DG - The Success Story

Oh may be I have never discussed here that my code name DG :), given by my friends in college. So yesterday, 9th of August was a day on which I wrote my success story, the story of the glory!!

Yesterday, the company, of which I have not talked about ever on this blog, Cisco Systems came to our college for placements. Cisco systems is a well known networking solutions company. It was providing a whooping package of 7.1 Lcs. So it began...

The start of the day was really horrifying, 211 people fighting to get in Cisco. And the written test was still horrifying, coz it had no programming questions, but all electronics and communications related. I gave the paper and expecting a negative response for me, i went to hostel to relax... but as soon as the result was declared, my friend called me up, saying "u've cleared it"...

Well I was in a shock, i went to the placement cell, completely formally dressed. Well after that there was a small 10 mins written test - a mini essay on root cause for terrorism. That was easy, but as soon as it end, started was a long long wait for interview.I had to wait for 3.5 hours before I was actually called for interview. The interview was almost like a viva voice that we give in our practical exams. The only difference was that the interviewer asked me 4 times my favorite subjects. So I moved Web technologies to Programming, DS and at last networking. He asked me everything ranging from these topics to OS and Microprocessors.

The interview went fine... but then we had to wait for an HR interview also. While we were waiting i got a placed at another place also. I got a call from Nagarro where I had given an interview 2 days back. I got selected in that too. Later I was called for the HR interview. Well it was like a cake walk, just an informal talk. After waiting for 2 more hours for result, they announced the results and helped me write my success story.

So yesterday was probably my lucky day, I got 2 jobs in a single day. The success in placements so far is 100%, coz i have only applied for these 2 jobs.
