The Placement season has just struck reality and the atmossphere is still hot with the uncanny warmth of the most FAQ "Are u appearing fo Placement in TCS?".I got dumbstruck when the hostel supervisor too asked me the same question, such is the impact of TCS in our college,with we getting mails from our Aluminus in TCS stating the lakhs of ruppes that we ll be earning per month and all yout to do to avail this jumbojet package is bid one year of yur time in TCS.With students being made to mug up the questions and a pre determined answer to the questions so that u look damn confident and not whimsical in ur interview for life.
Are these pre-scripted answers going to help other than making it tuff for the interviewers to recruit the students or God knows it may even make things easy for them, the way Dean Andersen found it easy in kavya Vishwanathan's "How opal mehta Got kissed,Got Wild, and Got a Life " even though the weight of her resume was far more than she would weigh given the gravitational force gets doubled.I have a stong intution that as HOWGIH almost ruined the chances of her getting into her dream College, where she cud not cite one human friend of hers nor she cud say anything about the romances she had with boys(coz she had none),the same is going to be repeated in the interviews.Twas pathetic,atleast i felt so,seeing people around jotting down points to say to the hackneyed Interview chap(this word is in hindi) question--"Where do u see yourself 3 years ,5 years and 10 years from now" and the answer which we were taught was "i wud be a project lead in 3 years a manager in 5 years and an even senior manager in 10 years". I doubt if it cud get me through the interview and i regret that all these efforts to teach us will stochastically go in vain coz i dont think i ll ever use these trademark banality answers.
