BEI’s Spoken English Students Land Retail Jobs

As indicated in my last post, four Spoken English students appeared for interviews at a top retail company this past week. All of them made it to the third and final interview.

Two of the four students, Balveer Bundela and Praveen Bundela of Bagar, were chosen for the CSR (Customer Service Representative) position. They have both accepted the job and have begun work today, June 23rd. Should they prove themselves committed, skillful and capable, they are likely to get promoted within the next six months to a year.

Up until the last interview the candidates’ communication skills were observed, their interest and commitment level tested, and a basic knowledge of retail and selling skills were sought. They were also tested on the content of their resumes. In addition, Balveer had noted that he had won a dance competition and was even asked to demonstrate his dancing skills at the last interview!
For those who didn’t get the job, their optimism is remarkable. This experience has served a motivating force for them to improve their English speaking skills and confidence. They admitted how much they learned from the week-long interview process and even shared their learnings with the two English batches that are now in session. In doing so, one of the students is so determined that he said that he knows he will get a job when he interviews again some time in the future. They know, recognize and are making a commitment to work hard. These students should be proud of themselves for extracting lessons from this experience.

Congratulations to Balveer and Praveen (below) and best of luck to the others! BEI is behind you 100%!
