“Amarchand Mangaldas”, one of the leading law firms in India came to my college placements to recruit young lawyers. Their pay scale was also one of the attracting aspects of our college placements. Almost 100 candidates applied to get into this firm and they barely shortlisted 10 students from our batch among which 6 were boys and 4 were girls. “Government Law College” one of the prestigious law institution which provides great opportunity to its students in different ways and placement was also one of the great opportunity which we had that year. I was one of the candidates who got shortlisted in that list with remaining 9 students.

 Samarth Surana, was one of the brilliant student from our college and everyone was scared as he was also with us for this interview. Though he was brilliant and his intellectuals were extremely higher than anyone else but Rahul Jetly from our batch was also one of the competitors. I was not counting my name at all because I already had lots of doubts on myself if I can get that opportunity and I was in satisfactory situation only by seeing my name in shortlist. Indeed it was a great challenge for all of us and intellectuals are not the only thing which generally law firms see in a good candidate; they do consider social and cultural aspects of candidates as well.

At last the day came when we all scheduled to reached at our interview premises by 11 in the morning half & hour in advance before the interview schedule. We all were nervous and were sharing some tips with each other by assuming if that can work out at last moment but destiny is also something which plays a vital role ne everyone’s life. Alphabetically my number was 9th one and I had to wait for long time. After 8th candidate H.R. called out my name and I stood and moved ahead to interview room. During my interview they commented a lot on our college as they find us indiscipline and less presentable in terms of looks; I was sitting just in front of them couldn’t deny or affirmed just nodded slightly and indirectly intimated my intention to move on with my interview.

I finished my interview and those brilliant boys also finished their interview and I was expecting one of them to become their choice but then the I recalled interview panel’s words as they were not happy with personality presentation because many boys from my batch were not properly shaved; infect they do not like to shave at all. However the 10th number guy was also from my batch and I was not known him so well but when I just had a glance at him I noticed he was properly well shaved. I just forgot my interview for a while because I wanted to know the results H.R. girl told us to wait for half & hour then interview panel will communicate their decision to us.

Almost after 45 minutes I saw that same H.R. girl is coming towards us and she announced that 10th number guy who went for an interview in the end and in addition to that;

interview panel also came outside to congratulate him personally and they appreciated his personality and they also mentioned that groomed face give good impact on any interview and they suggested remaining boys to have proper shave while going for any interview and panel wished all of us best wishes for our future life and we moved ahead to our respective destinations.

That was a day I understood groomed face plays an important role in addition to anything else. So guys you should not waste more time have clean shave and rock in your life. :) :) :) :)
