Aspiring Minds: Tell us something about yourself and your career goals.

Kamal: My Name is Kamal Pathak. I have done my Bachelors in Technology (Computer Science) from Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering, Pune. I always wanted to work as a Developer for a reputed organization so that I can enhance my skills & widen my knowledge spectrum in software development Domain.

Aspiring Minds: What difficulties did you face while searching for a job and how did you overcame those difficulties?

Kamal: Although I had a Job as soon as I graduated but that wasn’t the sort of job that I always intended to be a part of. I always strived to be a software developer but the main difficulty that came my way was my graduation aggregate percentage, which is 59%. And as everyone knows, to get into a reputed MNC one needs to have at least 60% aggregate. Despite all this, AMCAT gave me a chance to prove myself. Within a month of taking AMCAT, I got an interview call from Mphasis & I successfully converted that opportunity into what I always aspire to be.

Aspiring Minds: Tell us about your experience post giving the AMCAT test and how AMCAT helped you in getting the job at Goodthrough Software Services?

Kamal: In just a month's time after my AMCAT results, I got an interview call from Mphasis and I successfully converted that opportunity into my dream job.

Aspiring Minds: Would you suggest other job seekers to take AMCAT? If yes, why

Kamal:  Yes, I would suggest every jobseeker to be a part of AMCAT. After taking AMCAT, based on your scores, you will start getting calls from different reputed organizations and you don't have to individually signup for their drives. So, this removes a lot of mess and one could easily get a Job in a reputed firm.

Aspiring Minds: Would you like to share some tips which can help other job seekers in getting a good job?

Kamal: Hard work can help you in getting good scores in AMCAT, which is the first mandate to get an interview call from a reputed organization. After taking AMCAT, you will get an AMCAT feedback report which will help you find your loopholes & areas where you need to work hard. Brush up your domain knowledge & interview skills; it will help you get closer to your dream job.
