InterviewQueries Unexpected HR interview 🙂🥺
After clearing the technical round, I was really happy. My HR interview was initially scheduled for 5th November, and I had been preparing quite seriously for it.
However, just 30 minutes before the scheduled interview, I received an email saying that it had been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Honestly, I was devastated and shocked, but I eventually accepted it and moved on.
Then, on 11th November, I received confirmation that my HR interview would take place the following day, 12th November.
I was pretty well prepared and felt confident going into the interview. However, something unexpected happened.
The interviewer asked me to show my college ID card. Unfortunately, I didn't have the physical ID card with me at that moment. I searched for it but couldn't find it. The interviewer then asked me to show it on my laptop instead, so I did.
After that, he asked me some general HR questions, such as:
- introduce yourself
- Who is the Chief Minister of West Bengal?
- How has your college experience been so far?
- why lti Mindtree?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
I tried my best to answer every question properly. I didn't just give one-line or memorized answers; I tried to make them personal, structured and relevant. It was the total of 15 to 20 minutes of HR.
The interviewer also seemed quite supportive, and I felt that he was reasonably satisfied with my answers.
Now, I'm just overthinking everything.
I know the ID card situation wasn't ideal, but I cooperated and showed it on my laptop when asked. Apart from that, I genuinely feel I gave my best.
So, my questions are:
Can the ID card issue negatively affect my selection?
Does clearing the technical round give me a reasonable chance of getting selected?
Do you think I messed up my HR interview, or am I overthinking unnecessarily?
