Common Sense

Recently I attended an interview with one of the top IT company at Bangalore. I was pretty excited after all technical rounds.Went for final HR interview. I will like to discuss my expereience in that.

Q1 : Why did you do Engineering and why Chemical Engineering

:O after 4.5 years of expereince I was least prepared for this question.wanted to say the truth that Engineering has better job prospects than any thing else.and enhances the IQ but gave some blah...


Q2:describe ur self in 5 adjectives!!!
again gave some blah

Q3: Why do u think u r Adj3.Proove by some condition.

Q4:What was your favourite subject.

I was getting so irritated on these Qs and then came the final one.

Qxx:You dont want to relocate to Delhi?

I said no.

She asked : Why?do you like blr?

said yes.

She asked : why?

said its safer than delhi.

She exlained it lil more : Oh yes it is safer as in south India people have more family values and r more conservative and are God fearing so crime is less.....


I got really shocked at this explaination and asked her again what exactly she meant.people in North have no values?
She tend to say the same thing.Finally, interrupted her in between and explained her that every person has values.Its not about region .But its about conditions. Typically in Delhi people come from remote regions and people are illitrate and unemployed .People are poor and so their conditons are pathetic .So crime rate is more.

explained this to her and walked off.

I was really shocked the way she said this.i was thinking how could a well educated person who is representing a company can make a statement like this.

I think need to improve our education system a lot . Or its just the sense of speaking right at the right place,which no education provides.I call it commmon sense which is really not so common.
