They were discussing with themselves for some seconds. Finally, head of the panel(M2) told me that, Balaji you are the person sitting like an interviewer, and we the people who are attending interview to you. Once again, they all are laughing at me. Finally, the panel members told me All the very best.
Me: Thank You so much sirs and Thank you mam.
F1 didn’t ask any questions to me. She was just staring at me or she might be the silent observer I think. M4 is the man who makes fun of me. M1 is the man who helped me a lot while i am answering.
My whole interview went like GD. I have faced so many cross questions. My whole interview was in Tamil only. Do well guys…
Thank You Balaji for sharing your Interview Experience with us.
All the Best :)
