hello all,
I am an Mechanical Engineer from Chennai and i am job Seeker.
In my job search process, i recently applied for SBI Life Insurance company (Subsidiary of SBI) through Naukri.
Well this might sound pretty Strange that, though i dont have any experience in this field, i applied for this Job role "Unit Manager" which requires 1 to 4yr Similar work experience..
I only have work experience with Manufacturing Industry in fields of Management, Production process and Logistics before.
But i applied for this, just to know details about the job profile and to know weather am i eligible or not!! BUT i never thought i would get reply from them!! (As i have been applying for jobs with Naukri but i hardly got nay replies, uhhh!!).
Yesterday evening, i got an call from an HR of SBI life regarding the job to know weather i am interested with the job or Not..
I was Shocked & Confused.. And as i could't say no too, i replied i will get back to you tomorrow early morning (thats today)..
He asked me few questions and i too asked him few..
I told him that, i dont have any experience with this job profile and applied to know i am eligible.
OK People, now i have these doubts -
1) As i have no experience with this kinda job role, will i be selected for this Unit manager job?? (Crazy doubt, but just to know).
2) How good is SBI life insurance company?? any reviews on this..
3) Is SBI Life Insurance - Govt owned, Partially Govt or Fully Private??
4) Should i trust the HR and go and attend this Interview (if i say i am interested). Because with many interviews i attended before, i have faced many such similar problems.
I go and attend for interview the job role i applied which will not be related to my educational or exp criteria.. The HR will call me and ask me to come and meet him on personal.. And i pack up from home, go there, wait for hours for the interview and probably after 3 hours of wait, the HR says at interview that
"Sorry, u dont have any experience, so we cant give u this job"..
Will i face the same problem here too..
Any HR recruiter Friends from Chennai, PLEASE HELP ME.. I am Confused...
What should i do??

It depends, whether you want to work in that kind of job or not? Do present a clear picture of yourself when you go for interview. Hiding things could be detrimental in short or longer term. Best of luck for your endeavor.
