My first walk-in

As my blog name suggests i have been a bit lazy in keeping my blog updated.....so here goes my next post abt a personal experience of My First Walk In ....

The day started off well , it was a good opening with a brisk wake up call from my old mobile ...I prepared myself to face the so called art of the fight between the don't knows (because most of the time i really feel how do they get such questions )interview which i expected alot...

Then as we planned, myself along with three of my friends started from our respective home for the interview ...

Huh look at my guts starting off to an interview not even having a hard copy of my resume ...it was like a funny thing when i started thinking of interviews as in tamil films where they say "NO VACANCY" but i really experienced the bitterness of such a scenario(which ll be coming in my next post)..then i got down near my hometown to take the hard copies of my so called stuffs that i came across my life in these years participating , organizing and all such stuffs so called certificates which they value more than the person we are now .......

After a long run of prints , photocopies of my CV along with mark sheets i boarded the bus with a good amount of doubt of my destination ....then there was a beep in my mobile , i took it to see Huff it was our INFO boy saying with his usual way " Reached , where are u? " ..i text back to him " on my way " ...and asked him for a favour....

It was the most really hilarious part... where i laughed inside alot ...i had asked him to check out whether the stop where my bus ll stop is nearby or far away ...he had enquired the ppl in the bus stop where he was waiting ....there came his big time ...he ,after asking the ppl , realized that he was standing in the same place which i had asked him to inquire abt ....

He had asked me to update where i was nearing ..so i started of with my text giving him a live commentary of my travel ..from the airport to the tea stall in the small corner and the out lander poster ..even from the driver of the bus applying the breaks and accelerations to his steering right and left .. till i myself got down to meet them...hope he would have regretted for asking so to me (lol).

All four of us gathered and as usual being ppl of a great appetite we went in for some fresh juice and there we started walking ...then on our way to office there happened the greatest of ayya's comedy who always makes our stomach ache by laughing ...here goes what happened

We crossed a mandapam ...there was a board which they usually keep for auspicious occasions ..there came a voice from our tamil ayya ...." Payan peruuuuuu ROHIT na ...apa ponu peru UPANAYANAMA da ????"
we thought for a while and we all ended up in great laughter as we saw the board ..it was UPANAYANAM for some boy ....OMG wat to say ayya's ignorance he said "seri vidu vidu " with his usual tone.....

We walked... walked ...walked............................... walked ..........wwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddddddd..(sorry it was a very long walk [:P] lol)

Alas we reached the destination "the software company named with one of the direction with a collobration of software and electronics"....On our way we were talking abt the funny sms sent by friends abt jobs and how difficult it is really to get a job in this recession.....sweating and beating of the heat with long breaths we took our shelter under a tree for a couple of min...

Our Tamil ayya got very tired bcoz of his all time travel in cars and bikes (not driving but sitting ) as he always say " Driverathu straight uh pakanum but nan nallu side um pakanum cha ore kashtamapa "....

On reaching the office we saw our madipakkam manikam (the man of beauty) and our so called water packet (till date i dunno why they call so) ...they said it went off well( i mean the interview )...we entered the office where they asked us to submit resume ...we were offered tea by the person selling tea ..but with ethics we thankfully said no...(may be also with a fear they may ask ourselves to pay (lol) juzz kidding ..i think none ll take a hot drink after such a looooooooooooong walk on the hot black cake except for our one and only LOGS who asks even at nite 12 for a tea where there is only a single auto left to reach home and even the tea shop trying to close ..he loves tea may be because............ )and we were asked to wait inside ...

Only after entering the office i noticed i have not updated my resume i gave a cheers to myself ..good my friends have done it ...i totally forgot ...

FRIENDS CHECK UR RESUME A DAY BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW...KEEP YOUR CV UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME

We were called of separately inside . ...we waited then ayya went for interview ...two of us were sent upstairs myself and gym boy

My friends were done with the interview (as i cant get a chance to peep into their interview i cant say more abt them) but am sure our gym boy did well bcoz i heard his voice even beyond two doors [:P]....

Its my turn now ,in my first question i was asked abt my hobbies ....then i was really amazed wen my interviewer started typing in his keyboard and asked questions from monitor ....Huff the questions for God sake i have never came across ..... i was pretty sure abt certain questions and for some i said directly " Sorry i have not come across this before "

here goes a sample question ( if u know plz answer i am too eager to know the answer)

my interviewer started of
we have #include in c
do we have #include ?file?? in c
where in the hell can i know such an answer i said sorry i don't have any idea but still ..as in a tamil film it comes i think he thought to himself " Aha oruthan sikirukan da " he posted me his next question...can we nest such headers ....OMG i again gave the same reply...

I was asked to wait where i came to see my friends , we had a gossip everyone said abt their experience ...and as usual our gym boy said " dey onume solala da sothapiten " ...its his usual dialogues so we neglected his comments having a sheepish grin among ourselves ...

Here we went for HR ...oh its again hilarious i really don't know why they try to attract ppl with this ..there was a old lady with as much of make ups and a modern dress ..she started with the same piece of dialogue (which we came to know as we discussed coming out...think she was taught to tell to everyone) ...

" I basically believe in your interview scores bcoz we believe in our employees who interviewed you ..and she said ...we don't consider below 5 ..we wanna ppl to take training with 6 and 7 ..above 8 are absorbed directly ..You have to pay 5k for training which ll be returned if u are recruited based on your performance else (its implicit-- burp!!)......"

The same HR story " how much do u expect "... i was eagerly waiting for this question the day long so i said with my shoulders raising "hmmm arnd 10 k" ..i think she didn't even mind to notice wat i said.... she started with some piece of dialogue

" It ll be negotiated . You ll be happy with what we give and Wat u get " ...i asked to myself then why did they ask the question...Huff i went mad so when i stood i directly asked "if u don mind can i know my marks" ...she said 7 ...

I came out ...we ppl started back discussing the dialogues which was recited separately for everyone, which would have saved some of their energy for the rest of the day if they had said to us together...MAY BE ITS THE SECRET OF MANAGERS OR HR

We were laughing at ourselves saying1 mark cost 5k great...Our tamil ayya was tired to the core busily wiping his sweat . We again walked to the bus stand giving us a boost with a soft drink ..

Alas the great travel to the bus stand came to an end ...we sat in the seats that were provided in the shelters ..huh i was amazed Chennai is getting improved day by day ..we were discussing abt "WAT NEXT"...

and here i stop with my experience of my first walk-in ...i ll continue in my next post abt the day(actually it is the same day but it was after noon) when i really regretted for my degree ....look forward for it
