When my turn came in I walked into the room and Found two people sitting over there. Wishing them Good Afternoon i was asked to take my seat and I sat comfortably. This is noted very carefully. I had a eye to eye contact with both of them. I handed over them my certificates for them to go through.

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.
Interviewer: Ok tell me about yourself?
Me: I told about my schooling and the place I hail from and the job I was doing in brief.
Interviewer: Oh great you could do your Graduation and Post graduation while doing a job and don’t you feel that was difficult while serving the IAF?

(Now the interviewer showed me his laptop and told me to hear a conversation. I took the head set and listened the conversation)
Interviewer: What was the person trying to tell? Me: I told him that the person was telling that he wanted a technical issue to be resolved pertaining to his Laptop.
Interviewer: What is the solution you have for him?
Me: I told him the procedure of how to solve his issue.
Interviewer: He smiled at me and said I would like to speak with my friend who wants to ask you about information. He works as a SME (subject Man Expert) and he picked up his cell and connected to that person and handed over me the phone and walked out of the room.
Interviewer: Hello Kiran I am Sam
Me: Hello sam
Interviewer: I work as a SME and hope Dennis told about me
Me: yes
Interviewer: Can you tell me how does a browser work? Me: I said do you want me to explain the functionality of the browser. Interviewer: yes Me: I gave him the information of what he wanted. Interviewer: can you tell me some thing about cookie and what it does? Me: I told him the definition of cookie and the role it plays in the Brower functionality Interviewer: Ok what will you do to change the settings of the browser? Me: I explained him the process. Interviewer: Tell me something about registry in windows? Me: I told about the registry and told him that when ever an application is installed then it is this place that the registry keys are saved and based on this when ever we run the application it will fetch information from here and runs the application. Interviewer: What happens when these registry keys are deleted or corrupted and how can you delete the registry keys? 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? Me: Not fully but I have a fair idea Interviewer: Ok No issues. Thanks a lot. Me: thanks a lot and gave back the cell to Dennis. Interviewer: How was the interaction? Me: It was good (Dennis got a call and he typed in some thing in his laptop. I knew it was from sam) 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 I was a bit relaxed now and was waiting to go for the next round people around me congratulated. After few min a interview board member accompanied us in the Cab to another facility a few hundred meter away from this facility. When we came to this facility we were given tags to enter the facility and Pooja came and called me into the cabin.
Round: HR Interview Experience: HR Round HR: Good afternoon Kiran and took the packet Me: I said good Afternoon HR: Now there will be a written test and that too MCQ type go through the question paper and answer them and you have 30 minutes. Me: I took the paper and sat in the place assigned and went through the paper and answered them and after the time is up I handed over the answer sheet HR: Please sit in the waiting room I will be back in few min.Me: I said Ok and waited in the waiting room. 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.
