Info Edge was looking out for a fresher to fill the position of a Content Operations Executive. When I went through the job description, I felt my skill sets were a perfect match for the opening. Since I always had a knack for writing and had been an avid reader all my life, I felt I could do justice to the job role. Besides, I had already graduated out of college by then and had successfully completed content writing internships at 2 startups. It was finally time for me to get into the mainstream workforce.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_of_my_application_process\"><\/span><strong><u>Steps of my application process<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>First of all, I created an account on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">naukri.com\/campus<\/a> and also on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Naukri.com<\/a>. I have seen several of my relatives and friends landing great jobs through Naukri. They always praise the effectiveness of this portal. So, this time around, I wanted to try it out for myself. I polished my profile on both the sites and waited for a while. Eventually I started receiving relevant job alerts.<\/p>\n<p>On the very next day, I received emails and calls for job interviews. I attended most of them and sadly, got rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Then I started searching for openings on Naukri with relevant filters to avoid calls from BPOs and KPOs. Being a B. Tech in Computer Science, I was keen about software engineering jobs. Yet on Naukri I came to know that I am eligible for openings in testing, quality assurance, database and networking as well! Eventually, I started attending interviews, but I would face elimination in the last round.<\/p>\n<p>Still I kept attending an interview a day. I also came to know that some companies demand for money to hire freshers! For a period of 16 to 17 days, this story kept rolling, until a friend advised me to venture into SEO &amp; Digital Marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Then I applied for 2 other openings and thankfully got selected in both! The first company\u2019s HR asked for my original marksheets and also to sign a bond as an \u2018SEO Trainee\u2019. The second company offered a very meagre package and neither suited my needs.<\/p>\n<p>So, I kept applying as my family advised and eventually got selected for the post of an \u2018e-commerce executive\u2019. I was very happy with the profile and agreed to join. Since it was my first job, I gave in my 100%. But the project wrapped up and the entire department had to resign.<\/p>\n<p>After months of hard work, I was back to being jobless once again. On a brighter note, the situation was not entirely same as now I had acquired 6-months of valid experience. I felt confident and more enthusiastic than ever before. I once again updated my resume on Naukri and this time I got multiple mails for job interviews.<\/p>\n<p>I was interviewed at \u2018Info Edge India Ltd.\u2019 and got selected for the position.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interview_Rounds\"><\/span><strong><u>Interview Rounds<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The following rounds were conducted at Info Edge India Ltd. for the position of a Content Operations Executive.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Aptitude test<\/strong> \u2013 This round comprised of questions about basic mathematical aptitude and logical reasoning.<br \/>\n<strong>Group discussion<\/strong> \u2013 The topic was very general. I readily gave the introduction, i.e. I was the first person to speak up in my group. Probably that is the reason why I got selected for the next round.<br \/>\n<strong>HR round<\/strong> \u2013 This was a simple face-to-face personal interview. Questions asked were very commonplace and anyone who is confident can easily tackle them.<br \/>\n<strong>Communication test<\/strong> \u2013 This was conducted in the end to check my vocabulary and speaking skills. I was asked to speak and write for a few minutes on a certain topic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CInterview_questions_I_faced_in_the_HR_round_and_how_I_answered_them%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong><u>&#8220;Interview questions I faced in the HR round and how I answered them&#8221;<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I was asked multiple questions pertaining to my background, family, hometown and career goals. The interview process lasted for a whole day. It was a thorough and in-depth screening process and I am glad that I made it.<\/p>\n<p>I was also asked some common HR interview questions, as listed below.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Tell me about yourself?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I answered like this. \u201cHello, my name is Rohan. This is the first time I am introducing myself formally and I am honestly very excited. So, here\u2019s my story. I have been good in studies throughout my school and college days. I secured 79% in CBSE 10<sup>th<\/sup> board and 93% in 12<sup>th<\/sup> U.P. board exams. But I have a tiny weakness and that is my spoken English. As a result, despite being a good student, I always suffered from low self-confidence. But I have been working towards improving it by attending personality development seminars and reading a lot.<\/p>\n<p>After 12<sup>th<\/sup>, I joined Banasthali University, Jaipur to pursue B. Tech in Computer Science. Genuinely speaking, I did not enjoy coding. Still, I went for CS due to family pressure. After 4 years, I finally made up my mind that coding does not make me happy but writing does! My B. Tech CGPA is just 6.9 on 10. And I could not clear a single campus placement interview.<\/p>\n<p>After B. Tech, I moved to Noida permanently. As a fresher, I was very na\u00efve and kept attending pointless interviews, until I received some offers. I realized that Digital Marketing and SEO is something I enjoy doing and that is why I am here today.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Why should we hire you?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe job profile you are interviewing me for is exactly what I want to do at present. Besides, I feel my skill sets and previous experience are highly relevant. I am confident that I can surely help your organization achieve business goals in some manner or the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Why do you want to join this company?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI am a fan of Naukri.com and FirstNaukri.com. Till date, whatever interview calls and job offers I have received are through them. These portals are big time life savers for all the freshers out there who are looking to start their career journey. You are doing a very noble job, as in you are helping people in India find their dream job. I really want to become a part of this positive revolution and see a better employed India with you, in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>How soon can you join us?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as you want me to! Actually, I am ready when you are. I am a fresher and just out of college and I am eagerly looking for an opportunity in a reputed company, such as yours to jump-start my professional career journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Give an example how you handled stress.<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI already explained in my introduction how I was depressed after getting rejected in campus placement interviews. I was under a lot of stress and have never felt so dejected in my life. Yet, my optimism and never-die-attitude helped me overcome that dark phase as well as handle stress smoothly.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Describe your personality.<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cBasically, I am a social butterfly and highly optimistic. I love to seek new challenges and opportunities to test my threshold capacity from time to time. That is the reason why I am into adventure sports! I feel motivated due to the adrenaline rush from bungee jumping, trekking, zip-lining and other such activities. On the other hand, I am also a home-loving soul and very close to family.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_learnings_from_this_placement_interview_experience\"><\/span><strong>My learnings from this placement interview experience <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nApproach your interviewer with a slight smile. I did.<br \/>\n \tStay focused, be honest and do not lie.<br \/>\n \tWork on your English fluency as much as possible as your communication skills carry the maximum marks.<\/li>\n<p> \tTry to be polite while speaking to the interviewer and do not get defensive while answering the HR.<\/li>\n<p>Lastly, I would like to reiterate that I was selected amidst multiple candidates for the profile of a Content Operations Executive at Info Edge India Ltd. Today, I am very happy with my career. Though I did not make it in a campus placement interview, I successfully acquired experience, knowledge and work exposure all by myself. Thanks to Naukri and Firstnaukri.<\/p>\n<p>Had I cracked an on-campus placement drive, I wouldn\u2019t have been able to develop such a dynamic personality. I have actually learnt a lot in this job-search phase of my life. Today, I am a very confident person, ready to deal with any type of situation. I possess the talent and a confidence to crack any interview on my own (without any reference).<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, I am thankful to my parents, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.naukri.com\/campus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Naukri.com<\/a> for their complete support.
