my INTERVIEW experience....finally a navratna PSU..10/4/10

After ISPAT@4.2 LPA, cracked JSW Stell Ltd@3.6LPA-my 2nd job-even then I was feeling to have been jobless.. in no world-- aisa lag rha tha ki job laga hi nhi .
twas just the 35 minutes on 10th of April 2010 that changed all my feelings for the day.. for you..for me too.
I apologize right now for the length.

The 35 mins interview:

me: yes sir... JSW steel
coal1: jindal?,, if i'm rite. its a pretty good company to work with.. then why do u want to join CIL (telling as if i've been already selected in CIL)
me: sir actually.. actually I always wanted a PSU job.my dad was a mech engg in DVC and he always wanted me 2 've a navratna job. i would b happy.. with a job secured
coal2:every1 now is fter job security.. it doesnt mean that govt sector gives ur job secured.. u can b thrashed.. so many unions.. ///...
coal1:why r u interested in CIL .. d job isnt easy.. u need 2 go underground..the places are not so good as jiiiiindal to work.. u need to work in shifts

coal2:ummmm..whats ur favourite subject in these 4 yrs??what r u intersed in
me: its digital electronics.

[Very exciting, the 2 koyla men asked me analog electronics also.. coal1 was prepared with a sheet of basic electrical engg questions... cheap questions infact.. the other 1 was shuffling my certificate file.. asked me about my project in CMERI, durgapur,if i had done anything there or not. it then came to power electronics.. microprocessor, power systems..... sab cool kaal. and then finally came a question from electrical machines, which I dont know the basics of. I really wasn’t expecting any follow-up. he asked me another from machines.. a simple one.. infact the most simple one.. torque speed characteristics of an IM, I threw an arrow. and finally...
"ok.. we are done with the intervw... kindly send d next one"... thank u sir..]
