Anxiety, patience and 20k ...
Earlier I had written about the campus recruitment drives in our college. This one is yet another post where I share my experience during the campus recruitment process of a company called 'Aztec Soft'. This CR drives never seem to never let go of me. So here is one more 'dedication' to it from my side. This time around I was out there playing a different role. I was out there as a volunteer.
It was around 10:30 a.m. when I reached the T&P cell of our college. Aztec Soft had come for campus recruitment. It had a panel of 3 members, 2 technical and 1 HR. (1 of the members of the panel; was an alumnus of B.I.E.T.) I was a bit late so missed out the ppt. I heard from my friends that it was pretty impressive. When I reached there, every one was all set to take the written test.
The test was taken by students from 3 colleges, B.I.E.T., G.M.I.T. and JNNCE. Nearly 105 students took the written test. The eligibility being 64% with no backlogs or 65% with 1 backlog. I just got a chance to glance through the paper and it seemed ok. It had a few verbal stuff, a few apti questions and a program (to reverse a given string). The test was carried out in 3 rooms.
By the time I I got back to college after the luncheon, the results were already out. 40 people were short listed for GD. There were divided in to 4 grps of 10 students each. About 11 students from E&C, B.I.E.T., had made it int to GD round.
The GD started by around 2:00 PM and continued up to nearly 3:00 PM. After that was a break of 20+ minutes. Then we had the results of GD. 28 had missed out leaving behind, 12 ppl to face the 'final battle’. The shorlisted students were asked to fill a resume given by Aztec soft.
The interviews began by around 3:30 PM, it had 2 technical panels. ist panel interviewed students from no 1- 6 in the shortlist and 2nd panel interviewed students from no 7-12, as per the list. My friend attednded the panel 1. Amidst all this I could see those very tense, anxious faces, preparing even until the last minute, (much like I did before my interview @ mindtree).
The interviews followed a pattern where in ppl who had made it through the tech interview only, were asked to attend the HR. So I guess the final results were unofficially proclaimed even before the final verdict was out.
Nevertheless an official declaration came by about 7:45 PM. The selected students were all given T-shirts from Aztec soft... Hurray!!! There was jubilation in them... The company had taken, finally 7 students, 4 - B.I.E.T., 2- G.M.I.T. , and 1- and JNNCE. The selected students seemed to be right on top of the world. Their patience had finally paid off, they now had a job offer from Aztec Soft, an offer worth 2.4 Lac/annum.
But the results also have this 'dark side’, that leaves a few of them still longing for that 'million dollar moment'. I tell them, "Guys every dark cloud has a silver lining! Just be patient and u will soon have ur day :)".
By around 8:15 PM, we were @ 'RB', for a promised treat from my friend.. I could sense,his happiness. It was at its zenith. After those 7 consecutive 'failures' in a row. He had finally made it 'big'. We met the panel from Aztec soft @ 'RB', who also happened to be out there after a long hectic day. I enjoyed with my friends and the party just seemed to prolong. (I had to back myself out after 9:45 P.M. with my friend, since it was getting late.) I left the party half heartedly... I congratulated him again for his success and thanked him for throwing at us, such a wonderful party. It was really a nice treat.
The rest is joy, merry, jubilation and every word that symbolizes happiness and festivity.
PS: The fruits of patience are always sweet, but one only needs to be persevering.

keep up the good work dude...you seem to be getting better and better. One suggestion though try putting your thoughts on issues or your feelings about what is happening around you rather than just post good links. embed the links within your post if necessary.
