That time of the year...

Tension builds up with every passing moment. Peer pressure reaches unimaginable levels. Not even in your wildest dreams did you imagine that you will be doing the wierdest things just to keep up with your friends. Exaggeration has no limits. And by the way it's not exaggeration, it's called creative writing.

The hunt has begun to form the best possible prep group! Of course all the nerds have already been taken. Boy, this must be the only time of the year when the hottest bimbo is seen hanging out with the nerdiest guy ;).

This is the time when you will scour all the depths of your experience to create bullet points. Even a book that you won for standing third in an intra-class competition in 8th std is an achievement. Ok... that's stupid! But I know some places where even that is acceptable :).

While you may have been wetting your pants at the prospect of making a presentation to the client executives, you will now be braggin about your client management skills and your astuteness at sniffing out potential business opportunities.

An obvious silly change in design that helped you reduce the delivery time for your code suddenly becomes a quality improvement initiative. And of course who can ignore your incredible time mgmt skills which enable you to deliver ahead of time... always! Anyone ever heard of Underpromise, then Overdeliver??? Yup, I just spelt out the secret of all onsite project coordinators :))).

Well folks its the start of placement season, and it's resume time... it's that time of the year again!
