Interview Preparation Tips
The worst interview ever in my life till now for SSM/SPA role in an insurance company, Gallagher needed 400 SSMs and the walk-in drive was also huge, but the crazy thing starts from here, the first round was HR (HR executives cleared everyone just for the name sake), second round was L&D in which some 4-5 guys were filtering everyone except *BEAUTIFUL GIRLS*, I don't remember the exact name of my interviewer (vishvesh/Chandrashekar), he is just a MF, with his warm welcoming style like handshake and with his smile majority of the crowd thought they got selected for the next round (even though my friends and I interacted with this MF in a good manner and also with proper english without grammatical mistakes), this MF says wait for sometime we will update you and after sometime HR PONAPPA calls your name and says " I'M SORRY, YOU NEED TO IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNICATION, YOU CAN LEAVE FOR THE DAY"..
Yaar tum jaise MC ki wajah se bahut saare ladkon ka jeena haram ho chuka he..
inn MC ko keeda chubta rehta he g**nd me isiliye ghanto tak wait karvate he hame woh bhi bina paani,
Mujhe 100% yakeen he ki yeh log sirf company ka paisa lootne ke liye 400 SSMs vacancies update kiye the naukri me..
Mein khud mere aankhon se dekha hu ki yeh log sabko vapas bhej rahe the sirf KHUBSURAT LADKIYON ko rakh ke (lagta he lap dance karvaane ka shock he inhe)..
Ek baat bolo jo bhi India me rehta he unka english Indian accent ka hota he, chalo mein bhi maanta hu agar kuch galati hogaya grammer me toh theek, magar thanda dimak se aaraam se hum log baat kar rahe the without grammatical mistakes, iske baad bhi inn haram zaade hamare saath khel liya, mere 1100₹ bhi barbaad hogaya transportation me aur khane me..
Just for your reference guys, if you're a girl that too a beautiful girl then you can attend this company and I'm 100% sure they'll select you..
F this company..
