It was 12th
august. Time was
9.10A.M.
I was very nervous and was and very anxiously waiting outside. One man was
standing outside my panel and he was speaking with someone in the mobile
wearing the CTS ID tag. He
suddenly asked me “r u Mr.R.karthick?”
i replied “yes sir”. Then he had called me to come inside. I was very much
excited as didn’t know that he is the HR Manager for me. My nervousness gone
and i had prepared myself for a very successful interview. Now i am giving u
the interview in the dialogue form:
HR: Please

Me: Good

HR: give me Ur
PIQ (Personnel Information Questionnaire. At that time he was having my
attitude answer paper and i noted my score was 23 and my hit ratio was in 80s.

Me: yes sir.
HR: tell me
what a linked list is
Me: i answered
HR: what is
single linked list, double linked list (DLL) and circular linked list. Then he
gave me a paper and asked me to explain the concept.
For all those
i answered well. Now he is entering deep into the subject. Then he asked how to
search an element in double linked list. I explained to him. Then he asked how
to go back and forth in DLL and whether it is possible to do so?
I said it is
possible to do back and forth search in DLL but i don’t know the real concept.
Then he said, “Leave it”.
HR: tell me
what
Ur
area of interest is
Me: operating
systems and software engineering
HR: tell me
some of the CPU scheduling algorithms and explain it.
Me: i had
explained about the FCFS, Priority and round-robin algorithms in the paper.
HR: what is
deadlock and tell me a practical example.
Me: i told
deadlock is non-availability of resources and prac. Eg is banking systems in a
main server. He was keenly noticing me and my body language.
HR: how to
avoid the deadlock situation
Me: i said
about the banker’s algorithm.
HR: tell me
other ways of avoiding it.
Me: sorry sir,
i can’t recollect it.
HR: which OS

make it run. Explain me.
Me: with the
help of Virtual Memory sir (and i said to him about the paging concept and
clearly conceptualised him in the paper)
HR: what is

practically we can do the paging in linux.
HR: u had put
ur
web related technical knowledge is on JSP, HTML etc.
Me: yes, sir.
I am learning J2EE on my own (it’s a lie. I had actually gone to J2EE course
but i lied to make a good impression abt me) with the help of a book. In that i
am learning JSP now, sir.
HR: ok write
me a program in JSP to display “hello world”.
Then i wrote
the program and displayed to him.
HR: in this
program u had used this getname () why doesn’t u use some other tags.
Me: we can use
sir, but i don’t know the syntax of all the tags.
Then he saw my
PIQ and had asked what
Ur
favourite programming languages are? I said java and C. then it continues...
HR:

Me: replied
that the size if the major difference b/w them and both are used for user
defined structures and used for storing various data types in a single one.

Me: sorry sir,
it will take more time and i can’t exactly recollect the programming concepts
too.
