I lost my dream

There are moments in life that you never want to happen. They are something you never want to lose. Something that you were expecting a lot. Something that has been in your dreams for months. But something will not happen for all. I lost something I wanted the most. I lost my dream.Its campus interview from Hexaware Technologies in KCT. We are expecting the visit of Hexaware to our college before the starting of the last semester and we got the opportunity just now.

There were four steps.

1. Aptitude test,
2. Group discussion,
3. Technical interview and
4. HR interview.

I prepared well for the aptitude test. Though I was confident of my aptitude skills, I dont want to be over confident and kept on practising till the night before the campus interview.The day came and I wrote the test very well. Though I dont know some 10 to 20, I was sure that what I have did will mostly be correct and it seemed almost true. I cleared the aptitude test. Then came the worst part for me. Our group for GD contained toughest members like Huzefa, Darwin, Rupesh, Vani etc. Anyhow I was thinking of the GD sessions we had in our college and was sure of clearing the GD. ........................................................................... I really dont want to talk about what happened inside the GD hall. All I can say is I failed completely. I have to be blamed for my own loss. I lost my dream. I lost my dream of getting the job in Hexaware. The dream is lost.

But still in my inner mind, I have something that can get past these sorrowful things and make me work to the best path always. And I call it HOPE......I can easily recall the words of the Architect in the film The Matrix Reloaded, "Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness". I have Hope and I will win.

Dont forget the interview tricks

The day of the interview from Integra Micro Systems, Bangalore. Me and my friend Ravi kumar were waiting outside the interview hall. I already saw many students from other colleges preparing for the interview with many text books like Operating systems, Data structures etc. I just smiled. I just discussed some technical questions with Ravi. And I told him how to behave in the interview hall, as I had attended training sessions by Mr.Suresh Punjabi earlier which he have not. And the time came.
Ravi was called in. I waited outside and I was the next candidate. I tried to remember all the techniques needed to impress the interviewer.
Number one,

Before entering the hall, knock the door gently and open the door and make yourself completely visible to the interviewer and say," May I come in, Please?".

Suddenly, the door opened and a person called my name. I stood up and he asked me come in. He is the interviewer. My first technique went useless. He didn't even gave me a chance to knock the door.
Then, I remembered the second technique.

Dont sit down without being asked.

If he ignores that you are standing, say,

"May I please sit down".

Unexpectedly, while entering the hall itself, he showed me a chair and asked to sit there. Damn. The second technique went off.
And then, the most important one. Mr.Suresh Punjai told us,

"The last impression is the lasting impression".

I have to make an impact while leaving by saying " I have showed you the best of me and I sincerely hope you will consider me for the job. Thank you sir". But again the technique was lost. When the interviewwas over, and I was about to make my lasting impression, he said, " Nice meeting you, Jeykumar. Please inform the next candidate to come after a few minutes once you leave.". I was speechless. My greatest three techniques were lost in this interview. I just said, "Thank you sir" and left the hall.
Anyhow, I showed the truth inside me to the interviewer. I showed confidence in my face. I showed sincerity to my work and I showed him what I am.And that earned me the job. Thanks to Mr.Suresh Punjabi for showing me what I am.

Life is full of surprises

Happy moments mostly comes as a surprise. Thats true. You can never predict, when, surprises may come to you. It happened last week. We had an offcampus interview from Integra micro systems, Bangalore in Amrita college, Coimbatore. 80 students from our department and IT department were given the opportunity to attend the recruitment process. Got the details only at the last moment, we ignored it a bit and went there as if it was a tour. We sang songs and danced in the bus.
There there came the surprises..... In the aptitude test, I am one of the 13 selected fot the technical test.
Again a surprise....... Me and 2 of my friends cleared the technical test and have to go for the final interview.The interview was on the next day. I didn't prepare anything for the interview. Someone told me that it will be more technical than HR. Anyway, I was not ready to preapre for it. So the interview went on.
A surprise again................ When everyone was interviewed for more than half an hour, I was interviewed only for 20 minutes. And there was nothing technical.
The HR manager told us that the results will be announced on monday through email. Days went and only on friday, I got the real surprise............ I got selected. I am placed. The offer letter will be reaching my mailbox anytime soon.

"Life is full of surprises. You loose them when you try to find one. Be where you are and they will come after you as a surprise."

heeeee.... How is my quote??????
