How mentorship got me hired

Mentorship is More Than Just Advice. Here is how mentorship helped me early in my career:

During my third year at Thapar University, I had the opportunity to connect with a few seniors . I frequently reached out to them for advice, and they provided invaluable insights into the recruitment process. They helped me understand what specific companies were looking for, and even shared insider tips based on their own experiences, especially from those working in the same companies that visited our campus.

When I sat for the Exl Analytics written test, there were 180 candidates, and only about 90 made it through to the next stage. After three rounds of interviews, the company selected just 13 students, and I was fortunate enough to be one of them. Despite not being a top-ranking student, I believe my selection was a result of focused preparation. I had a clear understanding of what EXL Analytics valued, thanks to my seniors’ guidance. For example, they advised me to concentrate on guesstimates and puzzles, which were crucial for the interview process.

While other candidates certainly put in the effort, my preparation was more aligned with the company’s expectations, and that focus played a significant role in my success. I can attribute much of my achievement to the mentorship I received from those seniors, which gave me an edge over the competition.
Hence, through UnsaidTalks, I along with other Industry Professionals would like to help people with very relevant information that is relevant for them to help them navigate their career, crack the interviews for the companies they want to get placed and provide them constant feedback to help them evolve!
