shared his post.

Nahata said that he had a dream of working at the World Bank. He had been chasing his dream job for a long time. For this, he had to exchange 600 emails. He had to make 80 calls. Still, he did not give up. After continuous efforts, he got the opportunity to do his dream job.

Nahata wrote in his post, that (Corona pandemic) time, many organizations started laying off employees. Graduation was coming in two months. There was no work in hand. As a Yale student, I thought, if I cannot secure a job, then what is the point of coming to Yale? At that time, my parents also started asking questions.

Nahata said, I did not think about returning to India. I thought, the first salary will be in dollars. That is why I started networking or communicating with everyone. At that time, I stayed away from any portal or applying for a job. In two months, I connected with 15,000 people. I wrote 600 emails. 80 contacted me. I was rejected from most places.

Nahata also wrote, “I contacted so many people that my strategy worked. I received four job offers in early May. I chose the World Bank. They agreed to sponsor my visa. In addition, my manager offered me the opportunity to co-author a research paper on machine learning.”

Nahata says that difficult times have taught him a few things. One of them is the power of networking.
