Hello friends! Here is some quality information for all of you. The tcs soft skills seminar which was conducted on 17th November 2007. Heres the summary not as good as the seminar but quite useful. Here's the right way to prepare your Resume according to Doctor. Ayaz Aladdin. Many people begin with an objective . Please avoid writing anything of this kind. Remember a resume is supposed to contain only tangible and factual data. 1. Personal Information: The first section will consist of all your personal information. Such as your name, address, age or birth date, contact details [phone number and e-mail ID if any]. 2. Educational Qualification: The second section will consist of your educational qualification. Here you will write the name of the course completed first such as S.S.C, H.S.C, T.Y. etc. You can also specify your additional qualifications in this section. Next to the name of the course you will need to specify the name of the school, college or institute from where you have completed the course. Then you will need to specify the percentage, grade or class that you have obtained. Please remember begin from your ssc 10th marks. 3. Professional Qualification: In this section you will need to provide information regarding your work experience. You can start with your current or [if not currently working ] your last job first. Here you will need to specify the company or organization name followed by the tenure of your working and also tell a little about your exact job profile. Even if you have no work experience, you should still make this section and write something like "Starting my career now". 4. Personal Interests: Here you can give a list of things you are interested in or are your hobbies. For e.g. reading, listening to music, clay modeling, writing short stories and poems, etc. While preparing your resume you should make sure that it should not exceed more than 2 pages. You can use 14 point size for the headings and 12 point size for the remaining of the CV. How to prepare yourself before an interview? Before you go for an interview, the first thing you need to do, is to have full knowledge about the company or organization. Thus it is necessary for you to seek any information that you can get about the company profile. For e.g. if they are dealers, you will need to find out what are the products that they deal in, what is their annual turn over, etc. The second thing you need to prepare yourself in would be the topics for which you are applying. For e.g., if you are applying for the post of an accountant, you will have to brush up well on your accounts etc. Grooming: It is absolutely necessary for you to properly groom yourself before any interview. For boys they should have a clean shave, a good hair cut, wear a good ironed shirt and pant, keep the shirt tucked in, polished shoes, etc. They can carry a nice folder in which they can keep their certificates etc. For girls, they should wear good decent looking outfits. If wearing Indian dress, they should make sure that their dupatta is properly pinned, their hair should be properly combed and pinned, wearing a little make up is always good but they should not over do it, and they should avoid loading themselves with accessories as well as avoid anything which will make a lot of noise. They can also carry a decent looking bag in which they can keep their certificates etc. Beginning of the Interview: It is absolutely necessary for the candidate to reach at least half an hour before the interview. This is because, it shows the interviewer how serious he or she is about punctuality. It also helps the candidate to do last minute preparations or may be he or she could ask the office staff who are interacting , a few questions about the company while he or she is waiting for the interview to begin. Also one really needs time for getting accustomed to the environment. When the candidate is called in for the interview, he or she should firmly walk towards the room. They should first knock at the door and ask "May I come in Sir or Mam". When asked to come in, he or she should enter and stand next to the seat until asked to have a seat. They should then greet the interviewer politely addressing the interviewer as Sir or Madam and not call them by their name. They should not have a hand shake if not offered. Body Posture: It is necessary for the candidates to sit in the proper position. They should sit with their back straight and their hands resting on the arm rest. They should not fold their legs or shake them since that is a sign of nervousness. Now here are some likely questions where the interviewer may manage to puzzle you. 1 tell me something about yourself Now the ideal answer would be you start by telling your name then about your father and mother and their current employment or business. Then say we are - number of siblings . never phrase it like this etg I have 1 brother . always use we because it signifies unity. In short you have to give a brief up about your family.beginning with your mane , age and may be place where you live. 2 how do you think the company will benefit by hiring you. Eg if you are applying for a admin assistant post then the benefit you will tell your employer is thet you have done a documentation course . This means you have to enlist your technical knowledge here. 3 what are your strengths I believe in punctuality I have a passion of learning new things These are some examples of the answers you can enlist. . always use words like believe and passionate about. 4 your weakness Eg I cannot b in the company of bad team players Or I am too much of a perfectionist Remember your weakness should not be weakness actually but your strengths presented in some other way. Never give answers like I have a bad temper. 5 your achievement in life Any answer you give here should show your sense of fulfillment . 6 one disappointment in life First and foremost never bring your handicap or challenge as an answer. This question is asked to see your ability to bounce back in life. After a particular rough patch. 7 anything you want to tell us Here you should enlist the risks u have taken over and above your job and also innovations done by you. Then he will say the interview is over But this signifies that the interview is not really over he is testing you. Its actually now time to ask him questions . one or 2 questions about the organization. "is it ok sir if I ask you a question" As may be about job timings or transport. Avoid sensitive questions like turnover of the organization. Then the closing at the end of the interview Thank you so much for your time . it was a nice feeling talking to you. I look forward to working with your organisation. Then say can I have a hand shake and extend your hand . shake it once , give a slight nod and a broad smile . so smile while entering and while leaving . In a hand shake the grip is very important. Hope this helps! many thanks! regards! Mamta. To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
