My First Interview

March 3, 2007, the day I will remember all through my life. Have any of you guys attended an interview without preparation; this is one of those kinds. But I was looking very professional with a neat full sleeve shirt and dark trousers. It was a pleasant experience to write an aptitude test, which I loved a lot. I love mathematics and that was a good challenge. First I kept the paper aside and started thinking about the game I had played the day before. Then I started it; the time allotted was 45 minutes for 15 aptitude, 20 on English and 10 on quantitative. I finished it in 40 minutes and gave the paper, but many had given before the time I gave it.

Then the results came of the 250 who had attended 70 where short-listed. They told the first round was the crucial and most of them from it would be selected. The second round was a group discussion. Topic given to us was the hottest topic in colleges of my university “should mobile phones be allowed inside the colleges”. We were a group of 10 and only 7 spoke out of it and 3 where rejected in that round. Then my friends and I went to play cricket in our college ground as they had given us an hour break. Third round was the technical round where I was questioned technically for half an hour. Then I got through to the final round where I had to meet the HR. Then results came after a long wait of 3 hours. The results were convincing, 58 had been selected from our college and I was one amongst them. The joy on face could not be expressed again. Hope to enjoy the day of my first job.
