The title tells it all!!! I am selected in Accenture at a package of 3 lakhs but I am not going!!! hey!!! don’t think I am expecting more than this package…I am thankful to God for this only as I know how much value can I add to the company 🙂
I am basically a civil engineering student doing MBA and trying my luck In an IT company….I know these three things are like three different roads when you are standing at the junction,But you know i am too confused to go on a particular road.LOL
So if you have read my earlier posts you must be knowing how deep knowledge I have in my civil engineering…:) Same is the case with MBA and Same is the case with whatever I do!!
I dont know structure engineering yet i am doing civil engineering,I dont know managing people yet I am doing MBA and at last I dont know C , C++ the basic languages yet I am selected in ACCENTURE – The World’s Largest IT Solution Company…..Isnt this funny?

So let me tell you how I got through the interview and other process…..

Day 1
I along with my friend Hardeep was sitting in the C hall for attending the Presentation so that i come to know something about the company as I had hardly bothered my self to go through the company’s website..There I came to know something about the company and then there was a written test…..I dont know how I cleared that but some how I managed that…

After sometime the names of student were announced and I was one of them…then there was a GD …somehow I managed to clear that too….then at night at nearly 10.30 they said you can leave now and come sharp at 7am

Day 2
In the morning Hardeep came to my house and we filled the biodata form and other required documents…I was dressed like a waiter 🙁 black pant with a light blue shirt and a tie hanging around my neck…so we reached college at around 7.05 am and then waited there for our turn.The wait was getting hectic and hectic as time was passing slowly and slowly…At around 9 am we decided to go out and have something to eat..after roaming here and there and feeling ashamed of our dress we again came back to C hall and sat there and again waited there..

I am sure if ever I had any Girl Friend and she had kept me waiting for that long, i would have surely left her :)...but one thing I notices was that those who had a GF or BF were having no problem in waiting..lol…At 11 am i decided to skip the interview and go back home and start chatting …But somehow something happened and i was forced to sit there…Time was crawling at a speed i cant imagine…every time i watched the clock it just showed 5 min more than what had been an hour back!! At 2 i was so fed up that i declared that i am not interested in sitting for the interview as this is not my type company and so on…You know there are hundred and one methods to criticizing things and i was just doing that…

But Hardeep cooled my nerves and said our turn will be coming at any moment and I was waiting for that moment only……………………..
Interview

So atlast after waiting for 8 hours i was called for the interview..I thought why the hell I had wasted my 8 hours as i was not keen to go to any company due to my MBA..I could have utilised my 8 precious hours on Orkut , Chatting Or Even on My Blog..but anywayz things not always go according to you……

I was first taken for an HR interview..As soon as I entered the room i was shooted with non stop questions..it was like a rapid fire round…I said yes to 1 question which I was not even able to understand 🙂 later I came to know that he had asked me that whether I was ready to sign a service bond or not…lol.…The HR person keep saying me you are not for accenture you are not for accenture and I kept on stating that I am only for accenture 😀
Anyways after 10 -15 min of so called HR interview I came out and was told that I had cleared the HR and now I shall proceed for the technical inteview..Now I was totally shocked that how the hell can I clear HR interview ,I was so rude in answering to some questions and more so as the HR manager was saying I was not the one they were looking for!!! GOD knows how I was selected…

I entered the room for technical interview andI was welcomed with the expected question

WHY IS A CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDENT COMING TO AN IT COMPANY????

I was ready for the answer..and kept saying I can do this in IT ,I can do that ..(full fantar maare) But the interviewer was in no mood of mercy …He said you know there is so much work load in IT.people quarrel with wife and children….there are all sorts of problem in homes…DIVORCE HO JATE HAI!! and so on..I started to smile and said Sir if you think IT companies are responsible for increased divorce rate than i am sorry i dont agree with you..Instead those TV shows are more responsible!! 🙂 🙂

Similarly I started to say things which were not even relevant to what he asked…I was sure that if he asks something which is technical then I am sure I cannot get through…so I started to talk about things which I know or which I like!! 🙂 you all know how good I am in BHORU Activities..thats even reflected here 🙂

So I kept him busy in my talks and tried to pass the time and after 10 min he said ok Mr Singh you can leave!! I came out with full confidence that I am going to be selected as I never let them ask anything which is technical!! lol
