Summer placements.....blow hot, blow cold...

Summers as we call it, is a 5 week project carried out in Module 4 of the MBA course at NITIE(starts usually around April...) Usually all B-schools have this concept, so wats great or special about it?? Lemme give a peek into what it means for a first yr B-school student and my general funda.....

Summer placements in a B-school are mixed with a lot of feelings- anxiety, frustration, desperation, hope, anger, happiness, relief, satisfaction...... All these are faced for the entire period of day or two during which the placements take place...it comes all over again and again couple them with GD's and interviews. One has a feeling that after coming to a B-school its a full stop to GD's, Interviews, etc. But the problem is it only gets worse and worse...

I faced the same set of emotions for the last few days....its frustrating to see some things just not going right and some other things simply clicking even without trying. I find these placements just as a game of cards. The connoisseur at the game will always win. All that matters is how you position yourself....how you sell youself to the companies, donno if its good or bad...

Well coming back, summers are always an opportunity for ppl to try out different fields....say a guy with experience in manufacturing will want to do his summers in an IT firm or vice versa....they also are an opportunity to get into the company through the PPO route....so guys are damn serious when it comes to competing for the best jobs....

I had some very bitter-sweet experiences for past few days, will be a good reading if i write down my experiences......but again, where's the time? and why bore everyone with funny and frustrating experiences......

Yeah the main thing is, i made it to Wipro-Marketing.....lets see wat's in store....!
