distraction...
shud say...the heights of distraction...dont know why...but 2day i have written 2 blogs....including this one...the mind kept wandering or probably was getting too many topics to blog on....compulsion at its heights again...
but anyways...i read a blog on a person attending interviews and i remembered one of mine...just cant understand now as to how cud i have been so arrogant ;) well this is wat happened...
during my PG we (me and my friend) were picking interviews....i mean we dint want to get into companies that we dint want to be in...but were generally being shortlisted because of one or another reason...it so happened that in one of the placement processes with an IT major in India(my friend got into this company) we had a test which we both passed and then there was the interview...i dont know i was very averse to IT (i liked computers but dint like the idea of working with them....its different now)
the first question in my interview....
interviewer: Hi, tell me something abt urself..
me: Most of the things are already there in the resume....ask me wat else you want to know
interviewer: #$^(*
and you could imagine how it would have gone further...;) and obviously the results
later in the evening, some guys trying to impress the HR wanted to have a feedback abt our department and students...and this guy was there in my interview panel and he told..."good, but some guys are too arrogant..." looking at me...
sorry buddy...dint really mean it...just wanted to do something different....
but the expression in the interview panel's eyes....i just cant forget it ;)

well in that case...i have a standard answer as to wat am i...but when it comes to questions like wat i want to be 5 yrs from now and 15yrs from now, etc...i dont have...for the sake of writing/answering something i write/answer some crap but i never liked that question...
Hehe, that was a logical answer of yours. HR should not have taken it as arrogance. But you know it was HR and top of it, it was 'the' company. So nothing more was expected. Now even your friend is not in that company :)
well!
if you wanna do something different, dont do it while giving an interview!
wait till you become an interviewer...and then you can be as different and as arrogant as you wanna be!
ciao
Koi has a good point. Should be taken and accepted.
$satya - i dont know whether my answer was logical or not...but i felt it very arrogant for the situation (in the sense that i had no work-ex and wasnt placed at that time either) ;)
$Koi - i agree with u. but again one shud not be arrogant while interviewing...i have done quite a few interviews (recruiting) and have seen that me being arrogant only puts the candidate in defensive mode which doesnt help in getting out the best of him...so even the interviewer need to be a little mild though strong on wat he is looking for in the candidate and not aggressive...
