I recently realized how ironic my life is :)
Recently, I visited one interview......
Which made m realized how much i am forgetting.. *lots*
Okay to start wid...
When we first came to bangalore, I never dreamt of joining a call centre *such work were beneath me*
LOL! if only i knew my future...
I used to accompany my sister for interviews for both support and company.. we were 2 girls in strange city with no experience... when no calls from IT industry came, I decided to try my luck here.. u see i was getting frustrated being home all the time...
I was so confident that I will get in... Thats when I got a rude awakening.. I was rejected for my accent which was absurd :
however, I did get through in my 3rd interview and for a pretty good process..
The days were same borin repitation and i wasnt satisfied... after quiting job and 3 months wid no job offer.. I decided to try back in the industry where i performed really well
*many appreciation emails and compliments wherein customers thought i was american.. etc etc * I was sure i will get through
I did too in all the rounds but HR... where they found me over qualified for the job....
after rejection in 5 companies for being over qualified, I got through this company.. been here for an year now.. looking to move on..
So.. few weeks back I gave one interview..
and I was offered an alternative job coz.. i am not qualified enough.. which I agree to given my dismal performance..
but still life brought me back to same juncture...
earlier i wasnt qualified enuf.. then i was over qualified now back to under qualified!
*phew*

honey.. the person who rejected me for my accent was 2 years back.. now evidentlaly am really good at it.. after 1 n half years of exp.. i better b :P
the new person who rejected me.. werll it was due to my technical knowledge...
So i completely agree wid their decision.. they really were good at what they did.. n i obviously lacked the knowhow...
the company i interviewed for.. is one of the best in its field...
Over qualified and now NOT qualified enough :O
Do you need a shootgun for next interview? I suggest you take one with you.
