MY INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE WITH ORACLE – DREAM BIG, DREAM ORACLE

                The whole thing started a few weeks ago when we were informed that ORACLE systems will be there in our campus for recruiting.  As everyone know ORACLE is a pretty interesting place to work and the interview process is not going to be easy, I was up for a challenge and said I should go ahead. I prepared setting myself a target, because ORACLE was not just any company but was a dream for me.

                We had our online aptitude test on 6^th AUG and the interview process was on 11^th Aug, more than 200 people wrote online test on 6^th and we were informed that the results will be after 2-3 days. After writing the aptitude test I was feeling bit confident to get shortlisted as my aptitude went well and still we had to eagerly wait for the shortlist. On 9^th when the result came I was really happy to see my name in the list. Only 20 were shortlisted from all the 200+ students who had attended the process. I knew it was just the beginning and I have a big hurdle to cross ahead of me to make my dream come true.

                And then came the big day, 11^th AUG, it started with company PPT and then the interviews started after that. Waiting for my turn to give interview, I prepared myself  to face the interview confidently. But the story was all different when my turn came, I was bit nervous, maybe because it was a big day in my life. But when I started with my introduction I was feeling comfortable, the recruiting team was so cool that they made me comfortable, all of them were so friendly that I had no more nervousness talking to them. I did well in first round, after the first round I had 3 more rounds of interview back to back. From one round to another I was doing well and was keeping myself cool. After 4 technical rounds I was called for HR and their were casual questions and it too went well.

                And then it was results, we were waiting outside and it was the toughest time in the whole interview process. Minutes were starting to seem like seconds and it was same with everyone who was waiting along with me. Finally they called us inside to give our results. My name was second in the list out of only two who got selected. I just don’t know what all happened in that room that day after announcements, I was enjoying the moment, I was in my own world, I was on cloud9 . The feeling that I will be an ORACLEite from that moment was awesome.  Looking forward have some great time and experience at ORACLE.
