Things started when v, around seven f our frens, met in a marriage reception of co-fren’s bro dis Sunday. We were actually discussing how v try and kill time (indirectly abt our vettiness) and discussing abt our DOJ’s.Suddenly struck wit an idea of joinin any BPO r Call Centre, until we get our DOJ…
So plans were made to get into a BPO.Now d search for an actually gud BPO began. I got a reference thru ma coz who’s been wit a popular BPO for almost 6 years. And v,5 f us, planned to attend the interview process on Tuesday…
V wr asked 2 b der by 11.30.Once v reached d place, with the help f ma coz v got into d reception and submitted our resumes wit some reference person’s name headin each f our resumes…
It all began at dat stroke.V wr waitin 4 d so-called Online registration alone 4 almost an hour. Aft registerin ourselves thru online, v wr given an application no. and again wr asked to wait…
Dis time v r given seats to at least prevent our legs from aching. Aft another 30 min, v wr all called in. A lady, who’s postin says HR, but appears to b a lower rank candidate wit her communication gav us a topic lik “Speak on ur fav fruit” and asked each f us to hav our say…I don how she evaluated us based on 3-4 sentences v spoke…
She categorized us into Voice and Non Voice.2 f us wr into Voice and 3 wr into Non voice. (It’s ridiculous to segregate ppl based on d topic which almost 80% ll hav d same thought).V preferred to hav Voice kinda CS 4 all f us. Then on, v wr asked to meet another HR...
Again a lady, dis time indirectly instead f makin us wait, asked us to hav our lunch n return. Again another hour passed, the clock struck 3, v checked in.Dis time I was clld in first.
Luck d HR was a guy. He questioned me so many things like y do u wanna get into BPOs, wt r
The Clock struck 4.30.Ma coz gav a review as v 2, who got selected 4 Voice, wr into FSG process in dat voice category and d othr 3 wr put into Nonvoice f smeothr process.
Of d 3, 1 f ma fren got frustrated n left d place insistin dat he needs Voice based n xpressn dat he s given his best in d 1-1 HR…
Now wit 4 f us left…d 2 who got Nonvoice dint lik d offr gvn to dem eithr...Dey thou8 f leavin...But v both insisted dem to stay, sayin dat v r gonna b in d job 4 max of 3 months...den dos 2 wr given sme topic each n wr askd to write 15 lines on dem…
V both wr asked to go to anthr branch f d ofis, almost 25kms frm der.v wr askd to report at dat place by 8pm.The clock showed 1ly 5...V decided to wait up der n leave around 6.30…
Aft a small chit-chat v 4 had, 2 f us left to d ofis dat v wr askd to report to…d othr lost all hopes and stayed der 1ly upon our request…
V strtd a bit early dan planned time and reached d main ofis at 7... Wow wt an environ der...Gr8 buildin, xcellent infra...God 4 a moment I thou8 me in Heaven... (But l8r realized dat Appearance Deceives)...V actually waitd der til 9.30 and observed how EMP atten to calls. It was a bit interstin at d strt but as time tickled I got boredom and strtd ma usual mess’ng in ma mob...
I jus thou8 dat it was quite an odd time 2 hav an interview. Well may b, dat cud b d company s norms...Ma fren got fed up and insisted on leavin…But I persisted him to jus hold on 4 anthr 10min r so… (D reason bein dat v needed an access card to get out f d place...v r in a kinda f jail, locked inside)...Exactly aft 15 min d guy came and clld us…
Even who’s supposed to b HR Manager, asked us d same kinda quest wt r
Dis time I got annoyed n told d HR directly dat v hav b’n waitin 4 almost 2 hrs 4 him n v hav b’n replying 2 same kinda quest frm mrg...Atlast aft cmpltn all dos Nonsense v strtd to our homes. Guess wt was time…it was almost 10.30
I jus said ma fren wen it s takin so much time 2 cmplte an intrvw process to get an offr evn wen v hav a refernce,jus imagine d plight of poor ones who don hav reference…
The HR asked us to come for an apti round d next day, which was supposed to be just eyewash...
Othr 2 frens who wr giving their last round got rejected cuz one of dem got so pissed off that he spoke arrogantly to the HR. So I and other guy too dropped the idea of joining as we had lost the interest. V jus rejected d offr…
N came to a conclusion dat v wud better stay at home idle til our DOJ dan to get annoyed by d happenings in and around BPOs…
