My Very First Unspoken

Hey folks,

Had been thinking for a long time to create my own blog and start writing something and sharing it. Seemed like quite a cool idea and finally managed to do it today.
So now that I am here, I am thinking of my very first UNSPOKEN...
Recently I was called for a selection process with one of the companies in Bangalore. I was suppose to go through a GD followed by a “on the spot presentation” on a topic of ur choice and then a personal one on one interview. It was a Saturday morning and I was already cursing myself for coming. It was 8:00 AM (the scheduled time) and we were taken into the room and my-self cursing continued…
we were given the topic after much wait.. IT & Job cuts (It sounded quite boring and Stupid a topic to me) and I was cursing myself more fiercely now. The discussion started and most of the guys there did not really know what exactly they were saying. Some had a weird accent, others had weird twists and turns to the English language which they were adding as spices to the irrelevant points they were making. Amidst the curses that were going inside me, I thought it was very important for me to atleast make a minimum of one point, not because I wanted to get through but because I took the pain of getting up at 6 in the morning to be there at 8:00AM ( Is tat a time to start an interview for Christ’s sake?????). Anyway, so finaly the GD was called closed and I had managed to put in 2 points by then.
We were asked to get to the second round immediately and I was the third person who was asked to step front and deliver a small talk. By this time I had calmed down as the normal day time for me had begun and it was already 10:30, so I went and made the presentation on the topic "Save our Planet". Now Honestly, I chose the topic not because I wanted to talk on it, but because I thought I would be good at it. And I did manage to succeed. All the talks were over by 1 and after that the shortlisted candidates were announced.. Sadly I was one of them!! Till now the adrenal level had not reached the level to actually excite me.
The final round with the HR person was a tiring session. the guy opposite, got stuck to the fact that I have so many piercings in my ear and how can he offer me a job with all those on me? There was a half hour discussion on the same and the it came to rest when he said that he would not be able to offer me the job if I do not get rid of the piercings I have. I denied him without second's thought and I was now starting to curse myself for a totally different topic, when I was suddenly told tat I have been offered the job and it was to test my patience level that my piercings were discussed.
I was 1 out of the final 2 who were selected in the lot of 20. Was surely Happy and finally excited that evening.

Came back home and over my second beer, a thought crossed ma mind... “Would he have offered me the position, if he had seen ma tattoo????”
