When I say at de very outset that at this point in life a job was the very last thing I wanted u may be inclined to think of sour grapes but lemme assure u that this wasnt de case. Well Ill spare u de nitty gritty and get right down to de interview.. The aptitude test and so called group discussion were a piece of cake (modesty definitely aint one of my er.. strong suits).. The HR guy had a sense of humour and we got along really well. He was like get through the tech interview and you’ve got yourself a job.I didn’t know there was a technical interview. If I had known I probably wouldn’t have shown up at all.
So went the interview
After the basic introduce yourself and crap he asked the very question I was dreading..
SADISTIC INTERIEWER (lol): Which is your favourite subject?
ME (mistakenly assuming honesty is the best policy): English
INTERIEWER (giving me a look that made me distinctly uneasy) : I had a more technical subject in mind.
ME : Maths ( don’t blame me first thing that came to my head)
INTERIEWER : Ok.. Who invented Calculus?
ME (hoping against hope that this guy had a sense of humour) : Sir..er I meant the practical side of maths.
INTERVIEWER (he had the grace to smile) : Ok lets move on to another subject of your choice.
ME (beginning to feel a bit hot around the collars): Physics
INTERVIEWER : What are Newton’s 3 laws of motion?
ME (with utmost confidence): Sir, the third law is “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”.
(after some fumbling I managed to come up with the other two laws)
INTERVIEWER (frowning impatiently) : Well any other subject you had in mind.
ME (hey am I supposed to be doing his job or what. Lets get this over with.) : C
(and before he could ask some dreadful theoretical question I almost screamed) PROGRAMMING
( He asked me some usual programming stuff which I answered with aplomb thereby regaining my confidence (which is never too far away.(lol))
INTERVIEWER : (with a sadistic smirk ) What about some subjects from the course you are currently taking ?
ME : (screaming nooooooo inside.. here goes nothing) Digital circuits Sir
( After 10 minutes of sheer torture during which both of us realized we were each totally unsuited for the jobs in mind.. me coz I had absolutely no clue what the guy was talking bout and he coz he took 10 whole minutes to realize the same.)
INTERVIEWER : (finally realization struck) Thank you for your time. You may leave now.
ME: Thank you Sir (my thoughts at this point are too graphic to be put in words)
Then a mad rush to the bus stop and it was home sweet home..
