aptitude exam

10 questions on geo graphy( lattitude longitudes geographic grids equator grasslands capricon cancer prime meridian date line )
20 from logical reasoning(series relations) english (meanings , statement conclusion ) and maths ( %ages , ages, averages, sped distance time )

 after clearing this there will be operation round where he will ask same questions from jam and also sumthing about GIS

u shud not tell u r looking for further studies .. make them sure u are in to GIS and GIS is evoloving and emerging

tell them u r interested in GIS as every organisation is in need of this technology to survive in the market and therefore there is a lot of need for GIS operators analysts

thru out the worldGIS is into evry imaginable discipline and google is a great company to start of with

boast about google learn about poducts of google

ceo of google  etc coming to GIS

its a information system geographic info sys it helps in decision making just like data mining

but on maps it not only shows u the location on earth but also u can map with quantities

i.e if u want to list out places where u can find natural resources like oil then u query it in this tool and all the places with info come up as a google maps u r job basically is to create maps

edit map info and write info like this map making is called as cartography so GIS is in to 3 things

1 cartography 2 statistical analysis 3. databases GIS is mixture of these 3

statistical analysis is nothing but surveys ante no of people who hav high income or  no of people married in particualr area so all that info like dat is entered in to data base
and then we can query

at serco Hitech city

had online google test 30 questions the pattern was the same as serco and dont really worry anyone who cleared at serco can clear here too questions like ajanta ellora situated in  _______ ,golden temple ?,highest gallantry award … like this no questions on geography from other countries…

after they short list u from this exam u get a call from serco that u have to be at google kondapur near capital IQ at 9 in morning

i went after 1 day … ie 1st feb  we entered the office … gaurd allows u in only if ur names are on the list  .. then later serco HR will give u a grooming session on wat to speak in the interview just to increase ur confidence

and i went to the HR round and i did a very small mistake here which cost me the job …
The HR lady asks questions like have u been here before … i said no
career objective – said
why interested in this JOb if u r from b.tech – told her i was not good at programming and have interest towards GIS
explained her GIS
then she asked me about my strengths – said and explained them with an example
everything was fine till here –  i was pretty satisfactory
until she asked are u interested in higher studies in future – i said may be  ,but not as of yet ..i dint really gave any thought about it till now (plzz say no )
then she asked me if  u had a chance do u want to do  higher studies in GIS i said yes
then she said thank you i’ll let u know ur feedback plzz wait at reception ( i knew the feedback wud be negative i cud not make her agree that i wud be staying at google for long term )

then later at reception a HR came and said that i wud be a receiving a call in the evening and cud leave for the day and other applicants along with me were asked to stay back for next round that was logical reasoning and ops round!!

So i hope u guys can learn a lot from my experience and wil be able to crack the interview all the best !!
