Life had been super hectic off late. before coming to any conclusions on the work load of fourth semester, let me clarify...
we have our fourth and final fieldwork this semester . having had experience of 3 fieldworks and with 56 fellow classmates completing the same no of fieldworks, we are fairly equipped of all the info required to do any project given to us by the companies :p
well coming back to the topic ( Hectic life), its all about placements.....
Our laterals have already started and companies keep coming ...
The first most imp question is to whether to attend the interview or not ( salaries are quite good in all companies, but having looked at almost 5 sectors in fieldworks and summers make u attracted towards few sectors and also repulsive to quite a few)
The next important part is whether the company u opted will give u a shortlist or not ....:P
Last , by some turn of luck and hardwork u had done some time back , if u do happen to get a shortlist , the interviewers bombard u with the dreaded questions.....
Why MBA , and why haven't u continued in the job u had ( common,dude u should be kidding...which software engineer in India dont want to do an MBA ;)
Why HR ???( No respite ....u would face this question once again....i am bored of explaining how HR can be a strategic Business partner :P)
What are ur strengths ...what are ur weakness....tell me an instance where u worked in a team ....( should be kidding right ......) and when u had burnt the midnight oil (ok.....wasted so much power and sacrificed watching videos streaming on youtube on college broadband) and studied with labour laws and stuff ...
the interviewer cooly smiles and says " U are from TISS ..so its taken for granted u are goodin subjects ", now tell me ur strengths ( %#E##*(#)@)@)
Life moves on .....next update would be when i get placed ..
