It was my holidays time and I was having best relaxing days at home.
Being a lazy guy, I opt not to shave for many days as I knew there are going to
be no more meetings or guests coming up at my home. My mom pressed me many
times to remove this stubble wild from your face and look like a normal living
being but who cares when it is holidays. Before the holidays got over, I got an
email from our campus resource department to send our resume for internship
opportunities in Sales and Marketing with various companies across Delhi and
national capital region. I never took this activity seriously and send my
resume without a photo. After few days, one of the companies told me to show up
for formal interview process.
Being the brightest student among my batch mate and being the
topper, I was little over confident and did not do much preparation for the interview.
The reporting time was 9.30 am in the morning and I thought I would reach the
destination at right time. I slept late before the interview day as I went to
party with my friends and came back around 1 am. Next morning, I woke around 8
am as I forgot about the interview. But, I got ready within half an hour and
packed my resume and everything. While going to the railway station, I knew
something was wrong and missing today. As I checked my bag, I found my wallet
missing and had less cash with me. Then the other thing struck my mind, I
forgot to shave today and that too when I have to face the interview. With
little regret on my face, I reached the railway station. The chain of errors
continued and by the time, I reached the railway station, the train had already
left the station. But somehow the train stopped after moving for 500 m and I
kept running towards the track and finally boarded it.
I reached the company regional office around 0945 am and felt
relieved seeing the other candidates still waiting. Thereafter few minutes, a
gentleman came and took our resumes. We were called one after the other and
then my turn came. I went in and there was introduction session. Without even
starting with the interview, he told me that you are not ready for interview. I
could sense that my stubble had left a bad impression on him. He was upset and
told me that they are looking for good candidates but also people who take
their personality and grooming.
Feeling little disappointed, I greeted the interviewer and
realized my mistake. I reached home around 2 pm and first thing I did was
clearing my stubble look. It was good lesson for me and from that whole
incident.
