STAGE 1
Mechanical engineer deals designing and analysing of mechanical system. I was was
appointed as apprenticeship in Larsen and turbo company. This was my first job as assistant
engineer. These days were best days of my life. I enjoyed working with Larsen and turbo. I
was very stressed and anxious to work in new place where everything will be new for me. I was
worried about behaviour of my colleague and co workers. This could have been my only
reaction. Outcome of this event was same as I anticipated. I was introduced to my co-workers
and seniors. They were rude and arrogant. Employees of organisation were unsociable. They
were occupied in there own work, no one offered me to be part of their group or team. I felt
ignored and hurt with there behaviour. I lost my interest toward work. In event I was appointed
as apprenticeship in mechanical department of the company. My work was to design machine for
Larsen and turbo. I designed elevators and escalators for building of Larsen and turbo. I was
required to take dimensions of several parts required to design machine. Seniors do not provided
me with any help or guide related my work.
STAGE 2
I was not satisfied with behaviour of my seniors and colleague. Working with them was
difficult for me. My co-workers and superiors were unsupportive. There was no connection
between us. Initial days of my events were bad. I developed design of elevator all lone, no one
was there to offer help. Superiors criticised my design and work. They spoke rudely and abused
me. It is very difficult to work in this negative environment. I was not happy with my work
place. Employees of company were rigid and they resisted to change. Superiors overburdened
me with work. They always gave negative review about my work, this lowered my self esteem
and motivation. I got no guidance about my work. According to me this was worst experience of
my life. All negative working situations demotivate me and I was not able to complete my work
on time. My seniors behaved insulted me in front of other employees this made me sad and
embarrassed. From this event I learned to stay calm even in difficult situations. As I said my
seniors were unhelpful this improved my communication skills. I used different techniques to
make them understand my problems and difficulties.
STAGE 3
After working with Larsen and turbo I wanted to be counsellor and consultant. I was train
and motive employees to deal with negative situations in organisation. I will suggest people

never loose hope and confidence. I faced many difficulties and problems in my first job. I will
encourage people to take initiative to deal with tough situations. As a consultant I will suggest
them about which job they should pursue. In order to be successful counsellor I need to improve
my communication and understanding skills. I should also consult professional to develop some
personal skills. Different seminars and workshops are conducted that teach you implementation
of skills and techniques. I will listen to problems people and provide them with effective
solutions. Online research and textbooks will help me to enhance my knowledge. Mediation is
effective tool that will increase my understanding power.
STAGE 4
In future I will implement my ideas and knowledge in field of mechanical engineering to
make design creative. I will attend seminars and workshops that will help me in increasing
organisation skills. This event has helped me to deal with difficult situations and problems. My
working situation in this company was negative. I will always work in effective manner to
enhance my performance. I will make sure that I implement my knowledge in best possible way.
I am very motivated and determined person. I want to become perfectionist in this field, my
skills will help in accomplishing my goals. I have gained this attitude from my previous
experience in Larsen and turbo. Positive working environment enhance performance of
employees and make them feel happy. I was very determined towards my work and accepted all
challenges and difficulties. I never complained about behaviour of my superiors. I work hard to
complete my work on time. I used my knowledge to perform work assigned to me. My
optimistic attitude help me to deal with negative working environment. Even after facing so
many problems I never gave up. This attitude help to stay calm and work for each task
assigned.
