Jo bhi ho.. us din to lag jaati hai..!!

Then, I got a call from Puneet, my boss, offering me a job. I ll be in the team where I did my MTS. But then, it was just 3 days before the D day.

So, I felt the heat till I got the call. When I confess that this heat cannot be avoided, let me try to tell u how one could get the temperatures down. I would tell what I think went well for me.

Let me start with some context.

I was always clear that I ll be in finance. Finance is again too broad. I knew where I was interested to a bit more extent. So, the confusion is lesser here. Still, it all depends on who comes on campus. This only to some extent is in your hands. So, there is some heat which can be diversified and some which cannot be.

To make things easier for myself, I went on for few courses. The results were scheduled on 27^th January. I was occupied and my mind thought of only this result. Placements etc were not yet thought of. To avoid this result excitement and tension, I concentrated on a certificate course scheduled exam on 25^th. So, it’s like this. I was occupied with exam or its results. I had no time to think of placements. My mind was not idle and hence not a devil’s work shop.

So, the take home for you is: pre occupy yourself with something constructive which would help you in interview and also keep you away from diversifiable tension and confusion. Diversifiable risk is never rewarded by the market. Only beta is rewarded, mind you.

And then, I had to think about D day also. It is crucial. I thought to get thorough about whatever my resume contained. My work experience in railways, other exams and other things broadly. Other things included my achievements, how, what, etc. The important thing is to know about the organization.

One thing guys!! You should understand that an organization tries to get some feedback from those they know. So, try to get spotted and if this is done, try to be in their good books.

I feel, my case analysis sponsored by IFMR had a considerable impact on my selection. They observed me and my friend. They spot some of us. So guys, if IFMR is sponsoring UDAAN again, you need to be very active.

This is all I have for you. Don’t know how good this would be for you. Still…
