My Second Interview: Technical

This one was supposed to be penned a month back. But owing to my JAVA learning spree, I was able to spill my words only now. My second interview occurred without much fanfare in the last week of August. Though being a Graduate of Telecommunications, many wondered (even myself) how could I manage in a job that

is purely IT based. I knew pretty well, the interviewers were not very much impressed by my technical armory, but rather on my CRM skills. I did not realize that my CRM skills would fetch me a technical job and most amazingly in IT. I got a positive nod after a couple of days. Being a true scorpion at times, I called back my interviewer and questioned him, "Afterall, why me?” He was taken back a bit but answered

casually, "Sri! I was worse than you when I stepped in IT, as my field was basically mechanical engineering". (Hmmm!!! So I was worse. Is it?).My Boss posed to be a archetype for my budding IT career. I always sport a look which resembles a great fervor for learning. I think he was "bowled over" by my "seemed- to- know" answers. When I stepped into my new office, I could not even find a single young soul around me. I was extremely fascinated by the way a software team works on a project which was GREEK, SPANISH, and FRENCH to me. Its still is. I could see grey-haired experience, technical skills ubiquitously strewn through out my office. Keeping a low profile at this juncture won’t cost your life. For the past one month, "Learn to Survive"

has become my karmic chant. I am on a song these days, enjoying my new job, new friends (actually bit old!!!). On the whole, inspite of being bit late, I got it.
