SAP FICO ( EPISODE - 14 )

Chaitanya: - How was your interview, yesterday?

Sarita: - Ya, I have cleared the first round. They will call me for the second round of interview next week. The first round was HR round. The second round will be technical round, followed by a psychometric test and a final client interview.

Suhash: - What about you, Manoj?

Manoj: - Yeah, I have also cleared the first round.

Arindam: - What questions they asked to you people in the HR interview?

Sarita: - Oh! Those questions were just bullshits. That old lady HR manager was full of craps in her head. She was asking some foolish questions. She asked, ‘Why are you looking for a job?’ She also asked, ‘You are unmarried, so, why are you expecting a salary of 2.4 lacs INR per annum?’ and the most idiotic question she asked, ‘Why you did your MBA in Finance and wasted 2 valuable years after graduating from a reputed college with a B.Com degree?’ I as fully fed up by that lady. She kept on asking those craps for half an hour. Thank God, at least, she selected me.

Ravi: - See, basically, HR managers do not have any domain knowledge or expertise in technical or functional domain. So, it is evident that they will ask some irrelevant questions to do time-pass with you in the interview round. They will just see how you communicate, how are you dressed, how desperate are you for that particular job and how much smartness you have. Therefore, in front of an HR Manager, there is no value of your domain knowledge and don’t waste your time in showing your technical or functional expertise. Just tactfully keep on oiling and buttering that HR manager. At the end of the day, the job is yours only. That is why; you will see many college students who don’t have good domain knowledge get the job very easily, whereas the brilliant and meritorious students are yet to crack jobs in their campus placement.

Sarita: - Ya, ya, I know that. That’s why; I just kept my cool and pretended in front of that lady HR manager that whatever bullshits she is speaking out is absolutely right. She can never say anything wrong.

Arindam: - Ha ha ha…I think that I need to learn some tactics from you people on how to deal with those uneducated and egoistic HR managers.

Manoj: - Anytime, Arindam. We are always eager to help you out. I am also planning to start a consultancy firm, where I will counsel the jobseekers on how to butter the HR managers. Boley toh, ekdum makhhan maarkey aaney ka, kya.

Paul: - Hey Arindam, Rinky is calling you. She is standing there at the Tiffin center.

Arindam: - Uff, after every class, she feels hungry. Jab dekho, tab dahi vada khaati rahati hain. Anyway, guys, see you tomorrow in the class.

******************

Rinky: - I called you for 5 times. Can’t you hear me? Or, are you ignoring me nowadays?

Arindam: - Uuh…you are pretending as if you were calling your boyfriend. I was busy in a very important discussion. I was learning some good interview tips from Sarita. Do you have any problem in that?

Rinky: - I can give you better tips of interview than Sarita. Sarita studies in our college. I know her far better than you. She bluffs a lot. Don’t believe in her words.

Arindam: - Hmm…Yesterday, she told to everyone that you have a boyfriend. His name is Govinda, right?

Rinky: - Sarita has told that thing. Wait, I will talk to her. It is a big lie. Govinda is my friend only. Not only have that, he is my cousin brother also in terms of far-distant relation. That is, he is the son of my mom’s far-distant maternal brother.

Arindam: - That hardly matters. In South India, a girl gets married to even her own maternal uncle. Govinda toh sirf tumhari door ka ristheydaar hain.

Rinky: - Now, stop pulling my legs and concentrate on eating the dahi vadaa.
