Comment on theory on placement interviews … by nixbert

hey

well yes, he was academically brilliant however that’s not what made the difference. He had taken an off-beat path, which turned out to be great fit for this organization. Completely unplanned but it fell into place like a piece in jigsaw puzzle.

To explain further, even though he was an engineer he chucked his job in manufacturing sector after just one year and joined a small start-up where he handled business development and media publicity for his firm. Eventually that firm went bust in recession (2001-ish). Dejected he sought further education in humanities focussing on Indian social structures and their history and also worked with an NGO. As it turned out, the media company which employed him loved his profile since he had great context for the kind of diverse media engagements that the company was involved in.

So no he would not have been a good fit in most companies. But in hindsight, it is now hard to imagine a more logical turn of events.

Hope this helps.

Hey Lurker

Ouch!!?? yeah! I am alive. Not dead yet. Thank you very much.

Last 8-ish months have been pretty dramatic and engaging for me. I returned back to my blog so many times but never got around to posting more. That’s going to change soon.

nixbert,
are you still alive? i am back in india after a while, and feel lost.
isb seems to be an option. your outsider’s insider view would be of immense help.
do you still post? or respond?

thank you

hey nixbert,
the childhood friend, was he of the AWESOME/OVER-ACHiever variety (like the class topper– always), one of those, who are a great fit for nearly everyone and everything? or were things more specific?

Thanks!
