Aspiring Minds: Tell us something about yourself and your career goals.

Vinodh: I did my BE in computer science and graduated in the year 2014. My goal was to secure a place in a good software company to kick start my career.

Aspiring Minds: What difficulties did you face while searching for a job and how did you overcame those difficulties?

Vinodh: I was unlucky because I didn't get through any of the company's placement process which came to my college. I knew I lack something but I was not able to figure that out. And after completing BE course, I decided to search job through off campus process. I attended many drives but the number of candidates attending those drives was too high and also weren’t organized properly. I was getting call only from voice process and BPO companies which were not in-line with my goals.

While I was searching for a job I came across AMCAT and decided to take AMCAT. I took the AMCAT test on 21^st Dec, 2013 and was amazed to see the feedback report. From this report, I easily spotted my weaknesses and started working on them. 

Aspiring Minds: Tell us about your experience post giving the AMCAT test and how AMCAT helped you in getting the job at HCL Technologies?

Vinodh: After the feedback report was given I was able to spot my weakness. AMCAT also recommended reading materials which was really helpful. I started receiving interview call letters from various companies and gained a lot of experience by attending those drives. Then I got interview call letter for HCL through AMCAT and was able to crack the interview.

Aspiring Minds: Would you suggest other job seekers to take AMCAT? If yes, why

Vinodh: Yes, I recommend job seekers to take AMCAT because most of the MNCs are now hiring only through AMCAT. So it’s highly recommended for getting a premium job offer. I would express this as "Like Jesus is the way to heaven, AMCAT is the way to premium jobs”.

Aspiring Minds: Would you like to share some tips which can help other job seekers in getting a good job?

Vinodh: Take AMCAT and study your feedback report carefully. Know your weakness and start working on them. Victory is sure :)
