How I faced rejections in interview | English conversation with RAM

Overview

This is an English conversation where RAMachandran (“RAM”) connects with a viewer named Rajni Kant Kumar for the first time after “struggles to connect” for about half an hour. Once they go live, Rajni Kant celebrates the moment like a huge dream—saying he’s been watching RAM on YouTube for a long time—and joking that his heart was “booming” when he saw RAM’s email.

Key story: rejection-to-reselection journey

Rajni Kant shares that during college he faced heavy interview rejection—over 17 rejections, including three interview shortlists/selections. He highlights a major turning point:

• He was rejected by an HR at Cherry Performance due to pronunciation and sentence formation.
• Instead of giving up, he treats it as a learning challenge: he studies communication using listening/reading/writing, plus grammar through a YouTube playlist.
• After months, he returns to the same company and eventually gets selected.

He then expands on his broader interview strategy:

• He tried interviewing at Amazon in Bangalore multiple times and failed three times.
• He decided to change his approach and eventually found success elsewhere.
• He estimates he has attended around 60–70 interviews in total, and believes he understood how interview questions work after gaining experience.

Funny/relatable moments

A few light and relatable exchanges include:

• Rajni Kant says he listens to RAM’s videos using earphones while sleeping, while RAM jokes about whether he’s “putting him to sleep.”
• They discuss English practice methods, and RAM teases him for only needing English practice rather than just “listening to RAM while sleeping.”
• Rajni Kant explains he uses the Episode language app, which includes 7-minute limits.
  • He jokes that he needs “practice partners,” because friends often get busy.

Unique “learn English” method: singing + translating

A standout part of the conversation is Rajni Kant’s unconventional approach using the Episode app:

• Because the chat is limited to 7 minutes, he often begins by singing English lyrics or translating a song’s meaning into English.
• He shares that once he sang in front of girls and they reacted like: “you’re a singer!”
• He also describes a playful tactic: if he explains the meaning, people respond more warmly—sometimes romantically/excitedly.
  • RAM jokingly suggests it’s improving his flirting skills, and Rajni Kant denies it’s “serious flirting.”

Cultural/personal highlights

Rajni Kant also shares background about identity and family:

• He comes from a Brahman/temple-priest family and says he has performed many weddings as a priest, including mantras/chanting and ceremonies.
• He mentions it’s becoming harder to find priests locally because younger generations leave for jobs abroad.
• He links this to his life trajectory: “stable-but-changing.” He is now working in a BPO sector in Jaipur and is planning future career moves.

Future plans and goals

Rajni Kant outlines next steps:

• Improve communication further before 2026, including building professional vocabulary and using tools like ChatGPT.
• Possibly switch companies after about 6 months, and move toward major job cities such as Pune / Hyderabad / Bangalore.
• Dream of traveling abroad—especially Germany (he notes he’d need B2 German level).
• Also mentions English-speaking destinations and possibly Dubai due to language convenience.

Closing question + RAM’s reference

In the final minute, Rajni Kant asks about RAM’s earlier mention of a long-sounding mantra (“Sand…mantra”). Rajni Kant clarifies it’s the Shivando/Shivah mantra. RAM thanks him, and he ends by saying he enjoyed the conversation—especially the singing/mantra moment.
