After graduating in 2024 with a degree in Computer Science, I was eagerly looking forward to starting my professional journey. Coming from Barnala, a small town, I had always been passionate about technology, and this was finally the moment when my dreams started turning into reality. The excitement, mixed with a little bit of nervousness, hit me as I packed my bags and set off for Ludhiana—my destination for securing my first job at Netguruze, an IT company located near Arora Palace in the Kashish Complex.
The Start of My Day
My day started early, the fresh anticipation of this new chapter in my life kept me awake even before the alarm went off. The journey from Barnala to Ludhiana took around two hours. On the way, I couldn’t help but think about how far I had come. From sitting in classrooms, coding late into the night, to now having an opportunity to prove myself professionally—it felt surreal.
The weather was pleasant, which added to the overall energy of the day. As I reached Ludhiana, a bustling city known for its entrepreneurial spirit, I was both overwhelmed and excited by the idea of working in such a dynamic environment. I reached Arora Palace, and after a short walk, there it was—Netguruze, my destination.
First Impression of Netguruze
Netguruze is a mid-sized IT firm known for its work in software development and IT services. As I approached the office located in the Kashish Complex, I was greeted by a modern, vibrant workspace. The employees were friendly and welcoming, which helped ease my nerves. I quickly realized that this company was a perfect fit for someone like me, eager to learn and grow in the tech industry.
Inside, I was introduced to the team I would be working with. They were a diverse group of professionals, each bringing something unique to the table. The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm, and the culture seemed open and collaborative—exactly what I was looking for in my first job. The onboarding process was smooth; I had a brief meeting with the HR team, followed by an introduction to my work responsibilities.
The Excitement of First Day at Work
The first day is always memorable, and mine was no different. After meeting my team, I was shown around the office, learning about the ongoing projects and the tools I would be using. It was exciting to see that I would be working on real-world projects, contributing to something meaningful from day one. My supervisor ensured that I felt comfortable and understood what was expected of me, which gave me the confidence to dive into my work with enthusiasm.
In the afternoon, I had lunch with my new colleagues. Conversations ranged from technology trends to favorite spots in Ludhiana, and by the end of the day, I felt like I had already started building relationships that would make my work environment enjoyable.
Reflections and Looking Forward
By the time I left Netguruze that evening, I felt a sense of accomplishment and relief. It was a great start, and I knew that I had made the right decision. As I traveled back to Barnala, I couldn’t stop thinking about all the new things I had learned in just a single day. The transition from a student to a professional is huge, but with the support I received at Netguruze, I knew I was on the right path.
This first job is more than just an opportunity to gain work experience—it’s the beginning of a new chapter in my life, filled with possibilities. I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and contributing to the ever-evolving world of technology at Netguruze.
