Last week has been a hectic one....of all the people in this wide world even I got placed....in TCS...God save 'em...but apart from all this, the experience has been great......
for me, my interview was not less in any proportions with Shakespeare's comedy of errors...which eventually culminated in a happy ending......
On sunday 9th april,there was the PPT -preplacement talk n after that the written - for which i appeared and as the results were about to come i threw up but qualified...after that...next day i had my tech interview....lets go straight to the fun part----
I walked in the room with my awkward gait and nervous smile n greeted the two lady HR's sittin' there.I sat down and the conversation ensues
as follows
HR:so tell us something abt u ,Nikhil
me: my name is Nikhil...(as if she doesnt know already)
blah blah
HR:do u want some water
me:no i m fine.
blah blah for 30 secs more n then......
me:I think i need to have some water.I tell 'em i m a bit nervous(truth is i m abt to breath my last)
she gives me the bottle......i take it n try to open the bottle with all my might.....useless.....
she offers to help....i tell 'em no ma'm its abt to open.....again i give it all i hv got.....but the effort comes to cipher.....futile....at last with a dumb grin on my face i give the bottle to her...which she opens easily....i pat my back mentally for that....i take the now opened bottle frm her...and drink one glass of water.....as i start to feel better n think to start...i m hit by another round of nausea
i gulp down another glass.Since i think i wont be allowed to drink another glass of water i put the glass down......now i complete my so called intro....now she starts asking me tech questions which
i answer like a pro as if i was born doin' this...n make 'em think that i know this stuff as the back of my hand....blah blah n like this the interview ends...i come out all depressed.....which is my natural disposition....i go home, change into casuals....n start smokin like a chimney...then a frnd comes n tells i m shortlisted for HR round.....i think as though that was not enough.....but now the attitude has changed n i feel i have nothin to loose....i go in there without thinkin anything....but, the interview goes down cool.....but with no idea how have i fared....i again feel very tense(i cant think of a stronger word now) . and the wait just helps in increasing the pressure which I handle very coolly which by now you know.As the result is about to be announced i again throw up......but as they say every dog has a day.....i guess it was indeed my day........adios till we meet again.....
