How to prepare for Interview - 2

Continuation from Part-1

As we have already discussed the questions

Q1. Q1. Please tell us something about yourself? &  Q2.Why should we hire you? in the article Interview Preparation – 1, now we are going to talk about the questions :

Q3. what is your aim in life?

A very simple question, even from the childhood our parents start asking us what you want to become when you grow up but for many of us answers change when we grow up. However, you should be careful while answering this question as your aim now should match the profile of the job, for e.g if you are giving interview for the post of sales manager and your answer to this question is that I want to become a pilot. Is there any way that you can get this job? There are some options to this answer:

(a)   I want to do good in my life, perform well in my job and attain a position in my life where I will be respected by the society and my parents will be proud of me.

(b)   I don’t keep long term aims as I live my life moment by moment, as there is nothing certain and I believe living my life in this moment as this is the most important moment of my life, and at this moment my aim is to get this job.

Q4. What do you want to join this particular sector?

You should be having a good idea of the answer to this question as it may be your first choice or you have worked hard and got the degree to work in this sector or the most booming and stable sector and you would be able to lead a happy and secure life if you join this sector. The answer will change person to person and circumstances, so be sure of giving proper answer as per your case.

We will be discussing more questions in next part…

How to prepare for Interview -1

Questions asked in an interview differ from job to job as they are based on the profile of the job; however, there are some common questions which are asked almost in every interview. Let us discuss some common questions and how a job aspiring candidate should answer them:

Q1. Please tell us something about yourself?

Introduction- This is the time for the candidate to tell the interview panel about himself. Introduction includes basic knowledge about the candidate, his native, educational background, family background and hobbies.

This is the first chance for the candidate to make a good impression on the interview panel. Remember, this is when you talk about yourself and if you are not good in talking about yourself, then you can’t be good in anything else. Your introduction should be simple, brief and defined in such a manner that it should give the interview panel a good idea about yourself.

Most of the time I have heard that my hobby is to play cricket, play chess, play volleyball etc., well, hobby is something which you like to do in your leisure time, now for playing cricket you need two teams which means twenty two players or even if you are talking about gully cricket you need at least 3-4 players. Now, is it certain that other people will also be free to play cricket when you are free? May be not. Hobbies like playing cricket, volleyball etc., should be avoided, instead you should be more creative and unique, and if you are not, at least try.

Q2. Why should we hire you?

Time to talk about your strengths, qualities, and characteristics and make the interview panel believe that hiring you will definitely be beneficial for the organization. You should give a considerable time in preparing for this question. First of all, find out the details of the job profile and then fit yourself in the job profile and present it in a beautified manner in front of the interview panel.

For now, we will be discussing this much only; next time we will talk more as well we will discuss some more questions like..

Q. what is your aim in life?

Q. what do you want to join this particular sector?

Q. why do you want to join this company?

Do you want to sleep more than 8 hrs a day? Think about it again

Every morning when the alarm goes on, you take out your hand out of your blanket and switch it off without even taking out your face out from the blanket. After that you sleep some more time until it becomes an emergency for you to get up coz you are getting late for the office or school. On the weekends, you are habitual of sleeping till late as you have off from office or school and you can afford to enjoy the pleasure of sleep.

If this is the daily routine of your life then you are definitely preparing a platform for developing problems which you will be facing in the future.

Now, if you ask what is the problem in taking a good sleep or if you say that I need to sleep this much to feel good or to keep yourself healthy, then you are wrong. An average person needs a balanced sleep of 6-7 hrs daily in order to keep fit while 5-6 hrs of sleep is also sufficient but sleeping more than 8 hrs is not good for health.

A balanced sleep will make your mood refreshing and keep you healthy, fit and fine while oversleeping will cause lethargy, changes in mood, irritation on getting up.

Have you ever thought that waking up late in the morning on the weekdays will not give you enough time to take breakfast which will keep you hungry for the day till lunch and suppose if you are so busy in the day you are not able to take lunch, then what will be your condition till the time you will be to take dinner.  Even if you take breakfast after getting up late then you will be late for the office and the day will start with BOSS’s scolding.

Now if we focus on the benefits of sleeping reasonably, then let us make a simple calculation. Suppose, a person sleep 8 hrs daily then in a month he is sleeping 240 hrs (30 days *8 hrs), and in a year he sleeps 2880 hrs (240 hrs * 12 months). If he reduces his sleep to 6 hrs daily which is a pretty sufficient amount of sleep then in a month he sleeps for 180 hrs (30 days *6hrs) and in a year he will sleep for 2160 hrs (180 hrs * 12 months). Now by doing simple subtraction you can see a if a person sleeps for an average 6 hrs daily he saves 720 hrs/year and it comes 60 hrs a month and if you want to be more specific then a total saving of 30 days/year is taking place.

Now, just think about it 30 days more in a year at your disposal, how much more work you can do, how much more you can earn, how much more time you can spend with your family and friends and these things will definitely make your life better.

So, say NO to oversleep and make your life bigger and better.

Do's and Don'ts of Zodiac signs

Must read: Zodiac signs and Love
 
Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)
DO'S
Aries are naturally active and vibrant people and they tend to like such people too. You will have to increase your pace to be in step with them. They like and appreciate frank and straightforward persons. With them you can be your true self (but don't try your luck being over frank-they are volatile). If you are in love with an Arien, then you have to show your enthusiasm in all their activities (you can always yawn later!). 
DON'TS
Do not tell an Aries that s/he may be wrong. Any such statement may stir a storm in a teacup. Aries are very faithful and passionate lovers. Do not give air to the smoldering fire within them by making them jealous. No flirtation or fooling around with others in their presence unless of course you wish to write your death wish (you will be granted!). 

Must read: Astrological Knowledge

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)
DO'S
Stability and dependability characterise Taurus. They like people who can blend and grow with them. If you have a Taurus partner you should appreciate all things bright and beautiful. They have an inherent artistic sense and are fond of color and music. Judge life with them from a purely materialistic point of view. Enjoy everything luxurious that money can provide. Enjoy good food (bett! er if you can cook to please them) and good drinks with them. 
DON'TS
Taurus do not loose their temper easily (in fact you may spend the whole life with them and still no spark) but you should not push your luck too much. Being unreasonable or aggressive with them may get you into trouble. Do not press him/her into a corner, and if you do, be prepared for a violent rage. Taurus is capable of violent outbursts though such an event is is very rare occasions. They can be suffocating when they are possessive about you. 


Gemini (May 21-June 21)
DO'S
Gemini is a highly intellectual and versatile person. If you have a Gemini partner you have to match your wits with his/her wits to keep the zing in the relationship. They want to be mentally stimulated so you have to be good at conversing. Your sense of humour will get you a permanent residence in the heart of a Gemini. Be more communicative with them, and if you are good at this, you will never know how hours pass by holding each other's hand. 
DON'TS
Gemini's like to do many things at the same time, so if unfortunately you are the type who is looking for stability you may get disappointed. Do not hold back a Gemini or you may lose him/her, as they are restless and need change in life constantly. You should try to adopt yourself with the ever-changing Gemini. Orthodox or conservative old fashion ideas are no-no in their dictionary. Change with the ever-changing Gemini and do not flow against the current.

Cancer (Jun 22-July 22)
DO'S
Try to adapt yourself with the changing moods of the Cancer. At one moment they may be laughing and enjoying and in another they may sulk. You may have to adjust with the moody and sensitive Cancer. They are like the tides in the ocean, always fluctuating. Cancerians love food, so if you know how to cook and can be poetic and romantic (added Bonus) then you know the way to their heart. 
DON'TS
Cancerians are very sensitive people and can get easily hurt. So do not play with their emotions and sentiments. They are like tides that can sweep you along. They form emotional bonds with even inanimate things, so do not ask them to discard old caps or souvenirs. Such things hold special meaning to them. You have to realise that the crabs have a soft heart and are vulnerable. Do not contradict their tested line of thought and action, it would only lead to confusion. 
 

Must read: Story behind your date of your birth

Leo (Sep 22-Oct23)
DO'S
If you have Leo partner respect him and his majestic manners. Accept the advice of Leo, the lion, as he is the king of the jungle. It is the sign of a showman, so if your partner does everything in grand style enjoy it. They fall easily for flattery and want to be centre of attraction of all eyes (sometimes they can be quiet theatrical too). 
DON'TS
Never ever hurt the ego of a Leo. Pride, ego and vanity are some of the bags Leo's always carry with them. Do not touch these bags. An authoritative Leo is even more difficult to handle in such circumstances. Leo is a sunny sign so they do not like people who are gloomy or depressed. Even if you are crying at heart keep a sunny smile on your lips and then let the lion take charge and remove! all worries from your life. 


Virgo (Aug 23-Sept22)
DO'S
Virgo's are very methodical and have a great sense of duty. However, they are blind to their own faults. So, if you have a Virgo partner emphasise more on their qualities. Take keen interest in what they are doing and you will realise that they will go out of their way to help you. Do rely and appreciate their mental powers rather than their physical powers. They can turn even an unsuccessful venture into a success. 
DON'TS
Do not push a Virgo into limelight or on the centre stage unless of course they do so on their own. They are shy and reserved by nature and do not like to be the cynosure of all eyes. Virgo's have secrets that they would not like to bring out in the open. So, even if you have the key to their secret skeleton-closet, hide it! ; do not even admit that you know anything about it. Virgo, the virgins, do not want to tarnish their public image. 


Libra (Sep 22-Oct 23)
DO'S
Librans need peace and harmony in all their relationships, so help them maintain that. Venus, the ruling planet, gives them beauty and they have weakness for people who can compliment them about their beauty (you will not have to make an effort to do that anyway). You can help Libra seek union and partnership in life. If you have a Libra partner you can be sure to share beautiful and pleasurable moments together. 
DON'TS
Libra is kind and gentle soul but very argumentative. Hence, do not start an argument or discussion unless, of course, you are free and do not know how to pass your time. They hate to lose and most probably during an argument may change sides too (remember scales can tilt) and still continue arguing from the other side. Do not ! push your Libra partner into making decisions. They will keep weighing pros and cons and may still not be able to come to any decision. Have patience ! 


Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)
DO'S
Scorpio's are full of passion and zest for life. They have tremendous drive that can involve you too. Tune in to their wavelength and you can enjoy the harmony and music of life with them. Scorpio's are loyal and never forget a kind deed done by you. If you want to enjoy life with your Scorpio lover, share their passion and intensity and you will be fascinated by how beautiful life can be with them. 
DON'TS
Scorpio's are very passionate and intense but they are also fiercely possessive and would like to possess your mind, body and soul. Do not let seeds of jealousy grow in them because then you may have to suffer agonies of jealousy and discontentment in life. Scorpio's have explosive tempers be careful how you handle them. They never let anyone kn! ow what is going on in their mind till they strike and you may be caught unawares. Do not flirt around in the presence of your Scorpio lover. 


Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
DO'S
Sagittarius is basically a happy go lucky kind. You can enjoy with them their zest and enthusiasm for life. They bubble with excitement. And if you share the same interests and hobbies, life can be great fun together. They are frank and straightforward so if you want some truthful opinion about anything or anyone go to them. Be optimistic as they are and view life as glass half full. 
DON'TS
Sagittarius is fiercely independent and cannot tolerate restriction. Hence, do not try to hold them back in life. Let them enjoy their freedom because if you hold any special place in their heart they will always come back for you. Do not feel irritated by the exaggeration in their speech. They may go on and on, talking about certain things that may not even inte! rest you, but its their way of trying to communicate with you. They are basically frank and outspoken (to the point of being rude), so do not feel offended by their talks. 


Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 20)
DO'S
Capricornia' s are strong and dependable. Hence, if you want to put your money on anyone it is of course this zodiac sign. They are practical and conservative in their outlook and they expect you to blend in their colour. They set certain standards for themselves in their life and they will always try to maintain those standards. For them social status and image is very important in life. 
DON'TS
Do not expect a Capricorn mate to open his/her heart and pour everything to you. They are very secretive and reserved people. They are very thorough in all their affairs and hate any kind of sloppiness. People born under this zodiac are very tight-fisted and economical. Do not expect lavish gifts from them and if they do give you any gift (that is very rare) it will have some practical use (no romance please) but that does not mean you will be deprived of anyt! hing; on the contrary you will be well provided. 


Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 21)
DO'S
Aquarius are friendly and fascinating people. They have in-depth knowledge about various subjects and you can converse with them for hours without getting bored. They are capable of giving a lot of love that can be amazing. They have a very broad outlook of life and you can relax in their presence. They will always welcome your ideas and actions about humanitarian causes. To keep an Aquarius lover interested you must possess that mysterious and intriguing quality. Once hooked they will always be very faithful to you. 
DON'TS
Do not expect or plan a normal, simple and predictable life with an Aquarius partner. Aquarians are totally unpredictable. They can go to any direction without giving any advance notice. They are basically very restless and get bored easily. Though they are very friendly, do not expect them to reveal their inner most feelings to you (they never will). They can be detached and impersonal, which may seem strange to others. 


Pisces (Feb 22-Mar 21)
DO'S
Pisceans are sensitive and charming. If you are looking for someone who is understanding and can understand your feelings then you have met the right person. You should appreciate their feelings too, as in your time of need they are sure to help you. Pisces have a keenly developed sixth sense and have great intuitive powers. Their hunches may usually be right on mark. But they can exhaust their physical and mental energies. They are born dreamers and you can build palaces with your dream lover (only in real life it may become a little difficult preposition) . 
DON'TS
Pisces are dreamers and you should not expect them to have worldly ambitions. They are not materialistic in nature. It is not that they like living below the poverty line but they! have no earnest desire to accumulate wealth. They are very sensitive and you have to be always careful about their feelings. The fishes are capable of drowning you in their tears (even men born under this sign).

Satyamev jayate : constructive criticism or frustration

I read a story and I want to share it with you all: a hunter bought a dog that can walk on water and doesn’t need to swim. One day he took his friend with him for hunting. He kept shooting the ducks and the dog kept bringing the dead ducks from the lake. The hunter was hoping to listen something from his friend about his new dog, but the whole day, friend said nothing. In evening, when they were going home, hunter decided that he will ask his friend about his dog now. He asked his friend, “Haven’t you noticed anything different about the dog? The friend replied “yes, I noticed, he can’t swim.”

I read this story in the book “You can Win” by Shiva Khera and this story tells us about those people who are habitual of looking at the negative aspects and not the positive ones.

In the same way, Satyamev jayate and Aamir Khan has been criticized by a group continuously in regard to various points. There was a big group who praised both the show and the anchor but there were some who thought the other way round.

Let me share some of the points:

1. There is nothing new – absolutely correct, the issues that have been brought up in the show are not new, a lot of activists have been talking about them, but the question is how many were listening to them? Female foeticide, child sexualabuse and dowry system, we all are aware of this evils of society but how many of us will prefer to talk about them.  But when Aamir Khan brought them up, the majority of the nation was listening and many of them have taken them seriously. The content and concept of Satyamev jayate is itself wonderful but Aamir has given it such a big audience that it may not have got if it would have been presented by someone else.

People like Taslima nasreen are so unhappy with the popularity of this program that she says she will publish her next book with the face of the star on the cover, well it is your choice but the star face cant sell your book for too long, in the end it will be the content of book. The only message for Taslima Nasreen is grow up.

2. Earning from sms- I read on one blog that Aamir  Khan always ask people to send sms and this is the way he is trying to earn. If you watch the program, you will know that the sms charge is just Re.1 and not Rs. 5 as in other programs, as well as the money is going to charity, not to the production house.

3. He is charging 3 crores – everybody works for money and even if he is charging 3 crores what is wrong with it, he is doing something good for the society as well.

Satyamev jayate – three weeks of social enlightment

Three episodes out of thirteen of satyamev jayate have been aired on the television, and all of them showed us the status of humanity which is degrading day by day and if we don’t wake up now, there will be more of devils on this earth rather than humans.

The first episode talked about the female foeticide and on various issues concerning it as well its consequences, for eg,. Aamir talked to a group of men in a village from Haryana, who are now around the age of 35 yrs but they are not able to get a girl to get married due to the less number of girls in and around their village, which is a result of female foeticide. The show also talked about the human trafficking of girls and buying and selling of girls as they are objects. The most shocking part was that female doctors are also involved very much in this crime, on one side we talk about a lady as mother and on other side we are seeing a lady as killer. Someone said and how true the biggest enemy of woman on this earth is a woman.

The second episode talked on the topic of child sexual abuse. This episode told us that our kids are not safe even in our homes where we have relatives, and one of them may be a psycho. I firmly believe that a person who likes to get indulge is child sexual abuse is definitely mentally retarded and he/she is dangerous for the society. How sexually frustrated we have become that we are raping the young kids and we are not even considering what effect it will have on their whole life. The shocking fact was that 53% of the kids among the abused were boys, so not even the boys are safe leave alone the safety of girls. Aamir also conducted a workshop with the kids and asked the parents to conduct this type of workshop every six months with their kids.

The third episode was dealing with the issue of dowry system and talked about the evils of dowry and showed us some cases where parents have spent more than their capacity still their daughters are not happy. There was one guest on the show Rani who with her family conducted a sting operation on her would be in-laws and brought them on camera asking for dowry openly. Girls like her are definitely the examples every girl should follow and parents should also remember that a person or family who is making demands will keep on making demands if you keep on fulfilling them. The best way to save your daughter’s life and happiness is to say NO when the first demand comes up.  The show also told us about the forceful marriages in Bihar in which a male is kidnapped and beaten till he agrees to get married, this is done because kidnapping is far cheaper in Bihar than dowry and marriage.
