Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Essay - what is the most difficult circumstances in your life?
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Packt (Mumbai) in Dec 2013
Interview
We were given an essay to write about ourselves and what makes us who we are. After the essay we were called in a different room. Whether it was based on the essay or random selection was unclear to us. We were again given two formal letters to write and a very simple logical reasonin test.
We were told we would be contacted by next day evening. I recieved a call on the said day but missed it by seconds. When I called back the receptionist asked me to call back the other day. On the other day when I could finally get to the hr I was told I wasn't selected. There was no reason given.
It is impossible that i was called intially to be told about my unsuccessful attempt in a walkin. It is however plausible that i was called to be present next day but they got enough candidates already. I wish they have given me a rather truthful answer than a silly excuse which i was sure to be not true.
