Ravi's Real Journey: Small-Town Boy to Corporate Success
How a Commerce Graduate from Patna Overcame Challenges with RequireHire & Now Guides Freshers
1. The Starting Point – Humble Beginnings in Patna
I come from a small district near Patna, Bihar. Studied commerce in a tier-3 college with limited placements, old infrastructure, and very few company visits. Most classmates were either preparing for government jobs or settling for local low-paying roles.
2. Major Challenges I Faced
- No campus placements – zero big-company exposure
- Traditional job portals → 1000+ applications → almost zero responses
- Tier-3 college tag made my resume invisible to recruiters
- Lack of interview practice & confidence in communication
- Financial pressure – couldn't afford expensive coaching or courses
3. The Turning Point – Discovering RequireHire
RequireHire changed everything. Instead of uploading resumes blindly, I got interviewed first through their AI-powered pre-screening. My commerce knowledge was scored fairly, profile became anonymized + skill-verified, and real HRs started reaching out directly.
Within months I cleared multiple rounds and landed a stable finance job in a reputed company – something I never imagined possible from my background.

5. Where I Am Today & My Message
Today I have a stable job, financial independence, and I’m continuously upskilling. Whenever I get free time, I log into RequireHire, take AI mock interviews, improve my weak areas, and stay interview-ready.
RequireHire is not just a job portal — it is the future of fair hiring. It removes bias, brings opportunities to tier-2/tier-3 cities, and lets talent speak louder than college names.
