As was expected, I didn’t clear the test for the company (that is in college today for recruitments) but the problem is that they short listed only 7 people from our class for interview. This means they will take only 2-3 finally. That means still the competition will remain virtually same for the next company and after looking at the test today, now I know it will be very very very difficult for me in the next company (which is also core Electronics Company).
Though there is a feeling inside that why I wasted two whole months (and I still believe that I could have perform better if had prepared even a bit in holidays). But then I also know it’s nothing strange for me. In fact I am still waiting for an occasion where I can say that I had prepared very hard for this thing and now I am getting the results! Most of the times I have got results without any effort. Though in the end I always feel that I could have performed better, but mostly I have been in a comfortable enough position to justify my inaction. Let’s hope it changes soon!
Now I have to complete 2-3 books (of Digital, Analog and Verilog) in 4 days!!
Although even the above sentence shows how bleak my chances are but still everybody has a right to have dreams, how wild they may be and how undeserving they themselves may be! Let me hope that by studying for 4 days I can beat people who have been working hard for 3-4 months!!
oh! sorry about that. :(. but there will be other, better chances.
at this point i cannot go away without lecturing- just because i identify with your posts so much- i know the feeling of wasting time, then pulling it off ‘pretty well’ inspite of wasting all that time, sometimes missing it and feeling bad, and regretting, or almost scared of regretting the waste of time i indulged in.
You are right, you can do in 4 days what others did in 3 - 4 months. you just have to put your mind to it. 100%
that said, some day, this will catch up with you. and given that it’s such a competitve world out there, a little bit of discipline and dedicated effort will take you a long way, and prevent the misses from happening.
good luck, work hard. because now is the time to do so.
lekchar khatam. u may wake up now
Dont worry… sometimes the best ones come in the last.
You dont have to cram urself with the concepts of Verilog, if I remember correctly its like C only.. so just be ware of the logics.. thts all.
Do well in the next…:)
all the best!!!!!!
TGFI and SG
