Having had the best Birthday celebrations on Dec 7 ( Govt. holiday due to cyclone predictions turning out to be a false alarm as usual ) with wishes pouring in from friends through 50+ phone calls , 200 Facebook and orkut wishes, the best bday party with mom dad & best buddy and even my favorite comic sending me tons of wishes with GOLD ;-)
HOWZAT ?? (^_^)
Next came DECEMBER 13th a big day in my life. I was gonna attend MY FIRST INTERVIEW !!
Waking up casually that morn , getting ready and telling dad not to keep his hopes high as i'l be getting back home as early as possible , the journey began and this is how the day went :
First round was an online test on C programming , initially as test began by 10 am server crashed. . . after a few hrs of wait I took my first round by 3.15 pm . 90 mins of battling with it I had to wait another hour for the result and then came the Big news ``I CLEARED THE FIRST ROUND``. (shock n surprise to me but not to anyone around me , all they said was we knew it mate you are capable & good luck) :P
Next was my technical HR. Called home to let dad n mom know I was through to the 2nd round. My Tech HR was a cool person who had plenty of time to question me . 45 MINS of testing my technical strength he came to two conclusions - I was good and next he liked the consistency & confidence in my tone . ROUND 2 CLEARED.
My General HR round was postponed to the next day due to lack of time !!
DAY 2: There were around 40 candidates waiting to take up HR . Again the HR was spending quality time with every candidate say 45 mins with each of them !! Waiting patiently for my turn , it was around 3.45 my placement officer informed that 17 of us in the list must go in for a Group Discussion due to lack of time to shortlist the final candidates.
Cleared my GD( my comfort zone ), it was about The Role of Media in projecting Politics . Next came the one to one HR where I was to explain how I would handle the situation given to me ... My situation - " You are left alone in an island with food that can last for just 3 days. What will you do to survive & escape? " , okay I know it sounds like the one in the movie CAST AWAY right I din't know it then anyways Did well on my part and was put on wait for an hour to know my final result
DECEMBER 14th 7:00 pm my HR walks out to give the result : Miss Sujithra you have been PLACED !! Here is your OFFER LETTER !!
My parents were the happiest on earth that day !!
Most of all I need to mention my best friend, senior and trainer for placements Yashwanthy who was gleaming with joy for my success (^_^)
The remaining 17 days was back to routine life getting all the attention from my relatives and management . . But best of all FRIENDS who were really happy for me amidst their worries !!
Like I always say Long Live JOBS !! All Hail ENGINEERING !!
ADIEU 2010 (^_^)
