- Compiled from overheard
conversations
~ Girl (While speaking about
herself) : My hobbies are singing, reading books bla bla .....
Interviewer (After a few Qs, notices her in stress ) : So can you sing a
song for me ?
Girl sings for a minute or two
Interviewer : Good ! Now that you are relaxed , let's get back to OOPS
# The interview went on for 30 min and the candidate was selected
~ Heights of Over Confidence
Interviewer asks to write some program
Girl : #include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
int
......;
clrscr();
printf("
I am an employee of TCS");
.
//
proceeds with the program //
.
}
The interview went on smoothly but the
candidate was rejected
~ Presence of mind ( The Best One )
Interviewer ( greets the boy and asks ) : So how are you
boss ?
Boy (Thinks for less than half a min) :
Sir, If u select me you are the boss and I m your employee
Interviewer was overwhelmed and a point
blank selection was made.
~ Heights of Humor (TCS interview)
Boy (While speaking about himself ) : I am a
jovial person
Interviewer: Being a jovial person can u tell us a joke.
Boy: Yes of course sir. In case I get selected
I won say bye to anyone, I'll say TATA TATA only.
The HR was literally blown and
shocked
Boy:
Sir I have one more. I won leave this company at any cost ? Can you say why ?
Interviewer (Thinks for a min) : No idea, you tell me
Boy: I
use TATA salt sir , I wouldn't do disgrace to the salt I eat.
# The
Interview went on well but the candidate was not selected
~ Heights of Insult
Interviewer: So can you tell me how can you increase fuel efficiency ? (
Something of this sort )
Boy: Sir we can use Auto Ignited Knocking Fuel ( Never on earth exists a fuel like that )
The HR with his laptop and wireless Google's his words and finds there
is nothing of that sort
They both had a hearty laugh and made the candidate look like scapegoat thereafter.
# The candidate was rejected
Moral : Never try to outsmart the interviewer.
~ Questioning the interviewer
This plays a very crucial role in the process of interview.
Questions that were asked and which lead to rejection
1. Sir, This being my first interview how would you asses me ?
2. Sir, I "WANT TO" start my career on a high note in a
company like yours. ( Too demanding )
* Its mandatory to ask some Q which reflects your interest towards the
company
~ Heights of Confidence
Boy : Sir, I would
be having a few months of time before joining your company , In what all areas do you think I can improve ?
Interviewer : Who told I m going to
select you ?
Boy : Sir, I am confident I'll get
selected sir.
Interviewer : I may not select you .
Boy : Sir, I am confident I'll get
selected sir ( In a subtle voice ) but I m not over confident that you
will select me
Interviewer smiles and lists out the
areas of improvement
# The candidate was selected
