Are you hunting for a Job?

For any professional good/bad, IT/non-IT, he/she will start preparing for the interview only when thay start looking for a change. And probably he might not be able to recollect all the approach/steps he followed previously. I would always suggest them to document all the important things in their career. Off-course, preparing for the interviews is a important one to write a journal on. Few points from mine...

  • At a regular interval say one year, go and try with few interviews to gain knowledge and confidence.

  • Keep your resumes always updated for every major change say, learnt new technology, changed project/role, trainig attended, etc... or at some regular interval at-least. Stick to single unique and professional resume format. Don't have more than 3-4 pages.

  • Update your latest professional resume on job sites like Naukri, Timesjobs, Monsterjobs, etc...

  • Start preparing the basics in a day or two and start answering the calls & attending interviews.

  • Please don't expect to clear the interiew in intial stages. Note down the points at each interviews like expectation, area covered, roles & responsibilities, etc...

  • Start analyzing and identify the areas you are lagging in.

  • This will create knowledge & confidence in you and will help you to clear your interviews faster.

All the best!

Top Skills Professionals Need to Master

What do professionals really need to know?

Communication Skill In order to be successful in your job and career, you must communicate powerfully and effectively with confidence and clarity. There's been  much written about introverts as leaders and managers, and how they can use their innate skills and gifts to succeed as leaders. Your  personality type and level of introversion/extroversion aside, if you can't communicate your ideas in an empowered, clear and engaging way, you  simply won't perform or progress as well as your counterparts who can communicate with ease and strength. 2. Building Relationships So many professionals don't get this one basic point until it...

Dumb Things Smart People Do That Limit Their Careers

 [ BY   GORDON TREDGOLD , FOUNDER AND CEO, LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES ] Just because we're smart doesn't mean that we're not going to make dumb mistakes, mistakes that can hamper our career and hold us back. No matter how smart we are, we won't achieve your full potential until we stop making this seven stupid mistakes. 1.Thinking and Talking are NOT THE SAME as Doing. Planning and preparation are important ingredients in achieving success, but the most important thing of all is action. We cannot think your way to success no matter how smart you are. At some point, we need to roll your sleeves up and make it happen. 2. Waiting to be promoted before Doing the next level job. If we want to be a Leader, then we need to start leading . Leadership isn't a title or a position; it's about action, influence and the ability to drive results. Throughout my career, I have seen hundreds of smart people wait to be offered a leadership position before they start to lead. But that...
