My First Interview

Ah well, 15th Jan 2010 was the day of my first ever official interview.

Company: Infosys
Package: 3.25 (oops! one must not publicise one's package ;) )
Preparation: All prayers nothing else (it works all my atheist friends)

Since only this company didn't have any technical round my all hopes were set on it( preparation of CAT took me far away from all the technical subjects and i never knew i loved quant, di, va so much more than microprocessor!!). I work at crisis, always. Even placement couldn't wake me up from my slumber. And on 13th suddenly i realised, fish!!! I am just one day away and I dont even know how to answer "tell me about yourself" yet. So I started my HR interview preparation. Weird questions, funny questions, serious questions, bla bla questions, I tried to prepare all. Got them checked by Bhaiya and then rechecked by Papa. Well with Papa it was more like a mock interview ( Naaa more scary than the real one!! Now what do you expect if someone,who has taken interviews of a thousand people for posts way more higher and much more paying than this, would take mine??).
Praying and telling HIM(up there) that next one will come with GD and TI round, your headache will be doubled, so better get me into this one ONLY for your own benefit, I wont bother you again.

Then came the D-Day. A very long wait, longer ppt (but I really liked how it concluded with a salutation to Indian Army). And then Written Test (Heart beat: 150 per minute). For Infosys, it was the only screening round and I literally didn't prepare at all for this(Reason 1: Overconfidence, Reason 2: I didn't give myself time enough to prepare for it). And while the papers were distributing I wished if only this one time I did sth seriously!!!
Well, it went well... I was done in 20 min in first one of logical and left two questions deliberately because I thought there might be upper cut-off( well actually I wasn't in a mood of dividing a figure like 68.71 by 127.52). And the second one was eng, I tried to do it at my best speed too.

to be continued...
