"First job offer"

Thought of just putting down my memories of certain incidents and changes in my life.

Job searching/hunting or even jobs collecting was fun and in the same time very stressfull…..

Since there were no campus placements in my college I just waited for my final sem exams to get over. And then I started searching.

It wud have been just a week after my exams tat we had an opportunity to write for “US Technologies “ .

We had tied up with Offcampus pool program with Saptagiri college and HKBK college .
So whenever the criteria matches i.e 65% above candidates or some similar criteria we wud get a call from the placement officers of tat college.


US Technologies placement was held on 19 and 20 th of june…. We just finished our project exam on june 13 and were relaxing and stuff ….

When we heard abt this placement with great difficulties we tried to read RS Aggarwal and other aptitude books.

The day arrived… I made friends with students from different branches of engg to in my college. Got close to Sowmya & Nadeem of EC.
And since my last sem class was combined with CS . we IS students got to make friends with CS ppl too…

Some of my close friends in CS were Praveen Srivastava, Divya Lok Suman,Wishi Aggarwal. And in IS , prathibha.

We usually meet up in shivajinagar at 8 am and then go together for the respective college.

We reached saptagiri college around 9 am and then waited for so long until the US.T ppl arrived.
Their flight reached ontime, but the banglore traffic delayed them .
They came around 2 pm. And started with intro an stuff.

We had our written Aptitude test that day which consisted of RS Aggarwal kind of qs it was pretty interesting and tricky….

After much delay we got to know tat we were selected and were supposed to come the next day i.e 20 th for the Group discuusion.

We leftthe college around 8 tat day and were asked to report in the morning 9 am next day… we hardly had time to relax…

Our GD started and sowmya went first has she was in group 2 . she dint make it….

Then next I went and I got thru it was fun… we had two topics it was fun…
Praveen got thru too….

Tehn we were sent to HR + tech round my HR was a lady…. She asked few tech qs.
She gave me two puzzles to solve it was fun..

She was dazed abt my other activities of MS and she was asking abt it a lot….

And then at 6 pm we got to know tat I was thru….

This was my First placement or Job .

Was quite happy abt it,, apart from the fact tat I had to goto Trivandrum for the job.

From my college it was me, Praveen, amit, aatif, and few more totally 7 i guess.

UST was a good company CMM level 5 company but I had to leave Bangalore which was very tuff for me…….


This was my First job offer. :)
