hi,
This is my first blog ever, so any mistakes (in grammer, Spelling or something less or not completely understandable) i ask apologies in advance, & suggestions & critics are welcomed so that i can improve on my blogging skills.
Ok lets begin......
first of all i would like to tell, that there are some ads in this world that seams bullshit but they sometimes do happen in life, u can call this luck or fate whatever u want...
so here is one case with me:
on thursday i got a call from thomson digital that u have been called for the last interview with the E-GM (executive general manager or whatever he was), so i got ready & left for the same (oh i was in jaipur & the interview was in noida, hehe).
hmmm so reached there in time i.e. 12 P.M. slightly tired (coz i can't get a gud sleep in bus) was been asked to sit in the waiting area, i was completely sure i will get rejected ( coz i knew no matter i how gud i was with tech skills i am "-10" in G.K.), so i waited & waited, had my lunch, then coffee, again coffee... finally we ( 5 people for the same post) got the chance for the interview at 6 P.M. .
Mine was second among the lot, went in there & the interview began (there were 2 H.R. girls at my back & the E-GM):
E-GM: robindra jain is that how i pronounce.
Me: yeah.
E-GM: from where are you
me: Raj.
E-GM: what day is it.
me: 11th(too eager to answer without completely understanding the question), no thursday, no wed, no no its friday.. friday (shit i really messed it up.... )
E-GM: u gave me 4 answer now how come
me: m tired after a journey & 6 hours wait here so( wtf kinda answer was that another mess up)...
E-GM: ohk u want me to call u other day.

E-GM: Ok tell me how is U.K. divided

E-GM: ohk tell me how many states are there in India.
me: (abe yar abhi to 28 thi shayad ek aur divide hui thi recently to 29 ho gayi hogi, sala itna division ho gaya ki track rakna hi mushkil hai) 29..
E-GM: ( sala kya aadmi hai isko ye bhi nahi pata..)can u name them!!

E-GM: tell me something u know bacha how can i hire u if u cant give me right answers..!!!

E-GM: ok tell me who is the director of avatar
me: (he pronounced it completely wrong, so pata nahi kaun se jamane ki film hai ) i said surprisingly i haven't heard of this movie .
E-GM: are tumne ye nahi suna abe kya ho tum & then asked the same ques. to the girls behind me (even they didn't knew hehe who BTW got the movie name so i heard the correct pronunciation)
me: oh avatar sir i know this movie but i haven't seen it(which was true BTW).
E-GM: tu bata kya poochun tujhe jis se tujhe main hire karun aise to main hire nahi kar sakta na..
me: yes sir u right ..
E-GM: are dont be embarrassed but u dont know anything..!!
me: sir m not embarrassed is just that now i know i have to work on my G.K. skills more now so will work hard on it.... (still i was looking in his eyes confidently (i guess..) & smiling )
E-GM: Ohk u wait outside i will talk to u later.
after about 1:30 hours he called me back & said
E-GM: u know u r a complete "ullu"
me: yes sir but i now know how can i improve & will work on it.
E-GM: hmm u know m still hiring u because u were confident while facing me in the interview but u have to work really hard, "aur agar tu nahi sudhara na 6 mahine main to beta main nikal dunga tujhe)
me: sure sir (abe yar chalo job to milli aur waise bhi jab job main perform karunga to wo kuch nahi kahega kyunki after all m gud in tech...)
E-GM: chal ja aur bahut mehenat karna
me: sure sir (abe yar ye to wohi ho gaya "tata DOCOMO ka interview wala ad" hehe)
