HIT THE BULL’S EYE“10 TIPS TO CRACK ACAMPUS INTERVIEW”

Campus interviews are the mostimportant part of a student’s life. Assoon as the graduation time nearsyou, your focus is shifted to theinterview preparation as much it is onthe final exams. Your chances ofsuccess at the interview, determinesyour career whereby getting a goodbreak at campus eases the wayahead. Below is a list of top 10 tips tonote, while preparing for yourcampus interview:

Probe the nature of the campusinterview: It may not be possible foryou to find out the exact reason of theinterview. Whether the recruiters arelooking out for a suitable candidatefor their open positions or are merelyfishing for good resumes. But onceyou are inside the interview, you canask the interviewers if they havesome specific vacancies that they arerecruiting for. Thereafter you canaccordingly decide on the level ofefforts to put in there.

Research the company: It’sadvisable to know the company wellbefore appearing for its interview.Being aware of the latest news anddevelopments related to thecompany, you can easily ace theinterviewer’s interest.

Use the career fair platforms: Apartfrom attending your own college’scareer/job fair programs andseminars, do attend these at othercolleges’ as well. Thereby you mayearn a chance of interacting with thecompanies that have not turned up inyour college and thus get yourselfsome more opportunities.

Prepare a 5 minute short summaryof your project/internship: Yourproject and internship showcasesyour skills and exposure that you had.But in the course of interview youcannot describe it all, so it’s better tomake a brief list of the major pointsyou would like to highlight.

Be prepared for GD and PI: Incampus interviews, companiesbasically take a first round of GroupDiscussion, to spot the initiators withleadership skills. Having screenedfrom there, Personal Interviews aretaken to more precisely evaluate thecandidate’s skills. So you will have toprepare well for both separately.

Prepare for the behavioralquestions: Behavioral questionsmostly are open ended and they aremeant to know your experience andapplication related competencies.These questions intend to put forthyour real self. Such questions could belike “Tell us about how did you use tohandle your exam pressure”, or howdid you manage to do this projectwhile attending full day college”.

Wear formal attire: Interview is ahighly professional interaction and dofollow the etiquette. Wear a formalmatching the requirement of thesituation, even if the company has aninformal dress code for its employees.

Admit mistakes or if you don’t knowthe answer to a question: Instead ofgiving wrong answers and making abad impression, admit that you don’tknow the answer or accept yourmistake. Be honest and you will beappreciated.

Be confident and enthusiastic: Beenergetic and enthusiastic once youare inside the interview room, anddon’t let you anxieties and

nervousness be seen. Remember youare being observed, so be relaxed,calm and confident.

Don’t lose courage easily: Don’t loseyou courage and heart soon, even ifthe interview is taking too long andthere is no job offer yet rolled out.Because if you will start doubting yourpotential, your nervousness couldoverpower your best qualities andyou may lose, though you are eligible.

Selected inRelianceIndustries

Being placed through a campus driveand having a job letter beforecompletion of one’s engineering isalways an achievement and alsorelieves you from a post engineeringpressure.

After hearing that, Reliance - secondmost profitable company in India isarriving for campus drive and that toowith a package of 6 LPA, I was reallyexcited about it. So, I first started torevise aptitude concepts andformula.

Several lectures, mock tests andinterview were conducted by ourcollege. These sessions helpscandidates very much and one doesnot feel nervous at the time ofinterview. So, when I finally went fortechnical interview and HR interviewafter clearing the written test, itseemed that I have passed throughthis situation many times and so I wasvery relaxed.

Another thing I would like to share isabout the selection procedure ofreliance campus drive. First, thestudents are shortlisted according tocompany’s CGPA or CPI criteria.These shortlisted students appear foraptitude test (30 questions,30

minutes) and technical test (50questions,30 minutes).The studentswho cleared these tests are finallycalled for technical and HRinterviews.

Lastly, I would like to thankTraining & Placement Cell, H.O.DProf. Dharmesh Pandya sir, Prof.Pratik Munjani sir and all faculties &Staff of Electrical EngineeringDepartment to help, support andencourage me.

CAMPFIREMOTIVATIONAL STORY

“Appreciation of HardWork”

One young academically excellentperson went to apply for amanagerial position in a bigcompany. He passed the firstinterview, the director did the lastinterview, made the last decision.The director discovered from the CVthat the youth’s academicachievements were excellent all theway, from the secondary school untilthe postgraduate research, never hada year when he did not score.

The director asked, “Did you obtainany scholarships in school?” Theyouth answered “none”.

The director asked, “Was it yourfather who paid for your school fees?”The youth answered, “My fatherpassed away when I was one year old,it was my mother who paid for myschool fees”.

The director asked, “Where did yourmother work?” The youth answered,“My mother worked as clothescleaner. The director requested theyouth to show his hands. The youthshowed a pair of hands that weresmooth and perfect”.

The director asked, “Have you everhelped your mother wash the clothes

before?” The youth answered,“Never, my mother always wantedme to study and read more books.Furthermore, my mother can washclothes faster than me”.

The director said, “I have a request.When you go back today, go andclean your mother’s hands, and thensee me tomorrow morning”.

The youth felt that his chance oflanding the job was high. When hewent back, he happily requested hismother to let him clean her hands.His mother felt strange, happy butwith mixed feelings, she showed herhands to the kid. The youth cleanedhis mother’s hands slowly. His tearfell as he did that. It was the first timehe noticed that his mother’s handswere so wrinkled, and there were somany bruises in her hands. Somebruises were so painful that hismother shivered when they werecleaned with water.

This was the first time the youthrealized that it was this pair of handsthat washed the clothes every day toenable him to pay the school fee. Thebruises in the mother’s hands werethe price that the mother had to payfor his graduation, academicexcellence and his future. Afterfinishing the cleaning of his mother’shands, the youth quietly washed allthe remaining clothes for his mother.That night, mother and son talked fora very long time. Next morning, theyouth went to the director’s office.

The Director noticed the tears in theyouth’s eyes, asked: “Can you tell mewhat have you done and learnedyesterday in your house?” The youthanswered, “I cleaned my mother’shand, and also finished cleaning allthe remaining clothes”.

The Director asked, “Please tell meyour feelings”. The youth said,

“Number 1, I know now what isappreciation. Without my mother,there would not the successful metoday. Number 2, by workingtogether and helping my mother,only I now realize how difficult andtough it is to get something done.Number 3, I have come to appreciatethe importance and value of familyrelationship”.

The director said, “This is what I amlooking for to be my manager. I wantto recruit a person who canappreciate the help of others, aperson who knows the sufferings ofothers to get things done, and aperson who would not put money ashis only goal in life. You are hired”.Later on, this young person workedvery hard, and received the respect ofhis subordinates. Every employeeworked diligently and as a team. Thecompany’s performance improvedtremendously.

Moral: If one doesn’t understandand experience the difficulty ittakes to earn the comfort providedby their loved ones, than they willnever value it. The most importantthing is to experience the difficultyand learn to value hard work behindall the given comfort.

PANORAMA QUARTERLY | Issue5 10

India's booming informationtechnology industry already hiresmore than a million employees andthe numbers are set to grow manifoldover the years. Yet, the Indian ITsector, which has brought India onthe global map (far removed from theWest's perception of India being theland of diseases, poverty and snakecharmers), is still grappling with theissue of high-end and low-end jobsand seeking out ways to go up thevalue chain.

Here are the 10 myths and factsabout IT industry that you mustknow.

Myth #1: Company A has offeredmore salary than Company B, so itis better than Company B.

Fact: A bigger salary does not alwaysmean better job-satisfaction. Bigcompanies (with good cash flows)can afford to give more salaries thanother relatively mid-sized or smallcompanies or start-ups. Also somecompanies outsource loss-makingunits or less revenue-generatingproduct and maintenance work toIndia to cut costs, so job satisfactionfor someone more interested in workcontent than the money is going tofeel low.

For start-ups and small companies,salaries might not be very good, butthey might offer stock options orbonus to compensate for this. Alsowork content in these companiesmight be better than big companies.

Some venture capitalists in theUnited States, when looking to fundstart-ups, have begun to ask thosecompanies whether they have anIndia-specific plan. Since thesecompanies work on new/innovativeproducts, work content is likely to begood.

Myth #2: Let me join Company A. IfI don't like it, I will leave it and finda better job elsewhere.

Fact: Unless you are very clear aboutyour goals and ambition you will keepchanging jobs time and again. Thebest thing is to decide what you wantto do quite early on in your career.

However, this seems a daunting task.This is true for someone with lessthan 3-4 years' experience and has noidea about the industry and what onewants to do. In addition, most of thecompanies hiring from campuses donot decide in advance what projectthe selected candidates will beworking on. Later on, when works getassigned it does not match one'sambitions. Also, mostinstitutes/colleges put restriction onthe number of job offers one canaccept, so the selection of companiesis not by choice. However, if you havejoined a company that works onspecific areas that are not to yourliking then it is best to look out foranother.

It is quite difficult for the company tofind something that is specific to yourinterest, as it is beyond its scope.However, for you next job search, youshould clearly indicate to yourprospective employer that you arelooking to work in a specific area (it isadvisable to specialize in onedomain/work area) and whether thecompany does that kind of work andyou can be involved in that work. Donot put off asking this after joining asit would be too late by then. It is best

to give multiple interviews anddecide on the one that best matchesyour aspirations. Don't let salary bethe lone criterion when you makeyour decision.

Myth #3: InfoTech work is more of'a routine job.' No high-end workgets done in India.

Fact: This might be true in manycases, but the opportunities to workon challenging and complex projectsis increasing in India. Currently, veryfew companies (rough estimate: 10-15%) in India are doing this. If you arethe brainy type, seek out suchcompanies. Using the best brain to doroutine jobs can lead to job-dissatisfaction soon. Also, mostcompanies that launch theiroperations in India tend to give easyassignments in the beginning andyou might feel that the job content isquite simple. But the important partis that is once you finish the project tothe satisfaction of all stakeholders,the overseas management becomesconfident in offshoring morecomplex work.

If the management is not convinced,then you will continue to do the dailychore. So, the bottom line is that ifyour team delivers quality product ontime, you will get good work in thefuture.

Myth #4: Only product companiesdo exciting work.

Fact: The fact is that the typical workcontent in product companiesinvolves a mix of routine andchallenging tasks. In productcompanies, delivering a qualityproduct is of great importance and asa result a typical product releaseinvolves multiple rigorous testing andbug-fixing phase. This is a typicallymundane and repetitive task and notalways interesting. But it is important

DO YOU KNOW?“10 Myths & Factsabout Working in

Indian IT Industry”

PANORAMA QUARTERLY | Issue5 11

to understand that this is a criticaltask from company's perspective, asnobody would want to deliver abuggy product in the market and losecustomer confidence. So you cannotjust focus on design and coding, andignore testing and bug-fixing. Notonly this, you should be flexibleenough to work in any area whetheryou like it or not. You get bothexciting and non-exciting work in thelong run.

Myth #5: The Indian IT industrycannot offer the kind of jobrequirement I am looking for.

Fact: It requires a lot of effort toselect the company of your liking.With so many companies setting upshop in India, this has made thingseven more difficult. Don't follow theprinciple 'my friend is working there,so I should follow him/her.' Therequirement of your friend might bedifferent from yours and you shouldseek companies that meet yourrequirement. For experiencedpeople, it is best to go throughrecruiters and indicate your exactrequirement to them. If the recruiteris good, he will shortlist thecompanies that meet yourexpectations. If you find that therecruiter is not going by yourinterests, look for another recruiter.

Myth #6: I received a mail from aplacement service saying that thejob openings it has matches myprofile.

Fact: Most of therecruiters/placement services sendbulk mail to all and sundry. They donot scan resumes properly and justmatch keyword(s). Personally, I havereceived mails from recruiters, whosay that my profile matches the jobthey have on offer, but if I look at theopening it does not match at all.

It is best to clear this with therecruiter before you agree to appearfor an interview. This saves you theembarrassment of being on theground that your profile/experiencedoes not match the job profile. Mostcompanies rely heavily on recruitersfor non-fresher openings and if theydo not filter the candidate correctly,then most likely HR will not filter iteither and call you for an interview!

Myth #7: Working abroad is betterthan working in Indian companies.

Fact: This might not be always true. Ifyou are going to work as a consultantin the US, you might land up a worsejob than what you were doing inIndia. With the IT doom of 2000 thereis a very small pool of highly qualifiedprofessionals available in the US andthey normally get better jobs thanIndian consultants do.

Typically, in product companies,consultants are hired to do lesscritical work or work that can be doneeasily. If your expectation is to dohigh-end work, you will have to waitlonger to do it. It is a much betteroption to obtain a master's degreefrom top-rated university in the US tobag better jobs.

Product companies usually hire thebest brains from these universities todo the challenging work for them.Also the biggest advantage ofworking overseas is that you get towork with the best brains and learn alot from them. It typically takes 4-5years of overseas experience to get agood understanding of the overallexecution of software products.

Myth #8: Management ladder is amuch better option than technicalladder.

Fact: If you are the kind who loves tobe technical, look for an organization

that encourages career growth forcore technical work and pays salary atpar with management salary for thesame zone. The demand for seniortechnical and senior architectprofessionals will grow as more high-end, specialized work gets done inIndia. Some companies have bothmanagers and architects in the sameproject.

The manager takes care of the peopleand project execution, while thearchitect takes care of all technicalaspect of the project. For complexand large projects, it is not possiblefor the manager to wear, both, thetechnical and the managerial hats,and hence the need to hire architectsto take care of all technical aspects. Ifyou find the employer saying that youwill be doing 20 per centmanagement and 80 per centtechnical work, treat the statementwith caution. Most likely it might turnout to be the other way around!

Myth #9: I am working abroad. If Irelocate and work in India I won'tget the same job satisfaction.

Fact: This is no longer true. Thenature of the jobs done in India is asgood as that in the US or othercountries. The only difference is thatthe products that are futuristic innature are not so prevalent in theIndian IT industry. In addition, careergrowth in India is much better -- andfaster -- than overseas.

It can only hamperyour career in the long run.

Hope these tips would be helpful toyou.

The IEEE (Institute ofElectrical and ElectronicsEngineers) was formed in1963 by the merger of theInstitute of Radio Engineers(IRE, founded 1912) and theAmerican Institute ofElectrical Engineers (AIEE,founded 1884).

On December 12, 1901, aradio transmission receivedby Guglielmo Marconiresulted in the firsttransmission of atransatlantic wireless signal(Morse Code) from Poldhu,Cornwall, to St. John's,Newfoundland.

SPICE (Simulation Programwith Integrated CircuitEmphasis) was introduced inMay 1972 by the University ofBerkeley, California.

volatile erasable memory.Flash devices have a limitednumber of erase cycles(typically 10,000 to 1,000,000cycles) so they're not as gooda choice for applications inwhich the data changesconstantly. However, since ithas no moving parts (unlike ahard disk) it is an excellentchoice for storing theoperating code for smallpersonal electronics likePDAs, cell phones, digitalcameras, and the data initems like MP3 players.

David Filo & Jerry Yangdeveloped Yahoo

Alan Turing is largelyresponsible for breaking theGerman Enigma codes,created a test that provided afoundation for artificialintelligence

JVC (Japan VictorCorporation) and Matsushita(Panasonic) developed theVHS format to compete withSony which developed theBeta format as the first homevideo cassette recorder. VHSoriginally stood for VerticalHelical Scan, but now meansVideo Home System.

The HF band is based onfrequencies 3 to 30 Mhz. AMradio stations are in the HFband but normally are statedin kilohertz.

A collection of atoms ormolecules that can be excitedto a higher energy state iscalled an active medium.Before lasing can occur, theactive media is "pumped".The process of raising theatoms in the active mediafrom a lower energy state toa higher state is like pumpingwater up from a well.

A given signal's secondharmonic is twice the givensignal's fundamentalfrequency. Harmonics aregenerated when there arenon-linearities in an amplifier(there are always non-linearities). The worse thenon-linearities, the moreharmonics. A signal at 27.5MHz (approximate frequencyfor US citizen's band) wouldhave a second harmonic at55.0 MHz (on US channel 2!).Can you see why there mightbe problems? A CB operatormight do well to place a low-pass filter on his radio.

MIDI(Musical InstrumentDigital Interface) wasintroduced in 1983

"Noise figure" is one criticalparameter for determiningthe "quality" of a low-noise,small-signal, amplifier, andperhaps more importantly,the sensitivity of the overallreceiver system. It is

especially important for VHF(very high frequency) - andhigher frequency - designswhere most of the undesired"noise" (noise that masks oroverpowers the desiredsignals) is generated internalto the electronics itself. In HF(high frequency)applications, atmosphericnoise plays a much larger rolein determining overall usefulsensitivity, so a circuit's"noise figure" is lessimportant.

CDs reproduce 44,100samples per second. Whichhas a maximum frequencyreproduction of 22,050 Hz, orjust a hair past the upper limitof human hearing. In this wayCDs can theoreticallyreproduce any frequency inthe human hearing range.
