EPISODE 1: Interview call
Lying on my bed with hands over my stomach, I knew it wasn't that mild, food poison I cried to myself. At 3 in the afternoon my cell phone rang and it was the interview call.
"Ma'am u were to visit us today but u haven't turned up". "Well" I replied, "have spoken to the HR, can't make it today. It has been rescheduled for next week." I cut the line, pulled my blanket and was off to dream land
The interview week - Dressed in my best formals, Lloyd and baker bag, smelt of CK, put on my best stilettos and off I was to visit Pioneer Corporation - one of the biggest fashion house in the country.It has been home to some of the biggest fashion designers, owns few fashion magazine, some fashion channels and everything that belongs to the fashion industry.
A mere 30 min drive from my house, the distance didn't seem that longer.I showed up on on time and finally I was with the HR.
"Hi Ziya, hope you are much better now. Please have a seat, the manager will see you in a while."
"Thanks" I replied and was waiting in the meeting room. The room had a weird name Noeda. I wondered what that meant.
After 30 mins of waiting, a tall, smart guy walked inside the room. French beard, wheatish complexion, well built, seemed smart and very handsome, he is awesome I said to myself.....hold on Ziya...concentrate on the interview.....and he put forward his hand to greet me.
What a strong grip!
"Hi, I'm Akshay, please be comfortable.....before we begin let me introduce myself...I'm an MBA from IIM Bangalore - marketing and have recently joined this organization. Ill be heading the team and you will work under me:"
'work under me'... have I been selected????..you haven't even heard me yet!
"I had called you last week and I suppose you were not keeping well, I hope you doing much better now"
Duh! It was this guy who spoke...and I banged the phone... Never mind. i consoled myself.
"Anyways shall we start."
And confidentally I said,"Yes, we can"
"Ziya, interesting name...tell me something about yourself."
"Ziya Subramanium.... What a different combination...Whats your background girl."
"My parents are South Indians...its not a love marriage...they simply loved this name hence I got it. Nothing great to share, just that its me - Ziya and Subramanium which don't go hand in hand..nothing great about the history you see." I said with that side smile on my face.
"Hmmmm..." a plain reply with no expressions at all.
"So tell me more Ziya, what do you like to do, what kind of a person are you."
Is this a marriage interview??? I thought to myself. He first introduced himself and now he wants to know what kind of a person am I.
Well, I'm a fun loving person, happy go lucky, extrovert, full of energy, love talking, meeting new people, I love playing guitar, karate black belt.. swimming is my favorite sport..I'm a state level champion....I also enjoy playing badminton....inter collegiate level..have been the college secretary, editor for magazine, good at drama and singing...I can dance all the way..all night,, love traveling, seeing new places, I live with my parents, younger brother and reside at matunga.
phew...
"Nice introduction...pretty impressive and elaborate."
But u said speak something about yourself... I thought again to myself.
"We shall get back to you." Saying this he wished me good bye.
Thats it!!! What was that..interview?? short and sweet and he didn't ask me any technical questions.
I knew I wasn't getting this job because of all the blabbering I did...but never mind I have many more to look at.
With this belief I walked out of that huge fashion house...leaving my dreams behind
Never even turned back..and I knew I had lost this opportunity.
