Abhishek Srivastava

Abhishek Srivastava, NMIMS mumbai. He was born and brought up in a place called Jharsuguda in Odisha and was working for TCS in Bangalore. He joined me post CAT for GDPI preparation. He had quit his job for the preparation and had only one call NMIMS, Mumbai. So basically a do or die situation. When he first came to me and i talked to him, he had below average communication skills. It was impossible to crack the interview with that. I told him to work on it and kept giving him some homework on a daily basis for the same. In 2 weeks he improved a lot and next day was the interview day. He had definitely worked really hard, he moved from below average to average but that was definitely not sufficient in this competitive scenario. So I told him that when you introduce yourself, tell them that you are aware that you don’t have great communication skills but still you are proud of it; owing to where you started and where you have reached and that you are still improving. I also gave him couple of other basic hygiene tips. After the interview, he called and told me that the interviewers were really happy with his introduction. When the final results were out, he had converted that one call he got.
