“What is the biggest failure of your life?”
So asked the interview panelist, the student, a bit baffled,
“falling in love”. The panelist had no clue how to move the conversation
forward, in normal circumstances it would have been, what has been your
learning from the same.
“Why do you think it is a failure?”
“I lost the girl and my GPA”, now the panelist summoned the
courage, so what is your learning from this failure… “not to fall in love
again”
The second panelist asks the questions to the next student,
“Which author you like the most”
“Dan Brown”
“Name the last book you read”
“Fifty shades of grey”
The third panelist to the next student
“Which newspapers you read?”
“Page 3”
“Is there a newspaper like that?”
“Oh… sorry, I mean I read page 3 in all the newspapers”
Having been silent for a while, and feeling familiar with
the situation, the first panelist asks the question, “So what is happening in
Priyanka Chopra’s life?”
And, the student actually answers that question.
This was the interviewing that happened in a management
institute for the intake of first year students.
