CV | Resume Writing

Before an interview you should have your resume / curriculum vitae ready. It’s through this document that the interviewer knows about the candidate. There are two formats commonly followed for making resumes. You spent time in organizing your resume well so that the interviewer will see all what he should. These are also needed to apply online for any job. When applying online for a job you will have to upload your resume. The employer will get 1000s of such resumes. Here a program is used to select the best resumes. This program will search for some keywords in your resume and if a match is found you are in!!! Given below are some of the keywords you should use when making a resume.

1. Organized

2. Developed

3. Won

4. Triggered

5. Initiated

Group Discussion

GDs came all the way from IIM admission procedure. This part of the selection procedure is intended to test the communication skill of the candidate. It also aims at analyzing the behavior of the candidate in a group. There is not a single company that assigns projects to individuals. Instead the assignment is given to a group. So the company should ensure that the candidate is capable of working in a group and thus the GD. The candidates who cleared all the previous rounds are called in groups (usually 10 members) for the GD. A topic is given by the moderator and the candidates are allowed to speak on it for 10 minutes aprox. The moderator notes each person and gives them grades. Finally a candidate should conclude. These are some of the things

that should be kept in

mind when taking part in a GD:

DOs:

1.

Have a smiling face

2.

Speak politely

3.

Try to start the discussion; there are special points for it

4.

Look into the eyes of other members when you speak

5.

Speak clearly and audibly

6.

Put in as many points as you can

7.

Try to moderate the discussion

8.

Try to conclude

DON'T:

1.

Do not interrupt a speaker

2.

Do not look at the moderator

3.

Do not keep your legs crossed

4.

Do not argue; it’s not a debate

5.

Do not beat around the bush.



Technical Interview

Any company needs those who are sound at the basics. It’s easy, they know, to teach a person who has the basics. Tech. Interview aims at testing the basic knowledge of a candidate. Here what you have learnt are put to test. For some companies this round may last up to 2 hours. The questions mainly come from the following areas:-

1. C

2. C++

3. DBMS

4. OS

5. Software Engineering

6. Computer Networks

7. Digital

Sample Tech. Interview Qs

When the interviewer asks some totally strange question all on a sudden it is possible that even the most smart candidate can have a shiver in his spines. To avoid such situations it is a good idea to glance through some of these questions when you prepare.

What are your favorite subjects?

What is a function pointer?

Write some C programs…

What is OOP?

What are its features? Explain each:-

What is normalization? Why is it needed?

Which are all the types of normal forms?

What is an OS?

Explain OSI reference model:-



HR Interview

Provided the candidate has the skill set he is presented before the HR manager for the ultimate test, the HR interview!!! Here the aim is to asses the different soft skills of the candidate like positive thinking, leadership, responsibility etc. The HR manager can surprise you with any sort of question that if not heard before can put you down. So again I urge you to have a glance at these questions!!!

Sample HR Interview Questions

1. Introduce yourself

2. Can you sing a song?

3. Can you tell me a joke?

4. Your weakness??

5. Why should we hire you?

6. Where do you see yourself after 5 years?

Unknown Facts About Your Mobile

noreply@blogger.com (Pramod Kr. Kushwaha) — Tue, 31 May 2011 22:45:00 +0000

1) Emergency number the Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly …this number 112 can be dialed even while the keypad is locked. Try it out.

2) Locked the keys in the car? Your car has remote keys? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you happen to lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car will unlock.Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).Editor’s Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!”

3) Hidden Battery power imagine your cell battery is very low, u r expecting an important call and u don’t have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370#Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when u charge your cell next time.

4) How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either.

5) Be careful while using your mobile phone
When you try to call someone through mobile phone,don’t put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers. Because directly after dialling, the mobile phone would use it’s maximum signalling power, which is: 2 watts = 33dbi, Plz Be Careful, Message as received (Save your brain) Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right one it will affect brain directly. This is a true fact.

Will your resume get you the interview call...?

noreply@blogger.com (Pramod Kr. Kushwaha) — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 03:33:00 +0000

IT is an act in creating your personal brand image. Your resume reaches the interviewer before you do. Yet, many people lose out on an interview opportunity thanks to a poorly written one. Your resume is the first step in projecting yourself effectively to the recruiter.

So create an image that you genuinely identify with – it is a sharp world out there and no one is buying false niceties. We address ten important issues related to your resume.

1. Should your resume have a career goal/ objective statement? A resume that is worthy of representing you, should clearly state your career objective. A career objective is an indirect way of advertising what all you would bring to the company/ role. It must display a ‘giving’ attitude and not a ‘taking’ attitude.

Take a look at this: “To achieve an appreciable status in an organization that offers full scope for growth and where I can fulfill my aspiration of becoming a world class software professional.”

And this: “Be a part of an organization that recognises my skills and provides me with suitable environment to perform to the best of my ability.”

Do either of the above display a ‘giving’ attitude? Your answer is correct. They don’t. So now you know how NOT to write an objective statement! It is advisable to keep the objective statement simple and specific. Let it focus on the direct value addition that you can provide.

Example: “A certified Software Programmer seeking opportunity in the area of Software Development in a competitive work environment to utilize my skills to deliver robust and innovative software solutions.”

2. What sequence should your story follow?

Be it work experience or education, always tell the story from the current/ most recent to the first. NEVER write it the other way round.

3. Does your resume need to mention your marital status?

The new age resume does not require you to mention your marital status. However, if the job advertisement clearly states this as a requirement, do fulfil it. Quick Take

* Include a sharp Career Goal

* Choose the pdf format with discretion

* Fonts: Use Times New Roman, Calibri or Verdana

* Run a spell check

* Tweak to suit position and company of a potential employer

* Your latest work stint must appear first

4. How should you treat references?

Unless you have been specifically asked to provide references, it is acceptable to state in your covering letter/ email that you will provide references on request. Usually, two references are sufficient. Try to provide references from the two most recent phases of your career.

It is a good idea to inform the referees that you are giving out their contact information. It will also help if they know what kind of jobs you are applying for.

5. Should you send the resume as an MS Word document or a PDF? Some organisations ask you to upload your resume. Usually they ask for an MS Word document. If you are mailing across your resume, you could choose either format.

A word of caution – do not get carried away if you decide to make it a PDF. Keep it simple – leave out visual histrionics. And whatever software you choose – send the resume in the most commonly used version.

The biggest advantage of using a pdf format is that it preserves the formatting irrespective of the version of the Acrobat Reader version or user settings.

In MS word, however, the formatting can change based on the MS Office version and User Settings, leading to awkward situations like a two-page resume becoming a 3 -page document. Or a section title like Educational Background coming on Page 2 comes with the details going to Page 3.

However, if the company insists on a word document, please send the resume in word format only. Lot of organisations have tools to extract information from Word documents and if you do not send your resume in Word document, your resume may not get processed at all!

6. Should you incorporate links in the resume?

If you are an engineer who writes a technical blog, go ahead and incorporate the link in your resume. If you are a website developer, the links to the pages created by you would certainly help. However, spare the recruiter from links of your personal blogs, photographs and anything and everything that you scatter on the World Wide Web. In fact, providing the link to your personal blog may even prove fatal if you publish office gossip or crib about your job!

7. What sort of job profiles demand a portfolio?

Artists, designers, photographers, models and those from the performing arts definitely need to provide a portfolio. An artist model/ photographer/ designer may want to include a Power Point or PDF, while a dancer/ actor/ singer may want to mention links from sites like YouTube. Irrespective of the type of portfolio, the intention is simply to showcase your best and most relevant work.

8. What fonts / presentation styles make sense?

Go easy on choosing fonts and presentation styles. The most acceptable ones are the simpler ones. It is advisable to use fonts like ‘Times New Roman’, ‘Calibri’ and ‘Verdana’. Do not get tempted by the fancier ones. The resume is not the platform to exhibit your artistic inclinations. Also, keep the fonts and font sizes uniform across different categories in the resume.

You should zero in on a presentation style with just one thing in mind – it should be extremely presentable. By creating minimum chaos, it should elicit the maximum attention.

Some people choose to give the resume a fancy header with their name and contact information in bold. This gives it a ‘letter head’ look. Some go for a more conventional style by listing out such information in bullet points. Either style is absolutely fine.

In writing about your project work, education and work experience, you could provide a box format or a neatly tabulated one.

9. What are the worst resume gaffes? The worst thing you could do is to send in a resume without running a grammar/ spelling check. In this age of MS Word, grammar/ spelling mistakes in a resume are just not tolerated. Needless to say, anyone would straight away trash a resume that is saved as supersexy2010.doc or rockstar.doc. One gentleman I knew failed to get a single interview call after sending out more than 80 applications. I probed a little and was shocked to find out why – he had sent out group mails! Do not try to pass around your resume/ covering letter without modifying it to suit the company / role you are applying for. It is offending if your application reads like:

Dear _______, I am applying for the role of ___________________ at your esteemed organisation _____________________.

It shows and it is NOT acceptable!!!

10. What is the difference in writing a resume for a BPO professional/ Engineer/ MBA? If you are a BPO aspirant, you need to highlight your ability to deal with all kinds of people, chase targets and work in shifts. If you are an engineer, your resume should clearly talk about your projects and internships. Expect a fair number of questions from these areas in the interview. An MBA student would also need to write about projects and training.

World's 'first hack-free' software developed

noreply@blogger.com (Pramod Kr. Kushwaha) — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 11:12:00 +0000

Scientists have developed what they claim is the world's first hack-free softwarewhich can protect systems from failure or malicious attacks.

The 'seL4' microkernel has been developed by a team led by Australia's ICT Research Centre of Excellence's spinout company -- Open Kernel Labs(OK Labs). It is a small operating system kernel which regulates access to a computer's hardware.

Its unique feature is that it has been mathematically proven to operate correctly, enabling it to separate trusted from untrusted software, protecting critical services from a failure or a malicious attack, say the scientists.

In future applications, seL4 could ensure that trusted financial transaction software from secure sources like banks or stock exchanges can operate securely on a customer's mobile phone alongside "untrusted" software, such as games downloaded from the Internet, according to its developers.

It could also provide a secure and reliable environment for mission-critical defence data, operating on the same platform as everyday applications like email. Or, it could protect the life-supporting functions of an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker, from hacking, they say.

"Our seL4 microkernel is the only operating system kernel in existence whose source code has been mathematically proven to implement its specification correctly. Under the assumptions of the proof, the seL4 kernel for ARM11 will always do precisely what its specification says it will do," lead scientist Gerwin Klein said.

Added another scientist Gernot Heiser, "Verification of operating-system kernels has been attempted since the 1970s -- we pulled it off!"

B-school night canteens: Mauj masti and life

noreply@blogger.com (Pramod Kr. Kushwaha) — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 03:25:00 +0000

For the khaana-peena in b-schools there is a mess. But for the mauj-masti along with thekhaana-peena and the padhna, there are night canteens.

All the b-schools, especially the residential ones, have night canteens and they are just so much more than eating places. And that's because night canteens are open at that time when students need a corner of comfort the most during the night when they are busy studying.

The working day, rather the night of an MBA undergrad ends with the night canteen. It is only fitting to say that it carries the day's energies and emotions of the students. Even as post graduates, the memories that linger the most are those of the night canteen.

Gupshup n food

Unlike the regular mess, which is solely for the purpose of eating, the night canteen is food plus much more.

Most canteens open any time between 9 pm and 11 pm and stay on till 4 am and after. Since those are the hours students are generally awake to work on their projects or simply study, the night canteen is the only source of gupshup and food if at all.

During the day the students are usually busy with their classes et al. The food in the night canteen has a character of its own.

Though there is always a variety of dishes available, most night canteens have a signature dish. According to Abhiram R from IIM Lucknow vegetarian and chicken rolls are the most sought after in his b-school night canteen.

Mayur Nikam, a PGP-1 student from IIMA told Pagalguy that continental food is quite the highlight of his night canteen. But for Mohit Garg also from IIMA he says, "my personal favourite is vegetarian cheese Maggi with a glass of hot milk."

For IIMC, the night canteen is as known for its experimental recipes as much as for popular stuff. Anand Ramachandran recommends that Wet Wolfram Rice a recipe created by the students themselves is a must-try. "This dish has taken everybody by storm in the school," he says.

For IIM Ranchi it is parathas and for IIM Kozhikode, momos is a popular dish. Tarun Daga who has just passed out of Praxis, Kolkata says that pakodas were the most sought after dish at his night canteen. Since IIM Ranchi canteen is an Amul franchise, ice-cream is also available all the time and is a big favourite any month of the year.

"Even if it is cold outside, the warmth of a huge crowd of people sitting together and relaxing in the canteen makes it ice-cream time anytime," says Ankur Tiwari from IIM Ranchi.

In all night canteens however, there is one dish which is an across-the-board favourite and that is Maggi noodles. "The fastest available wholesome food one can have at any time," says Shubhankar Rai from IIM Ranchi. Another popular choice among all the night canteens is the variety of egg dishes. Since they are easy to make and different dishes can be made, all the night canteens always keep a pile of egg-crates within reach.

All the night canteens have staff that work only through the night to make sure that the students are well-fed and kept on their toes to (hopefully) study harder.

Terrace flat

Most night canteens are on the ground floor of any one of the buildings in the campus. At IIM-L, the regular canteen doubles up as a night canteen and there are two additional food shops run by students. IIM-A night canteen is conveniently located between the old and new campuses and nestled among tall trees while IIM Ranchi's night canteen is on the second floor of the hostel next to the study and recreation rooms.

The Praxis night canteen is in a different league however. Perched on the terrace, it is designed aesthetically and has soft lighting and unique seating arrangement. It actually resembles a four-star restaurant and the perpetual strong breeze at night makes it a perfect rendezvous for those who want to have a little fun with studies.

Adds Daga, "During winters, there was nothing better than the night canteen. We would all sit huddled together, eating pakodas. The ambience would lift our spirits."

For Praxis, the days, rather nights never ended when they went up to the night canteen. "We studied when we had to and on other days we would just sit there and discuss things. One day we forgot the time and a discussion that started at 9 pm by 4 people on politics, went on to spirituality and finally ended with stuff on life at 5 am. We ended with 12 people," remembers Tarun.

Adds Anand: "The night canteen at IIM Calutta is different from that of other b-schools. While we do have a central Night Canteen which is open 24/7, we also have 3 other canteens that run upto 4 am, each of which is attached to a hostel." This definitely should be making IIM-C nightlife the most interesting of the lot, with just so much of food around.

Business n pleasure

Endless discussions, little private parties, group study it's all part of the night canteen life. For most students their night canteen serves as a place to take a break from the routine. A place to grab a quick bite or just spend a few minutes and return to studies. Mohit Garg says that no one comes to the night canteen to study.

"It is only for a break from studies." For IIM Ranchi, the night canteen doubles up as a party place when there are birthdays or other occasions to celebrate. "The birthday bumps, the cake-smashing ceremony and the ice-cream treats all happen in the canteen," adds Shubhankar from IIM Ranchi.

Since IIM-L canteen has Wi-Fi, students are often found studying there, says Abhiram. On a daily basis, at least 200 students pay homage to the night canteen in IIM-L, he adds.

For IIM Kozhikode, the night canteen sports the biggest crowd during the exams. Saumya herself does not frequent the canteen too much as she does not like to eat at night but her pals spend much of their time there.

At IIM Ranchi, the night canteen has the television as well, so World Cups and movies become community viewing and cheering exercises. For IIM-A students, a good portion of their free time is spent in the night canteen everyday, almost as a rule.

"The night canteen is a place for heated debates, and invigorating conversations. The NC, being open 24/7, lends itself very well to this purpose. The primary draw of the area is not the food, but the company and campus discussions. Many significant ideas to come out of the campus owe their origins to one of these impromptu sessions," informs Anand.

Legacy

IIM-A's night canteen is called Tanstaafl which is the short for There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. According to Mohit, the name is evocative of IIM-A's ability to create learning at every opportunity. "It is inspired by Prof Deodhar to caution us that spending too much time at the caf may land us, the students with poor grades."

For Abhiram from IIM-L, his night canteen is the biggest factor that keeps him and his friends awake and in turn helps them to study. "Whether it's a grab of food, a sip of a juice or just hot coffee, it's the place to be."

Every night canteen has short stories attached to it. Students who have celebrated birthdays in the night canteen there say they have been the best so far.

Tarun says that the times spent in the night canteen are always the most special since students meet there not so much for the food but for the ambience and to let go of the day's stress.

For students of Praxis, there is never a better view than what they see from their terrace canteen, especially at night when much of Kolkata is asleep and dark and all they can hear is their voices and the rustling of tall trees along side.

Not to forget the birds that can be seen flying past at the break of dawn indicating to the students that it is time to get back to the hostel room to grab an hour or two of sleep before they hit school.

Leadership has to come from students

noreply@blogger.com (Pramod Kr. Kushwaha) — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 17:09:00 +0000

In Arvind Kejriwal, you will meet an unassuming fighter with a focused social objective -- rooting out corruption and introducing better governance. The Right to Information activist and winner of Ramon Magsaysay award sits in his spartan office, juggling multiple phone calls, drafting letters and typing out an urgent press release alongside.

Surprisingly there's a rhythm in the mayhem. The former IITian talks to Urmila Rao and explains why he no longer takes up cases of aggrieved college students, the limitations of RTI and much more.

From an IRS officer to an activist, why and how did the change happen?

When I was in the job, I started doing these things part-time and felt that the value I am bringing here was far better. On the contrary, what I was doing in the Income Tax department could be done by anyone else.

When did the RTI journey begin?

RTI came much later. Initially I, along with some others started addressing corruption issues, wherein a common
man had to pay a bribe to get his work done. The concern was how to create a bribe-free atmosphere. So we started advising customers who came to the Delhi Vidyut Board and Income Tax Department, not to pay bribes in these two departments. We told them that if they have a problem they can come to us and we will get their work done free
of cost.

So we used to gather grievances of people and collectively present those complaints to the chair of the department
and add to public pressure.

Were you an activist during school days as well?

I was completely a kitabi keera (book worm). I did not do anything but study.

You have worked for government schools. Why not for colleges?

It is a different matter to take up the cause of poor people who can't fight for themselves. They are from underprivileged backgrounds. Working for such students is understandable. However, in case of engineering college students or others, where the middle class goes, I am sure they can fend for themselves.

Let people who are suffering from existing malpractices take up the cause. Every person in this country is suffering because of bad governance. A few NGOs will not be able to take up this job. So people who are suffering will have to take up the cudgels.

How wise is it for students to compromise on career and get entangled in a time-consuming legal process?

Right. So, let him find some people who can do something for him. People first of all have to find courage. It is precisely students of this very country, who at the time of Quit India Movement gave up their studies, left colleges and that is why our country got independence.

If someone thinks that education, health, infrastructure all are different sectors and issues and they ought to be fought independently, then they are mistaken. There is an underlying pattern in the process. And that is bad governance.

So unless you tackle governance, unless you tackle corruption you will not be able to solve any of these problems.

So a collective fight is warranted against bad governance from students?

Leadership has to come from these students. In Chattisgarh there was huge corruption in the State Civil Services
exam. There were some students who took the exams but couldn't get through. They filed an RTI. Others did not.

They thought that if they file RTI applications, in the next attempt they will be victimised. It is very natural that if you are appearing for Civil Services examination and if you can make their life miserable they can also do the same to you. But one group of students filed RTI, and got all the answer sheets.

The Civil Services Exam turned out to be a huge scam. Some students were given 306 marks out of 300! The students then moved the High Court which cancelled the exam. So someone took up the battle. They did not offload the battle on someone else.

Despite all the fighting spirit, getting justice is still a complex process, something of a dampener...

So who will do it? In our organisation, there is a 23-year-old girl whose throat was slit by the ration shopkeepers. She was fighting a battle for the poor people so that there is no corruption in ration system. She was 19 at the time. Post the incident, she had a lot of pressure from her family to withdraw from her work.

She said, if I don't do it, who will? No one will come from America, or Japan. We have to do it.

Can you give students step-by-step guide for filing RTI application?

RTI is about seeking information from any government department. You just need to write an application on a piece of paper for whatever information that you want from the government.

There is a Rs 10 fee, which one needs to deposit in the department. The department is supposed to give information in 30 days.

If you don't get information in that time period, you can file an appeal. There is a penalty clause for officers if they don't provide information in 30 days.

Can students come to you, if they need guidance?

We have a helpline number. It is 9718100180. We can help in drafting the letters. We don't take up any student's
case, we just guide them.

An inherent drawback of RTI is that the applicant's identity is open, putting his life at risk.

The only way to minimise risk is to adopt strategies. A group of people can file RTI (http://rti.gov.in/) rather than one person. There could be people from several cities filing the same application, for example, 10 people from Delhi, 10 from Kolkata, from Mumbai and so on.

Do you fear for your life?

Yes. Every one does. We got threats many times. Attacks from a mafia gang from Uttar Pradesh has taken place several times. Many threats came when we were dealing with the ration issue, which has been the toughest fight.

How long have you been filing RTIs for schools? And what has been the outcome?

We just did it for a year or so. We wanted to understand the whole issue. Outcome was nothing. We just got statistical information; how much budget is coming, how many students are there.

Filing RTI will not be able to improve the government education system.

So what's the alternative?

For long, we filed issue-based RTIs. Now we begin to realise that this system cannot function, we need to have a
law. So we now focus on overhauling of the system. We have drafted some laws, which basically say that in urban areas 'Mohallah Sabha' and in rural areas 'Gram Sabhas' should be constituted.

They should have the power to decide how the government fund is spent in that area, what facilities should be there. People should make the decisions. Let the people decide the appointment of a teacher. Government should just implement those decisions. We are calling our campaign 'Swaraj Campaign'.

Inspiring story of a blind Indian MBA

noreply@blogger.com (Pramod Kr. Kushwaha) — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 16:29:00 +0000

Years ago as an NMIMS Mumbai student, during placements a corporate house told Ashish Goyal to find himself a job in the government sector, since it has a quota system for the physically challenged. Having turned blind in his teens because of an eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa, Ashish did not take the advice lightly.

He not only got himself placed at ING Vysya but also stood second in his batch at NMIMS. Later, Ashish went on to do an MBA from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Today, the Mumbai boy has a plum job at JP Morgan's London operations.

Over the years, Ashish has not only earned milestones in his professional space but also done plenty in his personal life -- from learning to play Brazilian drums and learning the Argentine tango to boxing and performing on stage, besides many other things.

He was in India to receive the National Award for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, 2010 from the President of India.

PagalGuy.com's Lajwanti D'souza talked to him what success means to a visually challenged person, what inspired him in life, how he handles depression and... his dream date woman.

What does this award mean to you in real terms. Do awards make a difference at all?

This award means a lot to me; it's special to be recognised and I am really humbled. Frankly it has not sunk in, meeting the President, meeting other award winners. I am really excited. The difference that this will make, well, the most important thing is that encouragement works wonders for everyone I would think.

We get lost in this race called life so much, that a special moment like this makes you take a step back, acknowledge the recognition and thank God for all that has happened. It's reinvigorating to keep doing the best you can. Also, if this award helps spread awareness and change people's attitudes towards people with disabilities... that will be the best outcome.

Describe what you do for a living and whether it has enriched your existence and vice-versa.

I work for JP Morgan's Chief Investment Office and we help manage the bank's exposure in various markets across different geographies. It's a very significant and satisfying role at a bank like JP Morgan, which has a huge balance sheet and large exposures. Proper balance sheet management can make a tremendous impact to all stakeholders from depositors, clients to shareholders and employees.

Vice-versa, well all I can say is that I am happy that I have been able to live up to expectations and hope to keep doing the same going forward. Also being a student of macro-economics and geo-politics, my job keeps me sharp and interested in this ever changing dynamic world.

Do you think Indian B-schools are responsive to people with mental or physical challenges? There is this physically challenged boy fighting a long legal battle with the IIMs after being denied admission.

My answer will be a little dated, as I have not lived in India for 5 years now and I applied to Indian business schools back in 2000. The main difference in my two experiences (in India and in the US) is this: abroad, there is a clear process and system to deal with students and applicants with disabilities, of course helped by regulations.

Internationally, as with Wharton, it was pretty easy when it came to following the process and providing a level playing ground. Where as in India, the process was not streamlined and a lot of ad hoc decision making would need to happen on the basis of perceptions even though regulations existed.

This was not just the case in B-schools, I would say that was true of most institutes. What Wharton did, was it gave me a level playing field to compete and learn on merit and that's all we require I guess... the rest is up to ability

Is there anything that you are doing or would like to do in the sphere of helping those visually challenged?

I have fleetingly been in touch with this organisation called Enable India. It's a great model, training disabled individuals to become independent and acquire the right skill sets for a job, then working with companies to get them to hire these people, and finally making sure that the first few months the transition goes smoothly.

I am also involved with 2 other issues, education through Pratham which reaches out to the poor and educating kids for free, and the Akshay Patra Foundation, which is Asia's largest mid-day meal programme.

Is there a better sense of concern for those 'challenged' abroad than in India? Here, even getting a ramp made in a housing society is a big hassle.

Yes, as mentioned, there is a difference in terms of infrastructure and facilities, but hopefully that is changing, as the government and a lot of non-profit organisations are working towards that change. But most importantly I feel individuals like you and I need to be more receptive and accepting.

One important thing that needs to be mentioned is that people with disabilities are individuals who have gone through various circumstances and are very different to each other. It's not fair to club all of them as the same... and even less fair to club all kinds of disabilities as the same. I have no idea what I would do or how people in a wheelchair cope or what about people with not-so-obvious disabilities or challenges like learning or mental disabilities.

What kind of vocations would you advise physically challenged persons take up given the job market scenario? The Indian government has gone only as far as giving out PCO booths.

In India and abroad, I have met disabled individuals like me doing all kinds of jobs. I believe it comes down to ambition and practicality combined. When I was going through recruiting from NMIMS, I was shocked when one of the companies told me that I should begin my career in a government organisation as they have quotas and that they would not interview me. I could have given up hope then and there, but I really don't see a lot of issues for disabled people doing various things. There are lawyers, media professionals, bankers, IT professionals, teachers, you name it...

Have you thought of designing products, furniture or gadgets for those with disabilities and challenges?

I have offered to be a tester for a couple of products and whenever I have any idea, I speak to my friends who work in a similar field. There are people and companies across the world working on this.

Have you learnt cooking? That's what you said you wanted to learn, the last time around.

Yes, but do I cook? No, I hate the entire cleaning process that follows.

Where do you see yourself five years down the line?

I want to definitely do something for the country (India). Don't yet know in what shape or form. The way my life has evolved, I think 5 years is a long time, but hopefully I will have discovered my calling by then.

Is there something you'd like to say to those who think their lives are always on the downturn?

I don't feel any issue is too small or too big. I think one can make it small or big. If there is an issue, finding a solution and working through it is the best approach because only we can affect that change instantly or attempt it. If we feel there is no hope and don't see a solution it will be difficult for others to help. It's most important not to run away from those issues, but work with them and take them head on.

What do you do when you get depressed?

Eat chocolates. Nope, kidding. I guess I call up my closest friends and talk about it... go change my mood... ponder... and sleep... its depressing being depressed, so I try and limit it :) .

You are one lucky guy to have your family with you? Not all physically-challenged people are as fortunate.

I can't even imagine my life without my Guruji and my family. I feel very fortunate to have such an amazing support system, blessings and some great friends. I don't know if I can advise anyone here, but I would say for others, when you see someone like this, please lend them your hand. Being nice to people doesn't cost anything and your simple act could change someone else's world. I can't even enumerate the number of times living alone in a foreign land, absolute strangers, who I will probably never meet again, have helped me or made life easier for me.

Who is your ideal date?

Too personal a question (don't wanna spill the beans actually... haha...). Well I enjoy the company of intelligent and interesting women in general.

Would you have achieved so much had fate not been cruel to you when you were in your teens and when you lost your vision to retinitis pigmentosa after being born with proper vision?

My guruji Dr Balaji Tambe has been my guiding force and I would have crumbled without him. I have pondered at length about this question and about the saying -- everything happens for the best. If I had regular sight, I could easily see myself being a very average spoiled kid, doing nothing with my life and living an inconsequential existence.

Well, that would be taking the worst case scenario for sure, but this disability made me focus and work hard for everything, and most importantly it made me believe in myself and gave me an attitude to keep trying, giving my best, and enjoying every experience.

Do you think your MBA degree has got you where you are today? Or do you believe you had it in you to circumvent every obstacle?

The people I met in my MBA years, the opportunities I got have been overwhelming. I would relive my MBA experience anytime. An MBA can make a major difference in your life if you know what you want out of it. There are so many things you could choose from and so many ways in which you can shape yourself... and improve your career and social life. It's easy also to not do anything sometimes, but believe me that would be such a waste of opportunity.

"Tell Me About Yourself" The Toughest Question in the Interview

noreply@blogger.com (Pramod Kr. Kushwaha) — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 04:22:00 +0000

When you, as a job seeker, are asked the most common, and toughest, interview question, "Tell me about yourself," your answer can make or break you as a candidate. Usually job seekers will respond with their "30 second commercial," and then elaborate on their background. While almost every career book and career counselor will tell you that is the appropriate response, I totally disagree.
Many people fail in their job search because they are too often focused on what they want in a job including industry, type of position, location, income, benefits, and work environment. Their "30 second commercial" is centered around this premise. The commercial describes the job seeker's career history and what they are looking for. Too often, this is in direct contrast to what employers are looking for.
There are two dominant reasons why job seekers are successful in the job search. The first is focusing on the needs of the organization. The second is focusing on the needs of the people within that organization. In this article, we are going to examine how to focus on the needs of the people within organizations. This will assist in rethinking your response to that all-important question, "Tell me about yourself."
In order to learn how to respond to the needs of the interviewer, let's first learn more about ourselves. We can then apply that knowledge about ourselves to knowing how to understand and respond to the needs of others.
Most social psychologists recognize four basic personality styles: Analytical, Amiable, Expressive, and Driver. Usually, each of us exhibits personality characteristics unique to one of the styles. However, we also possess characteristics to a lesser degree in the other styles. To determine your unique style, you can take a Myers-Briggs assessment or go to the following site for a free Keirsey Temperament Sorter assessment test: www.keirsey.com
Here are the characteristics that are most commonly associated with each of the styles:
Analytical:
Positive Traits: Precise, Methodical, Organized, Rational, Detail Oriented
Negative Traits: Critical, Formal, Uncertain, Judgmental, Picky
Amiable:
Positive Traits: Cooperative, Dependable, Warm, Listener, Negotiator
Negative Traits: Undisciplined, Dependent, Submissive, Overly Cautious, Conforming
Expressive:
Positive Traits: Enthusiastic, Persuasive, Outgoing, Positive, Communicator
Negative Traits: Ego Centered, Emotional, Exploitive, Opinionated, Reacting
Driver:
Positive Traits: Persistent, Independent, Decision Maker, Effective, Strong Willed
Negative Traits: Aggressive, Strict, Intense, Relentless, Rigid
Gaining an in-depth understanding of your personality style has enormous value in your career as well as your personal life. However, our focus today is learning how to use this knowledge to make you more successful in your job search.
Once you have learned about your own style and have studied the other styles, I encourage you to have a little fun in trying to determine the styles of others. When you meet someone for the first time, try to identify his or her style within the first two minutes. You can often identify styles by observing a person's demeanor, conversation, body language, appearance, and possessions.
To demonstrate what I mean, let's take some examples from the business world. While there are always exceptions, generally speaking the styles fit the example.
Analytical Style: Financial Manager (or programmers, engineers, and accountants). They like systems and procedures. They are slow to make decisions because they will analyze things to death—but their decisions are usually very sound. They prefer working independently and are usually not very good in team environments, but they are also dependable. They buy cars with good resale value and great gas mileage. They are conservative dressers. At the party, they want to know why so much money was spent on Michelob when we could have purchased Busch. They come to the party with their laptops.
Amiable Style: Human Resources Manager. Very people-focused. They are dependable, loyal and easygoing; very compassionate. They will give you the shirt off their backs and the last nickel in their pockets. They are good listeners and value team players who don't "rock the boat." They are usually conformists and followers—rarely leaders. They avoid conflict and are not good decision makers. They drive four-door sedans or mini-vans to take the kids to sporting events. They usually clean up after the party is over.
Expressive Style: Sales Manager. Very outgoing and enthusiastic, with a high energy level. They are also great idea generators, but usually do not have the ability to see the idea through to completion. Very opinionated and egotistical. Money motivated. They can be good communicators. They prefer to direct and control rather then ask and listen. They drive red convertibles with great stereos; to heck with the gas mileage. They come up with the idea for a company party, but never help clean up. They are on their way to another party.
Driver: Corporate CEO. Intelligent, intense, focused, relentless. They thrive on the thrill of the challenge and the internal motivation to succeed. Money is only a measure of success; it is not the driving factor. They are results/performance oriented. They have compassion for the truly disadvantaged, but absolutely no patience or tolerance for the lazy or whiners. They drive prestige cars, not because the car attracts attention, but because it was a wise investment. They want to know why we had a party; what were the benefits of the party, and did we invite the banker?
Ok, now you are really getting some insight into your style and the style of others. It is time for the interviews. Throw out your 30-second commercial. Think on your feet.
You will be interviewing with the human resource manager, the finance manager, the sales manager, and the CEO. The first question each of them will ask you is: "Tell me about yourself." How should you respond? Remember the second reason for succeeding in a job search: focus on the needs of the people in the organization. Here are just a few examples of how to respond to that question:
"Tell me about yourself?"
Response to Finance Manager: "I have been successful in my career by making well-thought-out decisions based on careful analysis of all factors. I approach problems with logic and sound reasoning. I would enjoy working with you in developing the appropriate systems and procedures to make our two departments function efficiently together."
Response to Human Resource Manager: "My career has been characterized by my ability to work well with diverse teams. I seek out opportunities to involve others in the decision-making process. This collaboration and communication is what has enabled me to achieve success in my department. People are the most valuable resource of any organization."
Response to Sales Manager: "Throughout my career I have always adhered to the principle that everyone in the organization must be sales-focused. My department is always trained in customer service, providing outstanding support to the sales team and to our customers. Without sales, the rest of use would not have a job. I look forward to helping you drive sales in any way possible."
Response to CEO: "I have achieved success in my career because I have been focused on the bottom line. I have always sought out innovative solutions to challenging problems to maximize profitability. Regardless of the task or challenge, I always established benchmarks of performance and standards of excellence. I have never sought to maintain the "status quo." An organization that does not change and grow will die. I would enjoy working with you to help define new market opportunities in order to achieve the organization's goals."
In each instance, we responded to the "needs of the individual." It is almost guaranteed that, when you respond appropriately to the diverse needs of the different managers, you will become the standard by which all of the other candidates will be measured.
I challenge you to learn about your personality and leadership style, learn about the styles of others, and learn how to think on your feet when responding to questions. Whether you are seeking a job or you are gainfully employed, by understanding the needs of others you will become a more valuable person, employee, manager and leader.

GPRS FAQ

1. What is GPRS?

GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service. It is a faster way of passing data over a mobile phone network. With GPRS you don't pay for your online time per-minute, you simply pay for the amount of data you transfer.

2. What is MMS?

MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service, commonly known as picture or photo messaging. MMS runs in conjunction with GPRS. This means you must have GPRS enabled in order to have the MMS service working.

How to run a PC without anti-virus

noreply@blogger.com (Pramod Kr. Kushwaha) — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 16:41:00 +0000

From within your operating system, there are tools you can use to help ward off evil software, too. All browsers today, for instance, provide some security tools, including anti-phishing filters or lists of Web sites that are known carriers of harmful software. Use these features -- they won't slow you down. Common sense is your biggest defense.

First things first: you should have some kind of antivirus protection on your PC, especially if you surf the Internet or trade files with anyone. There are plenty of people, though, who hate antivirus programs -- and with good reason. Most of them are resource hogs, slowing down your computer; many of them throw up more false positive warnings than legitimate ones, slowing down your work and annoying you in the process. These days, most are leased on a yearly basis, meaning you must pay up every year in order to keep your antivirus signatures current.

All of that adds up to some pretty painful medicine to have to swallow to potentially rid your PC of some malicious software. Can you possibly just say "no" to antivirus software? The short answer is, "yes, you can." But to remain virus and spyware free, you'll need to adopt some precautions -- and stick with them.

Use clean software

An antivirus-free computer should start and stop with legitimate, clean software. That means eschewing copies of programs that can be downloaded through warez sites or on newsgroups, borrowed from friends through file sharing, or found on shareware and freeware sites.

Remember that being without an antivirus program often means living without on-demand scanning, so a file you download online isn't as easy to check for viruses as it would be if you had an antivirus program installed. Still, plenty of people can and do assemble systems solely with commercial, off-the-shelf applications, and you can, too.

Scan your PC remotely

If you have more than one PC, you can install antivirus software on one while leaving the other machine without antivirus software. If the two machines can see each other over a network -- home or office -- then you should be able to map the drives of one computer onto the one with antivirus software installed and check individual files or entire drives through your network connection.

Or you could take advantage of free online virus and spyware scanning tools. Trend Micro's House Call (http://housecall.trendmicro.com) and Eset's Online Scan (http://www.eset.com/onlinescan) will perform a scan of your computer right from the Internet. Such scans might not remove any viruses or spyware found, but they will at least tell you how clean your computer is.

Use built-in protections

Antivirus protection might not yet be a built-in feature of Windows and other operating systems, but security has long been of concern to everyone who uses computers, and the result is that you'll find some malware protection already built in to the computer you're currently using.

Before your computer even loads your operating system, it launches the code found in your system's BIOS (basic input-output system), which initiates the hardware in your PC and enables your operating system to identify the components you have. Within the BIOS of most PCs -- accessible by pressing F2 or Del during bootup -- is an optional boot sector protection mechanism. Enable this, and you'll protect against boot sector viruses without ever installing a single antivirus tool.

From within your operating system, there are tools you can use to help ward off evil software, too. All browsers today, for instance, provide some security tools, including anti-phishing filters or lists of Web sites that are known carriers of harmful software. Use these features -- they won't slow you down.

Free Operating System tools

In addition, there are free tools available that are less obtrusive than most antivirus packages. Microsoft provides Windows Defender for free on Windows Vista, and it's available as a free download for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

Windows Defender's focus is on spyware, which can be among the most dangerous types of malicious software, since its primary purpose is to track what you do and, in some cases, steal personal information.

Watch those websites

Common sense will go a long way toward keeping your computer safe if you don't use antivirus software. Stay away from sites that are frequent carriers of spyware. These include, ironically, many sites that purportedly sell anti-spyware software.

A list of such sites is at the Spyware Warrior Rogue/Suspect Web Sites page (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#sites). Porn and gaming sites are also to be approached warily if you have no spyware or antivirus protection.

Email with care

Delete any e-mail message from an unknown source if it contains an attachment. The majority of malware contracted through e-mail comes in the form of attachments that the sender tries to get the recipient to open.

Just say no. The large majority of viruses are contracted from unsolicited e-mail, so use an e-mail application with a built-in spam checker, if at all possible. Sometimes viruses are carried in Word documents from friends or colleagues who are not aware that the files are protected.

In such cases, without an onboard antivirus tool, it makes sense to run the file through one of the free online scanners mentioned earlier. Do this before you open the file.

The payoff for all of this caution should be well-known to anyone who has watched with chagrin as an otherwise speedy and trouble-free computer was made to feel like yesterday's technology after the latest bloated antivirus software was installed. Less really is more, if you can get away with it. And for those intrepid computer users with a survival plan, doing without antivirus protection can be a giant step in the right direction.
