Keep trying until you succeed
Date: 27-Jan-2011
Hi friends !!
After a long struggle of nearly 2 years I have got an offer from a good software company i.e Syntel to join as Junior Software trainee. I thank GOD for giving me this great opportunity, after a very bad struggle which includes nearly 46 companies (some I forgot to update my database. must be more than 50.
In some I cleared test and failed in Interview.. Some all cleared but still didn’t get through,. I was not able to find out what went wrong. In some cases my friends who copied from me even cleared the tests and got through.
later i got a call letter for test at St.josephs college on Friday nearly 500people appeared for the test of which only 40 got selected and next round was on Saturday ,they asked us to come at 8.30 sharp. But my Hr interview was at 11.30pm and they told me to wait for 15 mins after which I had my Technical interview at 5.45pm.
The time I spent there was so tough and I don’t have words to describe ..
The technical panel focussed me on Cobol and DB2.. I answered them and he was satisfied and asked me "what is your %?"
I told "82%" for which he replied that i was very unlucky that no one took me .. But i thought "Thank god no one took me else I wud have missed this opportunity to work @ syntel”.. I was the 2nd last person to go and cleared the panel.. Finally they shortlisted around 32 people ..
I was telling all my friends that just 2 more months for 2005 to be passed out and after which batch 2003 wont be considered .. I was telling that this is my final Countdown and if i get through well and good else I planned to do MBA!! But by God's grace I got it!! I am very happy that I got this offer with my talent and God's grace and not with any other source, which u guys know very well!!
Friends this is my story to make you all understand how you should be confident and if u plan something "Keep trying until you succeed"
cheers!!!
