The first company did choose me for the final interview. However, small things -
how the ppt presentation was made, how the man talked proudly about not having
time for his family.. it all came out in the interview. I walked out knowing
that I did not make it, and I was happy that I did not.
And what made her choose another:
The last one. No seniors here, no batchmates so far. Nobody knows anything
about them. I have not attended their ppt. My friends who are going for the
interview have not pegged it high.
I liked the lady, the way she talked, and the fact that her hair was
streaked. I made a mental note to streak likewise as soon as the process gets
over. It was more like talking to an elder cousin, discussing life and work. And
I discovered to my mortification that even though they deal with technology,
they are very much an FMCG.
Neat post..and a very nice blog
ReplyDeleteSo this is the 'blink' method of choosing an employer.. but from does it work ? Is one nice lady representative of the whole company and its culture ? And if this is how b schoolers choose jobs, how does HR handle the process effectively ? Perhaps you have some insight to share on that. Lastly where does the salary package fit in all this. Company 1 - if they upped their package by 10-20% would the misgivings about it suddenly disappear? Does the fact that the writer is a woman have any bearing on the decision being more from the heart than the head ?
