Best interview.......Must Read this can help in ur future interviews
Candidate: I am Rameshwar Kulkarni. I did my Tele Communication
engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology.
.
Interviewer: BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology? I had never
heard of this college before!
Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an
admission into it ..
What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly! in 12th. I
was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I
prefer to call him 'baap') - "I cannot invest so much of money".(The
baap actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on you"). So
I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name - BabanRao
Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya.
.
Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your
engineering.
Candidate : Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you
know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis
tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and
3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.
.
Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.
Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will
try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket
matches really affect exams a lot. I think they should ban it.
.
Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.
Candidate: No, no... I am talking about Exams!!
.
Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?
Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought
I would complete it. In fact, when i flunked in 3rd year, she was
looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus corporation in Maharashtra )
through some relative.
.
Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study?
Candidate: he he he.. Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education
itself was so much of pain!!
.
Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have
you worked?
Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say Andheri is my current
platform. Earlier I was at Vashi center. So Vashi was my platform
then. As you can see I have experience of different platforms!
.
Interviewer: And which languages have you used?
Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I can keep quiet in
German, French, Russian and many other languages.
.
Interviewer: Why VC is better than VB?
Candidate: It is a common sense - C comes after B. So VC is a higher
version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up with a new
language VD!
.
Interviewer: Do you know anything about Assembly Language?
Candidate: Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the
language our ministers and MPs use in assembly.
.
Interviewer: What is your general project experience?
Candidate: My general experience about projects is - most of the times
they are in pipeline!
.
Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current job?
Candidate: Sure, Currently I am working for Bata InfoTech ltd. Since
joining BIL, I am on Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that
Bench was another software like Windows.
.
Interviewer: Do you have any project management experience?
Candidate: No, but I guess it shouldn't be difficult. I know Word and
Excel. I can talk a lot. I know how to dial for International phone
call and use speaker facility. And very important - I know few words
like 'Showstoppers ' , 'hotfixes',
'SEI-CMM','quality','versioncontrol','deadlines' , 'Customer
Satisfaction' etc. Also I can blame others for my mistakes!
.
Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?
Candidate: Not much.
1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.
2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have
deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.
3. I believe in flexi-timings.
4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear
t-shirt and jeans.
5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as
to avoid breakdown due to overwork.
6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably
1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe
. But considering the fact that there is Olympics coming up in China
in the current year, I don't mind going there in that period.
As you can see I am modest and don't have many expectations. So can I
assume my selection?
.
Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our
organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before. Welcome
to INFOSYS.
