one interview

few days back i was interviewed by one company futures first working in derivative trading. just after written test we were told- you have interviews right now, without any prior information. we even didn't prepare for that.

interviewer was iit delhi 2004 passout so it was quite obvious that he started gossiping with me.

questions started like this..
tell me about our company?
becoz i got mail in the evening and morning we had exam, and as i m lazy so i hadn't looked at their site as well. so my obvious answer was, i don't know much about ur company except it is doing some trading.

he was shocked, what the hell r u doing here if you don't know abt our company, next question was - tell me ur interest?
uff this is very difficult question for me, becoz my interest doesn't stick to one subject. it keeps on changing day by day...fortunately that day my interest was in finance, so i told my interest is in finance, marketing or trading etc etc.

so he told me...wat !! which one is ur interest-either finance or marketing or trading, so i replied finance, so he told me-" we r working in derivative trading, do u know this...and it is different from finance" , i was now confused, wat ?

anyway he kept on moving with next question, do u know something about trading etc.?
it was now out of limit, i was again forced to tell him that sorry i am fresher in this field and just becoz i m curious to know all these things i am changing my field.

ok, then why do u want to change from ibm to our company?
yeah this was gud question and i answered very well...NOT FUNNY...he was happy with my answer.

then he told me, do one thing, i m giving you some references , read this, and prepare for interview and go through our site and we will reshedule your interview...don't worry it doesn't matter you know all these things...this job doesn't need any priror knowledge
-so i told him, "i don't know about your company" if this is the only reason for resheduling this interview, could you please tell me something abt ur company and check skills that you want to check, becoz i don't want to delay this process, becoz for today's test i had to take leave....so he told me don't worry, we work here till 11:30PM, you can come after your office time as well...
then again i forced him...could you please make it telephonic-
no no , i don't want to make it telephonic.

uff, i later on decided not to go there and mailed them, right now i can't change my company, i would surely like to contact you in near future, thanks for selecting me for this interview.

May be this is looking like i was over confidence or i was showing off, no actually i had already decided not to join this company, becoz their timings were very hectic 11:30am to 10:30pm in winters and 11:30pm in summers...and pay scale was also not gud, and all these i got to know after giving test...so i didn't have any choice except to attend the interview, i was just giving answers normally which were correct in itself - nothing wrong in those answer.
