I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (Madras)
Interview
I was a college student at that time and I decided to do any part time job to support my basic needs. I posted my profile in an online job portal. I was contacted by an outsourcing company which referred me to Customer Service Representative job at Dell Healthcare, DLF IT Park, Ramapuram, Chennai. I specifically told them that I'm a college student and I will have only HSC marksheet during interview. They said HSC is also one of the qualifications for that job and so I can attend it.
Believing them I went for the interview. There were few other graduate candidates for the interview. An employee came and asked for our interview call letter. While giving the letter, I told him that I'm a college student and I only have HSC documents. He told other candidates to go to other room for telephonic interview with HR and asked me to wait.
He tried to convince me to not attend the interview, by saying that I won't be able to manage time for studies, etc. But I was so adamant and assured him that I can manage it. Then he sent me to the interview room. From the look on his face, I knew that they are going to reject me anyway.
Then I attended the telephonic interview and waited for the verdict.
The result was mark based, 30 out of 100 is pass. First they told the result for other candidates, everyone had less than 30 score. Then they said my score was 8 (lowest of all candidates) and adviced me to improve my English.
BTW I forgot to mention, I'm a Freelance Invigilator for British Council.
If they wanted to reject me, they could have just told that they don't want students and I won't be offended. I was told that my English is not good, but I was the most proficient candidate.
I applied online. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (North York, ON) in Jun 2017
Interview
Got the first phone interview from their head office HR in the states, was told Toronto office recruiter will contact me to schedule the interview. And then... a week has passed, nothing happened. I had to follow up and then finally got the phone call from them. Scheduled the interview on June 1st- the interview went well, had a great talk with HR and a manager in their Talent Acquisition team. They said they would suggest me for 2nd round interview- but so far I heard nothing from them. I followed up by email/linkedin, but no reply at all... very upset, at least they can give me an email and let me know if they have made the decision or not...
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (Gurgaon, Haryana)
Interview
it was a three round interview. the first round was with hr representative, followed by an aptitude and english language written test and the last round was a voice interview on call(phone call).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
general HR questions followed by a series of questions on a phone call to test your conversational abilities and a test of your command over the English language. The questions are easy to answer if you follow the instructions. for example, i was asked to describe myself and my holiday preferences and then i was asked to frame five questions for the interviewer starting with words provided by him/her.
