Interview Responses (real life)

[T-Mac]

here are some of real life instances during campus placement interviews. these happened to ppl i know. Mind u, tensions and nervousness run real high during these times. so u shudnt be surprised if u get the silliest answer from even the classes toppers

1 - happened to a friend of mine:
Infy Interviewer (after a series of questions) : How do u vary the speed of the synchronous motor?
My friend: After a lenghty explanation, with examples and with a big grin of accomplishment, concludes his answer. The interviewer, after listening patiently, responds, "my friend, its a synchronous motor. U cannot vary the speed of a synchronous motor." Clean Bowled! hyeah:
(Suffice to say, he still made it in that interview. With the next few questions, he completely bowled over the panel!!!)

2. happened to my classmate (Electronics & Communication branch). That semester we had a subject called "Professional COmmunication and Report Writing, basically a grammar-cum-letter-cum-thesis-writing english course.

TI Interviewer : What are the different types of communication?
My nervous friend: After thinking for a while - Oral and Written communication.
The whole panel burst out laughing. The answer they were expecting - Wired & WIreless Communication. :rofl:

3. Happened to a friend's friend:
Mindtree Interviewer: Where r u from?
After patiently listening to the student's geographical and ancestral history, the interviewer responded - "I meant which branch u r from." :
