Now No Tough Interview Questions!!!

1. Tell me about yourself.
   It seems like an easy interview question. Its open ended. I can talk about whatever I want from the birth canal forward. Right?
   Wrong. What the hiring manager really wants is a quick, two- to three-minute snapshot of who you are and why youre the best candidate for this position.
   So as you answer this question, talk about what youve done to prepare yourself to be the very best candidate for the position. Use an example or two to back it up. Then ask if they would like more details. If they do, keep giving them example after example of your background and experience. Always point back to an example when you have the opportunity.
   Tell me about yourself does not mean tell me everything. Just tell me what makes you the best.
2. Why should I hire you?
   The easy answer is that you are the best person for the job. And dont be afraid to say so. But then back it up with what specifically differentiates you.
   For example: You should hire me because Im the best person for the job. I realize that there are likely other candidates who also have the ability to do this job. Yet I bring an additional quality that makes me the best person for the job--my passion for excellence. I am passionately committed to producing truly world class results. For example . . .
   Are you the best person for the job? Show it by your passionate examples.
3. What is your long-range objective?
   Make my job easy for me. Make me want to hire you.
   The key is to focus on your achievable objectives and what you are doing to reach those objectives.
   For example: Within five years, I would like to become the very best accountant your company has on staff. I want to work toward becoming the expert that others rely upon. And in doing so, I feel Ill be fully prepared to take on any greater responsibilities which might be presented in the long term. For example, here is what Im presently doing to prepare myself . . .
   Then go on to show by your examples what you are doing to reach your goals and objectives.
4. How has your education prepared you for your career?
   This is a broad question and you need to focus on the behavioral examples in your educational background which specifically align to the required competencies for the career.
   An example: My education has focused on not only the learning the fundamentals, but also on the practical application of the information learned within those classes. For example, I played a lead role in a class project where we gathered and analyzed best practice data from this industry. Let me tell you more about the results . . .
   Focus on behavioral examples supporting the key competencies for the career. Then ask if they would like to hear more examples.
5. Are you a team player?
   Almost everyone says yes to this question. But it is not just a yes/no question. You need to provide behavioral examples to back up your answer.
   A sample answer: Yes, Im very much a team player. In fact, Ive had opportunities in my work, school and athletics to develop my skills as a team player. For example, on a recent project . . .
   Emphasize teamwork behavioral examples and focus on your openness to diversity of backgrounds. Talk about the strength of the team above the individual. And note that this question may be used as a lead in to questions around how you handle conflict within a team, so be prepared.
6. Have you ever had a conflict with a boss or professor? How was it resolved?
   Note that if you say no, most interviewers will keep drilling deeper to find a conflict. The key is how you behaviorally reacted to conflict and what you did to resolve it.
   For example: Yes, I have had conflicts in the past. Never major ones, but there have been disagreements that needed to be resolved. I've found that when conflict occurs, it helps to fully understand the other persons perspective, so I take time to listen to their point of view, then I seek to work out a collaborative solution. For example . . .
   Focus your answer on the behavioral process for resolving the conflict and working collaboratively.
7. What is your greatest weakness?
   Most career books tell you to select a strength and present it as a weakness. Such as: I work too much. I just work and work and work. Wrong. First of all, using a strength and presenting it as a weakness is deceiving. Second, it misses the point of the question.
   You should select a weakness that you have been actively working to overcome. For example: I have had trouble in the past with planning and prioritization. However, Im now taking steps to correct this. I just started using a pocket planner . . . then show them your planner and how you are using it.
   Talk about a true weakness and show what you are doing to overcome it.
8. If I were to ask your professors to describe you, what would they say?
   This is a threat of reference check question. Do not wait for the interview to know the answer. Ask any prior bosses or professors in advance. And if theyre willing to provide a positive reference, ask them for a letter of recommendation.
   Then you can answer the question like this:
   I believe she would say I'm a very energetic person, that Im results oriented and one of the best people she has ever worked with. Actually, I know she would say that, because those are her very words. May I show you her letter of recommendation?
   So be prepared in advance with your letters of recommendation.
9. What qualities do you feel a successful manager should have?
   Focus on two words: leadership and vision.
   Here is a sample of how to respond: The key quality in a successful manager should be leadership--the ability to be the visionary for the people who are working under them. The person who can set the course and direction for subordinates. The highest calling of a true leader is inspiring others to reach the highest of their abilities. I'd like to tell you about a person whom I consider to be a true leader . . .
   Then give an example of someone who has touched your life and how their impact has helped in your personal development.
10. If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change?
    Focus on a key turning point in your life or missed opportunity. Yet also tie it forward to what you are doing to still seek to make that change.
    For example: Although Im overall very happy with where Im at in my life, the one aspect I likely would have changed would be focusing earlier on my chosen career. I had a great internship this past year and look forward to more experience in the field. I simply wish I would have focused here earlier. For example, I learned on my recent internship… …then provide examples.
    Stay focused on positive direction in your life and back it up with examples.

NOW NO CONFUSION--->>CV Vs RESUME!!!

Curriculum Vitae vs Resume - Not The Same Thing

While most of us use the terms 'Curriculum Vitae' (CV) and 'Resume' interchangeably, there is a difference between these two documents.

To understand this, let us look at the literal meaning of these two terms:
Curriculum Vitae: The course of life And Resume: summary

The primary difference between a CV and a resume is the length and the purpose. A resume is a shorter, briefer summary of your skills and experience. A goal of resume writing is to be brief and concise since, at best; the resume reader will spend a minute or so reviewing your qualifications. A Curriculum Vitae, commonly referred to as CV, is a longer (two or more pages), more detailed synopsis. It includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details.
The Curriculum Vitae
The main features of the CV are outlined in brief below:

1. The Curriculum Vitae is a list of all your achievements until the date you are submitting it, presented in reverse chronological order (i.e. the latest achievements first)
2. The Curriculum Vitae is ideally two pages in length, though it can sometimes go up to three to five pages
3. The Curriculum Vitae would include everything that you have done and can be classified as work outside the home - whether paid or unpaid; hence, it is okay if the Curriculum Vitae contains voluntary and honorary positions and work done in such positions
4. The Curriculum Vitae structure is very systematic and is generally drawn in a specific order
5. The Curriculum Vitae is normally accompanied by a cover letter, which summarizes what it contains and points out the match of the applicant with the job
6. A Curriculum Vitae can be written in the following three styles: functional CV, targeted CV and performance CV

The Resume
The main features of the Resume are as under:

1. A resume is a precise and very brief document representing at-a-glance your key skills and main achievements
2. A resume should not be longer than one page, unless in rare exceptions
3. A resume would contain of only what is strictly relevant to the job applied and nothing else - it is more important here to have all the information contained within one page, that representing the information it in totality
4. The resume would highlight your skills and achievements above all other things
5. The resume is usually presented without a cover letter because the main reason you are submitting the resume, is fast processing; a cover letter would defeat the purpose
6. A resume usually can be written in three very different styles - (i) Chronological resume - whereby your skills and main achievements are listed by date starting with the most recent ones first, (ii) Functional resume - whereby your skills and experience are more highlighted than anything else and (iii) a combination of both - whereby both skill and achievements are presented hand-in-hand.

Curriculum vitae and Resume - So Similar Yet Different!
As mentioned above, the CV is mostly used throughout the world, while the US companies are more comfortable with resumes; this is mostly because it is faster and easier to scan through the one-page resume than a Curriculum Vitae and it forces the applicant to be very specific.
When applying for a job, it is most important to put your best foot forward. Whether your prospective employer uses the term "resume" or "CV", make sure that you know what he or she is looking for in the document. Once you have this information, you can work on creating a knock-out resume or CV that will help you land your job.

"corporate governance policy for colleges"

 Ya it seems strange. but after completing my whole career, a strong thought came to my mind that there is a crying need for an hour is "CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICY FOR COLLEGES". 
now and then we students everyday become a part of politics played in colleges. and without any fault of our we became victim of this dirty games. due to the ego and the internal conflicts of the authorities we have to suffer. We struggle for whole career. we give our best, but end of the day due to this politics only we get nothing for our  work. 


so it needs that the similar kind of policies and framework which applied to the corporates through CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. it should made compulsory for colleges. so that all the colleges have to show there every details. and they dont get to chance to do any blunder and show the wrong figures of results and placements. and so that the current and future students get power to know the truth of every colleges.


what you think friends is it not right to apply  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE to colleges also??
come forward and make our voice louder for this step
