Getting Started

There is an old saying "well begun is half done". Hoping that I kicked off in good fashion to post my first blog I will try my level best to maintain longevity of this leisure pursuit.
And as all my friends say "Chandu ka katna hi hota hai" so starting with the experience of getting a job worth 24 lpa (as quoted by chairman of co.) The co. that fooled almost entire IT, distributing a package of 24 lpa, job in USA and a MS degree from a US university to almost half of three figure no.
The fact is he is "thekedar" of software engineers who will give us work in US and will take commission from us. The irony is one who should be employed by us is employing us.
It was like any other placement day in IT a software firm offering 18 lpa was visiting campus. Not sure of our soft skills we guys were enjoying Sunday and co was giving away its presentation. After presentation i heard that anyone can apply and can give interview in casuals the idea of facing interview in casuals really fascinated me and in t-shirt and jeans I headed towards Training and Placement cell.
The news of this uniuqe hiring process spread faster than untamed forest fire and there was rush outside the interview room. After waiting for few minutes i got interviewed along with Pandit, Chotu and two other students of ceramics. Here's how interview progressed
He asks for CV and then
Interviewer to Deepak: Deepak tell me your branch
Pandit: Mechanical
Interviewer: rank
Pandit:8th ( fatta decided by us in beginning)
Interviewer: Any software experience
Pandit: No
Now he turns towards Chotu and repeats same question. Chotu has same answers ( except branch rank he quoted it 15th)
Now its my turn and I was asked same questions and gave nearly same reply. Same questions were asked with cera students and they replied almost similarly with one two answers varying slightly.
Now he "thanks us" all of us shocked what is this interview over. We thought it might be shortlisting procedure and will face main interview afterwards.
We all moved back to our hostels and spent an hour or so planning tour itinerary. Pandit shouts shortlisted candidates' list is displayed. Hoping against odds I made my way towards TPO and my name in the list took me to cloud nine.
I thought to give second round in same apparels but after seeing others in black and white I changed and went there to give the second round. The joke was over till then the guys moving out were saying all the candidates are selected this is briefing session.
This is not any co and we dont have any job we had made a new profile on naukri.com or other site which will do little more than that. By providing study material and arranging for visa. In lieu they will make us their servant working in other firm for them.
"सपनो का महल रेत के किले कि तरह ढह गया" now none was interested to wait but all was over and everyone was duped. After the conformational of tpr's that this wont be counted everyone dedicated their precious time ( AOE time). And briefing session was now done to group of students to say the end to the drama.
Rest story is known to all students of IT और बाहर वालों सावधान ऐसा prank आपके साथ भी खेला जा सकता है|
