Hi All ! I found the below interview tips / excerpts from Internet, thought of sharing the same... Read On:   "You ought to behave like an ‘angel’ all through the interview, if you really want to win through it." Please do not consider interview an overtly stress inducing process.  It is not a supernatural process either.  Stars and Zodiac do not determine your destiny.  Your attitude toward life does.  Congeniality, honesty and diligence reap rich dividends in life. Besides these adjectives the way you articulate your limbs and your talk determines during an interview, your success to a greater extent. The curtain-raiser : The night before the interview has to be the most tranquil night of your life.  You need to relax and unwind greatly during that time.  Indulge in a light talk with your parents, friends and siblings.  Do something that you love doing: playing guitar, reading books, walking, jogging, cycling and any of these that w...

Well, the below mentioned ideas are an excerpt from Prof.RGD's blog related to  Cloud-based projects for students Cloud-based projects for students A student project need not a sophisticated one. It could be as simple as  AlumniMaps,  which mashes-up two resources namely  users data  from  facebook  on  Google maps  to produce a very useful and insightful maps that shows current locations of alumni of any given institution.

This is an excerpt from an article, Silicon India: After the global economic downturn, the job market does not seem to be that favourable for aspiring candidates. The unavailability of jobs has made young and potential candidates to re think about their career.   "I come from a leading engineering college. When I applied for the SBI job, there were virtually no vacancies in the manufacturing or IT sector due to recession. I had to seriously look at other options. After all, SBI offers a safe job," said an engineering graduate. "The country boasts of having a large number of engineering colleges. However, it does appear that we are producing engineers without accessing the manpower requirement," said an HR professional who was shocked to see engineering graduates taking up clerical assignments.   JOB SECURITY is the NEW CONCERN !

This excerpt is from an article of Silicon India. Rosin Ingle from Irishtimes.com says - If we learn how to break the worthless rules at work, we will get more stuff done in less time, which makes us happier and more productive. 'Hacking' work, which is the act of getting what we need to do  our best by exploiting loopholes and creating workarounds.  'Hacking' work is taking the usual ways of doing things and bypassing them to produce improved results, for the company as well as for the employee.  According to a new book, Hacking Work: Breaking Stupid Rules for Smart Results , "hacking job is all part of a growing work - related DIY (Do it yourself) movement.

Listening to employees is a strategy ...
