Finally after a hectic schedule, time to update something..
Recently, a well known company called Qualcomm came to my university for campus placements. I have heard that campus placements are a rarity in Europe but in India, almost all well known engineering institutes have a campus placement system.
So luckily, I sat for Qualcomm. Qualcomm is one of the best technology company currently and is well known for CDMA technology. When Qualcomm came to campus for placement, we had only around 50 eligible people sitting for the interviews. I qualified for second round after passing the aptitude and technical test in the first round.
The interviews were fun altogether. I went through two rigorous rounds of interviews which lasted for 2 hours combined. The interviewer had a tremendous amount of knowledge and were grilling in on all the topics irrespective of whether it was listed on my resume or not.
So at the end of the day, 6 people qualified for the HR interview. HR interviews are pretty notorious as the kind of questions fired at you are uneasy to answer. We were told that the interviews will happen within few days. And then waiting, the days became week and finally I received the 'call'.
The interview was smooth and the next day when the results were declared, I was very elated as I got selected for the company. 'I have a job' and this feeling was very difficult to subside for some coming days.
But truly, it was a lifetime of experience to give 3 tests and 3 interviews and getting selected for one of the best companies in the world.
I am looking forward to join and waiting for that day to begin a new experience of my life :)
PS: Really thankful to my family and friends who stood by me during the whole process and gave me encouragement throughout it.
