Last week I attended a job interview. The wierd company made me give a written test in the first round. I so wanted to say "Duh!" and leave , but yeah, I had to behave myself. I thought the test was a disaster( well, for a change I have to agree that am well past that age of sitting and writing exams!). The HR lady asked me to wait till she corrected my answer sheet. I was hardly tensed, as I knew how I gave that. When the HR came back and told me that I cleared the written test round, I blurted out "Really?" followed by a stupid grin !! Mistake number 1! I wish I had learnt better techniques of masking emotions!
Then the tech interview round 1, I was asked to write a program and while thinking, I was playing with the pen so hard that the cap flew and hit the glass wall. Mistake number 2! Why would anyone have a person as clumsy as that as their lead? but surprise!! I cleared that round too!
Cut to tech round 2.. I was careful this time not to make any mistakes, may be I just tried too hard, they never got back to me after that!
lesson learnt: be yourself how much ever clumsy you are.. the moment you try to be someone else, you will be shown the door :)
