Interviewer: 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 guess 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.
As you can see I am modest and don't have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?
