"Two mistakes of my life"

Sunday late afternoon, I was sitting my heads down,tiered without lunch and more than 5 hours of long wait made me go listless.In front of me MD of a prestigious company and a senior person from management.they were trying to extract my acquired skills and knowledge in two years of professional life. Yes! you are right!. I was facing an interview. A tough way cracked before I step in to interview hall.

Thursday,late evening I was about to leave my office but gmail maniac pulled me down to surf my mails. My surprise a mail pop up "Walk in call from a MNC on 9th may 2010 Sunday". I was lost in the imagination of huge crowd might gather for walk in. Somehow I took this matter seriously.For interview I have to "sharp axe".After a long professional life my fundamentals of Engineering was locked and kept deep under my left brain. I took all the pain to look over my basics and prepared for interview.Now I regret the moment I wish that shouldn't happened.

Never before on a Sunday I stared to sun early morning but I did because of interview. I got ready early morning checked my records and left for interview. After I wore my shoes I rechecked my bag for records. When I reached walk-in place crowd was almost covered parking lot as well. "I could have slept aramse" I blamed my self for coming for interview. Crazy crowd made me stand for 40 minutes in queue.My friend took out his resume to produce while registration and I followed him. Oh !! I exclaimed with haste."I forgot my resume".My goodness I had originals of mark card but resume?. SO i left with no option but to rush to nearest internet parlous to get a resume printed which was there in mail.

I regret myself rode my Apache till a cofe and get a resume printed.By the time I returned there was no queue. I consoled myself "return home bhai,registration over". Still I wanted to check my fate and it worked for me. I was allowed for written test.

More than 1500 people gathered for WT.My round came after 3 long hours of wait. There was an Verbal section and an aptitude section.More or less written was like a practice test for GRE. After tedious 50 minutes of written I lean over table and slept asleep. " Muruli K S " I heard somebody calling my name and I woke up to see my name shortlisted for interview.I was like"what! I can't believe"

5 long hours of wait without lunch.company people gave us snacks and tea. Post tea break there was interview. As I explained in first paragraph. Panel with two higher management level professionals took interview for me. My bad "two mistakes of my life I remember ever". After 10 minutes of casuals talk they asked me. Which area you interested to work?. Supplier quality or product quality?. I did my first mistake here. I chose former and had no clue why I chose.Followed by and result of my first mistake interview panel went frenzied and asked me "What is variable gauge and attribute gauge"> I did my second mistake here.question hit my ears like jargon of a manufacturing industry.I had no clue since I worked in non manufacturing company. I nodded I don't know answer but I tried to answer. Finally answered them wrongly.

End of interview with my last(lost)wrong answer. I was asked to go out and results are announced after 10 days. Now waiting finger crossed for result and somewhere in my mind a small silver line still alive.
