My Friend's Interview at TCS

Now a days,there are lots of openings with TCS. Read interview
of one of my friend.

1------why tcs.

Simply because it will provide me the working environment that suits a fresher to a great extent. TCS is having a variety of domains to work in and it also provides global exposure .... what else a fresher needs ?

2------why s/w.
Because it suits to my interest, skills and abilities. I think i have a sound reasoning and analytical skills which is a prerequisite for this field.

3------where u find yourself after 5 years.
its very difficult to predict it right now as i dont have any real industry experience....still, i hope to have a position with some independent decision making power to utilize and explore my skills by that time.

4-----how do u think is tcs different from wipro and
infy(or others).
to be honest, I am not in a position to compare these companies as I dont have enough knowledge about the internal details of these.... one thing, I am quite sure about is that TCS is one of the companies that is very good for a fresher to start with and that is enough for me to make a try for it.

5----how long can u work in our company without any
break--1,6,8,12 hours or intire day.
It depends upon the many things such as the nature of the work, the deadlines, the importance, the responsiblities, and not to forget my physical and mental condition on that particular day.


6------ in ur view what is an ideal job.
for me an ideal job is the one that utilizes and explores my skills and abilities to the fullest and the one I m having interest in.

7------why ur grade is so low( Saurabh puch raha hai., he
got 8 this time(enough for saurabh haaaaaaa)).

The answer depends whether u r having average marks in the past or better..if, u r an average performer since the beginning then the obvious answer will be " sir, i have not been an excellent student since my childhood..initially, i could not concentrate on my studies that hard because of sports (or some other reason that suits you... education in rural areas, lack of guidance, etc.. can be a few god ones)..now, i have got a competitive environment and i m sure to improve my grades in future....KUCHH ESI TARAH KEE BAKWAAS KAR DENA.....SAMAJHE...."

8-----are u confident that u have got this job.
I m not pretty confident of being considered for the selection.

9------assurance that u will not leave tcs.
to be honest, noone can assure you at any stage....though, there is a formal agreement for the first 2 years..but, it all depends upon the satisfaction and future growth of the individual who makes a decision to switch to some other company..one thing I can assure you is that till the time I will be getting prospects for future growth, recognition, and satisfactory working condition... I wont leave it.

10-----why do u think u will get this job?
well, i think i m having a sound analytical and reasoning skills. i think i m having basic technical knowledge required to enter in this industry and the last but not the least I have performed well throughout your selection process.

11----market urself.
A prospective technocrat who is having enough skills and abilities to attain great success in this field. The only thing he requires is a suitable platform to utilize his skills which offer ample learning opportunities.

12-----what ur expectation from us.
getting an offer letter.

13----ur plan of professional life.
there is no long term plan as yet...since, i dont have any real experience.


GOOD FORMAT TO SAY ABOUT YOURSELF?
try to say what you are, what you want to be in the near future, ur interests, ur hobbies..... dont emphasis on what u were in the past and there is no need to go deep into family details...rather it must be avoided.

....whatever, i have written above must not be considered to be the final answer..the answers may vary for person to person....i have tried to answer the questions for you, but u know urself far better than me..so there can always be a chance of improvement..
one more thing, i have not taken even a second to think over ur questions...right after reading ur mail, i started giving answers, so please read the answers carefully, give time to think over them and then make the necessary changes.....i hope u r getting my point.
