RECOMMENDATION FOR A LOCAL RESTAURANTLetter SBI PO -2015

SBI PO 2015 Exam for the post of Probationary Officer, here we are presenting to you all a letter on "Letter to the Editor recommending a local restaurant

You had a good meal in a local restaurant with your family. Write a letter to the newspaper to tell them about it, describe the meal you had, and why you think the restaurant is worth visiting.

To,

The Editor,

The Hindu,

Chand.

Respected Sir,

SUBJECT - RECOMMENDATION FOR A LOCAL RESTAURANT

I am a long standing member of our local community and I am writing a recommendation to other citizens for one of our fine neighborhood dining establishments; The Star Café.

There were many impressive attributes which struck me upon my entrance, such as the décor and ambience. I particularly enjoyed the laid back attitude of the place. But for my mind it was the service along with the size and quality of the portions that was most memorable.

The service was professional yet intimate, and along with the sheer quantity of the dishes served, motivated me to pass on my recommendation. I enjoyed a steak of mammoth proportions and a giant fresh, crisp salad accompanied by a selection of appropriately selected seasonal vegetables. The piece de resistance, however, was the rich Black Forest gateau served as dessert –and all for a reasonable price.

I hope after reading this, potential customers will frequent this diner – Bon appetite.

Yours truly

Suti

   Date-16-5-2015
   Time-11:30
   penel-1
   Background-Diploma(c.s),B.Tech(c.s) 2014 Passed Out

I have reached the venue a bit late than actual time. And then we were asked to sit in a room where the document verification took place. Doc verification process started around 11:30 And they were very strict in document verification. Make sure that you have all the required documents which will support your eligibility. And my turn for interview was at 04:50. when I called up I open the door and seek their permission to get in. panel consists of 6 members . I wished them and they offered me the seat.

Some people asked the questions in Telugu (my local language ) and few of them asked in English. So, I answered accordingly .

Sir (who is leading the interview ): 

• Asked few basic details about my place ,education, etc
• Why banking?
• Didn’t you appeared for any IT sector jobs ?
• Are you interested to go if you got one ?
• How long have I been appearing for Bank jobs ? and their results .
• Difference between NEFT and RTGS ?
• Can we avail NEFT service without going to the branch ?
• Can you name 3 private sector banks in India ??
• Which is the youngest one among those 3 ??
• Which is the biggest one in Market Capitalization ?? (Actually I was not much aware of Market 

My Ans: Capitalization .i heard ICICI is biggest in some parameter which I couldn’t remember exactly at that time . so I decided to take a chance and answered it as)  

Me: ICICI (were the actual answer is HDFC !!.)

Sir : I asked in market captilization. 

Me : sry sir , i don’t know much about Market Capitalization .

Sir: you said ICICI as biggest by considering its Asset size ?? (Then I realize ICICI is the biggest pvt bank in terms of asset size tongue emoticon )

Me: yes sir . tongue emoticon

And then he gave chance to M2 ( who looks very old in the whole panel ) who sits right to M1 . Seems he is an expert in capital markets and investments . I feel so because he posed all the questions related to that field .

Sir2 

• How companies expand their capital ?? What is share? 
• What is sensex?
• What is nifty ?
• One question about IPO
• And other 2 questions related to capital markets .

And then he gave chance to M3 who sits left to M1 . He asked few general questions which I couldn’t able to recall now .

Now again M1 started his questions.

Sir :Do you have bank account and internet banking?

Sir :For what purpose you use that mostly?

Me: I said for online shopping .. !! 

(I consider this as the biggest mistake that I made in the interview . As they started posing around 10 questions related to this field ) 

• Name few e-commerce companies. 
• Recent mergings in e - commerce companies . 
• Biggest e - commerce companies in india? 
• Why few e - commerce companies shifted to mobile apps and building mobile version websites .?

Then in middle M4 ( who is left to m3) took the gun and started shooting his questions.. 

• Advantages of online shopping?
• Disadvantages of online shopping? 
• How can you find a website as a trusted website or not? 
• What is the diff b/w http and https?

Now M1 started again … 

What is TCP? 

Why we use It ?

Now M4 Again : 

Sir4: say us about your project. 

For that I explained briefly on how it works and where we use it .  

Sir4: have you ever heard about verisign ??

Me : sry sir , I never heard that name !! . (Actually verisign is a security ensure for Internet banking and is also related to my project tongue emoticon ) 

Then M4 explained about that verisign .

And then its F1 turn now (who is right to M2 ). She asked few questions related to recent current affairs which I couldn’t remember now . so I’m just talking about other few here . 

Sir : Can you explain us about Nellore in 1 Min.  

( I actually prepared for this answer when I was preparing for IBPS PO interview and couldn’t able to recall the whole and just explained a part of what I prepared at that time ) 

I ended up answering in just 30 sec’s and was thinking what to say next . 

Then F1 : was there any CM’s from Nellore?? 

Then is started saying about famous politicians from Nellore . 

F1 : what is the name of NGO running by mr. venkaiah naidu in Nellore ?? 

(Though I know the answer I couldn’t able to get it at that time and remains silent for 2-3 seconds and answered ) 

Me : Swarna Bharat Trust . 

F1 :What is the tag line of tourism for Kerala ?? 

Me : answered .

M1 : Ok Mr . Bhanu Kiran you can leave now . All the best . Then I thanked everyone of them and left the room .
