I was doing well as a department head in a Mumbai firm,but my relationship with my boss had become nervous.Not wanting to put up with this,I resigned.But with no other job offer in hand,I soon became anxious.
Then,one morning,a"Situations Vacant"ad I spotted sought a person like me,and at an ideal location.I phoned an acquaintance for tips."I don't think you fit the bill,"he said."They prefer MBAs with experience in multinationals,so don't waste your time."But my wife disagreed."Go by your instinct,"she said."You've got nothing to lose."
So,carrying my neatly typed CV (简历)and cover letter (求职信)in an envelope on which I had written both"To"and"From"addresses,I boarded a packed train on a Monday morning to get to Mumbai's General Post Office,where I could have it weighed,stamped and posted.Getting off the train,I joined the crowd of office-goers out of the station and on to the street.But suddenly,I noticed that my envelope was missing!
I rushed back to the platform.The train was still there.A search of the compartment (车厢)in which I had traveled drew a blank.I waited impatiently for the train to pull away.The letter hadn't fallen on the tracks either.
The logical thing to do was to go home,sit at my typewriter,make a new CV and cover letter and mail it.But losing the envelope felt like a bad sign,so I gave up.
Three weeks passed.I received a letter in response to my"lost"job application,inviting me for a meeting with the company's managing director!I was shocked.
I soon got the job,and worked there as deputy general manager until I took voluntary retirement a year ago.
I still wonder about my application's reaching its addressee.I imagine that someone found it.He or she might have asked others on the train.Finding no claimant (认领人)and realizing it would be important to a fellow citizen,the finder took it to a post office,stuck on the stamps and mailed it.To that unknown friend,I want to say:"Thanks for your little act that proved to be so big for me."
