four till now...

The only thing i've learnt from the 4 campus drives I went through till now, always take a pair of extra socks with you if you don't want your socks to smell as if a pig farted in your shoes, suffering from constipation since he ate rotten eggs with garlic and onion last week. Waiting for the entire day process till late night and being left only with such a pair of socks diffuses a higher level of disappointment. Being rejected in the last phase or in the easier round feels like loosing the Olympic gold medal by a nanosecond. Anyways all these recent happenings have added to my endurance and my belief that its not your knowledge neither good communication skills and nor the God who can make it. But its a complex hormonal and neural signals in the head of the interviewer which is difficult to decipher and nearly impossible when you are seated on an itchy neelkamal chair with a person who is as lofty as a drunk after reading ' Business at the speed of thought'. I suppose with all this I am not sounding as, 'I am the most eligible Employable person in town', but this is my personal opinion about the campus placements.

Some of my friends implicated a bucket full of flaws in me for my rejections at various level , but I think this is one of the happenings under the sun that don't have a reason. At the end of the day if you got selected, it was your day and if u didn't, wait for yours, thats it. Its beyond the limits of human kind to comprehend a counterpart in just a fraction of hour. Just ask any interviewer will he be able to decide his life partner, if he is obliged to decide it in just a single one hour meeting, if he say 'yes' he is the biggest liar and the best HR you will ever get to meet. The people who answer NO , are the ones who are most loyal to their life but not to their job, and they can't be. Thus never blame your failures to yourself, your abilities, the books and notes that you didn't revised last night and nor the God. Its the belongingness of the day to you.

PS: The moment you feel that he is going to reject you , just open your shoes and poke your socks to his nose...i am sure he is gonna select you for the sake of his life.
