You might know vigneswaralu always tries to be a open book and writes everything he faces in personal life on is blog. Interview ( don’t know why ) seems to be compulsory evil episode one has to undergo if he has plans of getting placed in a company.
In case you are interested what happened in my mock interview check it out here.
As any company selection procedure would go, I had to clear written test and group discussion to reach the interview level. This is no small feat I tell you there was hectic competition, meaning the company is one of the best companies visiting the campus, paying an exorbitant sum of Rs.5000/month as salary and everybody were dying to get into it. I was hopeless as my aggregate stood at just 52.5% and I was last but one in the class, but things do take a twist these days for me. The interview goes below
Interviewer (In) : Well vigneswaralu, what college are you from?
Me(Proudly Of course) : Sir, I am from Sri Deenabandhu Tilak Das Malhotra College of Engineering.
In : I have never heard of that college before.
Me : Even I didn’t know it existed before I joined it Sir.
In : Interesting. Why did you join the college then.
Me : Sir, I as any Indian worth his salt would be, am patriotic and support our country’s cricket team. During my class 12 board examinations I was cheering the team to come home with the world cup and failed to concentrate on petty things such as the board exam. I personally feel they should ban it for the benefit of students like me.
In : Good, so you say cricket must be banned during board exams?
Me : Sir, I meant the board exams must be banned.
In (Stared at me for some time, Don’t know why again) : So Mr.Vigneswaralu , after going through your resume, I found that you have 16 standing arrears.
Me : Yes Sir, In fact I was hoping to have 25 of them but some hopeless professors declared me pass in their subjects.
In : Lets not bother about arrears. We will try some basic questions first.
Me : I’m ready sir.
In : How many seconds are there in an year?
Me: Sir, 12…
In : Only 12?? How come?
Me : Sir, January 2nd,February 2nd……
In : Okay, you are intelligent I agree. Next question If you have Rs 10 and asked bee to give you Rs 50 as a loan, How much money would you have?
Me : Rs 10
In : Hmm… you dont seem to know math
Me : You don’t know bee…
In : Alright, Lets get into something technical.
Me : Okay
In : Do you know C ?
Me : I don’t know him but I know his cousin Bee.
In : Do you know java ?
Me : You mean the coffee cup thing sir ?
In : Yes, its logo is that
Me : I think it sells coffee over internet, doesn’t it sir?
In : I will suggest them to do that. Do you know what a computer is ?
Me : Yes Sir, that thing you know, big white box, you know a tv attached to it and some weird small box attached to it…
In : Very well, we have come here for a hiring a software engineer. How do you think you suit our requirements.
Me : Sir , I know words like project,deadline,night out etc… I think I can be a valuable project manager to your company.
In : You impress me. We are looking forward to work with you.
