Job Hunt

This is my latest experience and learning. Working in the same company, which is my first as well, from the last 4 years this is the first time i am trying for a Job Change. Reason is simple, I want more money.

Being in this company i dont know how but People have a feeling that i am good at my work, so I enjoy a lot of flexibilities e.g. My day at work starts at 1:00 PM when most of my friends and colleagues give a finish to their half day, some with Chicken Briyani and some with Fruit bowl or Fresh salad. And over it my day ends with them :)

But the desire of more money compelled me to leave these comforts and look out for a change. So I made an impressive resume (obviously i searched an impressive one on google and just made some modification). And then my experience and learning starts......

FIRST
Experience: This was with "Tech Mahindra". So the HR Called me and told me that my telephonic interview is scheduled on the following saturday at 12:00noon. On Saturday I being in the impression that i know a lot just looked at my resume and waited for the call but the call dint come at 12. I waited for another one hour but no call came. I became furious at "Tech Mahindra" and thought inside that what a mistake these guys are doing. I instead of feeling sorry for my self started feeling sorry for them.

At around 2:00 PM me and my wife left home to visit Art of Living Ashram. And on the way i got the call from the interviewer and the conversation follows

Me(in a firm voice): The HR told me that the interview is at 12. I waited for 2 hours and now am not in a position to attend the interview.
Interviewer(politely): So can I call you in evenig some time?
Me(in firm voice): See i am driving now. Can you call me later?
Interviewer(a bit frustrated): Ok, No Problem, Thanks!

The call was over and from that day till today i have mailed the HR many times, given my resume to the consultancies for Tech M a lot of times. But niether the HR called nor the Consultancies were able to upload my resume again as its already in their database.

Learning: Never ever talk rude to the interviewer. Its you who needs the Job more than they need you.

SECOND
Experience: The next good (or bad) experience was with "HUAWEI". The HR called me and
HR : We found your resume interesting. Will you be interested in an opportunity with "Huawei"
Huawei, i knew it pays damn good, i was excited and as learnt from my prior experience i replied very politely
Me : yes, Ofcourse!
HR : Can you come for a Face 2 Face tomorrow evening?
Me : aaa.. is it possible in morning? i have to be in office in evening time.
HR : Ok, i will call you back in some time...
Me : One sec, Hello... Hello.... Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo

And the HR never called :( i mailed her again and again but she never replied!!

Learning: If its a company which pays very well then it wont be having many openings. So agree to their schedule until its impossible.

THIRD
Experience: This time my encounter was with "ACCENTURE". Company which is still hiring people from my technology in bulk. They scheduled my telephonic interview on a weekday and like Tech M I waited for their call for very long. But you know what!! I am still waiting for their call! They havent called me yet and again the same story of no response for my mails from the HR.

Learning: If Chitrakoot(the god/devil who is in charge of destiny/luck of all) is standing against you, there is nothing you can do except waiting for him to sleep so that you can steal a chance from him.

Apart from these i was selected/rejected in few but the negotiations didnt go well.

To sum up,
--> I am still waiting for the correct opportunity.
--> A software engineer shouldnt think that he is working on something similar to 'Rocket Science'. A Software Engineer's job is very trivial and that makes all software engineers alike. And thats why, its just the attitude and luck that matters in a software Engineer's life. We should understand this and "Isliye Humein apni AUKAAT mein rahna chahiye"
