A flashback!!!
Location: RMD Engineering college
Day: Sunday
The venue is all set for Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS) campus interview. Student who have arrived early at the campus are tensed, worried and preparing hard. Some gentlemen who arrive at the college gates and identify themselves as HR’s of CTS. The security sees that some of them are wearing T-Shirts and calls the management. The management strictly says that T-shirts are prohibited in RMD and RMK engineering colleges. So unless the HRs wore formal shirts, they cant enter the campus for conducting the interview. Angry they said that CTS would never come for interview in those two colleges anymore and went away.
Fast forward!!!
Location: RMD Engineering college
Day: Sunday
I arrive at the college as a representative of Microsoft to take session for their students; there were nearly 20 of us and
others were already inside. (how I managed to reach the college is another story, will tell that sometime later)Unfortunately I was not aware of the above mentioned incident and was wearing a Microsoft T-shirt. The security stops me and enquire who I am. I show my card with says “Microsoft Student Partner” and inform him that I have come to take session. He calls the management and inform them that a guy has come from Microsoft to take session, but that he is wearing TShirt. Without any more questions, they promptly allowed me inside the campus. ![]()
Needless to say, the other 19 friends who had come to take session were wearing formal shirts coz they knew about how strict the college was! I enjoyed a good time being the centre of attraction probably because I was the first living soul to enter that campus wearing a Tshirt.
:P
Brandname Microsoft always wins!!!
