It was a pleasant morning until she got a call from one of those non-existing classmates about her selection in the 2nd round of Microsoft. "Shraddha! Jaldi aao.....the test will be starting any minute", called the voice on the other side of phone leaving her aghast and clueless for she never comprehended in seven heavens that her name would be listed for 2nd round!
The Placement season is HERE in NIT Durgapur and the buzz never stops about those lucky souls that got placed in MNCs or about the prospective people for the next rounds. Companies keep coming and the senior-junior relation just gets closer. "which company are you sitting for? what kind of job profile are you looking forward to?" are few of those conversation-starters among the janta of NIT-D whereas the rather avoidable question for everybody in final year is mostly regarding the status of their placement.
Meanwhile, Laasya is busy biting her nails whether her online test for a certain finance company has got her through or not......thus making herself and her friends' circle anxious about the result. And when the result is announced, she climbs upto 7th heaven and quickly returns back to reality to brace herself for the upcoming obstacles, the most venerable test being "Group-Discussion Round".
While there are most people who have no idea what to speak when the topic of GD round is announced, few flaunt of their soft-skills and eventually stumble out for being too flashy and over-communicative or jumpy in such rounds. Well, its a known fact that managerial skills are tested in such rounds and the last thing you would want to do is project yourself and only yourself on the screen leaving the group behind!
What to say of the dreaded H-R round which has had many a victim although they passed successfully through the first few rounds, the Technical, the Aptitude, the Reasoning test. But finally, you've got to have that one streak that no one has and wins you a ticket to the company placement!
So, here am I, typing off the cliche details of the Placement season, finding bliss in typing on my friend's laptop( the keyboard is too god! Thanks a lot Sravani!), and relieving the so-called stress. I shall now end my opinion here, for i have a company placement test tomorrow!
Wish me luck guys! Hope i get the golden ticket!
