5th March 2011.
N.I.T Kurukshetra awaited The Royal Bank of Scotland to hire interns. One of the employees to form the interview panel was yours truly.
It feels just out of this world to go back to your Alma mater as a fortune 'maker'. Although I had experienced it on 16th Sep. 2010 also, when I came to recruit full time employees, but this time it was more pronounced and profound.
Owing allegiance to your college and organisation
This is the most exciting part. You know in your heart that it is the place that made you what you are today. You want to select every student of your college and make their careers. Then comes Mr Henry Fayol, shrieking with his theory of subordinating personal interests over organisational interests. The critic in you has to come out and eliminate more than half of your own college juniors.
Still its people who are fresh out of college and go for recruitment that can give valuable feedback on the employability of the students. Simply because they give a damn. One observation though, people need to be more thorough with their interview preparations. Its their sheer bad luck and the company's good luck that the most recent batch of alumni came. Please do away with bogus entries on your resumes! Being on the other side of the table it is very easy to see through every sham and charade. So by eliminating such contenders you tend to profit your organisation.
Some suggestions to students reading this
Don't ever stop enriching yourself. That humble bit of knowledge that you thought was unnecessary may turn out to be the highlight of your interview.
The daily newspaper is not enough. The subjects are also not enough. Keep reading everything and anything. Attend as many speaking and discussion sessions you can. They help every time.
Hoping to come back soon again to the campus of the B.O.K and the land of Mahabharata.
Enough gyaan, goodnight.
