What r yur strengths?
Do you know about the        bond with TCS?
What if we send u to Pakistan or timbaktoo?
(be        prepared for such question and smile a bit rather than laughing heavily        on such questions)

I asked 2        questions:
1. What will be my job profile and how do I see        my chances of growing in yur organization?
2. How do u see that yur        clients are satisfied with yur services and what r the parameters that        help u in doing it?
