JOB HUNT

No.4

It's a mere coincidence that my fourth opportunity came from one co. out of Big 4. The profile was again something which I can only dream about, Structured Finance. 

As the co. was from Big 4, so you can expect that size of our family(for walk-ins) could have only grown. This time almost 20 of us went for the proceedings. No one knew what's gonna happen in such big co. Though there were few who learned every possible thing about the co. through google.

Again as usual proceedings began with an aptitude test. followed by an Essay writing. We had to wait for the results for almost 3 hours. Meanwhile everyone was thinking of their future plans with the company- We will live nearby, have food in the office- and all sort of crap. Then came the time for our results. My heart was pounding, I could even hear it beating faster than a bullet train. He started calling names of shortlisted students and my heartbeats growing all the time. He took my name and then stopped.

Out of 20 he called out 6. First we were confused whether 6 are selected or rejected. But he made it clear that we are though to next round and rest can come tomorrow for a different profile. We were send for the HR interview(one step closer to the dream). We gave our interviews and came back. On the way I discussed with others how was there interview and they all told me briefly about it. After listening to everyone I was sure of being there 2nd choice as first was sure to be my friend Abhishek Chadda.

They gave the results of HR round after 2 days. I was told that only 1 is selected. I thought that game is over for me. But again miracle happened and only I was through for the final round (US round as they quote it)...:))

I thought my day of reckoning is very near. I enquired from everyone about this US round but no one was aware. Eventually my telephonic interview started and went through for around 30 min. His feedback was that I am too young and my competitors are experienced but he was quiet impressed from my communication and knowledge of the subject. He told to give the results in couple of weeks.

And by now you can guess the results....I am again rejected...:((((( What the hell is wrong with these people. How am I supposed to get experience unless they give me my first job.

I am moving on....
