Over the last few years that I have been conducting
interviews at VN as well as at my earlier jobs, there have been many memorable
instances, some of which I’d like to share with you all:
Mother India
Aniket: “What is
your goal in life?”
Candidate (Female,22/23
year old fresher): “To have a
baby!”
Aniket: “How can
ValueNotes help you in that?” (I was
going to say ‘how can I help you with that’ …. But that would have sounded
like Ranjeet or Prem Chopda!)
|
Spiderman
Aniket: “Can you
tell me about yourself?”
Candidate: Ignores my question and keeps on following
a fly which is flying around the conference room.
Aniket: “Excuse me!”
Candidate: Still can’t get his eyes off the fly!
Aniket: “Ok
Spiderman, you can catch the fly first …. I’ll wait!”

The Stalker
Aniket: “So where
are you from?”
Candidate: “Sir,
I am also from Mumbai.”
Aniket: “Also
means?”
Candidate: “Sir,
I know you are also from Mumbai!”
Aniket: “Huh?”
Candidate: “I
saw you come in the morning at 9.07am in a blue Indica car with a MH02xxx
number. You were wearing dark glasses and carrying a black bag. You parked
behind the black santro whose number plate was MH12xxx. You removed your dark
glasses and kept then in the glove box and wore your spectacles……….”
Aniket: Nearly jumps out of the window!

The Ata Majhi Satakli girl
Aniket: “So, how
are you doing today?”
Candidate
(female): Literally jumps out of her chair and says “WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?”
Aniket: (Literally quaking in his shoes) – “I
just asked how you are.”
Candidate: “Oh
like that! I thought …………..”
Aniket:
(forgets all the questions he was planning to ask! And is still shaking!!)

Humpty Dumpty
Aniket: “So what did
you do after college?” (This is a few minutes into the interview)
Candidate: Just slips from the chair and plops on the
ground! Funnily he stays there for some time till I get up from my chair to
see where in the seven hells he had disappeared! He is still sitting there
crossed legged staring at me!
And then he says
“Sir, I want to go home!”

Needless to say none of the candidates were selected!
