Chapter Five
Most Memorable Day Part 2

Now comes the interesting part. Atlast my turn came. I was called in for the interview. And guess what - that HR whom I spoke to was one of the panel. Now the conversation between me and my Interviewer goes like this. Everything couldnt be included in this...... But I have covered the interestings parts...
Legend: Me - Me ofcourse, Int - Interviewer

Me - Good evening Sir, Good Evening Madam
Int - Tell me about yourself.
(the same old que)
Me - I study in UVCE, CSE. I studied in Florence high school blah blah blah.........
Int - What are your Positive points?
Me - I am a hardworker, a go-getter, a quick learner....
Int - and your negative points??
Me - I expect people around me to work in the same wavelength of mine.
Int - You tell me, who taught you this answer??
Me - Why did you ask this question Sir?
Int - I have listened to many people before this saying this answer.
(Actually one of my friend 'B' had instucted me to say this answer. But he had instructed many people as well. Because I was the last person, I got caught)
Me - No Sir, thts my negative point. there is no one who taught me. If I had to mention one more negative trait is that I am very much diplomatic
Int - Diplomatic? That should be a positive point right?!!!
Me - You shouldnt be diplomatic everytime. There are some situations where a person should be diplomatic
Int - Ok.. Now tell me what do you know about the company? What did you know before the pre-placement talk?
Me - I have heard that it had a great working environment. It has a great working culture and has been awarded as the best employer.
Int - Is that all? Ok tell me Who is the CEO of this company????
(The other HR had told me about the CEO before but I didnt remember his complete name... I was trying to recollect as she stood staring at me for forgetting the CEO's name so soon)
Me - Sorry Sir, I cannot remember his full name.
Int - You are expecting to get into this company and you dont even remember his name.
Me - Sir, I'll get the information.
Int - When?
Me - Now!!!!
Int - And who do you think will give that information?
Me - You!!!!!
Int - I never expected this answer. Suppose you were the interviewer, and somebody says you the same thing, what would you have done?
Me - I wud have given out the answer
Int - (nodding his head in surprise) Ok .. You may leave now.

After a while, the other HR whom I had spoken before called me....
Legend: Me - Me...... HR - that lady

Me: Yes madam, You called me?
HR: Yes... You now tell me seriously, who taught you all those wrong things?
Me - No one madam.... Did you think anyone taught me?
HR - Just asked......... OK.. tell me after giving all those wrong answers, u still expecting to get in???
Me - It is not in my hands madam, you have to judge
HR - No No... Tell me what do you think??
Me - (Like a Big Don answered) When you can get into that company, why cant I?
HR - ok.... You may leave.....

I was very very happy after how the interview went.... I was leaping in joy... I was not at all expecting to get selected after giving those kind of answers, but even then, I dont know why, I was ecstatic.

Later when the results were announced, mine was the first name......................... :-)
