(my mom complaints i spent more bucks than during coll outings) yet the question of joining ll always sprang up where ever i go(err........) .. but ppl console me i ll be joining soon...... tis had been the situation till sep.....
but now ........... everybody talks abt us ress.... do this course and do learn this..... any article regarding satyam ll be forwarded to my mail or passed thru mob mess( i m the only one who graduated this yr in my whole bunch of cousins) ... wats happening to ur job is the hot fav question among ppl i see.... even the neighbour kid (hardly four yr old ) questions me wat i m doing dese days???).... so i thought of going for temp job...

day into satyam

my placement quest for satyam started on 22nd march in chennai... we took up the test by 10 in the morning .. it was a paper of 30 mins duration ... bit tough but can be tackled well... the results for the apps round was out by four in the evening... had nice time in between hours... cracking jokes .. i wasnt upto my confident level since my 1st interview wid infy busted... thank god i cleared the 1st round along wid ten of my classmates... then the next day we had gd round... i was pretty confindent tat i wud make thru tis .. but wen i saw my fellow mates i again dropped down... everybody prepared with a topic and discussing it.. think i wud be the only one who came fresh.. the topic was to be decided by us.. so one gal suggested "are women being respected in india " i realised god was with me tat time since i made a presentation in tat before a week... then gd went smooth and we were given the results by 2.00pm ... then came the hr ... it was really the worst moment... we nearly waited for one hour to go into the panel itself but lady who interviewed was very nice asked some few questions and said to wait for results(tis was at four pm).... then the endless waiting for results took place nearly till 9.30 until everybody finished hr... and at last results were out and myself including three of my bus mates got selected .. our joys were immensed we didnt even follow the other things said by them.... i reached home by eleven in night ... the most memorable day in my life

The GooD, The BaD & The WaiTing....

Well with an all time low moral I went to Sri Ram College of Engineering & Technology on 21 of March 2007...after all u cannot expect me to be high on confidence after being rejected from TCS...but i suppose that was my D-DAy. The aptitude exam was scheduled at 9.30a.m. IST..with that in mind (IST) i reached my center at 10.00a.m. We were taken into a room where i saw, to my surprise, more candidates then what i actually anticipated. Nearly 3455 engineers , all well deressed, waiting for the exam to start. The paper started and i was off to a flash; it was a HalF n Hour paper with moderate difficulty level. Half past 12 the paper was over. The result was announced at 4.00 p.m.....( phewww a Long wait) but all that waiting ended on a GooD note....i qualified the written , but.....while announcing the result the HR gave us a few gitters....." STudents nearly 3500 students appeared in the exam...n we have short-listed 478 students to face the group discussion round " ( waooo.. call that for an example: scary)

Next day was the GD/Pi round.......luckily for me..( unluckily for some...) our batch comprised of people who were known for there tremendous oratory skills. We were given the topic " Smartworkers V/s Hardworkers...demand of 21st century "....I initiated the GD which is always a gud sign ....after all the groups completed , HR announced the result,not surprisingly, while annoucing it he gave us some more gitters to deal with. " Friend out off 478 cantidates we have short listed 78 candidates to face the persobnal iNterview ". Every time he said this, i was reminded of Mahindra & Mahindra ( company scheduled next to visit jabalpur for its campus recrruitment drive) . But again i qualified the GD round.

Then came the Pi ......n Yes, i was the first candidated out of 78 other to go for my interview. The HR took just 2-3 min to decide that "yes" u r fit for this company...!!! Finally out of 78 people they took 33 students . I immediatly called my parents & told them that ur Good 4 nothing ChiLd has got his 1st JoB...!!!

After that...its just waiting...waiting....n more waiting....but i presumed that Joining will not b b4 october ( as my seniors were called in January) ....Sometimes i thought of opting for some other options....buT SATYAM the BRand....stooped my furthur thinking....!!! I dont know for how long m i suppose to wait.....but whatever will happen will happen 4 gud....!!!!

So friend hope to see u aLL in SATYAM....n Thank-you all for reading this crap...LoLzz...

Vaibhav Sharma's Story

So, as the creator of Blog i would be the best person for 1st post of this blog.
........................................................................................>>

It was winter, November had started, and it was November 2nd, place CEC Landran (Chandigarh).
Satyam was there to place students in their recruitment round called Dream Slot, i.e. it was there to recruit students who were already placed in other companies....( Hmmm.... nice way of attrition).
So an aptitude test was put in front of us....... cleared it with ease......
Then they made us to write two essays....
So interview was scheduled for next day.
I had been waiting for my turn for interview, and i had been in the college since morning 8:00 AM, and it was 8:00PM now.
I appeared for the interview and was out of the interview chamber within 30 seconds, I was selected.........Don't know How! I was told on the spot......." Boss you are selected".
Came out jumping high in the air with all the leaps n bounce in my heart as well..........
...................................................................................................>>>>>
Days passed, my graduation was about to end.....
I received a call from Satyam computers......and they inquired about my result n other stats.....
I started shopping, knowing that i may get joining soon........
Scheduled or virtual date was 23rd of june......
But....But....... in the month of june i got another call from satyam and the lady saying with a very gracious voice and with a very polite tone" Vaibhav your joining will be nex month and you will receive confirmation mail by the end of this month"........
I started waiting for joining.....but no mail by the end of that month........
I mailed back to campulse team.....but of no use.......

Meanwhile i joined Satyam 2008 community on Orkut, began to mingle with my future colleagues, we didnot knew each other at all.
But we shared something common among us, we all were waiting for joining and we had a hope that we will meet each other some day.......(May GOD bless us with that day soon).
The community was a place where we got updated about latest news at satyam.
The community was just like another office in satyam.
A lot of activities came about in the community, people fought, people made friends, people left us for other companies, people spread rumours and many of ur might have fell in love as well........;).

More days past, got another call from satyam, then got emails.........
All calls and emails were for updation of Data........GOD knows how many times would they do that......Somebody really need to check their database........

And when it was really scheduled to release joining letters, one of the best friends of the world arrived.............The RECESSION......Markets and companies tumbling along ......not been able to stand on their feet........
Our Doj still hanging somewhere........

And its November 23rd today......but the hope is still on that we will get our joining soon. All we can do is hope for the best, we can't do much but all we can do is wait cheerfully.
