Tell me about yourself.
Candidate: I am Rameshwar Kulkarni. I did my Tele
Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of
Technology.
Interviewer: BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of
Technology? I had never heard of this college before!
Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it
before getting an admission into it . What happened is - due to cricket world
cup I scored badly! in 12th.I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my
father said (I prefer to call him 'baap') - "I can not invest so much of
money".(The baap actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on
you"). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name - BabanRao
Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari
Mahavidyalaya.
Interviewer:
ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your
engineering.
Candidate: Actually I tried my best to finish it
in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and
tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd
and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.
Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.
Candidate:
Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in
mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot. I
think they should ban it.
Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket
matches to be banned.
Candidate:
No, no... I am talking about Exams!!
Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement
in life?
Candidate:
Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it.
In fact, when i flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST
(Bus corporation in Maharashtra ) through some relative.
Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher
study?
Candidate:
he he he.. Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education itself was so much of
pain!!
Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On
which platforms have you worked?
Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say
Andheri is my current platform. Earlier I was at Vashi center. So Vashi was my
platform then. As you can see I have experience of different
platforms!
(Vashi and Andheri are the places in Mumbai)
Interviewer: And which languages have you
used?
Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I
can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and many other
languages.
Interviewer: Why VC is better than VB?
Candidate: It is a common sense - C comes after B. So VC is
a higher version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up with a new
language VD!
Interviewer:
Do you know anything about Assembly Language?
Candidate:
Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the language our ministers
and MPs use in assembly.
Interviewer: What is your general project
experience?
Candidate:
My general experience about projects is - most of the times they are in
pipeline!
Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current
job?
Candidate:
Sure, Currently I am working for Bata InfoTech ltd. Since joining BIL, I am on
Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that Bench was another software like
Windows.
Interviewer: Do you have any project management
experience?
Candidate:
No, but I gues! s it shouldn't be difficult. I know Word and Excel. I can talk a
lot. I know how to dial for International
phone call and use speaker
facility. And very important - I know few words like - 'Showstoppers ' ,
'hotfixes', 'SEI- CMM','quality','versioncontrol','deadlines' , 'Customer
Satisfaction'etc. Also I can blame others for
my mistakes!
Interviewer: What are your expectations from our
company?
Candidate: Not much.
1. I should at least get
40,000 in hand.
2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should
not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural
talent.
3. I believe in flexi-timings.
4. Dress code is against basic
freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.
5. We must have sat-sun
off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to
overwork.
6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term
preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe
. But considering the fact that there is a world cup in West Indies in 2007, I
don't mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and don't have
many expectations. So can I assume my selection?
Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your
interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much
before.
