How to face Interview

      How to face Interview?!

On 22nd of June In our PPD session we learnt a very important thing "How to face an Interview" by our Madam.

01.Before Facing Interview

Research the company

 The first thing you should do after you’ve been asked to interview for a position at a company is to research the company. Find out what the mission of the company is, how long it’s been around, how many employees it has, and what your position would be if you got the job.

Prepare to answer common questions

Though each interview is different, there are certain questions that many interviewers commonly ask, and it’s good to have some answers prepared so you don’t look unprepared or caught off guard.

Ex:-“What are your biggest strengths and weakness?”

Prepare to ask at least two questions

 At the end of most interviews, your potential employers will ask you if you have any questions you want to ask them. You should prepare at least a handful of questions and pick the ones that are the most relevant to ask; this shows that you’ve done your research and are excited about the position.

Practice with a friend

 If you want to feel really confident going into that interview, then you may want to practice with a friend or even someone who knows about your field first. This can help you practice stating your answers with confidence, getting the body language down, and feeling secure in what you have to offer.

Prepare to explain why you’d be a good fit for the company

 Another thing you need to get ready to say is why you’d be a great fit for the company. Check out what the employees at the company are like and what the company values the most when it comes to the position you’re seeking; use buzzwords to show why you possess those qualities and why you’d be a perfect fit for the job you’re interviewing for.

Prepare to bring everything you need

 It’s important to get everything you need together the day before you go to the interview so you don’t have to do any last-minute preparation to get ready for the big day. You’ll most likely need to bring your resume and cover letter to use as a reference, as well as any other additional materials that you think will help give your interviewers a better sense of who you are and the work that you do.

Dress professionally

 If you want to make a good impression, then you have to start off by dressing professionally.

Arrive at least 10 minutes early

 Showing up a little bit early to the interview shows that you’re punctual and that you really care about your job.

02.After facing Interview

Avoid sharing overly personal information

 Though you may feel like your interviewers really like you and that they’re getting buddy buddy with you, you should avoid mentioning anything overly personal about yourself. Don’t talk about your significant other, your kids, or your personal problems at home

Make sure to thank your interviewers in person and shake hand strongly 

 When the interview is over, show that you’re grateful for the fact that your interviewers took the time to meet with you and to get a chance to talk to you about your skills and qualifications. As you leave the room, shake your interviewer’s hand

Back the chair where was it

When you leave the room don't forget to keep the chairs in the same place and also carry the drink bottles with you and don't let them away.

STORY WRITING

STORY WRITING

We were divided into 3 groups and asked to sit facing back to the white board. In each group one of the team members was given a white board marker. Our task was to write a story with a good ending. Each student can write one word at a time. There were four rounds and we were not allowed to talk with the team members. And had to make it quick. So each one had to run to the white board and write a word. We ran to the white board, just read the story and suddenly wrote what we got to our mind.

It was so difficult to predict what the other wanted to say. Even miss Sarasi changed the order of the team members in the last round. At last we got very complicated unbalanced stories which they were funny to read. But no any organization.

 What I realized was it is easy when we develop small sentences. So that we can make a meaningful story. It is really hard to do a group activity without discussing to each other. Different people think in different ways. So it is not easy to work on another one’s plan without discussing or without knowing about the plan. Communication is something very important when we live in the society and work with lots of people.Sometimes we may get half done projects to finish or else we may have to leave with a half done project to another's hand. So what shall we do to make it convenient for others? We should communicate. As software engineers we can leave comments in our codes so that anyone can carryout the work. There should be a method or a common way we declare variables in a project. We have to listen to other’s ideas and choose the best one. Team work is efficient and joyful when we have mutual understanding. 

Mistake that we made

We all hurry to finish the game first but we didn't carefully read words that wrote earlier. So in our story there were two words that didn't matched and it was the reason that our story missed the continuity.

Lesson from the session

Without any conversations / less of conversation  with our neighbors, it's very difficult to do a work even a small work, and if  we managed to do it, then it should not be a perfect one. So the healthy and meaning full conversation is very important between us.

MAKE PAPER-PLANE

                       PAPER-PLANE

      This is the first activity that we did in our second semester. We were divided into two groups. There were nine members in our group. After that our madam gave 6 yellow papers to us. The task was, we want to make planes as much as possible by use those papers and out two members of our group wants to threw the planes over the marked points.

              At the beginning we got 5 minutes to plan the strategy and then thirty minutes to made the plan.So, in the first 5 mins we made a sample plane and threw it for trial and then we started making the planes.At the end, we were able to make only 29 planes while our opponents made 36.

                     After the huge construction of our planes,our pilots Ashik and Ramakrishnan were ready for launching them...but unfortunately our team was able to make 19 planes cross the boundary.Hence,the  opponents team was consider as the winners because they made more planes to cross the boundary line.
