| Coping with Interviews by Career Adviser After coming through all the hurdles of the selection process, you will eventually arrive at an interview. This is of course, a major obstacle for many job applicants. Although they may have the qualifications, experience and a proven track record, they may lose out to a candidate who 'interviews better.' So what does 'interviewing better' actually mean? It comes down to the candidate being well prepared and confident. A candidate who can answer questions in a way which is acceptable (but not necessarily right) to the interviewer, someone who knows something about their potential employers business and the post they hope to fill. These are really the basic components of any candidate who 'interviews well'. There are undoubtedly other aspects employers may look for in relation to specific posts - having their own ideas, articulate, thinking on their feet, aspects which will be related to the job and to the company's preference in employees. The employer will also be looking to fill a post, which has a particular job specification - in other words personal aspects besides the experience, and qualifications that can be put down on paper. The interviewer will set out to ascertain that the candidate has these personal qualities, skills and abilities the company requires. These two essential ingredients are interlinked. Good preparation instils confidence. So the basic approach to an interview is to be well prepared. This means two things - preparing yourself practically for the interview, and gathering knowledge and information you can draw on during the interview. * Be sure you know the time, date and location of the interview and name of interviewee where appropriate. * Check out how you will get to the location, and when you need to set off to be there in good time - do a dummy run if necessary. Plan to get there no earlier than half an hour before the interview time, anticipate delays. * Have what you are going to wear ready in advance - everything down to your underwear. * Do not go to the interview laden down with baggage - psychological as well as physical. * Take the bare minimum of belongings necessary. * Concentrate on the interview at the interview - nothing else. * If you are asked to bring certificates, references etc, get them ready before the day. * Take your interview letter. * On arrival ensure the receptionist knows you are there, visit the toilets to tidy up etc. If you are well organised and have planned for the day your confidence will increase. The interview is a chance for you and the employer to get to know one another. It is NOT the time to get to know about the post or the employers business. Do gather information about your employer before you are interviewed - what do they do, what are their current projects, what other interests do they have? Ask staff - many companies will offer you the chance to talk about the vacancy with someone, use the opportunity to find out more about the company. Bigger companies will have PR departments, smaller ones will provide you with some information - libraries can provide information on local business and keep directories of national business. Use the internet - many companies have a presence here now. Make sure you know what the job entails - get a job description, ask someone in a similar post; ring the company to clarify if unsure. Remember the employer is interested in you as a person, your experiences and your opinions (in most cases). Do take the time to sit down and think about you, who you are and what you've achieved. It can be highly embarrassing to know more about the employer than yourself. Sit down with your CV and make notes, about your work record, what you've achieved. Look at yourself as a person in employment - how do you see yourself, what have you done, what ambitions do you have. Make notes and prepare and rehearse sound bites about yourself. Remember that one of the most common of interview questions is 'Tell me about yourself' prepare a sound bite for this in particular, but not a life history. Usually interviewers want to know about personal qualities not achievements - though examples can be included to support your statement. Interviews vary tremendously, from very informal to formal. However, some questions can be anticipated, as can the subject matter. If you are well prepared, then the majority of problem questions should not arise. You will know about the company, you will know about yourself and you will have a good idea of the demands of the job - these questions will not be a problem to the well prepared interviewee. |

Buying EDS would give HP more tools to challenge IBM in the lucrative technology services field. The estimated $550 billion market for technology services has long been dominated by IBM Corp, which has about a 10 per cent share. HP ranks a distant fifth with a 3 per cent market share, based on its $16.6 billion in technology services revenue in its last fiscal year.
In February 2008 the company signed a seven-year outsourcing contract with Unilever for the management of Unilever's technology infrastructure in the Americas, Asia, Africa, Turkey and Middle East.
In India, the company bagged 10 new outsourcing contracts, including Andhra Bank, United Bank of India and United India insurance. In the printer segment, company's Print 2.0 strategy focuses on Web-based printing. It also launched its online photo service snap fish.

IBM
In the year 2007 the revenues of the Indian arm of Big Blue grew maximum among major markets including China (in dollar terms). The overall headcount saw a jump of 20,000. The major clients included, Vodafone, Indian Railways and Ministry of Social Welfare.
It also won a $45mn services contract from CBDT. The agenda of the 5-year deal is to completely modernise CBDT's infrastructure. The company recently opened news centers in Noida and Pune.
The company under went restructuring into four divisions Enterprise Systems, Business Systems, Industry Systems and Volume Systems. Renewing its focus on the SMB segment, the company is restructuring its focus from a product-centric one to a client-centric business model.
The transformation will provide IBM customers with a single face of IBM to deal with. The company also boosted its direct presence from 14 locations to 27. As part of the second phase of its Project Big Green (PBG 2.0) in India, IBM introduced new products and services to help enterprises build ‘greener’ technology infrastructure.
With PBG 2.0, the company is introducing modular, energy-efficient data centre designs that can reduce energy consumption by about 50 per cent. Globally, IBM relies on emerging markets for two thirds of its revenue. Five key overseas growth markets for IBM include China, India, Brazil, Australia and South Korea -- with each contributing more than $1 billion in revenue annually.
Ingram Micro
Next on the list is Ingram Micro Inc, the world's largest technology distributor and a leading technology sales, marketing and logistics company.
Like HP India, the company gets a major part of its revenues from the sale of computer systems and peripherals. The company which merged with Tech pacific globally saw a strong growth in PC and enterprise business last year.
The company also launched its own brand V7 focusing largely on accessories segment. The company also added Autodesk and Adobe to its software portfolio and Asus to hardware. It also became direct distributor of Toshiba laptops. It also added several vendors like Hitachi, NetApp, Tandberg and Netgear.

Through Ingram Micro Logistics, the company provides customisable services for order management and fulfillment, contract manufacturing, contract warehousing, product procurement, product pack out and cartonisation, reverse logistics, transportation management, customer care, credit and collection management services and other value chain services.
CISCO
The networking giant too is making rapid strides in the Indian market. It claims that the company came to India not just because of cost arbitrage, but more for innovation, growth and talent.
The company which witnessed the exit of a series of top managers in 2006-07, saw some stability at the top last year. The company's total India sales stood at Rs 5370 crore, with 35 per cent coming from Switches.
The company also witnessed high growth in the areas of unified communications and network storage. Earlier this year, Cisco India restructured its India operations on the lines of a technology services company. The company said that the change reflects Cisco's evolution from being mainly an equipment vendor to a combined product-service solutions provider.
The restructuring is also expected to create more jobs and create further leadership positions. The company plans to take its headcount to 10,000 in the next five years. Cisco's new globalisation centre east campus has largest campus data centre outside US.
The R&D operation of Cisco India currently has around 5,000 people including its India technology partners like Wipro. It also formed joint go-to-market alliances with Wipro and Satyam Computers with the potential generating substantial revenues in the areas of networking and healthcare
Oracle

Even though the garden God had made for him was the most beautiful place there could ever be, Adam was lonely.
Adam needed some company. So God reached into the ground again and took some more stuff from the earth. This time he made every kind of animal and every kind of bird. He brought them all to Adam to see what he would call them.
It must have taken a long, long time to think up all those names!
Luckily, he didn't call them things like 'Foo Foo' or 'Snuggems' or 'Pooky' or anything like that. Instead. he called them 'gerbils' and 'rabbits' and 'rhinoceroses.' And he called the birds 'eagles' and 'egrets' and 'ruby throated warblers.'
Well, actually, we don't know WHAT Adam named them. He didn't speak English. But he named each kind, and that's important because people are the only ones that name things. Your dog knows what a squirrel is, but he doesn't call it a squirrel. He just barks at it! But naming things is one of the things that shows we are different from all the other creatures that God made.
But even with all the animals around to keep him company, God saw that Adam was still sad. Monkeys are fun to play with, but they don't have very much to say... and they have terrible table manners.
So God made Adam fall asleep (he must have conked him on the head or something), and while Adam was sleeping, God took one of his ribs.
God took Adam's rib and he made a woman from it. When Adam woke up, God brought Eve to him (that's what Adam named her later on), and Adam said,
"At last! Here is someone like me! Her bones were made from my bones, and her body was made from my body. I will call her 'woman' because that means she was taken out of man."
At last Adam was happy.
And so Adam and Eve lived together in God's garden. And do you know what? They were naked and nobody cared... or thought it was funny!
But that's another story...

 to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand." (Woodrow Wilson) "There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit on the body." (Jalalud'din Rumi) "And have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over acuteness of the senses? (Edgar Allen Poe, "The Tell-Tale Heart") "Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions." (Albert Einstein) "Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive." (Harold Whitman) "I want all my senses engaged. Let me absorb the world's variety and uniqueness." (Maya Angelou) "Feel yourself being quietly drawn by the deeper pull of what you truly love." (Jalalud'din Rumi) "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." (Anais Nin) "Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears." (Edgar Allan Poe) "The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create — so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating." (Pearl S. Buck) "I can't stand a naked light bulb, any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action." (Tennessee Williams) "The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly." (Henry David Thoreau) "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life. All that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about." (Albert Einstein) "While we have the gift of life, it seems to me that the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die -- whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness." (Gilda Radner) "How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god." (Alan W. Watts) "Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use." (Emily Post) "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anybody. Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years." (Audrey Hepburn) "Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." (Carl Gustav Jung) "Many of us are aware that a greater life is possible. We sense that we have scarcely realized our potential, our powers, and that there lies vast continents, strange and wonderful worlds of unexplored territory within." (Michael Lynberg) |

I Choose to be happy.. :)
Many times people ask me..."How come you are so happy all the time?" And almost every time my reply is- "I don't think I have any good reason to be unhappy!! :)"Definitely it feel odd when I see myself from someone else's point of view.I meet friends everyday and almost everyone of them seem to be troubled for some or the other reason.Sometimes they are worried about studies...sometimes about money,sometimes about attendance and almost every time because of their girlfriends... :)
It is n't that I don't encounter difficulties in life as well...I too face difficult times..I too get into troublesome situations...But the only difference is that I "choose" to be happy.... I like being happy..Being upset secludes me from everyone and worst of all it doesn't feel good while being sad..
So come whatever may..I don't let that situation dominate over myself.The best way to maintain the charm in difficult situations is to create a virtual reality in your mind of being in a good state...
Most of the times after the exam my friends ask me "How was the exam?"
And my reply is always in an enthusiastic tone "It was great!!!! Fantastic"
"So...how much are u going to score?"
"Might be 50% :)"
"Only 50%!!!! How can u b so happy then?"
"Because I don't think by being sad I will be given some bonus marks :)"
ha ha ... many times it has happened with me... And I like this.Most of the times I feel that my friends also begin to feel good after I say that...Being happy is contagious...so is being sad... So why spread remorse... Be happy and that will make other's happy themselves..
