An Interview Story

Hello Friends!!!

This is another interview story with an IT Company. I am in IT industry from last 3 years and i insinuated from my previous interviews is no matter how much you studied at some point of time you should know to fool an interviewer. Another way is the Flow and Control technology where you give a flow to answer such a way that interviewer should ask what you want him to ask.

In my case the interview generally gone smoothly as for me it was a cake walk. The first round generally happens to be face to face but in this company the interviewer could not make to come to venue so it happend to be a TC (tele conference). I used the technic of Flow and Control and also Ambiguity in answers. When ever i get a Question i used to understand it first and if i know i dont know anything about it i used the Ambiguity in answers. It's a great technique as it confused the interviewer and in meantime i pushed the flow to my strong areas. So this works!!! Finally i got selected in the Tech interview... Bingo...

Now i had to attend a project manger review round. I din't find this round as a necessary one. It was just an scanning round where he tried to know why i want to quit my old company which is @ No:1 now. I told him it's the money. He smiled as i guess he didn't expect such a straight answer.

Finally it was the HR round which was more interesting. He used the Friend and Foe technique. Where he acted as a very friendly to me but company as a Foe. He told me lots of -ve points about his company to check my knowledge about this company. something Like we put b'ful slides to attract candidates , Our PM gives a tuff work to associates. I almost disagreed on all the point. Finally he asked how much money i want. I told him my expectation. But he said it's too much he can't. He acted like i am asking too much. I smiled and walk away. Finally he called me and told he is okie with salary and willing to release the offer letter. So another success.

But did i join..... No i din't... Why ??? I was not satisfied with Technical person interview... I always think a person can be evaluated much better by a face to face interview than TC. So if you want to hire a great talent try to make your self present for face to face IV.
