Memoirs of my 'sakshaatkaar' experiences

An interview or a साक्षात्कार is wiely accepted as a useful tool to evaluate a person to check the suitability to fit him/her into a role, it could be for recruiting, for assigning a role, for admission, promotion, etc.

I have been subjected to interviews right form childhood, from one of the first schools i joined and then the saga continues for getting into clubs, societies, college, first job interviews in campus, off campus, MBA, again student council, Placement process, all these experiences leave many scars behind but do make u battle hardened to take on the next one with ease.

But what sticks to u as a stain that even surf excel can't remove are the goof ups, every new experience comes with its own share and reflecting back u tend to think how silly of me, if only i had not done this...

I still remember my first interview for entering Class 1 in KV Sec 47 Chandigarh.

My dad had told me to finish it and come soon as he had to drop me home and go to the office.

All the other students sat down but I did not, despite being repeatedly asked to by the concerned teachers. I told them flat out I have to leave fast, so get it done with. Imagine a less than 5 yr old, dictating u terms of his own capture. They let me stand till god know when and then interviewed me as per the schedule and then I got a thrashing from my dad as well, but it was an interview to remember.

I bore the scars of my first encounter and leaped from pedestal to pedestal till giving interviews almost became 2nd nature to me.
You learn a lot by taking interviews than giving and that experience i had at SIBM while conducting mock interviews for our juniors, very enlightening experience I must say.
Anyways the most recent interview got me a naukri at Deloitte, hope it works out well
