Taking to Instagram, Vishesh Singh shared a video in which he spoke about his approach to job hunting and explained how confidence had helped him find employment within a short period.
In the video, Singh said, “You see, those who lack confidence in the corporate world, they never face problems in finding a job. Now, those who tell me, ‘It’s been 1.5 years, it’s been 1 year, it’s been 5 years, I’m not getting a job, this isn’t happening, that isn’t happening,’ they don’t have the confidence to find a job.”
He went on to claim that consistently sending out a large number of applications could significantly improve a person’s chances of receiving an offer.
“You only get a job when you try in at least 40 to 50 companies every day, with consistency. Only then do you get a job in 10 to 15 days,” Singh said.
Sharing his own experience, he added, “It’s not like I was lucky—I also did the same thing, applying to 40-50 companies daily, and then my job would get fixed in 10-15 days. So, this is the only talent I have: confidence in myself that I will get a job.”
The clip was posted with the caption, “This is how every corporate employee should find job.”
