A student as Interviewer | the hiring at VICETECH™

A 21 years old student sitting in the interviewer's chair. One who never sat for a single interview took face to face interview of more than 150 candidates. Though he is just 21 years old, the company gave him the full responsibility of hiring. Sitting along with 15-20 years experienced people, consulting with them, he shortlisted the candidates and finalized their salary.

Quality was the highest priority, and only 10 out of 150 candidates were shortlisted. Being not so old Company the budget was a huge concern, still, the company has tried to improvise the employee condition at its location setting the minimum salary higher than the normal market trend. The salary was finalized keeping both, the candidate and the company, comfortable. There were cases when the salary demand went beyond the maximum salary slab, considering the quality and standard of the candidate, the company went beyond the norms and finalized a salary more than the maximum salary slab.

The confidence and professionalism defined him as a professional recruiter, and the most interesting part came when the hired people got to know that he was just 21 years old and is younger than themselves. they couldn't believe the fact that he is a student, they were just amazed and astonished by the confidence that he displayed in the interview.

It was the turn of interns and he displayed such soft and influential gesture that all of them went home with a completely different perspective, where they got to know that internship is not just about working with a company, but there can be opportunities which can turn them into an entrepreneur. when asked for feedback about the company they replied its very friendly and motivating environment inside the company.

It was an amazing experience for him too, being a middle-class boy, this earned him huge respect. At an age when students are wondering about their placements, he was giving placements and internships in his own company. The age when one only thinks of getting a nice boss, he was being called sir by more than 15-20 people in his own company and 100's of candidates called him sir face to face and on phone. Being the first face of the company to any new individual was a great experience for him. He was in blushes when someone came and asked him "How could I be like you?".

Yes, Its true, he didn't make everything on his own, there was the support of many behind all this and he is thankful to all of them. The company trusted the youngest person available for the role, seniors guided and helped him, he is thankful to all of them and will always be.

My Interview | as if I wrote it.

It started when I got qualified for the 2nd level test for Persistent Systems, I was the only one from my college qualified for the Advanced Coding test. It was a coding test and I was disconnected form coding for last two years, this made my friends say that I cannot make it up. I too smiled and replied, but I was hurt from the inside. The day before the coding test, I told few of my friends that I am going to make it up. I didn't had any preparations, I was studying JAVA when one of my friends called and adviced me to go for sample questions of Advanced Coding test and not JAVA theory. I went with his advice and opened a few sample questions, was unable to solve any as I was trying the hardest one, but still, I believed I will make it up. The next day my code passed 14  out of 15 test cases in my Advanced Coding round. I was one of the only 7 people qualified out of 3 groups of colleges( 25+ colleges in West Bengal). Now I was not prepared for the technical Inte...

Marriages in India

Have you ever been to a marriage where you are the only family member? It has been more than a year that I attended a marriage where I was the only family member available for the whole night, and the full family is consist of more than 50 people. I WAS THERE BECAUSE I BELIEVE EVERY ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THEIR LIFE PARTNER, GOOD OR BAD, WHATEVER. WHO AM I TO JUDGE SOMEONE? Ho sakta hai ki mujhe kisi insan se parasani ho par iska ye matlab nahi ki mai apne vichar puri duniye pe thop de. Us waqt mere akele hone ki em matr wajha ye thi ki kisi ne baki sabhi par apne vichar thop diye the, aaj v thopa hua hai aur log duvidha me kaha ki kya kare, kaha jai? Par sachai to yahi hai ki aap apne vichar ek bar to kisi pe thop sakte hai par bar bar bhut dino tak to nahi. Apne vichar apne tak rakhiye, dusro ko apne vichar jahir karne dijiye. I really don't understand why do we have this culture to choose the life partner for others? where do we find this culture? I have heard of...
