"There is no pause to success, when you get determined"

Ms. Tulika Sneha, XISS Batch - 2016-2018, shares her experience on bagging a PPO from Tata Steel

#StudentSpeaks #XISSRanchi

A graduate in Botany stepped foot in the Xavier Institute of Social Service on 18^th of June 2016. Given the background of her education she was in great dilemma whether she’ll be able to bag a job on campus or will be thrown out of the selection procedures for the afore mentioned reason. But none the less she stared her 2yr long journey with a determination to stay on top of her class and show to all how serious she was about her decision of choosing XISS as a launch pad for her career in corporate. With time came the placement season and after clearing her psychometric test of Tata Steel she sat for her GD/PI. The interview was short which made her nervous if it meant bad, but the results came and she got through along with 2 of her classmates. 

The Big day was celebrated along with the “Diwali Celebration” at her Social Service Field Work Centre which made it all the more special. That nervous botany graduate was me, Tulika Sneha of HRM 2016-18.

            My experience of working at Tata Steel for 2months was splendid. It was a work full of challenges which I already expected since TSL gave us live projects. The guidance of my mentors, my hard work and the blessings of my parents and professors finally paid off when on 18^th August 2017 I received the mail of being offered the PPO. I couldn’t be happier and I know now that this is the place where anyone can make a fresh start to a happy new journey in the corporate world. And today I stand at a place where I can give a few tips to the juniors- 

*You will not be judged on your educational background so it doesn’t matter if you have a B.Sc or B.A or B.Tech degree, just be through with your subject matter, Past as well as Present one.

*Be confident in the interview, the length of your PI is not proportionate to its quality.

Also work with all your might in your SIP, these two months will give you a lot to learn. All the best to the juniors for their summer placements as well as the second year for their final placements.
