General Tips To Overcome An Interview

Campus So what if you are not a mountaineer. Or a keen hiker. You still cannot treat your interview like a careless morning trot along a jogger's path. Your jaw-jaw at the interview table is nothing less than a cautious climb up a mountain trail--which begins around your early childhood and meanders through the years at the academia before reaching a new summit in your career.And as you retrace your steps down memory lane make sure that you post flags at important landmarks of your life and career, so that you can pop them before the interview panel scoops them out of you. You don't want to be at the receiving end, do you?

Face the panel, but don't fall of the chair in a headlong rush-and-skid attempt to tell your story. Take one step at a time. If you place your foot on slippery ground, you could be ejecting out on a free fall.

So prepare, fortify your thoughts, re-jig your memory, and script and design your story (without frills and falsity). Without the right preparation and storyboard, you could be a loser at the interview. Here are a few preparation tips that books on interviews sometimes overlook.

Topics were War on Iraq, Leaders Born or Made

Try to assess ur group in GD, if u think its of to be an debating group, pls don't follow GD rules, and create ur oppurtunities for speaking as raising ur tone, intervening the conversation going on, 'its pretty sure that u'll be going off the GD rules, but it was the case in our group", i followed GD rules and i missed it out.

Group Discussion 1. No GD only shout!!! - Our LOk Sabha Style 2. Shout at top of your voice and shout some meaningful points 3. Please train ur vocal chords! Drink our good pure(pun intended) water before GD 4. IF u cant then carry a loudspeaker 5. 10 per group max 3 groups 6. final interview they select 3 from each group 7. Dont think 1-proposer 1-opposer 1-moderator it could 3-proposer or 3 opposer too. 8. If your group is silent Please follow GD rules. 9. 30 minutes of shouting(3min-choose the topic, 2min-prepare,20min-shout) 10. They might also give you a topic. 11. Please dont wait for your chance - Grab 12. Be ready to summarise. Try to say all the points told and say conclusion is yet to be reached. 13. 2 or 3 choosen people will summarise. 14. Dont ever make unruly gestures. You are out immediately. 15. Be ready for any topic .Only general topic - no subject, economics style

Next to test is GD.In GD they gave some general topics like 1)which one affect the country mare CASTE or CORRUPTION2)About SET TOP box3)Is IRAQ WAR is necessary4)which one is good LOVE MARRIAGE or ARRANGED MARRIAGE

2.Group Discussion for those who clear the test.I got the topic-"Why is Indian Hockey limping"You have to speak and tell something different(hightlight a point which is not made by other membersof the group). I think they see leadership quality, Taking Initiative etc.

I came to know the two other topics, which were -"UN's peace activities" and "America's war on Iraq".

The topics were 'Importance of UN in world peace','Environmental Pollution','Sports'..[the team had the option to select].

My topic was whether BPO call centers have good impact on younger generation?1.can america occupy iraq2.cricket shud be banned or not.. –satyam

some tips for GD 1.Be alert abt what others r talking take a chance to give ur opinion,b sure that u have a strong n sensible point to speak out.2.Mostly ppl who initiate the talk r who conclude the talk will get through.Make sure u r anaysing the ideas of ppl there so that u can give a conclusion,there is a chance that u might b particularly asked to conclude the discussion.3.Be confident while u speak 4.Stick on the point which u r speaking( far r against) dont deviate from the topic.5.Stick on to one side either far r against till u finish unless n untill u r asked to change the side.6.Make frnds with ur grp mets know abt them(i mean their names) b4 goin.7.dont rise ur voice unnessesarily(dont speak much with out giving others a chance)

" whether the brand name is a

way of life or not?, the other topics were as follows:

Group disscussion topicFor us he asked us to suggest a topic for GD some gal suggested this topic"shoud GD b a part of selection process r not" and we were given that topic to speak. we got 2 min to collect our ideas n then started to speak.HR just was pretending as if he is not hearing to us .But no body took it for granted n were alert in their talk.I along with another guy spoke against it.6 others spoke for it.Some other topic was like"should sonia gandhi b made a PM or not?"-SATYAM

U NEED TO EITHER INITIATE THE TALK,OR CONCLUDE IT,ORADD EXTRA DURING CONCLUSION IN FAVOUR OF IT.

U NEED TO KEEP NODDING UR HEAD AND BEHAVE AS IF U R ACEO OF THE COMPANY AND U R TAKING A MEETING TO UREMPLOYEES.

BE CONFIDANT ,CHANGE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS SOMETIMESSMILING AND SOMETIMES SERIOUS....

MAKE SOME STRONG POINTS AND WHILE MAKING BE SURE THATIT IS HEARD BY THE EXAMINER AND OTHERS SHUT THEIRMOUTH(AS IF U R A CEO).

MY TOPIC WAS "BALANCE BETWEEN PROFESSIONALISM ANDFAMILY".I WAS THE INITIATOR MADE 3 STRONG POINTS ANDADDED AND MADE CONCLUSION MORE EFFECITVE...SOMETIMES U NEED TO SAY..HEY!!WHY R U MUM BY LOOKINGAT HIM/HER AND ASKING HIM/HER EVEN TO INVOLVE....

AND MANY TOPICS LIKE WHETHER GD IS REQUIRED /NOT,ETC-SATYAM

1. effect of cinema on Youth2. Education in India compared to Foreign nations-GD topics.1) Is it necessary to ban COCOCOLA in India.2) What is the effect of movies on youth.(is it good or bad)3) Are studies more benifitial in India or in Abroad.-SATYAM

about gd,the topic that our group got was "war onIRAQ" all spoke against...our group performed well....alwayskeep in mind that u need to speak out points in thissession and not that u just keep on talking...talklittle but to the point and u r thru...* GROUP Discussion:1> Environmental pollution whose responsibility is it? {topic given to me}2> Computer is a female or male?I remember only this much. One should have a good command over the language and the people around, then only he/she will be selected.>UNO's portion in keeping peace (My topic)>Is CHINA a software threat to INDIA>US-IRAQ war etc.- -SATYAM

IPS for GD:

a) Be careful while you choose to discuss towards the topic or against the topic.

b) Predict how others may depend and write downs short points in a scrap paper.

c) If possible try to start first , if not no problem but try to speak atleast not keep mum.

d) Be fixed to your attitude, it is if the opposite person argues strongly don't leave your topic go towards others.

e) Never be in a neutral state i.e talking both towards as well as against. One girl in our batch did so. She was accepting both the arguments and she was eliminated.

f) It's a discussion don't make it as DEBATE ,be cool. Don't jump on others. They test your patience too when you are at heavy argument.Patience doesn't mean silence but talk smoothly , try to convince your offenders.

g) Always have a smiling face, that will carry you towards the success.

h) Finally don't forget the conclude the discussion highlighting your strong points.
