Interviewer: Can you give me some more details as to why you want to resign a Government job and join a private one?

Me: Yes, I would. Since I am having a family to look after and with the present job I am unable to keep my family with me and also since my job requires me to be available 24/7, 365 days this was not a problem when I did not have these responsibilities but now it has become compulsion for me to look after and for me I think what’s the use of earning the money and not enjoying them with family.

Me: If the registry keys are deleted or corrupted then the application may not run or if it runs also it will create problems some  where else and to delete the registry keys we need type in Regedit command in the run window and press enter andthen from the registry window search for the keys to delete and selecting them we need to press delete key .Interviewer: Do you know Computer networks?

Interviewer: Ok kiran please wait out side will get back to you in a few min.
Me: I said yes and walked out of the room and was little anxious but the people who were waiting outside wanted to inquire why it has taken a lot of time.
After some time Dennis along with Sam came up to the lounge area and called me and spoke to me saying that they were satisfied with my interview and told that they were checking my accent and my technical knowledge and told me that I was selected for this round and need to attend a written technical test and also if I clear there will be a HR round and if cleared will get the appointment letter. Then they handed over a sealed envelop and told me to give to the HR

After some time the HR came.
HR: Congrats you cleared the written test 
Me: Thanks 
HR: So you are a defense person and where are you working?
Me: Yes, I am working in Air Force Station Delhi.
HR: So you want to join a pvt organization from a govt organization, don’t you feel that you are loosing security of job?Me: Yes, I want to join a corporate sector since it was a dream for me and I think the circumstance have paved the way for me since I am also not interested to be in Air Force because I am away from my family and also this posting makes it very difficult for me to be with my family and it will be for five years. Secondly I don’t feel any that I am loosing Job security since any how I have to retire after 20 years of service and I have finished 12 years and I cannot justify to my duty if I am not interested. So owing to moral grounds I want to join a pvt organization.
HR: So you think that your family comes first than your job?
Me: It depends on how a person thinks but for me both are important because without money I cannot survive and without a job I cannot earn so I balance both Job and Family and prioritize them.
HR: What is the remuneration you are expecting from us?
ME: I am expecting a good remuneration from you but I would be happy if I am paid as per your organizations standards so that I might not feel that I am left out in comparison with my colleagues. 
HR: Are you willing to work in any shift?
Me: That would not be a problem for me because I have been doing duties in Air Force on the call and 24/7. So I do not have any problems
HR: Ok you may go..Me: I thanked her and walked out of the room.
After an hour the HR came and gave me all the details and told that I got Selected!!!
This gave me the confidence that I can do well in the future.
Though I did not join the Job it was a very good experience for me and it helped me in an interview which I attended in Bangalore in an IT company and which I have joined as a Quality Assurance Lead.
