How A Unique Work Experience Helped Me In The B-School Interviews?

Hi, I am Dharmesh, a Mechanical Engineer who started his career with one of India’s largest automobile companies as a Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET). I was working in their Supplier Quality Department and my days revolved around visiting multiple suppliers on most of the days. Things were going normal, as it would have been for any other GET. It was already around 8 months into the organization when EdCIL (a CPSE under Ministry of HRD) floated the applications for the post of ‘Young Professional’.  I enquired more about it and things looked good, however, there was a minor issue. It was a contractual job. The opportunity looked interesting but multiple questions started to come to my mind like - What will I do after the contract gets over? Is it the right thing to leave a well-paying permanent job for an interesting contractual job?
