Hmmmm… College life!! “LYF” that goes very fast like schume’s Ferrari…at last came to an end, end of the glory dazs that i spent with my frenzs and in sports, bunking classes. Most of us are attending the last classes of our academic’s. 60% of them are eyeing for placements while the remaining 40% are busy applying for CAT, GMAT, MAT and many more as this list is a never ending one… to get admission into some post graduation course. Life at GITAM has been indeed very interesting, and honestly speaking these three years went off very quickly,
The first year – Running away from the clutches of seniors…
The second year – flirting gals and engaged in sports….
The final year – Preparing for Entrevue’s……………
There are various moments to savor in my three years of being a “GITAMITE" and the moment I would cherish the most would be the day when I got my first job…
The placement season had just begun and the company in which I got through was supposed to be there at around 2.30Pm in the afternoon. (Man!! wat a time for conducting interviews). And poor me came to know about this only at around one in the noon. Soo I got readily as quickly as possible (which of course meant NO SHAVE)."I don't understand what does a job have to do with a person being clean shaven or not... " Anyways meee…. thooo full prepared….
We were all waiting for the company to come and soon the wait was over and since I got a decent score in the previous round I was among the first for the interview. I didn't mind going first b’coz I felt "the sooner the anguish is over the better" saying soo I went into the interview room
Interviewer: Hello Mr. Sarat Chandra!! (Cheers)
Myself: (y are u acting soo very nice dumbo??) Good afternoon sir!! (Double cheers)
Interviewer: okay Mr. Sarat Chandra, tell me something about urself?
Myself: (Wow! You are sooo very caring, no one asked me this question b4) Sir I ‘m doing my final year graduation In GITAM...(blah blah blah)
Interviewer: Hmm where do you see yourself 5 years down the lane??
Myself:( I knew u naughty naughty boy was damn sure u wld ask this question. I am prepared heeheehoohoohaahaa)..Sir I see myself getting a handle on the job, understanding different aspects of the job, handling a job with more responsibilities etc etc (gosh we have been drilled on this particular dialogue, u wake me up at night 3'o'clock I will get up and say the same sentence without a word missing..Gotcha naughty boy??)
Interviewer: Tell me one reason why should I hire U??
Myself:(Phew!! How do I make him understand that if I get rejected I won't be able to show my face to my friends, all others will be claiming I got into this company that company and u asking me one good reason man!!)
Sir I’m gud at presenting skills and Ur organization is also looking for such profile candidates. And I ‘ve proven that I take responsibilities very quick and see to that, they all are done with perfection.
Interviewer: Wow sooooo….give us a 5min presentation on ur GITAM
Myself: (damn man wat ever scrap I talk you listen …kyaaaaaaaaa) Margayaaaa….
Gitam… one of the best Institutes in India…………went on well
…………………..Impressed
Interviewer: Temme something about ur project, how did u contribute to the organization, wat all methods did u use, and did the organization apply ur suggestions??
Myself:(Man!! Are you guys nuts.. U ask me how many times I took print out of the project.. I’ll tell ya.. U ask me from where did u copy the project from.. I’ll tell ya.. But puhleez.. Not how u did it..)
Sir I did my project in....”crap".... and these are the methods I used.."Some more crap.." and ya they did implement some of them like.."And a lil more crap"...
They asked me about 4-5 more questions, kept my resume with them and said
Interviewer: Nice talking 2 ya Mr.Sarat Chandra.. We will get in touch with ya soon..
Myself: (Phew, my first official interview khatam.. now time for telling others how hard the interview was..hi hi..lol..in case I don get selected I can alwaz say..interview was tough..) Nice meeting you sir..(Shake hand)..
I didn’t wait for the results to be announced.. Later in the evening I got a message from one of my friends saying dat I got selected..Phew.. I heaved a sign of relief.. and smiles were there all across my face..
Morning when I got up I was jobless.. and later in the evening I gotta job..
The first things in life I alwazz do remember.. I remember my first school.. I remember the first person I met in college.. I similarly can never forget the first interview which I got through..Though the euphoria lasted only for a couple of dazs.. da joy I had during those special 2 dazs was worth treasuring..Now da feeling of " I got a job baby" has gone down coz almost everyone is getting placed.. now da discussions in college are not about "where u got a job da".. Its abt "How many offers did u get da"..
This is "All About LYF"
