The Savior | Sanjana, IIFT
To get into a premier b-school takes a lot of sincerity and hard work but if you achieve your goal then nothing seconds that feeling. I felt ecstatic because I had scored 99.8 percentile in IIFT’s written exam. I was literally on top of the world because my efforts paid off. The next round was supposed to be a group discussion and personal interview. I knew this would be the deciding factor because the written exam was just the first step towards my dream college. I started prepping for my personal interview. A very important aspect of interviews is the clothes you wear and the confidence with which you carry yourself. I was in dilemma as to where I could buy a good blazer and a pair of trousers. My father has an impeccable taste so I asked him to suggest me a few brands. He told me that I should visit Van Heusen’s outlet. I visited the outlet the very next day. The collection was impressive just like my father told. I bought a chic looking black colour blazer and trousers. It was the D-day and I was very nervous about the whole process. I wondered whether I would be good enough or not but when I came out of my room all dressed up, I could see the happy faces of my father and mother. They both wished me luck as I went to the interview process. As I was walking in the waiting hall with all the other candidates I could feel the ease with which I could carry the whole attire. The blazer was light and easy to wear around because I was not feeling tired or drowsy waiting for the process to start, as all the other candidates were sweaty and panicky. I went into the interview wearing my confidence and came out all happy. My interview went really well and eventually I got selected for getting admission into IIFT. This one little encounter with Van Heusen changed my life for good.
