How to Prepare Great Resume

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:35:00 +0000

How to have Impact with Great Resume During Interview ! When I was in high school, a teacher returned an essay of mine with the following written on the top of the paper: "Know your audience" The task was to write a persuasive essay on any topic of our choosing. I just so happened to pick a topic on which the teacher had extensive knowledge and strong feelings. I hadn't been thinking about this at the time I chose the topic, but he was right – I should have known this wasn’t a good topic. Lesson learned. Writing a resume is no different. Tailor what you’re writing to the specific company and position. First Step for Preparing Resume : Avoid the Text Blob: Employers don’t read your resume – they glance at it for, oh, 10 – 15 seconds. You can’t absorb key points from a large blob of text, so bullet your accomplishments instead. Write short, concise...

Hello everyone , this is my first post on the ESG Network . Since the network is committed to e-counseling of students and being recently placed what topic could have been better than my experience of campus placement .

Aspiring Fresh Graduates

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 13:59:00 +0000

I have been considering sharing my experience with some top HR’s in the corporate. I had certain discussion with them regarding hiring fresh graduates. They share with me some interesting facts but I also did some thorough research what they said to me and what young graduates thought about ‘Role of Fresh Graduates in Technology’. There are certain myths about hiring fresher’s in organisations, they consider that by hiring fresher’s there resources are wasted or are over utilised. But at present this is no reality, at present big honcho’s prefer hiring fresher’s as they consider them as fresh talented pool withgreat minds and aspirations. Fresh Graduates have more aspirations, ideas, and innovations than anyone else. Fresher’s must work in certain research projects on their own or ask our community at it.estudentsguide.com/ask or Submit Your Presentations for assistance and...

Be an Experienced Fresher

noreply@blogger.com (ESG-Jobs) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 05:45:00 +0000

Students in their final years of studies must be looking for job opportunities. It is indeed a crucial phase in everyone's life as it is the " Beginning of a career that will decide the Future ". Being fresher, many of them are confused at this stage and many of them are ignorant about the importance of this time. No matter in whichever state they are, they always require an experienced counseling and self preparation. It all depends upon the nature of studies to decide, the kind of a job suitable for the students. There has been a fear in the minds of students that they will not be preferred for responsible jobs. This fear raises many questions for them like whether they will be offered job by good companies or they will be simply ignored for being fresher. But for them time has come, when they can shatter this fear and come out of their shell. Corporate world is changing and at...

Wikipedia goes to class

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Tue, 31 May 2011 07:49:00 +0000

It Was Not A Teaching Assistance On A Power Trip - It Was a Wikipedia Class Known Only As-`MEAN AS CUSTARD' A Virginia Tech graduate student hit save on her overview of the state workers compensation commission one spring day, but before her professor could take a look at it, someone else began deleting entire sections, calling them trivial and promotional. It wasn't a teaching assistant on a power trip -it was a Wikipedia editor known only as "Mean as custard". This school year, dozens of professors from across the country gave students an unexpected assignment: Write Wikipedia entries about public policy issues. The Wikimedia Foundation, which supports the website, organised the project in an effort to bulk up the decade-old online encyclopedia's coverage of topics ranging from the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 to Sudanese refugees in Egypt. Such issues have been...

All about Success

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Sun, 08 May 2011 06:28:00 +0000

Well this post is primarily for youngsters who are always concerned to one word SUCCESS. So what really is Success meant for them, hmm' i guess it would be more precise to get what they want or what they deserve. Well these two terms "WANT" nd "DESERVE" are more focused on one's identity that how they approach to life. These two words in my personal experience matters the most. Everyone is running towards Success, but do they really consider that word ? So i am approaching towards the ideals for the Success. It does not matter about the consequences or the results what is more important is the approach towards the Goal. So a Goal achieved is more likely a fruitful achievement. Thus it is truly said - "Great Minds have purposes and others have Wishes" I thought this is the right time for me to write up this post as i want to share my personal experience to the present scenario that...

A lighter focus

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 04:35:00 +0000

When the going gets tough, the tough try to stay positive In today's high pressure work environment many people ind it difficult to remain motivated all the time. There are, however, a few who have developed the skill to focus on positives and most of the time these people end up as star performers for their organisations. We all need to do a SWOT analysis on ourselves and find out more about our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities available to us, and perceived threats. Once we know our plus points we can plan accordingly. We must set clear goals: both long and short term. Many a time the gap between capability and target creates lot of problems for people with negative attitudes. Always remember you are not alone and not hopeless. You should remember Charlie Chaplin's words, "Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles". The words 'I can' instead of 'I...

Success- Communication Skills

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:09:00 +0000

Good communication skills are key to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, frustration, or even disaster by being misinterpreted or poorly delivered. Communication is the process by which we exchange information between individuals or groups of people. It is a process where we try as clearly and accurately as we can, to convey our thoughts, intentions and objectives. " Communication is successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information.In today's highly information land technological environment it has become increasingly important to have good communication skills.While many individuals still continue to struggle, an inability to communicate effectively will hold them back in their careers and in social and personal relationships."

Tough Competition Everywhere

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:10:00 +0000

After thinking for a while I’ve come to know that unknowingly or unintentionally we all are the part of rat race, with one common motive of winning the race and I am surprised to see that this thing starts right from the age of 7 or 8, when our parents says, look, the other girl/boy is better than you(in studies, sports, dance etc… ) you try hard to prove, to be in competition… We grow up wondering whether ever we’ll be there at the top someday ?In college somebody else takes your trophy in a typical filmy way and you just end up playing the sidie(dancing behind the hero/heroins)… … When you enter into professional life (with whatever amount of courage left inside) your colleagues and most importantly the BOSS waits for you( like a hungry lion waits for a poor goat) with the butcher’s knife(though invisible)in hand… Finally one fine day you come to know that there’s a word...

5 Things to never do on Twitter, Facebook

noreply@blogger.com (ESG-Jobs) — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:59:00 +0000

Recently, a software engineer got into big trouble over a tweet, which said : “Because of the whims and fancies of XYZ company, my long-awaited weekend party has gone for a toss. Feel like suing them.” His frustration had the client that his IT company services, take quick notice, and he was on the verge of losing his job. Companies are increasingly securing channels of information, believing every piece of information that appears on a public domain to hurt business interests. All the more reason for an employee to be careful about what they post on Facebook, Twitter, blogs or social media platforms. Here are five things that one should never post about on Twitter, Facebook or any other social media site. 1. Never identify your employer : It might be great to flaunt that your employer as the world’s ‘biggest software company’ , the best bank in the world or the best...

Positive Work Environment

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 06:03:00 +0000

One of the secrets to a positive work environment is to find and appreciate reasons for the employee to be motivated beyond the routine work activities. A sense of loyalty is one of the best motivating factors for delivering results. Loyalty is induced through activities that rise from an honest effort at understanding what the employee’s needs are, and making them feel understood. Each of us wants to feel recognized as individuals, to be appreciated, and given opportunities for advancement and growth. But when we are engaged in our worlds of deadlines and targets, it is easy to miss this most essential ingredient of a cohesive and growing team. In here we have tried to identify some simple ways to reach out to your employees, to appreciate and motivate them in the work environment. These ideas are not comprehensive, but you may like to take cues from them to make a...

Salary Negotiation !

noreply@blogger.com (ESG-Jobs) — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 12:37:00 +0000

One step forward, one step back, step together, and back again. To perform the negotiation dance, you must have a good sense of balance. Knowing your value will help you feel more confident about staying in step during the negotiation process. The employer takes the lead and you follow, staying with the rhythm. You move together through the process, taking care not to step on each other. The dance is never confrontational or harsh, but smooth and in harmony. Often, the first step takes place on the phone. The interviewer asks for your salary requirement or the salary you're currently making. First the Music Starts Begin with the realization that this is your opportunity to maximise your compensation. Now is not the time to sell yourself short or leave items on the table. Instead, focus on what you feel you need and ought to have, and then negotiate for it. Many employers...

Crucial Communication Skills for Interviews

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 08:17:00 +0000

Do you keep your focus on the things the recruiter wants to hear? Playing it smart in interviews helps to a great extent. Looking confident and using smart words can impress an interviewer. However, you need to have the passion and show recruiters that you really care about the job. Your communication skills might not be up to the mark but you can still convey to those that matter your keenness to get that job. Unless your job requires face-to-face interactions with clients, you can still get the job despite language problems. A discussion around your strengths and weakness is a must in most interviews. when it comes to weaknesses, make sure you know the answer to how to work and get beyond them. Questions on strengths are easier to answer. If you are a mid/senior level professional then you will need to depict leadership capabilities. People often equate leadership with being an...

Have an Enviable Image

noreply@blogger.com (Ritesh Walia) — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 09:49:00 +0000

Everyone wants to rise to a higher place in life. But very few people are ready to pay the price for the same. Only those who dare to pay the price by virtue of showing courage, confidence, faith and a tenacity to stick to higher values of life, win the race. And sooner or later they build an enviable image which makes them the best ones among friends and foes. Although we all have god-like qualities, yet we fail to recognise that potential in us. This psychological weakness can be cured with the help of a psychological counselor. The best way to cure this weakness is to learn to look into the eyes of your competitor. Most of us have some best friends also, with whom we spend a lot of our time, yet we fail to know the very colour of their eyes. If we develop the power of observation, observing not only the colour of their eyes, but also the size, shape, length and breadth of their...
