13th of March,2010 will be one of the memorable day in my life.The day I cracked the very first off-campus interview of my life.It is always an awesome feeling to be selected as many job as you are appeared for especially when it is an off-campus interview.
The company was CGI Information System and Management Consultants Pvt Ltd.I am not quite sure that you all are aware of this company before.It is one of the top software companies of Canada.Though I also never heard of the company before.But it is a pretty good company as I realized when I gone through the website of the company.As the package was not so better I was not so much interested to be there in kolkata for the interview.But few of my friends insist me to be there for the interview just to have a sort of experience about the off-campus interview as we had a believe that an off campus interview always going to be a tough one.so last night we decided that we will be there for the interview.
So,the next day morning we went to the Astor hotel near at Park street, kolkata where the interview was supposed to held.It is a three star hotel and was good to have an interview lol.There was nothing to loose as I was sure that I will not going to join the company even if I got selected, but there was something to gain.That makes me much more confident because I knew that I am good at this kinda situation.There were people from JU,Durgapur NIT and BIT Meshra along with the BESU guys.
"The interview will be of four round" hearing that my brain got encumbered as we used to have only two rounds of interview.But the process was faster enough.1st and the 2nd round was of Technical knowledge and last two rounds for the HR.I was in a mood of wash them out completely.Thank God ,in the very first round it happens fortunately as the guy started to ask me about my extra curricular activities and I completely out lashed him.I am sure that I got a very good certificate from that guy because the very next round was a complete mess but still I got selected for the HR rounds.And the next has nothing and finally I got selected.
The IPL cheerleader girls of Royal Challengers Bangalore were also in that hotel and we got a chance to meet with them.My process became over around 3:00 pm onwards.Honestly saying though I was not serious about the job but still its the joy of getting selected let me forgot the tiredness of the hectic day.It was something good feeling.
As I said earlier in this very post that there was nothing to loose but something to gain that was what I thought before the interview but after the interview I got to realize that there were something to loose also when I was severely being drenched with the stuck from some well shaped biceps of my friends which were good enough to fracture few bones in my body.Still I will say its a very good experience and a huge confidence boost for me.
