From Rejection, Depression, and Self-Doubt to a 7.3 LPA Offer: How Sunil Got His First Job Through CommonJobs Pro
From Rejection, Depression, and Self-Doubt to a 7.3 LPA Offer : For many freshers, the journey after graduation is not filled with excitement—it is filled with silence, rejection emails, and unanswered applications. Today’s job market is harsh, particularly for students who don’t attend prestigious universities or have flawless grades. Every LinkedIn success story has months or perhaps years of unspoken hardship behind it.
This is not a motivational narrative designed to impress you.
This is the genuine experience of Sunil, a 2024 engineering graduate who endured rejection, depression, loneliness, and self-doubt before ultimately holding an offer letter with a 7.3 LPA package in his palms. His story represents the unpleasant truth countless of freshers are enduring today.
Sunil’s story proves one important thing:
Talent alone is not enough. Guidance, structure, confidence, and persistence matter more than marks or college brand.
Sunil’s Background: A Fresher With Limited Options
Sunil is a 2024 pass-out from G H Raisoni College of Engineering.
His CGPA was 5.7—not something that excites recruiters at first glance.
Like many private colleges, his college promised placements. But the reality shocked everyone.
👉 Only 2 students were placed in the entire batch.
Sunil was not one of them.
With no campus placement and average academics, Sunil entered the job market already feeling behind. But he did what every sincere fresher does—he started applying.

The Endless Cycle of Applications and Rejections
Sunil applied to thousands of jobs.
- Online interviews
- Offline interviews
- Walk-ins
- Job portals
Some interviewers asked one or two questions and rejected him immediately.
No feedback.
No explanation.
Just silence.
Despite this, Sunil didn’t stop. He believed that effort would eventually pay off.
The Consultancy Trap and Another Setback
Like many desperate freshers, Sunil joined a consultancy in Hyderabad.
He paid ₹50,000, hoping this would finally change things.
The consultancy taught technical topics. But they failed to address the real problems:
- Why he was getting rejected
- How to build interview confidence
- How to answer under pressure
- What mistakes he was repeating
From that consultancy, Sunil received only one interview call.
And once again—rejected.
This rejection hit harder than the previous ones.
When Life Hits Hard: Depression, Pressure, and Loneliness
This phase changed Sunil mentally.
- Hope slowly faded
- Depression started
- Family pressure increased
- Relatives began humiliating him
- Friends stopped calling
Sunil started questioning his own worth.
He had already spent:
- ₹3–4 lakhs on college
- ₹50,000 on consultancy
- Money on multiple paid courses
One night, sitting alone, he thought:
“I have already spent so much money.
What is ₹200?
Let me take one last chance.”
That decision changed everything.

I have a real company call.
I don’t want to mess this up.”
The mentor:
