This will ensure a permanent career in Neonatology&nbsp; I&#8217;ll have to ensure I tick the correct boxes so the confirmation happens easily. So here is a list of things I&#8217;ve done or plan to do. If I don&#8217;t get this job confirmation I may need to hunt for a new job across oceans and maybe even over a wall.<\/p>\n<p>1. I got my friends to make a movie about me called DM Benji. My childhood friend played &#8216;me&#8217; and the guys promised to just call it coincidence that it was released to the workplace just a few days before the decision on my job.<\/p>\n<p>2. I remember a group of us making a visit to a competitive company. We unplugged their coffee machine .This decreased their productivity. I have a short video clip about this that will also be made into a documentary.<\/p>\n<p>3. I will get my sister to come to my workplace and help me in my project. She is not qualified but then she could get me some brownie points<\/p>\n<p>4. My boss and colleagues love chocolate. So I went on a pilgrimage to 3 chocolate factories and posted pics of me at the entrance on Facebook and Twitter .<\/p>\n<p>5. I read the initial job application I&#8217;d submitted when I joined the company. I just rewrote it with a few fancier numbers and a new font. I hope they don&#8217;t notice that I haven&#8217;t achieved some of my objectives. It&#8217;s no big deal &#8211; sometimes 3-5 years is not enough to do this. Heck! Even 70 years may not be sufficient!<\/p>\n<p>6. I came to work in a tractor one day. Very impressive!<\/p>\n<p>7. I applied for the same job from another job portal just to be safe. Statistically this may double my chances.<\/p>\n<p>8. I winked at a meeting. It may help me get this job&#8230;. I hope.<\/p>\n<p>9. I started a new YouTube channel in my name. It plays in the coffee room at my office everyday. It showcases all my achievements and skills but I&#8217;ve cleverly branded it a news channel. I also put some of my workout tips on it .<\/p>\n<p>10. In my free time I go to the graves of former employees and bosses. I ponder as I sit in the evening breeze and make dramatic decisions like writing this article.<\/p>\n<p>11. Would making a few statues of me and putting them in the corridors and next to the refrigerator help? Would the people want to do this for me? I couldn&#8217;t figure this one. Tough call!!<\/p>\n<p>I hope all this hard work pays off and I get the confirmation. Please wish me all the best.<\/p>\n<p>PS. Any resemblance to political events, past or present, in any country is purely humourous. Enjoy!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time certainly flies and I can&#8217;t believe that in 2020 I&#8217;ll be due for my job confirmation as I would have completed 3 years since doing my DM (Neonatology).
