Throughout the 4 years of my engineering I've been waiting for this day.
When i'll be sitting all dressed in formals, hair neatly combed, going through my resume and waiting for my turn when someone will call ”Prateek Malpani you are next."
That day finally arrived. I entered with a confident smile hiding my nervousness. Half my nervousness and anxiety disappeared when the interviewer at least 4 decades older than me stood up from his seat and greeted me. He looked excited for the 15 minute talk that was going to happen between us. The look on his face was calm and peaceful. After scanning my RESUME for few minutes finally the most awaited question arrived...
"Hmm ok, so tell me something about yourself?" I have been asked this question a decent number of times before but every time there was someone cute sitting opposite me asking this question.
Although I was expecting this question I was still was feeling at a loss of words when it was finally asked. Give it a thought, you can speak volumes on your friends, your crush, and your family but when it comes to telling something about yourself you become tongue-tied.
This question followed a horde of other questions.
“What are your future plans?”
“What are your interests?”
“Why this and Why not that?”
And on…
I read somewhere that always look into the eye of the interviewer and answer the question, it shows confidence but I was doing it with so much commitment that I thought I might scare him.
Finally he gave me an opportunity to ask something if I wanted to and I came up with
“Thank You Sir.”
The first ever interview of my life was smooth sailing and I can say a cake walk.
Many more to come I guess so I better figure out something to say about MYSELF.
