Dressing Sense for Interview

There are a few simple rules of thumb that you need to keep in mind when ever it comes to selecting the right clothes for that all important job interview that you have been waiting to get.
Since you have so much riding on the first impression that you present to a prospective employer, the question of what to wear takes on a much greater significance than usual in a job interview.

When it comes time to pick a suit for the interview, there is a rule that should be followed, which is to think conservative. A traditional dark blue or a dark gray suit with pin stripes is a great way to present an air of confidence and aptitude, without straying at all from the bounds of good taste. For upper level and middle level executive positions, an accompany vest may very well be in order. Also, when picking a suit, you should consider the image that you wish to present.

When it comes time to pick out a shirt, the rule is that you can not go wrong with white. This is especially true if you are unsure about the personality of the person with whom you will be interviewing, as most job candidates usually are. A white shirt will make sure you look properly business like, without being or feeling over dressed. If you feel you know your prospective employer well enough that it would be completely appropriate for you to wear a shirt of light blue or off white or even a shade of light green or pink, then you can certainly do so. Just keep in mind that you should stick with solid colors.

Finally, the tie that you choose will help cement your image in the mind of the interviewer. The rule of thumb with ties is simply no cartoons. Hopefully, you have already have a good selection of ties and among that collection a variety of ties that would be much more appropriate for a job interview. Also, unless your interview is in the fashion industry or the music industry, then you will want to select a tie in a conservative color with a traditional pattern. And it is usually best to stay away from ties that are decorated with your favorite logo.

Tips for Success In Newcomers in IT Industry

1.Analytical reasoning:
A good company always looks for people will analytical skills. When an issue arises or a decision needs to be made, we start with data. That means candidate should start with what we know, instead of what we think we know.

2. Communication skills:
Understanding the available problems isn't useful unless you can effectively communicate your conclusions

3.A willingness to experiment:
Non-routine problems call for non-routine solutions and there is no formula for success. A well-designed experiment calls for a range of treatments, explicit control groups, and careful post-treatment analysis. Sometimes an experiment kills off a pet theory, so you need a willingness to accept the evidence even if you don't like it

4.Team players:
One needs to work well together with other people and perform up to the team's expectations

5.Passion and Leadership:
Work with passion for your job. Show Initiatives in work. The main thing, to paraphrase Mr. Drucker, is to be motivated by a sense of importance about what you do.

6.Be Informed:
Keep yourself up to date for latest trends and technologies. It will always help you.

**************************************************************
Lesson #1:

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?”The crow answered: "Sure, why not.”
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit... and ate it.

MORAL OF THE STORY...
To be sitting and doing nothing you must be sitting very, very high up.

************************************************************************************

Lesson #2:

A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy.”
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree
Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who promptly shot the turkey out of the tree.

MORAL OF THE STORY...
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

***************************************************************************************

Lesson #3:

A little bird was flying south for the winter.It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.
While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realise how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

MORAL OF THE STORY...
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut

Four Steps to Get Good Jobs

Set Goals- If you have lost a good job or have been unemployed for some time, it is easy to become downhearted. “When I first lost my job, I was optimistic about finding another one,” a Secretary in Mumbai. “But as the months dragged on and I was unable to find work, I became depressed.
Here, first and foremost each day must start with your getting dressed for work.” Why? “Being dressed properly will give you added confidence even when talking on the telephone.”Yes, you must make it your job to find a job, no matter how long it takes. Aditi, mentioned earlier, adopted this businesslike approach.
She says: “I obtained the addresses and phone numbers of prospective employers from the employment office. I responded to newspaper ads. I studied the phone book and made lists of companies that might have jobs that were not yet advertised, and then I contacted them. I also compiled a resume and sent it to these companies.” After such systematic searching, Aditi found a suitable job.

Find the Hidden Jobs - The fisherman with the largest net is the one most likely to catch fish. So knowing how to increase the size of your “net” will improve your chances of landing a job.
If you are looking for work only by responding to newspaper or Internet advertisements, the majority of available jobs may be slipping past your net. A good number of jobs are never advertised.
How can you gain access to this hidden job market?In addition to responding to advertisements, like Aditi you must set aside time each week to call on businesses that you think may have jobs you can do. Do not wait for them to advertise positions.
If a manager says that he has no work, ask him if he knows where else you might look and specifically to whom you should speak. If he offers a suggestion, make an appointment with that company, stating the name of the person who referred you.Tony, mentioned in the preceding article, found a job this way.
“I took the initiative to contact companies even though they were not advertising,” he explains. “One company said that there were no vacancies at present but that I should try again in three months. I did, and I obtained a job.” You can also ask your friends, family, and other associates to help you access the hidden job market.
This is how Joseph, a Accounts officer in Banglore, found a job. He says: “When the company I worked for went out of business, I let friends and family know that I was looking for work. One day a friend of mine overheard a conversation while in line at a supermarket.
One woman was asking another if she knew of anyone looking for work. My friend interrupted and told the woman about me. An appointment was arranged, and I got the job.”

Impressive Resume- For those applying for executive positions, compiling and distributing a professional résumé is a must. But no matter what job you seek, a well-prepared résumé can be a great asset.
“A résumé tells potential employers not only who you are but also what you have accomplished and why they need you,” says Nidhi, an employment consultant in New Delhi.
How do you compile a résumé? Provide your full name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. State your objective. List the education you have received, highlighting any training and skills that relate to the job you are seeking.
Provide details of previous work experience. Include not only what you did but also examples of the goals you reached and the benefits you brought to your previous employers. Also highlight aspects of your previous employment that qualify you for the job you are currently seeking.
Include personal information that describes your qualities, interests, and hobbies. Because companies’ needs differ, you may have to adjust your résumé for each application.Should you produce a résumé if you are applying for your first job? Yes! There may be many things you have done that qualify as work experience.
For example, do you have hobbies, such as woodworking or perhaps fixing up old cars? These can be listed. Have you engaged in any volunteer work?
List the type of volunteer work you have done and the goals you have achieved.When you cannot obtain an interview with a prospective employer, leave a small card—preferably four inches by six inches [10 cm by 15 cm]—containing your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address, as well as a brief summary of your skills and accomplishments.
On the back of the card, if appropriate, you could even put a photo of yourself or of you with your family. Distribute this card to all those who might help you find work, asking them to hand it to anyone they know who is offering the type of work you are seeking.
When a potential employer sees this card, he may grant you an interview—perhaps leading to a job! Preparing a résumé will help you feel more in control as you search for work. Nidhi, mentioned earlier, says: “Writing a résumé helps you organize your thoughts and goals. It also builds your confidence by helping you prepare for potential questions you may be asked during a job interview.”

Prepare Well for Your Interviews - What is involved in preparing for an interview? You may want to research the company you hope to work for. The more you know about the company, the better the impression you will make during the interview.
Your research will also help you determine whether the company really has the kind of work you want or is one you want to work for.Next, think about what you will wear to the interview. If the job you seek involves manual labor, wear appropriate neat, clean clothing.
Neat dress and grooming tell the prospective employer that you take pride in yourself and are thus more likely to take pride in your work. If you are hoping to work in an office, choose modest clothing that is considered suitable business attire where you live.
Nidhi says: “Choose your clothes long before you are due to attend your interview so that you don’t feel rushed and unnecessarily increase your levels of stress prior to the interview.”Nidhi also recommends arriving for your interview about 15 minutes early. Of course, arriving too early is not wise. But arriving late could be disastrous.
Experts say that the first three seconds of your interview are crucial. During that brief time, the interviewer makes assessments about your appearance and your bearing that deeply influence his or her opinion of you. If you are late, you will make an overwhelmingly negative impression. Remember, there are no second chances to rectify first impressions.Remember, too, that the interviewer is not your enemy.
After all, he likely had to apply for his job, so he knows how you feel. In fact, he may be nervous, since he may have received little or no training on how to conduct an interview. In addition, if the interviewer is the employer, he may have much to lose if he chooses the wrong person for the job.
To start off well, smile and give the interviewer a firm handshake if that is the customary greeting. During the interview, concentrate on what the employer needs from you and what you have to offer.
Regarding things to avoid Nidhi says: “Don’t fidget or slouch—good posture conveys confidence. Don’t be too informal or overly talkative. Also, avoid being negative about your former employers and workmates—if you are negative about them, the interviewer will likely feel you will be negative about this job too.”
Regarding things to do and say during the interview, experts recommend the following: Maintain eye contact with the interviewer, use natural gestures when you speak, and articulate clearly.
Be concise and honest when answering questions, and ask relevant questions about the company and the prospective job. At the end of the interview, if you still want the job, ask for it. Doing so will show your enthusiasm.By following the suggestions outlined above, you may soon have a job.
