A friend of yours has recently written to you asking for advice about a problem at work. You have had a similar problem at your workplace in the past. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter, tell your friend how you feel about the problem explain how you faced a similar situation in the past suggest possible solutions to the problem
Dear, Ali,
It has been quite a long time since I
last
saw you, and I hope you are doing well and in good health.
I am very sorry to hear about what happened to you and what you are going through at your work
.
Thank you for choosing me to give a hand to you; it means a lot to me.
I had a similar dilemma in the last
two years. I was not respected in my workplace; although
I had a master's degree in chemical engineering with great experience, they did not assign me as a supervisor. Moreover
, they selected someone who had less knowledge than all. It was the worst-ever feeling, and I am sharing what you feel now. That made me frustrated and low self-confidence. However
, I maintained my patience and followed my sense of competency to build up my CV and give my job more effort, as chemical engineering is my passion. Subsequently
, I was observed by the manager, who admired my hard work
and consistency at my job, which ameliorated my position, and I was promoted to the executive head manager, which was my daily daydream.
My advice is to keep going without hesitating that you will not succeed in reaching your desired goals; express and show your hard work
to your supervisors instead
of waiting for them to guess whether your work
is in a tough situation or not.
Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you have further
inquiries.
I wish you the best and a better future career.
Best regards
