puys i got 2 rejects this season ISB and XLRI - PMIR
both are baap colleges , so I'd rather see the bright side , that I was capable of going that far , and I must have lacked something in the interview stage , that I didnt get selected . i was preparing for my entrances along with working .Got sick of working in an MNC in pune , cos' there was no work at all , no room for professional development , unexpected experiences of favoritism and regionalism , and I didnt like getting paid for nothing (interview panel seems to take honesty for vague stories , but this is the only reason why I had quit) . Due to recession , finding another job was almost becoming impossible . So as of now no job , no converts , fading self confidence but still somewhere deep down inside theres a little hope . Even my little sis and some so called friends have started giving me taanas now "job kar he leta " , "itna bada risk kyun liya ? " , "aage ka socha hai kuchh ki ghar pe he baitha rahega ?" , but who shall explain to them that "I HAVE A DREAM" 
Ache waqt ki 1 burayi hai ki woh khatam ho jata hai par bure waqt ki 1 achaayi hai ki woh bhi khatam ho jata hai..
Dont loose hope guys, and always remember the following lines:

Keep yourself indulged in something constructive and that you like. An idle mind is a devils workshop. So you need to keep it occupied. Also try meditation. Helps a great deal.
satyamfiredme Saysleaving job is stupidity unless u want do do business
i know man , but i guess everybody has their own take on careers.
i had my own reasons , and dont necessarily advice people to "be a rebel" or anything , if you love your job , then why the heck would you quit it ?
i guess my problem was listening to too much 'rage against the machine'
And now you do what they told ya ?

Dude , I fully support ur decision.... If one is not enjoying the job, he should quit it , provided he doesnt hv a family to feed.... Money matters only up to a certain limit.... Do u really believe ur dream is practical ? If yes, have u done anything to come closer to ur dreams? So start working towards that... Get to know ppl sharing similar dreams.... Whenever u feel low, talk it out, with ur family or friends.... Tell ur family and friends explicitly not to give taunts and u feel insecure bcoz of that.... They will understand and support u..... Especially Sisters are very sweet... She will be ur major support.... Prepare fully for entrances this year and get to top b schools.... Its just a phase .... Will certainly pass.... and see outside ppl.... A quarter of India doesnt even get 2 time meal.... Still they live and happily .... So we dont have a right to feel low when we are in much much better position...... All the best.....!

Dont give up dude ..Keep trying till u suceed or get what u wanna get .....ATB....:cheerio:
Getting a rejection at some point doesnt mean that life has come to an end
and trust me everyone has to face a rejection at some point of time
if you see a student getting rank 1 in IIT JEE and getting 100 percentile in CAT after completing his graduation, and you feel he has or would never have faced rejection, then get out of your dreamworld..
Newton, Edison, Abraham Lincon are some people who had written their names in golden words in history of mankind and no matter if anyone remembers you or not they would be remembered till the end of humanity (or i think so)....even those ppl faced rejections...jst read bout their childhood n u ll knw
i wud jst like to say jst giv ur 100 percent to wateva u do n then jst
"Hope for the best and stay prepared for the worst"
u ll never loose...
All d best guys

There is one thing thats common to these people though-They loved what they did and thats why they prevailed and succeeded. Unless you love your field of work, I can't see why you will succeed and neither can you.
This next video that you see is the one video that has changed many lives and it will change many more. To me its the most inspirational thing that I have ever known and to my fortune I had found it while I was quite young (I turned 22 last month) and my life has not been same again.

Is quitting job a good option?
This year for all 2009-2010 exams i continued my job and gave all exams. I have to work in shifts and shift timings change every week. I failed to study completely and failed to give enough number of tests frankly cuz less time available after office. I work for 11 hours includein transport n all.
I'm planning to quit job in august this yr to prepare well. Would this be a problem in interviews (if i get thru written exams this yr)?

See it all depends on you.there are many people who made it to the top bschools after quitting and there will be many who blame that they werent selected in the interview because they had quit and it made a bad impression.
If you feel that you are unable to study nothing after job and are desperate to get an mba then quitting is an option.And coming to the interviews then maybe quitting wont be seen in the positive light and you will surely be asked why you quit.But the thing is that in an interview ample questions are asked on hobbies,extra currics,acads and stuff.If you are able to impress the panel on these counts then there is no reason you wont be taken.
guys here goes my story i am a dentist, during my course i realised dat i m not meant 4 dis field den thought of doing mba, friends laughed at me and family din support so i had to take tuitions and pay 4 my coaching classes and i started preparing v hard .in d course of time 2 of my batchmates joined me n started preparing 4 mba. preparation was v difficult 4 me coz i had lost my touch in maths long time back but still managed 2 get back and d result, i got 99.22 in cat and my friends got 96 and 93 but again der is a twist in d story i did not get any iim call but both of dem got 4 calls coz of der category. and guys de wer d same frends who earlier laughed at me for preparing 4 mba .

Friend ,
I think you have not applied to other b school or perhaps your knowledge abt b school restricts to IIMS n few others. At your percentile you could have easily got a call from XIMB , IMI , MDI , FORE , LBS , GREAT LAKES, IFMR , KJ SOMAIYA , GIM , LIBA , iim ranchi / rohtak (incase you appeared in 2009 cat) N other reputed schools. I have seen many people who just aims/aspire for few selected "premium b-schools" n ufortunately ruined their carrer/ life n thereby feel dejected.
Sometimes traveling deep down a wrong path a human wakes up and realizes its not here i want to be. The best way to find the path he lost is to travel back and find the right road.
I am on such a path.
Previous failures deterred me. Now i have reached a point where i have nothing to loose only to gain but apprehensive whether an above average student can make it to the elite IIM club?
Any help is welcome from all the guys here.
I used to think two failed attempts taught me to move on as life had to move on but then cant stop these words ringing in my head IIMs .. kept myself away from my friends who achieved and won so that i can get over this madness this turmoil inside me but living a life and doing a job where these 3 words never ever ring i still keep dreaming these words with my eyes open. I dont want to get started about what happens when i close my eyes. Sometimes i think i am a looser but then i think sometimes pain and loss drive me to get me what i want. Sometimes i get up in the morning think alright Rambo no more thoughts about that today. But, I forget Rambo was Sylvester Stallone not me. No pressures from anyone - nothing have a good job and all but have you guys felt a void that something is not effing right.
Apologies if i am speaking trash here. But lately i feel this is driving me nuts. The last attempt i made took a lot away from me and the one thing which i felt was mine also left me. You see, i devoted myself understanding a simple fact that IIM is a miracle and to make a miracle one has to become a miracle. At least a mere mortal like me thinks so.But, nothing happened except that i was holed in my room for two weeks when the result was declared. No food, no nothing. Hell, did i stink when they broke down the door and came in to search for me. But i have never blamed anything in my life. Took what i have and like they say in Rugby ran with it till the end zone.
But, now i feel strange as if i am supposed to do something tread back ... i dont know guys i feel something.
A shrink sounds a better idea. Forgive me but i felt staying anonymous and speaking about me might help me find answers inside me .
i thnk try this link:-

I have 39 months exp in Accenture and i failed miserably in CAT 2009 and other exams.Everytime I go through the season of exams the results seem to be the same.I am going to try for one last time in 2010.As Jim Carrey says in "BRUCE ALMIGHTY" "BE THE MAIRACLE".Just now saw Dhoni hit 2 sixes to win the game and guide CSK to the semis.12 was needed of 4 balls.Dhoni went BOOM BOOM.We need to deliver that kind of a performance everytime to get into the IIMs.I am sure that if we all prepare for 3 to 4 hours a day from now on or atleast from May we will be able to do it.Lets do it!
Inspite of preparing well got 94 in cat and ended up with a single IMI hr call..attended gdpi+essay and it was just fine..now i hear that hr doesn't attract much recruiters nowadays..
Tried taking help from seniors around but got only diplomatic replies but i don't blame them..if u are really interested in hr then go for it..this is boring man..i am a fresher and know many people who just get into good b school with good amount of labor and choose their specialization thereafter and now how can i know whether i am into hr or not..the worst thing is i am still unplaced and having a tough time getting a job..i can't prepare by taking a drop because that will be a dark spot in my profile..
I am very frustated and need some inspiration..IMI seniors i know you all have helped a lot but i am still confused like hell..please don't groan..

dude, i hope u've heard of these names - Uday Kotak & Chanda Kochar. and to go outta india - Steve Jobs, Bill Gates... well the 1st 2 ppl, they dint go to IIMs, they went to JB... and the next to ppl, they dint go to any B-school... so, IIMs are not the only place to be... no doubt they are the best, they give u everything on platter, but wen u reach at the top havin a degree from IIM-A, B or C, it seems so normal, as if u were destined to reach at the top.. but wen u achieve gr8 heights even widout an IIM degree, the pleasure is unimaginable... brand name is not the only thing.. ur passion for work is... m too young to say all these big words, but i blv in all this, so i'm sayin this..
i dont really run aftr brand name... i had a call from IIM-A ABM course this yr.. everyone told me, it's Ahmedabad, u do any course, u're life's set.. but i dint wanted to go into agri-sector... so i dint even attend the interview... coz i blv, more than the college, it's ur conviction wich matters... so brother, do try to get into IIMs, but dont make it ur aim in life.. a degree from iims should be ur stepping stone, not ur aim in life...
