My most memorable job interview / 我最难忘的工作面试

Let me introduce to all by telling my successful story

让我向大家介绍一下我的成功故事

It happened during the final year of my engineering degree. Placement season had started and all the dream companies had started looking for some fresh “meat” in our campus. There were 3 esteemed companies which came every year and hired the most number of students, say 20–30 in one go. (TCS, Infosys and bulk hiring companies never used to visit our campus.)

它发生在我的工程学位的最后一年。安置季节已经开始，所有梦想中的公司都开始在校园里寻找新鲜的“肉”。每年有3家受到尊重的公司，雇用了最多的学生，一次性说20-30。 （TCS，Infosys和散装招聘公司从未曾经访问过我们的校园。）

Out of these 3 esteemed companies, I was already placed in 2 of them and hence, there was a lot of pressure on me to not attempt for 3rd company. But I convinced my TPO to at least let me help other students in clearing their written round. It so happened that day that even though my friend’s answer matched with mine, they selected me for technical interview and not them. I was shocked and didn’t know how to face my friends or my TPO.

在这3家受尊敬的公司中，我已经被安置在其中2家，因此对我来说，不要再为第三家公司施加压力。但我相信我的TPO至少让我帮助其他学生清理他们的写作。那天呢发生了，即使我的朋友的答案和我的一致，他们选择了我进行技术面试，而不是他们。我很震惊，不知道如何面对我的朋友或我的TPO。

Not just this, I was really not in a mood to stay for the interview as well. I was having a bad phase, I broke up with my then boyfriend recently who was in the same college and things were getting pretty complicated and messy on that day. We had a big fight a few minutes before the written and then he came to congratulate me and tell me that I should got for technical interview but who was he to tell me this. I was in my own ego. So I rather consulted a trustworthy faculty who advised me to go for interview and tell them clearly that you are selected in 2 companies already.

不仅如此，我真的没有心情留下面试。我正处于一个糟糕的阶段，最近我和当时的女朋友分手了，他在同一所大学里，当天的事情变得非常复杂和凌乱。我们在写了几分钟之前就打了一场大战，然后她来恭喜我告诉我，我应该接受技术面试，但是她是谁告诉我的。我在我自己的自我。所以我更倾向于咨询一位值得信赖的教师，他建议我去面试，并清楚地告诉他们你已经在2家公司中被选中。

I did the same thing. I was the last candidate to be interviewed. I went in and as soon as he asked me, “Tell me about myself”, I told him that I have been selected in 2 companies and their package is more than that of your’s. I will definitely go for that one. I told him every reason as to why I even attempted written round and all. Unfortunately, none of this seemed to work because he started liking my honesty. So he told me to solve a fun puzzle. It was a pretty complicated one and I was hearing it for the first time. So I though, “Ok, what the heck. I will not solve it. I will quit in between and then he will not select me.“

我做同样的事情我是接受访问的最后候选人。我进去了，一问他问我“告诉我自己”，我告诉他，我已经被选中了2家公司，其包裹比你的要高。我一定会去那个。我告诉他，为什么我甚至试图写下所有的一切理由。不幸的是，由于他开始喜欢我的诚实，所以似乎都不行。所以他告诉我要解决一个有趣的难题。这是一个非常复杂的，我第一次听到它。所以我尽管说：“好的，怎么了我不会解决的。我会在之间退出，然后他就不会选我了。“

For the next few minutes, I told him some 3 or 4 times, “I don’t know what to do next. I don’t think I will be able to solve this.” Each time, he only smiled and gave me one hint and told me to proceed. He kept on helping me until I finished solving it. He then asked me to evaluate my own performance. I was frustrated by then and so I told almost rudely, “I could have done better.”

在接下来的几分钟里，我告诉他三到四次，“我不知道下一步该怎么做。我不认为我能解决这个问题。“每次，他只是笑了起来，给了我一个提示，并告诉我要继续。他一直在帮助我，直到我解决它。然后他要求我评估自己的表现。那时我感到很沮丧，所以我几乎无礼地说：“我可以做得更好。”

He simply smiled and told, “My dear, you are the first candidate who has solved this today and that also in a record 11 minutes. Since the time you started, I observed your approach and I was hopeful that you would do it.”

他只是笑着说：“亲爱的，你是今天解决这个问题的第一个候选人，也是11分钟的记录。从你开始的时候开始，我注意到你的做法，我希望你会这样做。“

I was surprised and was wondering what to say next. I had tried to fail in the entire interview and yet this man never gave up on me. He continued, “I don’t care which company you join, but from my side, I really want you to join us. It will be fun. You are up for the HR interview. You can leave now.”

我很惊讶，想知道下一步该说什么。我在整个采访中试图失败，但这个人从来没有放弃我。他继续说，“我不在乎你加入哪个公司，但从我身边我真的希望你加入我们。应该会很好玩。你接受了人力资源采访。你现在可以离开了。“

I thanked him and got up to leave when he called out my name. I turned back to look at him and said, “Yes Sir?”.

当他打电话给我的时候，我感谢他离开了。我回头看着他说：“是先生？”

He said, “You know what? Congratulations and Welcome to the company. I know you will clear the HR round easily.”

他说：“你知道吗恭喜，欢迎来到公司。我知道你会很容易地清除人力资源。“

What I later noticed was that he had written some very kind words on his copy of my Resume. When they select someone, they give the same copy to the next interviewer and so on! So he knew that HR will already have a look before he will start interviewing me.

我后来注意到，他在他的简历的副本上写了一些非常客气的话。当他们选择某人时，他们会给下一个面试官一样的副本，等等！所以他知道人力资源部门已经看了一下他会开始面试我

Upto now I never stopped reaching my goals
