Ranjeeta\u2019s placement happened pretty late in the placement season, but she is more than happy about it.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve been placed with theEGO Group of Companies, which is one of the biggest dealers of Wooden Flooring, Wall Decor, and Furniture for corporates.As a Business Development Executive, I have been assigned to EGO\u2019s franchise concept store,DESIGNER SPACE, in Andheri(West), Mumbai.\u201d
\nEndowed with a natural artistic temperament, Ranjeeta took very little time to get a hang of the Wooden Flooring and Wall Decor section. Her daysareoccupied with \u2018cold-calling\u2019 interior designers and decorators, with the aim of fixing meetings to make presentationsonEGO\u2019s product line.Ranjeeta is also responsible for handlingwalk-in clients at Designer Space, when she is notvisitingprospective clients to make presentations or take the business forward.
\n\u201cCurrently, I am studying all the catalogues in Wall Coverings and Wooden flooring to get a thorough product knowledge. While this helps in cold-calling and making pitches, it is also something which I find deeply interesting. My seniors are very supportive and help meto understand the technicalities of the industry.\u201d
\nRanjeeta recalls that the two-round recruitment process at EGO could\u2019ve been difficult, but her ready humour and deeply creative nature \u2013 encouraged at Jaipuria, Jaipur- made it a cakewalk.
\n\u201cThe first round was with an HR representative of the EGO Group, on the 26th of April 2013 and the second round was a Skype interview with the one of the company\u2019s directors on the 27th of April.The first round of interview was based on a form, which we had to fill before the interview. The form consisted of questions pertaining to our personal details, our own SWOT analysis, where we saw ourselves after five years, why the company should choose us, details of prior job experience and achievements. Thanks to the in-depth sessions at Jaipuria Institute of Management, my answers were specific and in bullet points.I did not go into too much detail, so that I could have aces up my sleeve during the interview round.\u201d
\nRanjeeta\u2019sHR round was elaborate in questions but short \u2013 just 10 minutes – in duration.The most important question for her was \u201cTwo words that define you\u201d.
\n\u201cI answered \u201cCreative\u201d and \u201cFriendly\u201d. I was able to elaborate by showcasing my achievements, like being the\u2018Decorating Coordinator\u2019 for national level events like Annual Sports Meet 2013 and ABHYUDAYA 2013,the Jaipuria annual fest, at Jaipuria, Jaipur. There were some other questions – like \u201cDo beautiful girls make better salesmen?\u201d -which could\u2019ve been tricky, but thanks to our soft skills training and interview training at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur, I turned this into an advantage. I explained that while beauty makes the initial process easier, what ultimately matters is the bigger picture. Without hard work,dumb beautiful girl can\u2019t bring in sales;sales needserious hard work. So \u2018Beauty with Brains\u2019 is what really matters.\u201d
\nRight through her interviews,Ranjeeta was able to answer every question, bringing in examples from her tenure at Jaipuria, Jaipur. Be it her summer internship at Dish TV India Limited – where she had to roam around the city and interact with DTH brand retailers\u2013 orher five-day training in BIG BAZAAR, where she had to deal with customers, explaining the Payback card scheme at Big Bazaar, she used all her prior work to her advantage.
\n\u201cLast but not the least, I was given an imaginary detergent brand and asked to find a distributor for it. This is something that is well taught at Jaipuria, Jaipur.I replied by creating a blend of online and offline methods, and primary and secondary data \u2013 mainly on the internet – that would help research the real market.\u201d
\nRanjeeta attributes her successful placement to the continuous motivation and counselling by her faculty, the efforts of her placement committee, and her loyal friends and peers at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur.
\n\u201cAt Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur every placement is a team effort,\u201d says a happy Ranjeeta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
