Tech Mahindra Drive : Interview with Selena

Dear Readers, Today we have smart Selena, a campus placed student. She is here to share her experience on Tech Mahindra drive.

Selena 

Interviewer: Hello Selena. Tell me about your studies.

Selena: Hi! I am Selena, pursuing 4th year BE, ECE.

Interviewer: Why did you choose to apply for TechMahindra

Selena: I chose to apply for Tech Mahindra basically because of the structured

learning and the creative freedom it provides to pursue other interests. I am in

contact with a few of the seniors who tell me about how they are doing so

much, apart from working. Most of them are studying part-time, or they are

actively engaged in other organizations. So, I like being busy and that’s

something that Tech Mahindra offers to their employees. Also, this being a day one company,

I see that I will have 57 familiar faces by the time I start my career.

Interviewer: Thanks looks promising career for a fresher. What were the different rounds conducted?

Selena: Rounds conducted were : the first round was the aptitude round. Once we cleared

that, we had the creative writing round, we had to write a 1200 character

passage on an image on the screen. Everyone gets a unique image. The

picture that I was given was a red dot. The next round was the Technical HR

round. It was fairly simple. We only had to answer confidently, and answer

right. For streams other than CSE and IT, they had asked mostly from

questions that can be found online. So it helps in preparation to Google

technical interview questions. And the final round was the HR round where I

was asked about my contributions to my projects and my communication skill

was checked.

Interviewer: Some interesting rounds! Huh? What is/are your take away from the process?

Selena: Takeaway- the first take away that I had was my first interview experience

where I did not know the interviewer. I also learned the kind of questions

that we could probably ask regarding the interview. And I understood that

when you attend an interview, you tell the company what they want to hear.

Interviewer: Interesting! What are your suggestions for future aspirants?

Selena: For my juniors, I would say work super hard. Because, there is nothing that

equates to that. And do ‘smart work’ more than ‘hard work’. And for the

technical HR, it is expected that we know what we study, for Tech Mahindra.

That is as an ECE student, I was asked questions on ECE, not on CSE.

Interviewer: Thank you Selena for the some smart insights on the recruitment process. I hope it will help the readers. Wishing you a great career with Tech Mahindra.

Selena: Pleasure is mine! Thank you too!

She – Ekla Chalo Re – a subject matter often untouched is an intriguing story written by Santosh Avvannavar and Dr. Shayan Haq. The quest to find one’s own calling and destiny is a journey we all embark upon but how many of us actually find the answers? How the protagonist seeks it forms the crux of the story line. Highly motivational. Must Read!!

This was a great book for a short read . It is different from what I generally read but I have no regrets . The writing was simple but the story was powerful and is sure to leave a lasting impact. The ending was great and unexpected . I liked that it ended with a better hope for future. Apart from a few grammatical errors, it was pretty good for a quick read. I won this book in a goodreads giveaway.

BUGman Review

From my side, it’s 4.5/5

The authors have succeeded in keeping the narrative tone light throughout the book using simple, lucid language. The occasional gleams of humour even make you smile amidst the technical jargons used.

I highly recommended the book to the freshers who are about to start their professional life, to all the students and even to seasoned ‘bugmen’. Because, as it has been said, in IT, you learn something new each day.

Prayers

God answers all our prayers in four ways 

1. Sometimes God gives what we ask

2. Sometimes God tells no for what we ask

3. Sometimes God tells wait for what we ask because you are not still ready for it

4. Sometimes God tells wait because I have better plans for you

Beautiful analogy to quote this

1. When a small kids asks for a a you or chocolates parent tell ok and buys happily because parents feel kid will feel happy and you can buy it.

2. When small kids tell I want to play with knife or fire parent tell no you are not playing with it because parent knows it would be dangerous if you play with knife or fire which may cause hurt to the kid which might cause pain and may be some disabilities later if I allow the kid to play with knife or fire as parents forsee what might happen.

3. A 10 year old kid goes and ask the parents to buy a bike parent will tell no not now u r not still ready for it I will buy u when u are grown up and ready for it to handle the bike.

4. Boy goes and ask the parents shall we go to Ooty this summer vacation parent tells no immediately boy gets angry you don’t give me what ever I ask them parent tells no dear I am working for the plan of taking you to Switzerland the tickets are yet to get confirmed I have better plans for you.
