My First Interview



Hey it’s time for me to share my 1st interview experience with u all..
Actually it was the 3rd
 company which came to our college for conducting On Campus Placements , I failed to make it up in Infosys & Mphasis, but dis time it’s Persistent with 3.55Lhigher pay than da former companiesI should say dis was da company where I cleared Written test for da 1st time.
The interview involves a Written Test, 2 Tech rounds & finally a HR round. I was in 46 who are shortlisted for next round i.e.,Technical round out of 281 who appeared for da Written test. Though Technical round lasted for long ,it went like a cake walk for me. I could impress dem with all dat I’ve & all I could perform up on. My confidence levels raised after completing my tech round. Then I heard 25 candidates were shortlisted  to attend da 2nd Tech round. Also I was in top 3 candidates who performed well in 1st Tech round & we were sent directly to face HR round. The other 22 have gone through 2nd Tech round as well. 

Total 12/25 were finally shortlisted for HR round, out of which 10 are CS candidates & 2 non-CS candidates. The HR team went on discussions to take only 1 Non-CS candidate finally for Testing side.I was jumping high with lot of confidence & self-esteem . I thought HR round will be another cake walk for me .But I realized how psychos da HRs will be , after facing my first ever HR round. He had completely kept me low & I could hardly utter a word against him. Suddenly my confidence levels were completely made low.
  I had no hopes dat I could be placed in dat company after attending da HR round. 

As I said, I cud not make it in d Final List of 8 selected for PERSISTENT.I knew it pretty well bcoz if I’m very confident about something, I’ll surely get it & if not, den I will never get it whatsoever may be da situation. I’m a strong believer of dis. But, I'm happy for my frnds n collegemates who are in da "Final 8"..


No worries..it gave me Experience how to face Technical interviews & psycho HRs as i heard it was 1 of da Toughest Interviews & moreover, it gave me a new set of frnds in da Final year..I’m happy for it at da end :)

POP - Pinnacle of the pearl


Hello everyone, I’m Rahul, pursuing my B.Tech final year in CVR College of Engineering. It’s my privilege to say that I’m a member of O.Y.S.T.E.R family. Yeah, you heard it right, it’s O.Y.S.T.E.R family ,that is how we feel when we are at our meetings and gatherings. I have found O.Y.S.T.E.R through Facebook. Hey facebook, I really owe you so big.

Actually I had a dream of starting a social activities organization for which I had prepared everything, but due to some disturbances, I could not start it anyway. But I was waiting for some NGOs to join in and work along with them which atleast give me a satisfaction that I’m going to fulfill my dream. Fortunately, I then found O.Y.S.T.E.R in Facebook. I really felt much delighted after  going through the O.Y.S.T.E.R’s works,contributions and all. Then I’ve firmly decided to be a part of O.Y.S.T.E.R. and here I’m.

I never felt lonely when I’m with O.Y.S.T.E.R. It has given me a new set of friends whom I can cherish for lifetime.When I attended the first event of O.Y.S.T.E.R called “RTI(Right To Information) Act Awareness Program” , I felt a bit lonely for sometime as I was new to everyone over there. But very soon, the things have become very easy and all of the colleagues of O.Y.S.T.E.R moved in a very friendly way and I was explained about our future projects and all. I was really much delighted to hear about the scope and vision of O.Y.S.T.E.R. On that day, I heartfully thanked God for making me a part of this family. Thank you O.Y.S.T.E.R.
I would like to dedicate the following lines to all my colleagues of O.Y.S.T.E.R:
" We are too near,
Yet the distance between us is so clear
Mistakes may sometimes be so mere,
But the affection we hold, always go dear

Let us make our hearts come near,
so as to see India without a single tear."
