The Dream Job

This was right after I did the Yes+ (Youth Empowerment Skills workshop of the Art of Living Foundation) Course six years back. I did the course while I was in the second year of my P.G (MCA) & it was placement season then. I had to clear a backlog paper of the previous semester so I thought I hardly had any chance of being eligible for any good company’s placement process. Three reputed IT MNC’s came to our campus in a week’s time & I was eligible for only one of them. But I couldn’t go beyond the aptitude test round for that company. Then came the news that Infosys Technologies had selected our college for the very first time to be part of its mass recruitment drive. Usually the eligibility criteria for Infosys are such that only the above average grade students become eligible for placements. I couldn’t even imagine myself for it. But to my surprise, their eligibility criteria that year was like tailor made for me to become eligible for their process. I couldn’t believe it. The Guru had started working His magic.

I double checked the criteria with my placement manager. I had a backlog and my aggregate was less than first class & still I became eligible which was a complete shock for me (I was thoroughly over joyed on being able to sit for the Infosys placement process) & envy for many, because many of the eligible students of my class had already got placed in the first three companies & were not allowed to apply now.

The selection process of Infosys is such that they have some famous puzzle problems in their aptitude testing round which are quite tricky & difficult to crack and also their technical interviews are very challenging. That’s what I had read on the Internet and heard from people who had applied in previous years. But this year, they had changed their testing pattern. The nerve wracking puzzles & technical interviews were out. This was a great piece of news for me as it gave wings to my hope of getting selected. After attending their pre placement presentation, I thought it would be an unbelievable thing if I get through. For me it would be nothing less than a dream-come-true to be working at Infosys Technologies and I was really hoping and praying to Sri Sri for the same. A job at Infosys was all that was on my mind at that time. It would be a great boost for my career and professional life ahead.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my name amongst the three students from my class who had been shortlisted for the interview and the final round. I double, triple checked the list to confirm that it was my name only on it. And yes, it was my name indeed. The interview went off very well, luckily no difficult questions were asked and I was more than happy to answer any other questions. Again this suited me as I was not quite comfortable to appear for a technical round.

Finally, all three of us were selected and were the first batch of students from my college to make it to Infosys Technologies. Truly a miracle had happened for me. I got my dreamj job!!  Also, Infosys did not turn up the next year for my junior’s batch. So it was just a one off chance for our college. I was new to the spiritual path then and was not aware that Sri Sri had set it up for Me!!!

Thank you so much Guruji for all your love and grace. Thank you for such a beautiful miracle in my life.

With hard work, dedication in whatever I do and faith in my Master, who loves each and everyone so much, I am sure the best is always reserved for us and we are taken care of
