pre-placement talks

Mondays are no longer Mundane! Hi all and welcome to Eloquence- The public Speaking Club’s very own pre-placement talk. We hope you’re all in appropriate dress code “room casuals” and will ask us “informative questions”- we’re a very “global” club. It’s that time of year when first year students flood CRs and the IMDC to hear recruiters talk about their professions and fellow students pitch their views through the most creative CP they can conjure (read confabulate). And the answers heard often leave the poor students even more confused than before the question was asked. Fret not! We, at Eloquence, have come up with the one-stop guide to answer all PPT related queries: “The PPT Translator- disrobe the globe”. Recruiters can be difficult to understand sometimes. Here’s a snippet of what “The PPT Translator- disrobe the globe” can do for you: STATEMENTS TRANSLATION 1. “This profession opens up a number of opportunities for interfacing with doyens across myriad sectors” 2. “At the end of the day, it’s about making a tangible impact” 3. “Our firm promotes based on pure meritocracy” 4. “The difference between us and our competitors is the people at our firm” 5. “We have arranged refreshments for you” 6. “Work-life balance is really up to you. It’s all down to how much time you’re willing to sacrifice” 1. You meet people 2. I don’t remember what the question was but this sounds like a good answer so I’ll go with this 3. You will never get promoted before me so don’t even think about it 4. I heard this in a PPT myself and liked it- so I’ll go with it. It sounds cool 5. We have, really, arranged refreshments for you 6. Work-life balance? Lol And now, from our very own students- such magical CP that even recruiters are left bewildered. We’ve read our compatriots’ minds for them: STUDENTS’ CP TRANSLATION 1. “Where do you see this industry in the next 5 years?” 2. “Do you operate along multiple verticals?” 3. “Can you tell us about your best case?” 4. “It’s an interesting career choice that you made at XYZ point in your life.. can you tell us more about it?” 5. “Describe a typical day in the life of a *insert profession here*” 6. “Do you hire for ABC job profile also?” 1. I need to put CP, I need to put CP, I need to put CP 2. I bet some of that made sense because he seems to be answering seriously 3. I sincerely hope this is a consulting firm 4. I’m so the BOSS. I was actually listening when he was rambling during the PPT about himself. I hope someone is noting this down 5. YES! I’ve contributed! 6. TRANSLATION: I know they don’t hire for ABC, but they have to know I know about the ABC job profile Hope that was a breezy way to get Monday off to a start! Don’t take Placement so seriously, we Eloquencians say! Or if you do, make you sure you pay $15.99 ONLY for “The PPT Translator- disrobe the globe” and get your own “global” question bank free of charge! Cheers!
