General Tips To Overcome An Interview Campus So what if you are not a mountaineer. Or a keen hiker. You still cannot treat your interview like a careless morning trot along a jogger's path. Your jaw-jaw at the interview table is nothing less than a cautious climb up a mountain trail--which begins around your early childhood and meanders through the years at the academia before reaching a new summit in your career.And as you retrace your steps down memory lane make sure that you post flags at important landmarks of your life and career, so that you can pop them before the interview panel scoops them out of you. You don't want to be at the receiving end, do you? Face the panel, but don't fall of the chair in a headlong rush-and-skid attempt to tell your story. Take one step at a time. If you place your foot on slippery ground, you could be ejecting out on a free fall. So prepare, fortify your thoughts, re-jig your memory, and script and design your story (without frills and falsity). Without the right preparation and storyboard, you could be a loser at the interview. Here are a few preparation tips that books on interviews sometimes overlook.

Topics were War on Iraq, Leaders Born or Made Try to assess ur group in GD, if u think its of to be an debating group, pls don't follow GD rules, and create ur oppurtunities for speaking as raising ur tone, intervening the conversation going on, 'its pretty sure that u'll be going off the GD rules, but it was the case in our group", i followed GD rules and i missed it out.

Group Discussion 1. No GD only shout!!! - Our LOk Sabha Style 2. Shout at top of your voice and shout some meaningful points 3. Please train ur vocal chords! Drink our good pure(pun intended) water before GD 4. IF u cant then carry a loudspeaker 5. 10 per group max 3 groups 6. final interview they select 3 from each group 7. Dont think 1-proposer 1-opposer 1-moderator it could 3-proposer or 3 opposer too. 8. If your group is silent Please follow GD rules. 9. 30 minutes of shouting(3min-choose the topic, 2min-prepare,20min-shout) 10. They might also give you a topic. 11. Please dont wait for your chance - Grab 12. Be ready to summarise. Try to say all the points told and say conclusion is yet to be reached. 13. 2 or 3 choosen people will summarise. 14. Dont ever make unruly gestures. You are out immediately. 15. Be ready for any topic .Only general topic - no subject, economics style

I remember only this much. One should have a good command over the language and the people around, then only he/she will be selected. >UNO's portion in keeping peace (My topic) >Is CHINA a software threat to INDIA >US-IRAQ war etc.- -SATYAM IPS for GD:

a) b) c)

Be careful while you choose to discuss towards the topic or against the topic. Predict how others may depend and write downs short points in a scrap paper. If possible try to start first , if not no problem but try to speak atleast not keep mum.

d) Be fixed to your attitude, it is if the opposite person argues strongly don't leave your topic go towards others. e) Never be in a neutral state i.e talking both towards as well as against. One girl in our batch did so. She was accepting both the arguments and she was eliminated. f) It's a discussion don't make it as DEBATE ,be cool. Don't jump on others. They test your patience too when you are at heavy argument.Patience doesn't mean silence but talk smoothly , try to convince your offenders. g) h) Always have a smiling face, that will carry you towards the success. Finally don't forget the conclude the discussion highlighting your strong points.
