VISION Interview

Vision is the son of COBRA corporation so technically it was COBRA Interview.

So finally I got my hands on one good offer after immense hunting, but one thing is that I need to get accustomed to the company policies & its working environment. Most probably I’m gonna take this job as it’s pretty inviting & it has pretty high hopes for my speedy growth (but still not 100% sure).

Morning- I go for an interview to a place in Hyderguda & get to the building where the interviews are conducted. Then I fill one questionnaire (Q1) which was kinda surprising, the range of questions it had were -Management qualities, where have you been a leader, write on self-motivation (50 words) & other such stuff which were not at all expected. Then my name is called for an interview

Interviewee- P1

P1- Hello Girish! How are you?

Me- M fine! How about you sir!

P1- Fine! So tell me about your self?

Me- blah blah…Goes for 1 minute & then ends with “this profile suites me”…;-)

P1- good! Starts explaining about the company work

Me- ohh ohh ohh... (I was so damn blank)

P1- oh k girish! Can you just sell me this pen?? (Hands over his pen 2 me)

Me- I start with…The pen is……. (Interruption)

P1- I give you 30 seconds- thinks & sell it to me

Me- I take some 10 seconds, Sir I am ready!

Me- This pen has lotsa qualities…Good ball point pen, then it has a rich look to it…sir you would wanna try it & I am sure this pen wont disappoint you & you would possibly wanna buy it later on!

P1- good good...see Girish I can’t recruit you with 10 minutes of interaction. If you’re short listed, you will get a call for tomorrow’s rounds. Good luck.

Me- thank you very much. Bye

I come home & finally @ 5:00pm I get a call from PAYAL (receptionist) about my shortlist & an invite to attend other rounds tomorrow @ 8:30am.

Today morning, I head on directly to the venue for my further rounds. She hands me another questionnaire(Q2), which was so so so so so so so damn easy- it had questions from math (basic calculations, basic verbal & basic GK (BTW who’s the vice president of India??...;-(). Then I had to wait for some 30 minutes & again there is a round on company profiling (no talking, just listening).

 

 APSRTC corporate BUS STATION (office)

Field work-Took an auto and went to a BUS STATION (not some bus depot) but a corporate office. Then got our entry & then the surprising deal was that we were to approach clients for their funds for CRY (Child Relief & You)…then we move on to 15-20 other people ( I was there with Mr. Saroj (Assistant manager) & my other friend Akshay)..We were quiet stunned with rejections & other awkward looks from the people we approached; it was very new to me. Came out with a lesson on approaching clients (Introduction, Presentation, Short story, close, Re-hash).

 

Me @ the APSRTC (thats the first model of the state busses)

Then afterwards we parked @ the office, we were to fill another questionnaire (Q3) which had everything to do with (field work, approach, strength, weakness & other field based questions). Then finally we were called for the last & final interview.

P1: Hi girish! How you?

Me: Hi hello! I m fine

P1- So how was your experience?

Me- truly speaking, it was not totally fun coz at certain points I got direct rejection to my face which was very surprising but overall it was nice sir.

P1: yes yes!! Rejections are a part of this business, you need to understand that

Me: I totally do sir. (duh!!)

P1: Starts explaining about the profile & my growth in the company.

Me: Sir the compensation cannot be raised sir?

P1: see there is no limit to your raise, you can finish your hierarchal assessments & get on with a greater pay.

Me: Oh k sir!! (Still not convinced with what I’d be paid)

P1: so Girish! Tell me about your 2 greatest strengths & weaknesses?

Me: Answers it with a fire…blah blah

P1: oh then, if your selected we would get back to you by the evening. Good luck

Me: it was a great experience, than you sir

Me: bye sir…laughs

Finally @ 6:30pm I get a call from Neha (Receptionist) that I have got the job…Hurray Hurray

PS: tomorrow I got to report @ 8:30am morning. Would be going in my bike

PS: Sachin bagged 12K runs beating Lara’s record

PS: I am happy but at the same time some thing is really wrong about my prospective towards the job.

PS: I love it, I just need more interviews to crack & get better jobs..LOL…cheers

TV Channels ;-(

ohh these bloody TV channels are so damn getting into my nerves that its content has made me to write an article on my blog। There is absolutely no dilution of the channel content for weeks 2 go, I have been watching TV just coz I have all the time in this world till I get my joining date ;-) but again there is nothing left for me 2 watch as they broadcast the same thing again and again. WHATS THERE 2 CHANGE MUSIC- plz stop darde disco, ankhon mei teri, mauja mauja & move your body baby etc etc, Put some tracks which may date back 2 the 70s but not these again and again. If not the old list, start with some new movie albums and some tracks from strings or junoon which are nowhere 2 be seen. TV shows- start new seasons of the shows like friends, sienfeld or the OC, the desperate housewives or else change the show itself but plz dont torture with the same season again and again. The only best part of the channels- THE EVER CHANGING ADVERTISING SECTOR WHICH COMES UP WITH EXTREMELY CR...

Better late than never...a perfect beginning for my blog post. It's time to write about my unexpected event which certainly did come to reality today. I used to search google for a post like this in my final year/post placements/post engineering but I never found anything informative & straight to the point with regards to the reporting day ( not trying to boast, really!! )...So, I've put in a little effort to give you the exact picture of whats what on the reporting day!! Wipro Technologies did is for us, it was our reporting day today (27th April 2009). Our training starts on May 4th 2009 (one more week to go). Let me just rewind & play the whole day.
