Model Answer 1:
When I got promoted to the rank of the senior marketing executive at my 
office, it was a happy moment for me indeed. 
I got engaged into jobs immediately after my graduation to support myself and 
entered at a local restaurant. The restaurant specialises in making foreign 
foods like Thai foods, Chinese foods, and Japanese foods etc. Besides, the 
restaurant also serves the local Indian foods. I got the job of marketing 
executive for the restaurants and was primarily responsible working with the 
marketing manager and deal with clients. Sometimes I also had to visit the 
clients for making newer deals or for other necessities. After serving for a 
couple of years, they promoted me to the rank of senior marketing executive 
and also revised my benefits. It happened for my sincere efforts and devotion 
to the duties. 
It took nearly three years for me to get promoted. I have completed my 
graduation in 2012 and got the job in 2013. Initially, I was appointed as a part-
timer at the restaurant on the post of the marketing executive. They wanted 
an unskilled individual who could serve the job of marketing executive for four 
hours in a day. So, accordingly, I applied for the position as I long had been 
seeking an option like this. After appearing on the interview, they confirmed 
me the job, and I started working from the next day. I passed three 
consecutive years and experienced numerous ups and downs to implement my 
duties. All of my efforts resulted in 2016. The restaurant authority was highly 
pleased by my activities and promoted me as their Senior Marketing Executive. 
It is a remarkable year in my life indeed.
I live in Mumbai in India. I have my family living with me and as I wanted to be 
self-reliant, I stopped receiving all types of supports from my family. I worked 
for myself and also sometimes I shared my little income with my family. The 
event of being promoted to a higher post took place at the restaurant where I 
started to work a couple of years ago. Before joining here, I used to teach 
mathematics to students of lower grade and used the earnings for my study. 
Despite having born in a solvent family, I always tried to be self-sufficient and 
joined on earning activities to meet my regular expenses. I am too lucky that 
the restaurant authority has evaluated my efforts and promoted me to the 
post. The restaurant is located at the centre point of Mumbai city and one of 
the most important features is that the prices are too lower comparing the 
restaurants set in the adjacent areas.

To be frank, this is the first positive achievement for me in my career. I do not 
know how long I shall continue with the restaurant or shall I continue the 
marketing profession, the promotion is pleasant for me, truly. The authority 
has never shouldered too many responsibilities on me and in case of failures, 
they tried to inspire me. I think you are aware that dealing with customers is 
always unpleasant and convincing them is more difficult. Many of the times I 
had to return with a broken heart and also endured impolite behaves and 
attitudes from the clients. But I was strict to my goals and tried to achieve 
them gradually. After a certain time, I discovered that everything is becoming 
easier with me and I turned able to influence even the toughest client with my 
own techniques. So, I think I deserve such a gift from my employer and they 
did the right thing for me.
