The day unfolded beautifully! CF day as expected was a much awaited day. We all were looking forward to information as well as guidance to do well in the forthcoming placement season 5 months down the line. We were very curious and thanks to Rohit Gandhi, he catered to each and every question very patiently and openly. Post lunch session was amazing. I picked up finer points regarding what should a smart interviewee prepare on, before entering the interview room. Things such as proper company research, role research, product and services research beforehand instils confidence and helps a great deal. Mr. Prabhakar Tiwari shared with us that no matter how qualified one is, but still one has to prove his ability in the interview. He shared his own life experiences. The most beautiful part was that he emphasised on defining the basic things in life that matter for us, like Career. He made us think what is the definition of career, what career we should pursue and how each one of us is unique and thus needs to find out his own career path. He made me realize that at times in life, we get opportunities and our priorities change. He cited examples like Harsha Bhogle, Imran Khan and Steve Jobs. He shared a lot of insights into how one should prepare well beforehand on the typical interview questions. He also emphasised that interpersonal skills is one area one should really work on because it really matters at the work place. Last but not the least he made us think on the feet about some brands that we believe are under marketed and asked us to quickly frame up the Marketing plan for it. All in all a superb learning day. Thank you SOIL for providing me yet another day of immense learning and thank you Mr. Prabhakar Tiwari for coming to SOIL and sharing such interesting insights to build a successful career.
