The tale of my Second placement offer !

Hi there!

This post is about my second job placement offer.

After my first job offer, my life has changed a lot. Now, I am happy and quite hopeful about my future. Although, the first offer by TCS was good, but I was looking forward to get a job in a core company of my branch (Electronics & Communication Engineering). In the month of January’10, the visit of Airtelnumero uno in the Telecommunication field in India (also in some other countries) – got finalized. The interested candidates were asked to fill up an application form for the job. I downloaded the file from our Training and Placement portal on 25th December’09 and submitted the filled up one, on the same day. On 11th January, 2010, the company- my dream company - visited our campus.

As usual, I prepared myself for the placement process, dressed up nicely, offered my prayers to my parents & the Almighty and headed on to test my hard-work and luck. The Pre-Placement Talk was very good by Mr. Sachin and Mr. Prashant of Airtel. They were representing Bharti Airtel Ltd. After the PPT was over, 22 lucky guys and gals were shortlisted for the written aptitude test. The short listing was on the basis of the CGPA. I was very happy to get shortlisted for the further process.

The aptitude test was basically for testing our skills in Advanced English, Advanced Aptitude and Reasoning Ability. The level of the examination was really a competitive one. The time allotted to the different sections was very less. The time was not enough for even pondering over all the questions, leave aside solving each and every question. The test was for 70 – 80 minutes. Now, after this round of the process, the result of the written test was declared. I got selected for the further process among 10 other aspirants.

After this it was the time for the Technical and the HR interviews. My interview started off nicely. They asked me various questions related to my domain of knowledge. I answered the questions to the best of my knowledge and tried to give the answers nicely. This went on for 35 – 40 minutes.

After this it was the time to wait for the final results. I was really hopeful about my prospect. Finally, the final result of the selection process came out. On 12th January, 2010, I was selected for the job. I cannot forget this day. I felt very happy to get this marvelous job. The job profile is very good and the salary is awesome!

I am anxiously looking forward to work for Airtel now.
