HOW TO FACE INTERVIEWS

Sample Interview Questions: How will you answer? Your career may depend on it...

Tell me about yourself...

(Your answer should contain much more about your job skills than your personal life.) Talk about the growth of your career, what you learned from previous employment or even things like how your volunteer worked help you develop your organizational, time management and leadership skills.

What are your strengths?

(If you really enjoy new challenges and tackle them in an organized manner, this would be a useful strength in almost any situation.) You can talk about your ability to find unique solutions to problems. Be prepared with some concrete examples, since that may be the follow-up question.

What are your weaknesses?

(A "good" weakness might be that you have trouble leaving the office behind when you go home in the evenings.) This is a very difficult question that is not asked often, but it's one you should prepare for anyway. If you talk about your temper, your tendency to gossip or the fact that you're lazy, you may as well pack up and go home right then. If you mention a weakness such as your lack of patience with people who don't do their share of the work, you should also mention that you keep this impatience to yourself and try very hard not to express it toward others.

Do you have any questions about our company?

(If you have paid attention during the interview and if you have done your homework, this would be a good time to ask for more details about some aspect of the company's organizational structure or products. It would not be a good time to ask about your first raise. You could also ask questions about the community, their training program or details about the work environment.)

Where do you expect your career to be in 10 years?

(Be careful here. You do not want to give the impression that you're simply using this company as a stepping stone to another career. Think of a related managerial position within the company that would interest you.) There is a story about a young accountant who was asked this question by a CPA firm during an interview. The young accountant replied that he saw himself as the comptroller of a large corporation. In other words, "I'm just using your firm to teach me and then after you spend your resources training me, I will leave to go work for someone else." Needless to say, he was not offered a position with the CPA firm. They know that 75% of the people they hire will leave within 10 years, but they do not want to hire someone who comes in with that plan.

What skills do you have that would benefit our company?

(If your skills are not exactly those that the company may have requested, you can point out the skills you have that would be valuable to any company. Examples of these skills are: your ability to plan and execute long-term projects, your ability to organize information into usable data, your ability to research complicated issues, or your ability to work well with a team.) If your skills are not perfect for this particular company, you can mention how quickly you were able to adapt and learn in other situations. Again, be prepared with specific examples in case you are asked to elaborate.

Why did you leave your last job?

(This is not an opening to speak badly of your former employer. There is almost always a way of wording the explanation so that you do not sound like a "problem employee" and your former employer does not sound like an undesirable company.) As unfair as it may seem, there is almost no time when you should say something bad about your former employer. You can talk about the lack of potential for upward mobility, the fact that your job responsibilities changed to the point that it no longer fit into your career plan, your need to move to be closer to your aging parents, the need to reduce travel time, your need for a more challenging job, or anything else that does not get into personalities or other conflicts. If you were fired for cause, you may want to be up front about it, explain the circumstances and accept responsibility for your actions. Practice your answers to this question with someone who has interview experience. However, don't lie. If you can't say anything positive about your former employer, don't say anything. It could come back to haunt you.

IMPORTANT INTERVIEW TIPS:

1. Arrive a little early. If you arrive about fifteen minutes before the scheduled interview time, you will have time to collect your thoughts, wipe the perspiration from your hands, and scan the lobby for current company information. You will also show your interviewer that you value his or her time.

2. Do your homework. Know the interviewer's name and how to pronounce it. Know the company's major products or services, the organization of the company (divisions, parent company, etc.), current business news about the company and the company's major customers and competitors. You can learn most or all of this information from the company's website, annual report or company literature.

3. Bring a Spare Copy of Your Resume.

4. Expect to Spend Some Time Developing Rapport. Personal chemistry is a main ingredient in the hiring process. Try to relax and become comfortable with the interviewer.

5. Watch Your Non-Verbal Communication. Maintain an open body posture and appropriate eye contact. Seat yourself at a reasonable distance from the other person. Smile.

6. Don't Be Embarrassed by Nervousness. Interviewers are human, and they often become nervous, too. In fact, nervousness is a good sign - it shows that you are taking the interview seriously. Avoid nervous mannerisms such as tapping your fingers, feet, playing with pens, etc.

7. Body language is powerful! Good eye contact, a warm, natural smile and a firm handshake can help you overcome nervousness, develop a personal rapport and present a confident image.

8. Don't Play Comedian. It is important to be personable, but do not overdo it.

9. Don't Exaggerate or Lie. You might be tempted to embellish your achievements in the interview, but it will come back to haunt you on the job!

10. Follow the Interviewer's Lead. Don't try to take over the interview. Stick to the main subject at hand, but do not dwell too long on one point. It is better to deal with many questions rather than just one or two in-depth questions, unless that's where the interviewer leads you.

11. Be Prepared For Personal Questions. Anticipate how you will handle personal questions without blowing your cool. Some interviewers may not be aware of what they can and cannot legally ask you. Be sure you understand the question. It is okay to ask for clarification.

12. Emphasize the Positive. Be frank and honest, but never apologize for lack of experience or weaknesses. You can be self-confident without being overconfident If you are new to the job market, your lack of experience has one very positive feature: you do not have to "unlearn" bad habits or different practices learned from previous employers.

13. Many employers like the idea that you can be taught their individual company procedures without needing to get rid of other training first.

14. Wait for an Offer to Bring Up Salary. Let the interviewer bring up this subject. Often salary and benefits are not discussed at all on the first interview. Even though everyone knows that salary is important, you do not want to give the impression that it is the only consideration. If it is, you can be easily lured away be a competitor offering a slightly higher salary. The interviewer needs to see that you are interested in the other aspects of the job like the potential for growth, learning or the challenge of the position.

15. Don't be Afraid to Think Before You Speak. Use silence and intentional pause to your advantage. Time is occasionally needed to think and to reflect. The interviewer will respect you for taking a questions seriously enough to give it a moment or two of consideration before answering.

16. Emphasize What You Can Do For The Organization. This means emphasizing your transferable skills. However, be careful not to reveal trade secrets from a previous employer. Employers are concerned most with what you can do for them. Focus on your ability to tackle new situations, your communication skills, interpersonal abilities, analytical thinking talents, and other skills developed while in college or in previous positions.

17. Don't give "Prepared Answers". Most employers know a these stock answers when they hear them. This is a good reason to use interview question / answer guide as just that - guides. If your answers are not personalized to your situation, they will sound forced and unnatural. You might be surprised to learn how often interviewers hear the phrase, "I really like working with people." The phrase is used so often that it has lost it's meaning!

18. NEVER Speak Badly about a Former Employer. If there were problems with previous experiences, try to put your answers in the positive rather than the negative. If you slight a former employer, the interviewer may assume that you will someday do the same to him or her.

19. Watch Your Grammar and Your Manners. Employers are interested in candidates who can express themselves properly. Even if you have to slow down to correct yourself -- do it! Use slang expressions very sparingly. If your knowledge of rules of etiquette are rusty, take a "refresher course" from a knowledgeable friend.

20. Be Prepared to Ask Questions. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have any questions. You should have some ready and should have at least one that is related to the conversation you have just completed. This demonstrates that you are both prepared and interested. Your questions should be related to details about the company and should be based on the information you learned from the homework you have done. You should not ask questions like "How long to I have to wait before I can take a vacation?" Save those what's-in-it-for-me questions for later.

21. Use Telephone Interviews. If you are applying for jobs in places in other states, you can suggest a short telephone interview. Even a preliminary telephone interview can help you assess whether or not it would be worth your time and expense to travel for a personal interview.

22. Don't Expect an Immediate Job Offer. Offers usually follow the interview, a few weeks later. If you are offered the position on the spot, it is appropriate for you to ask for one or two days to think about the offer before responding.

23. Be Careful With the Closing. Thank your interviewer for the interview. Smile.

24. Be Yourself! You do not want to get hired on the basis of something you are not. You want to be hired for who you are!

Good communication skills are like a stimulating black coffee, just as hard to sleep after….Anne Masrow Linbergh

Being in HR one needs to be a very good communicator. But by having mere “Good Communication” will do? Guess NO. Along with good communication an effective HR should also have good attitude and ample amount of patience (which actually one should have in one’s professional/personal life as well).

Having “Good Communication Skills” will definitely do but they are like an ingredient for any dish, one will any how have it if he is hungry but being presentable is more important. Good communication skills along with polite and sweet talk are like icing on the cake that one must adhere to while communicating. These icing do wonders they make the customers buy it and eat it as well, same is with HR, the softer and polite a HR is, the sooner people are impressed and the work gets done.

Not many of us get into top industries where all are highly educated and excellent in their communications. We at many times encounter people who are not even average at their Comm. Skills; this is where your attitude and people skills get into the action. By being in a consulting firm this is your daily cup of tea, you need to listen to people, convince them and follow them for jobs, training etc. During this phase of your day you need to be quite patient, good listener, and have that smile on your face in order to show them that you are having great time talking to them (which is trust me a Hercules task).

Yes!!! One should not be arrogant in dealing with such people (no matter how bad your mood for the day is) else your prospective candidate is lost (as we all work in target driven industries). But, lets us not ignore that, YES!!! Polite and sugary talks is one such attribute which every person should possess or imbibe (especially if your have just stepped in the industry) as many people like to be addressed in a polite and a sweet manner.

No doubt one has to have good communication skills but at the same time the icing is very important, else people may buy it but may not actually have it. In fields like Marketing and HR these are the key attributes one MUST HAVE in order to succeed in life.

ALL THE BEST for all those who are going to take their step into the industry and hope the next time you are communicating your thoughts or ideas before them, you make sure that you are polite and sweet towards them.

DRESSING RIGHT!!! DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE...

Do you know it takes less than 20 seconds to make that first impression and in casting this, the way you look matters the most. You either make it or you don’t.

In this expanding and fierce global village, every single organization is now seeking for employees who are versatile in all the aspects. “Being domain specific”- is no longer the mantra, employers hire individuals who are “Generalized” (General here means having little or adequate knowledge in all the functionalities of the industry).

Employers in today’s scenario are seeking for individuals who are presentable and extroverts. When s/he is employed in an organization from that very first day they become the face of the organization, which indirectly portray the work cult of the organization as well.

I work as a HR in a Consulting firm and my daily job includes interacting with different cadre of people. As I work in a Consulting firm my day starts with seeing different people looking for jobs, and that I end up judging them and there level of intellect (through the way they carry them selves ). YES!!! One does cast an impression when you look at them, which is an undeniable fact.

It has been seen that organization fires employees who do not adhere to the dressing rules mentioned by them. These days it is compulsory that when one goes for an interview or work place maintaining proper and decent attire is a must.

By being into HR field, people tend to follow you. HR becomes the face of the company. They generally look up to you for your communication skills, people skills, and other non-verbal aspects as well where dressing also plays a vital role. It has also been observed that people are more inclined to you when you’re properly dressed and presentable that is when people take you seriously.

No matter in which field/domain you are in or which industry you belong to, you need to be respected and looked up for, this not only makes you feel good but also boosts your confidence levels from within and also helps you in having an edge over the others.

15 Best Firefox Extension....

There are lots of browser in the market but in my opinion FireFox is the Best. It has so many features like pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, and increased security. Firefox’s design allows the user to extensively customize the browser to their individual tastes and needs through the use of extensions and themes. Additionally, Firefox stores many hidden preferences which can be manipulated to turn on or off many other features.
Firefox extensions are small add-on programs that add a new piece of functionality to the browser. These extensions can range from adding a new toolbar button to adding a completely new feature. The great thing about these extensions is that you can choose which extensions you want to add.

The following is a list of the 15 of the best extensions for Firefox.

1. Tab Mix Plus
Tab Mix Plus provides the user with complete customization over how tabs operate in Firefox. Options include changing the display appearance of tabs, protecting tabs, reopening closed tabs, and selecting how and where links open.

2. Adblock Plus
Adblock Plus removes unwanted content, such as ads or flash, from a web page based on a set of user defined filters. A companion to Adblock Plus, Adblock Filterset.G Updater, automatically downloads the latest version of a set of filters which will block most ads on the web. Adblock Plus is an offshoot of the original Adblock extension.

3. Greasemonkey
Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension which allows the user to modify web sites to improve functionality or appearance. This extension associates a bit of code with specific web pages. This code runs every time you visit the page, dynamically changing the appearance and functionality of a page. In many ways, these scripts are just Firefox extensions in a different format.

4. All-in-One Sidebar
The All-in-One Sidebar extension adds a sidebar panel to the browser allowing the user to quickly switch between windows, such as the downloads, extensions, or themes window. Inspired by the Opera sidebar, this extension includes a toolbar which can be customized.

5. SpellBound
SpellBound provides a spell checker similar to one seen in a word processor. As a word is entered in any text box on the page, Spellbound highlights the misspelled words with a red dotted underline. The spelling can then be easily corrected by clicking on the red underlined word and Spellbound will pop up a menu with potential corrections, providing a choice of which word to replace.

6. Reveal
Reveal shows thumbnails of open tabs or as browsing through the history list. It can be managed using the keyboard or the mouse. There are two quality and similar extensions available that operate in much the same way: Viamatic foXpose and Showcase.

7. PDF Download
The PDF Download extension allows the user to choose how to handle PDF (Adobe Acrobat) files. Every time a PDF link is clicked on, this extension offers the choice of whether to open the pdf file inside a new tab, download it to the computer, or view it as HTML.

8. IE View Lite
IE View Lite provides one-click access to Internet Explorer for a selected page from the Firefox context menu. A neat thing about this extension is that it will allow you to jump to any browser, such as Opera, by changing the IE path in the extension settings. In addition, you can set any site to open in IE whenever it is loaded in Firefox.

9. All-in-One Gestures
The All-in-One Gestures extension provides for management of mouse gestures, scrolling, and power navigation.

10. NoScript
NoScript provides full user control over what domains allow javascripts to run. NoScript can also block Flash, Java, disallow bookmarklets to work, and block or allow the ‘ping’ attribute of a tag.

11. FoxyTunes
Foxy Tunes places controls for the media player of your choice within the Firefox toolbar. You can pause, forward/reverse, play, adjust the volume, and view what is playing. Almost all major media players are supported. You can find a number of FoxyTunes skins here.

12. Download Them All
Download Them All will download, in just one click, all the links or images contained in a web page through a set of customizable filters.

14. Wizz NewsReader
The Wizz NewsReader is a fully functional news reader extension. It works with works with Atom 0.3, Atom 1.0, all versions of RSS, and supports Podcast feeds.

14. Image Zoom
Image Zoom provides control of the size of images that are displayed in Firefox. Images can be zoomed in or out, to allow for easy viewing of images.

15. Livelines
Livelines allows for the customization of the “add live bookmark” icon found in the Firefox location bar. Instead of adding an RSS feed as a “live bookmark” within Firefox, Livelines can add the RSS feed to an online aggregator, such as Bloglines or Feedlounge, or to an desktop based RSS software, with a click of the mouse. Webmail Compose will accomplish a similar idea with email. Webmail Compose opens a selected webmail program’s (e.g. Hotmail, Gmail) compose window if any email addresses are clicked on.

7. Increase Your Feed Subscribers with 5 Simple Tips

Here are some interesting tips on how to get more Blog Subscribers. I know some of you may think that you don’t want a large part of your readers reading from their feed readers because it is much harder to monetize a feed than it is monetize your already running blog.

Here’s five step how to increase your feed readers:

Content is King:-
This advice is almost mandatory in all blog advice posts. Regardless of how simple it is to subscribe to your blog, visitors will not subscribe to your blog if your content isn’t interesting. So go ahead, implement these changes and get back to writing your blog.

Offer full feeds:-
Do not try to trick your feed subscribers by offering partial content. No matter how catch your title or excerpt is, they are not going to click through every time. RSS feed subscribers are busy people and often have dozens of feeds they have to get through before they can sleep peacefully. They’ll tolerate your stinginess for a while and then hit the ‘unsubscribe’ button. So always offer them full Feeds.

Don’t display your RSS count button:-
If your subscriber base is less than 100. So don,t display youur RRS Count Button. People often like to read what other people are reading and a small subscriber count may turn them off or might seem as if your content isn’t worth subscribing. When you have a large enough (subjective) subscriber base, feel free to flaunt it around.

‘Asking’ your readers to subscribe:-
Ask for Subscription at the end of each post, like this -I hope you enjoyed reading this post. You may now subscribe to my RSS Feed or receive daily updates on your Email .

Visibility:-
How visible is your feed button. Try this one to attract some attention to it. You can drop this RSS Button Bomb once a week.
