I am a student working as a content writer since my college days. This has often served as my flexibility. I have appeared in many government recruitment exams including SSC, Banking, Railway, WBPSC, and many more. Alas! I have not made it to the final merit list for anyone; I am still an active government job aspirant. The best part is that you have got such a mixed experience of content writing and government exams. I write this content so that lakhs of job aspirants like me can benefit from it. I hope that my government exam material will be the connecting link between aspiration for a government job and the actual selection.
