My SBI Clerical Interview

On 26/04/2010, i attended SBI Clerical Interview. My batch time was scheduled at 12:00 in the noon.
Interview panel had three members, for SBI always 3 members will be interviewing the candidate.
This is the second time i am attending the SBI interview, last year i attended interview for Probationary Officer, sad thing was i did not make it through.So this time i am bit confident.
Usually SBI Interview will questions on current affairs, General Knowledge and some questions on the Degree which we studied.

when i entered the room, the chair in which i am going sit was not facing the interviewer, it was slightly facing the other direction of the interviewer, so i corrected the chair and sat.
May be they are testing what i am going to do with the chair, its a guess.

i had wide range of questions to answer,

1. Questions on the Hobbies i had mentioned.
2. Chairman of SBI -- Ans Om Prakash Bhatt
3. Slogan of which company "Connecting India" -- BSNL
4. slogan of Samsung
5. Tell about my family
6. what is Data mining ?
7. Tools used in Data mining ?
8. Phishing ?
9. How will you make sure your internet transaction is Secured -- i explained difference between http and https, exact answer will be to tell about certificates that are given by verisign or tharwt.
10. What are the security features are used by SBI during online transaction.
11. Who scored highest score in the ODI
12. 2 new Franchise added in this year, name it
13. Who scored highest individual score in the IPL3
14. Why do you choose SBI ?

These are the questions i faced, most of the questions i answered and some questions i answered "i dont know". Its good to say "I dont know" rather beating around the bush.

This time around i have improved a bit, had a smile while answering and bit more confident than last interview.

So my kind advise to the aspirant is not to think of the result, you perform in the interview in the best way you can, don't worry about the result cause always there is a reward for the hard work.

Skoda History

The origins of Škoda go back to the early 1890s where, like many long-established car manufacturers, the company started out with the manufacture of bicycles. It was 1894, and 26-year old Václav Klement, who was a bookseller by trade in Mladá Boleslav, in today's >Czech Republic (which was then part of Austria-Hungary) was unable to obtain the right spare parts to repair his German bicycle. Klement returned his bicycle to the manufacturers, Seidel and Naumann, with a letter, in Czech, asking for them to carry out repairs, only to receive a reply, in German, stating: "If you would like an answer to your inquiry, you should try writing in a language we can understand." A disgusted Klement, despite not having any previous technical experience, then decided to start his own bicycle repair shop, which he and Václav Laurin opened in 1895 in Mladá Boleslav. Before going into business partnership with Klement, Laurin was an already established bicycle manufacturer from the nearby town of Turnov. In 1898, after moving to their newly-built factory, the pair bought a Werner "motorcyclette", which was produced by French manufacturer Werner Brothers. Laurin & Klement's first motorcyclette (which was powered by an engine mounted on the handlebars driving the front wheels) proved dangerous and unreliable - an early incident on it cost Laurin a front tooth. In order to design a safer machine with its structure around the engine, the pair wrote to German ignition specialist Robert Bosch for advice on a different electromagnetic system. The pair's new Slavia motorcycle made its debut in 1899. By 1900, when the company now had a workforce of 32, exports for the Slavia started, with 150 machines being shipped to London for the English firm Hewtson. Shortly afterwards, the press of the day credited them with being makers of the first motorcycle.

The first model, Voiturette A, was a success and the company was established both within Austria-Hungary and internationally. By 1905 cars were being produced by the firm. During the First World War Škoda was engaged in war production.

After WWI it began producing trucks, but in 1924, after running into problems and being hit by a fire, the company sought a partner. As a result it merged with Škoda Works, the biggest industrial enterprise in Czechoslovakia. Most later production was under the Škoda name. After a decline during the economic depression, Škoda was again successful with models such as the Popular in the late 1930s.

During the World War II Occupation of Czechoslovakia, the Škoda works was turned into part of Hermann Göring Werke serving the GermanWorld War II effort.

By July 1945, when at this time the Mladá Boleslav factory had been reconstructed, production of Škoda's first post-WWII car, the 1101 series began. It was essentially an updated version of the pre-WWII Škoda Popular, which it was heavily based on. In the autumn of 1945, Škoda (along with all large manufacturers) became part of the economy, which meant it was separated from the parent Škoda company. In spite of unfavourable political conditions and losing contact with technical development in non communist countries, Škoda retained a good reputation until the 1960s, producing models such as the Škoda 440 Spartak, 445 Octavia, Felicia and Škoda 1000 MB. Škoda has always been known internationally for building very tough and reliable cars.[1]

In the late 1980s Škoda (then named Automobilové závody, národní podnik, Mladá Boleslav) was still manufacturing cars conceptually from the 1960s. Rear engined models such as the Škoda 105/120, Estelle and Rapid sold steadily and performed well against more modern makes in races such as the RAC Rally in the 70s and 80s. They won their class in the RAC rally for 17 years running. They were powered by a 130 bhp, 1289 cc engine. In spite of its dated image and being the subject of jokes, the Škoda remained a common sight on the roads of UK and Western Europe throughout the 1970s and 80s.

Sport versions were available for the Estelle and earlier models using "Rapid" as the version name. Soft top cabriolet versions were also available. The Rapid was once described as the 'poor man's Porsche' and had significant sales success in the UK during the 1980s.[2]

"Of course, that the Škoda became such a figure of fun was in part due to its ubiquity on Britain's roads. The company must have been doing something right." extract from BBC report on Škoda sales in 1980s

The turning point came in 1987 with the Favorit model. The Favorit's appearance was designed by Italian design company Bertone. With some motor technology licensed from western European companies, but still using the Škoda designed 1289 cc engine, Škoda engineers succeeded in designing a car comparable to western production. The technological gap was still there, but began closing rapidly. While still the target of jokes in the West, the Favorits were very popular in Czechoslovakia and other Eastern Bloc countries. They also sold fairly well in Western Europe, especially in the UK, being regarded as solid and reliable, as well as a good value. Their trim levels continued to improve and they were sold right up to the introduction of the Felicia in 1996.
