Recently I was part of a campus hiring exercise. Reminded me of my first interview during college. Compared to other students in my MCA batch, I was among few who had a good computer/coding background.
During MCA also, I was fond of coding and picked up on many software technologies popular at that time. Was good at Algorithms, data structures; all appealed naturally to me.
While going for the interview I was quite confident. But a few minutes into the discussions I realized my level, rather how vast the software industry. Was not selected, another batch-mate made it, which was a further blow to my confidence. No, I was not jealous, I felt good for him.
Though sad for the whole way back home, it was the best lesson for my professional life ahead. No matter what you know, how much you are prepared, there will still be a lot to cover. There will still be failures.
Learn and move ahead…
