Dear Friends and seniors,
I recently attended campus drive in my college. The company is quiet famous three-letter one, one of the best in IT/ITES sector.
There were 4 rounds. 1.WRITTEN
2.GD
3.TECHNICAL &
4.HR. I had cleared all 3 and was sure of clearing the final one too. They had even collected my RESUME AND 2-P.P size photographs(they dint collect from others).
But I was literally taken-aback that my name was not in the list of selected candidates. They chose only 1 person per stream 1 in HR,1 in Marketing,1 in finance.
This happened around 2 weeks back and I have still not recovered from the shock.
I know I am good in my basic Presentation and communication skills. I did very well in G.D and Technical interview.
I have a very good academic track record. 86%in 10th,95% in +2,78%(first class with distinction in my B.E), and 7.42 cgpa in my MBA and I have work-experience of about a year (if that would count).
I was also completely prepared for HR related questions ESI, PF, Maternity benefits etc,...and Appraisal systems, Training and development related etc.......
I was asked around 12-15 questions in the panel out of which I answered around 10 and out of the ten I am sure atleast 8 were correct..
Now my queries,
Now my doubt is why I was not selected. Does the HR panel expect 15/15 correct answers from a FRESHER or what?
Also I on getting feed-back from some peers I heard that answering in DETIAL could be a (-ve)point for me. In the sense they feel I try and give elaborate answers.. Is it bad????????
My staff and Placement coordinators say its sheer bad-luck for me and also if it had been more than 1 person for HR then I would an immediate choice....as I am one of the best candidates in the college. Am I to believe them??
Last but not least I understand no one is perfect & I may have to improve somewhere so do Suggest to me some other areas where I really need to improve.
Also are there any courses I need to attend to crack the interview?
Any other tricks and tips are also most welcome and needed.
You could also REFER me any relevant job opportunities(FRESHER-HR).
Thanks and regards,
Sharranya V.Ganesh.
