Some tips for facing the Interview in Good Manner

Hello Friends. Here are some tips for facing the Interview in Good Manner -

Dress appropriately in simple - comfortable clothes that reflect your personality.
Avoid wearing new shoes (squeaking noises) and do practice wearing your tie.
Be punctual - don't be late or even too early.
Read up about the company - what business they are into, growth trends, diversification etc
Read your own resume - be sure that you don't have to look into your resume to recall details during the interview.
Carry extra copies of your resume and testimonials - you never know when you may need them.
Make sure you know the full name and designation of the person interviewing you.
Keep your references ready.
Remember to make a note of your previous or current salary with all its components.
Make a good first impression.
Wish the interviewer(s) cheerfully and with a smile.
A firm handshake is an indicator of how you are feeling. If you are a lady, then some male employers might not make the first move, but go ahead and initiate the handshake.
Wait till you are asked to sit down.
Look the person in the eye.
Do not appear too nervous or overconfident - Your body language usually conveys more than what you are saying. Don't slouch or lean forward too much.
Try to curb nervous mannerisms [eg. fidgeting or biting your finger.]
Appear comfortable, confident and interested in securing the job.
During the interview -

Start the interview with a pleasant smile.
Always remember to give a firm handshake. If there are women in your interview panel, wait for the other person to extend the hand while shaking hands.
Listen carefully to what the interviewer is saying.
Stress on what you can contribute to the organisation.
Remember that the employer is in control of the interview.
Don't be too long-winded, say what you want to convey in crisp sentences and use terms that would convey your job & achievements.
Complete your sentences - don't answer just yes or no.
What you don't know can be learned, tell them if you don't know something. But give instances of how quick a learner you are.
Do not boast. People on the other side are shrewd and can generally see through you. At the same time talk about achievements giving due credit to others.
When talking about yourself and your aspirations, do not sound vague or do not say that you don't know something. You should be very clear and precise about what you want to do, where you want to go etc.
If you don't understand a question, ask for clarification, don't answer vaguely.
Don't talk about your personal problems, why you need the job etc.
Don't get personal, even if you know the interviewer personally.
Don't be overconfident or too nervous.
Don't badmouth your previous employer - you could do the same in the case of the prospective customer.
Don't complain about politics, a bad boss or a poor salary - your reasons for change should be higher responsibilities, location etc.
If the interviewer is interrupted during the course of the interview, don't pick up papers on his/her desk and read them.
Don't ask about salary before the offer is made.
Strike a balance between what you actually are and what you want to be, don't paint a picture of yourself as somebody who is not concerned about money, social status etc.
Don't be in a hurry to complete the interview.
Ask questions at the end of the interview, it could be about the company, the job or the next stage of the interview process. It will be an indicator of your interest in the position.
Send a thank-you letter, outlining your interest in the job and why you are qualified for it.

Be Positive and Confident - And the Job is yours. Best of Luck!

Tips to look Slim!

Tips to look Slim!

There are times when you take a break from your sensible-eating and exercise regime and want to just lie back and enjoy all those forbidden foods. Well then you are bound to put on weight but until you have worked towards reducing the excess weight you can follow these few tips to look slim.

~ Stand comfortably erect and stick your stomach in. Good posture always makes you look slimmer.
~ Dark colours such as olive, black, charcoal grey, and navy help make areas appear smaller so wear them where you think you need it. For most women it's from the waist down.
~ Avoid shiny or heavily textured fabrics. Shiny fabrics reflect light, making any area appear larger. Heavily texture fabrics only add extra weight.
~ Sewn-down pleats in skirts and blouses can both create a slimming effect. Include vertical lines in your accessories, such as long chains worn around the neck.
~ Avoid extensive use of horizontal lines - belts, boat-collar blouses and border print skirts. These styles can add extra width to your body frame.
~ Your best asset is your face; so draw attention to it with scarves and jewellery worn around the face.
` Introduce simple lines, such as A-line skirts, tailor-notched, collared blouses and blazers. The oversized blazer is a great solution for camouflaging large derrieres and hips. Double-pleated skirts and trousers mask protruding stomachs and provide comfort as well.
~ If you want to appear thinner incorporate dark, cool and dull colours and textures. Dull textures absorb the light like wool or cotton. Some very slimming colours include black, navy, olive, violet, charcoal grey, chocolate brown, plum, eggplant and burgundy.
