The Interview

Hey!! I'm writing here after a long time, so about the interview - I didn't make it obviously, else it would have been here in an hour!! But that isn't the issue. They told me that if I answered questions like that, I'd never get placed!! I'll tell you exactly what happened..
They asked if Intel came over next week and offered me a 7.5 over TI's 6, would I go, and I said 'obviosly!!!' And then they asked if I intended to write GRE and if I got accepted at some university would I go for it and I said 'yeah sure'!!!!
And then they had an awesome time practically ragging me out there!! They got me so bad, I was saying one thing one moment and something totally contradictory the next!! I had them literally rolling with laughter!!
But ultimately, it was a good experience, coz in the end they told me exactly how to answer such questions. I'm glad I went for this, else I'd have said all that crap at a real placement interview!!

Day 3: 8:30 a.m.

I made it through the GD!!! I can't beliveve it! And I didn't just make it through, I top the list!!
So next up is the personal interview today, and for that, we had to prepare a resume - my first resume!!
Now, after coming so far, I really want to make it now. Initially, I had just gone for it to see what it was going to be like, no hopes oe anything. But now, I really want to see my list on the 'placed' list. It'll be fun wont it? Well so lets see what happens..

Day 2: GD

Hey I'm done with the GD, and guess what? I spoke! And I spoke quite a lot! And that, when I absolutely clueless about the topic! In fact we all were. And there was just one guy who meekly protested that we were off-track and I like shut him off and he accepted it! The judges were furious with him! But they also pointed at me and said they expected me to carry the GD forward because they'd seen me come for the first GD and we ran out of things to say this time. I just smiled, didn't want to tell him what happened last time!
I guess I'm pretty satisfied, now I believe I can do something about GDs, not 'that' afraid of them anymore.
About whether I'll get to the next level, I'm dead sure I wont. But its okay, I overcame a fear today, and I thank the heavens for that.

Next day-1:30a.m.

Hey I'm back from the valentine thing. It was hell crappy, like I had predicted; but junk that, I have better things to talk about:
The mock placements that is. I sat for this company called Texas Instruments. And know what? I got through the first round!! Next round is the GD, and its probably tomorrow. You can imagine how scared I am after all that fiasco at the mock GD!
So lets see what happens tomorrow, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
