Oh it started with me wanting a job.I actually got a job in IBM but it was a dream to work forr my friends company.So after 5 weeks of waiting for the call to come, a call letter for the aptitude test finally arrived.I didn't know what to expect in an aptitude test,I studied all the basic questions that could have been asked and I thought that the going would be smooth.I reached the place a good half an hour early only to see to my surprise a long queue of wannabes standing in a snake like train which started from the college gate and covering all of the campus ended at the Rear gate of the college.As I was writing this post,I hadn't moved an inch since the time I came.It was a long wait,anyways I was jobless and I'm tired of sitting at home.Ok ! so i got through this line after a good two hours and then i reached the main gate of the college ,checked my documents and to my surprise there was another queue of people waiting to get in to the college for the aptitude.It was 0830 hrs when i reached the college gate and when i crossed this line it was 1245 hrs and i went in for the aptitude test.Some guy gave us a speech that it was for people who were comfortable working in all shifts.And then preceded the aptitude test for an hour.They gave us a paper to write our contact details and i filled all those in,wrote the aptitude test as well.The questions were a bit tough and i wrote all the answers feeling optimistic and when the results were announced on a mike in front of 500 people anxiously waiting to go home ,there came my name and i was shocked to hear my name at first but i realized that maybe i was dumb enough to have cleared this test.The next round was screening by a HR from the company with simple questions like introduction, why do u want to join this company etc.I cleared this round as well.I was waiting for the third round to happen and suddenly out of the blue a guy comes up saying that the guys who are based in Bangalore can leave for the day and the others who have come from different colleges outside of Bangalore can stay and only their rounds will be taken.I was literally tired and I hadn't had a single grain of food since morning and I decided to leave as i was hungry ,tired and famished .I thought these guys would give me a call and as it was supposed to be I never got a call from the company.My dream was shattered and I still wish that i would have stayed for that extra hour or two and my life would have changed for the better.I don't believe in destiny but I believe in being their at the right place at the right moment to grab the opportunity.If u miss that you have to wait for your next shot.But u know as Eminem said it "U only get one shot do not miss ur chance to blow .This opportunity comes once in a lifetime ."
