Yearbook Report 2008-2009

So XYZ & Sisters is one of the many worlds leading consultants who are visiting the campus to recruit. A group of 10 candidates have been short listed. The HR executives of this company follow a rigorous recruitment procedure, which basically means scrupulously examining each candidate’s CV and having group discussions. Here is a snippet of the group discussion; the candidates were given the task of designing the poster, advertising the company.
Divya, was the first to delegate work and as a true perfectionist tried to ensure that none of the details were missed out and that group work was carried out smoothly and efficiently.
Shreya was deep in thought while humming a melodious tune, all candidates approached her with great ease and her opinions and insights contributed immensely to the discussion.
Mansi kept cracking jokes though many of them were not understood. She also began to discuss where the group would eat after the process was over and kept insisting on some ‘blues’ thing/place?
Faiz was least ruffled and when tempers raised he would instantly and effortlessly calmed everyone and brought the group back on track.
Sohini and Ananth were usually referred to as the ‘sciencees’ and while Sohini kept worrying about the cost of the project, Ananth was more concerned with the marketing and kept insisting on newsletters being sent to advertise the poster.
Anuja broke into dramatic monologues about how the places where the posters would be put up should be booked in advance. Raghav readily agreed with her and was quick to plan the logistics of the entire operation coming up with a complex theorem to minimize errors, which the interviewers could not understand.
Reeja was approached by all for help and favors when someone couldn’t do something or was too lazy, however she also warned that she would send scathing mails to everyone if they troubled her too much. Rajarshi was enthusiastic and eager to take on responsibility and contribute if extra work was required.
The group discussion went on for a long time, and the interviewers looked pretty bored for most parts. Their only comic relief was a happy group of ‘volunteers’ who served them coffee, tea and cheese patties and entertained them with stories of how they all met and became good friends over the past year.
However, the Company was unable to recruit anyone since it has filed for bankruptcy.
