po interview experience-iii

My interview was scheduled on 19th Jan 2015 @ Andhra Bank HO Hyderabad, under panel III with start time at 8:30

I reached the venue around 8:35 am, after completing the formal security 

check, i entered the seminar hall in the ground floor. Within 2 minutes my name was called out for verification, i have submitted all copies of my Graduation and then they have asked for semester wise photo copies of mark sheets, few of which were missing. i was shocked and no clue of what to do but they kept calm and guided me to get the copies from one of their xerox machines on other floors. After clearing the verification i was told to wait for the interview..

2-5 minutes of waiting went by with each second proceeding towards nervous break down and one of the bank employee adviced me to stay calm and cool as HR Team were also new and had no much experience in Interviews, then bell rang and i took a march into the interview hall......now the story starts

There were 5 male members and 1 female member in the panel all aged around 45-60 with smiles around their faces.

After Greeting and well wishes the interview started with Female (F) interviewer

M1: Seeing my details and discovering that i am already an employee at a private firm. He asked, " Why Engineers like you want to get employed in banking sector"?

M: I supported by saying that Banking is a huge industry where we can utilize our knowledge in diverse operations of Banking in various levels starting all the way from clerical, PO, Asst. Manager, Manager and finally Governor. these days banks are not places where just transactions are made, it involves mutual handing of clients, rural and urban customers, complaints along with the operations which includes sustainability along with competition and moreover banks are conducting exams for specialist officers which indirectly means that engineers have a definite place in banking industry too.

M2: Why only engineering candidates, why not others?

M: Sir, Its not about Engineering at the end of the day knowledge, talent and wisdom is all that matters but when observed from competition point of view Engineers can use their domain knowledge and can be used as an additional advantage over non professional degrees...where i gave few examples to support myself.
