Junior Commertial Assistant

I am the junior commercial assistant here at our office in Ashoknagar. We are set up at 349/1, which is quite close to both the post office and the police station. Being in the 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, we deal with a lot of local trade and paperwork. The office itself is nothing special to look at, just a room filled with cabinets and a few old computers. I handle most of the commercial side of things, like tracking shipments and making sure the local accounts are up to date. The pincode here is 743222, and most people in the neighborhood know our building because it’s been there forever. It gets pretty humid in this part of West Bengal, so we usually have the fans going full blast while we work. I’m not some high-level executive, just someone who keeps the daily operations from falling apart. I spend a lot of time talking to vendors and checking on orders that come through the P.O. box. There isn’t a fancy mission statement on the wall or a company manual. We just know what needs to be done and we do it. Sometimes the trains nearby make it hard to hear on the phone, but that’s just life in Ashoknagar. I’ve been in this role for a while and I like the fact that I know all the regulars. It’s honest work that keeps me busy from morning till evening.
