00:02 This person asked me some questions.
00:07 If they were asking me, they started asking me
00:10 questions related to subject and topic,
00:12 and I stopped.
00:15 I said, "Please don't ask me these questions."
00:17 Whatever questions I've answered by now,
00:19 I have literally stamped, I mean, creamed them out.
00:22 I have just made sure that I answered a few questions,
00:26 but I'm not even knowing the subject.
00:28 I don't know the subject.
00:29 So they said, "So what do you know?"
00:31 I said, "I know internet."
00:33 You know, HTTP, Unix, web servers, clients, browsers,
00:38 that is what my interest is.
00:40 So they started asking me, "What do you know?
00:43 "What sort of area of interest in a conversation?"
00:46 So classic moment in a job interview,
00:48 I was able to say that, "Don't ask me the subject
00:50 "because I think I can fake it well,
00:55 "but this is not what I want to do,"
00:57 versus ask me in this direction.
00:59 And that conversation became a pretty long talk.
01:01 They asked me, this is the highest paying job
01:04 of the campus, surprisingly,
01:06 and when they asked me and they took me to the company,
01:09 Riverrun Software Group,
01:11 they put me in a business role in the company,
01:14 and I was the tech dude for business team.
01:17 So in a way, in engineering college,
01:20 I got the job which was a business job,
01:22 and based on the interest and internet that I was doing.
