Hurray I got into SATYAM.
Peers I am harsha here, a 2003 batch- telecom fresher. I attended the SATYAM test on November 1st .the venue of the test was PESIT College , Bangalore.
At last I could make it . I would like to thank Friends madam, the group and also SURENDRA. IfFriends madam had not started this group, we could not
have got the information about the recruitment in other Companies. She has been the person behind every one\'s success in this group.
Then I will thank you guys. Many people gave the info about the recruitment. Many gave previous papers. Many more gave the test papers after they wrote the test. Last but not least , SURENDRA reddy sir. He was always a source of inspiration to me. Whenever I feel depressed about not getting a job, I would read the sayings which he would send. that helped me a lot even when a bad time was going.
Friends madam gave me opportunities, you peers gave me information and Surendra sir - he is my guru who gave me additional strength.
Peers don\'t think I got a lot of opportunities to write the test . I have written only 5 tests in last 4 months. I roamed, went to almost every company, dropped hardcopy of my resume. I applied to whatever id I got from the group. Even then only 5 companies thought I was eligible for (atleast) test.
