The So Called Interview ...

Yesterday (Sunday July 12, 2009) there was an interview in Robert Bosch, Adugodi Bangalore for Apprenticeship. My junior’s sister was attending it and so to guide them I was there. This is the First Interview I heard in the recent months for Engineers who passed out recently. I expected people in hundreds and we were there before two hours.

The interview process was scheduled to start at 12 PM, and the written test was supposed to span 4 hours plus. It was communicated early, that the result will be announced on the same day. We were sitting in the nearby bus stop and trying to kill time so that we can get her in.

Somewhere around 10.45 AM I felt like there is much of crowd so it’s better to get inside the gates else it will be difficult. So I conveyed the same and myself, my junior’s sister and her dad we all moved and to my surprise there were people already inside the main gate and waiting. They were around some three hundred plus people inside and another four hundred plus people outside at 10.50 AM. People were pouring in every minute.
We got in and after ten minutes, there came an announcement. Saying that the people are supposed to form two queues, One for Mechanical and Mechanical Allied branches and another for Non - Mechanical and Non - Mechanical Allied Branches. I came out along her father and we were waiting. They called some 150 people from both the branches in the queue and suddenly all the people inside were asked to leave saying that they don’t have vacancy and will let them know if there rises any. There were totally some thousand five hundred plus people who gathered there and most of them were from other states and cities. People were so disappointed and left off scolding the people around.

That was insane, I thought, People wasted their time, money and hopes too. They were feeling bad and disappointed. The people at Bosch should have planned it well. They had online registration and a 13 page form which was filled online by each candidate before a month. Even after that they didn’t know the count of people and they just called out everyone.

exactly yaar.

as a student whose dreams and time and money got wasted, i actually feel you have written it too softly. Bosch deserves to be called by any bloody bad word.
