Interiew tips

There are few tips you must know while walking into interview. A person qualities and knowledge only does not matter even a behavior matters. This are the tips which will be helpful while attending interviews. The full information about the must be known before entering the interview room. These are the qualities which I have listed from Google source.

Do’s

·   Wear the right outfit: Make sure you know what the dress code is for the office. One good idea is to check with HR before the interview to get a feel of what you should wear.

·   Bring copies of your résumé: Although you're sure the company has your résumé, it never fails to bring copies of you’re just in case your interviewer needs to look at it and doesn't have it in front of her.

·   Have a nice folder for your résumé: your résumé keep it in pristine condition in a professional-looking folder.

·   Have the appropriate body language: Be aware of how you're carrying yourself during an interview, because your posture, eye contact, and relaxed position can impress your interviewer. Remember to sit still and straight and don't fidget.

·   Give the right answer to the weakness question: This could be the question that could trip you up. Be honest and give a real answer and not a cop-out one.

·   Be on time or slightly early: Turning up five to 10 minutes early is the sweet spot for interviews. Showing up too early can make things awkward, and showing up too late is a red flag. But just because you only have to get there shortly before the interview starts doesn't mean that you can leave your house later. Plan to be near the interview spot a lot earlier than when it starts to account for unexpected delays like traffic, and hang around in a nearby coffee shop until it is close to the interview time.

·   Prepare the right questions for the interviewer: Make sure you've prepared a list of good questions to ask your interviewer at the end. Pay attention throughout the interview, so you'll have questions related to what the hiring manager talked about. This shows that you're actively listening.

·   Send a thank you note: Always send a thank you note after the interview. This is something that's appreciated by a lot of recruiters. It's also your chance to make a final impression or clarify anything you didn't get around to in your interview.

Don't

·   Think the interview is over until you walk out the door: The interview will continue until you walk out the office door, so be careful of your behavior and your words even when your hiring manager is done firing questions at you. Be polite and on top of your game when you are making casual conversation on your way out, and be nice to the receptionist.

·   Get too relaxed: Your interviewer can seem like your long-lost BFF, but . . . she's not. And you shouldn't treat her like one. It's OK to be friendly, but you're still trying to make a good impression. Don't be too relaxed or you may slip up and do something that's unprofessional. She's not going to base the interview solely on how likeable you are.

·   Badmouth your old job: Maybe you had a boss à la Devil Wears Prada, but your hiring manager doesn't need to know that. Badmouthing your former employer just gives off negative vibes and detracts from your professionalism.

·   Be unprepared: This should be obvious, but research the company to death. This is so you can craft your answers to fit the kind of candidate they're looking for and show that you're diligent and have done your homework.

·   Address salary or benefits until the interviewer does: OK, so they are very important factors for you, but hold off until you get the job offer. Your interviewer wants to see what you can do for the company, not what's in it for you.

·   Freak out if you don't know the answer: The interviewer just threw you a big curveball by asking you to do some calculations when you have a phobia of math. Don't. Freak. Out. The worst thing you can do is to clam up when you don't know an answer, because you won't be able to think clearly and may throw out a bad answer in panic.

·   Lie: Never, ever lie. Being found out will ruin your chances of getting the job. Plus if you make up something, you may not be able to talk at length about it without slipping up. Generally speaking, honesty is the best policy.

·   Talk about your problems: You need the job to pay off your student loans, blah blah. The hiring manager does not want to hear about your 99 problems, and although you're being honest, it can come off as a pity party. You will be hired based on your qualifications, potential for success, and your fit with the culture. Everything else will be secondary to those factors.

THE DEBATE ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

THE DEBATE ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Arguments on corporate social responsibility was over a long years. If the CSR were widely accepted then would not be labelled as CSR because they are doing it. The debate constitutes many ‘for and against’ the CSR and wide variety of definition in the view of people towards CSR. The companies argue that there is a human rights case against CSR, where it deprives the shareholders approach. It deprives the shareholders property rights. But in response to the above argument, CSR is about building relationships with customers, about attracting and retaining talented staff, about managing risk, and about assuring reputation. The Companies says that they don’t have time to do CSR activities they have to concentrate on core business. But they forgot the thing that CSR influence the customers. In one of the debate it has been said that why corporation has to spend money for the welfare of the community .The companies argued against the government for the purpose of development, government had imposed tax. In later case, it argues, why we have to again spend money for the companies? It is the duty of governments and not us. When we had pay in the form of tax. Some says that CSR nothing more than distraction and mostly irrelevant to the company. In one of the debate argued that the solution to companies' ills is good governance and better management, not CSR. "CSR becomes a smokescreen for companies to hide business conflicts, and therefore, becomes rhetoric," he said. "We have been teaching good management in business schools for years. CSR is not the solution." In the counter, Milton Friedman's arguments, in today's "flat world" where we are all employees, consumers, and capitalists, this no longer holds true. The problem, he said, is the way the language of corporate social responsibility has been constructed, creating confusion because of a lack of widely agreed upon clarity. These are some of the arguments and confusion of the CSR.In conclusion to the above CSR is important for the welfare of the community by this india's economic condition would be far more better than before.

 Introduction :The Arguments on corporate social responsibility was over a long years. If the CSR were widely accepted then would not be labelled as CSR because they are doing it. The debate constitutes many ‘for and against’ the CSR and wide variety of definition in the view of people towards CSR.

Arguments :The companies argue that there is a human rights case against CSR, where it deprives the shareholders approach. It deprives the shareholders property rights. But in response to the above argument, CSR is about building relationships with customers, about attracting and retaining talented staff, about managing risk, and about assuring reputation. The Companies says that they don’t have time to do CSR activities they have to concentrate on core business. But they forgot the thing that CSR influence the customers. In one of the debate it has been said that why corporation has to spend money for the welfare of the community .The companies argued against the government for the purpose of development, government had imposed tax. In later case, it argues, why we have to again spend money for the companies? It is the duty of governments and not us. When we had pay in the form of tax. Some says that CSR nothing more than distraction and mostly irrelevant to the company. In one of the debate argued that the solution to companies' ills is good governance and better management, not CSR. "CSR becomes a smokescreen for companies to hide business conflicts, and therefore, becomes rhetoric," he said. "We have been teaching good management in business schools for years. CSR is not the solution." In the counter, Milton Friedman's arguments, in today's "flat world" where we are all employees, consumers, and capitalists, this no longer holds true. The problem, he said, is the way the language of corporate social responsibility has been constructed, creating confusion because of a lack of widely agreed upon clarity. These are some of the arguments and confusion of the CSR.

conclusion :CSR is important for the welfare of the community by this india's economic condition would be far more better than before.

HISTORY OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

HISTORY OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate social responsibility is a voluntary activity undertaken by firm for the sustainable development of the firm. It is conducted by firm for the welfare of the nearby community. CSR activities would be done on the basis of 2% of the Annual turnover. These days government made it compulsory that every firm has to undertake programmes for the welfare of the companies. But there are few companies which don’t contribute to welfare of the public. Some of the companies achieved their sales targets through the CSR activities by promoting their works. The history of CSR has four phases with developing India. In the first Phase charity and philanthropy were the main drivers of CSR. During the independence second phase had been emerged. This was the time when Mahatma Gandhi introduced a “notion of trusteeship”. At that time, there was stress industrialist they have do something to the welfare of the society. Gandhi’s influence put a pressure on the industrialist to act towards building a nation. The third phase of CSR is the mixed economy. During this phase there was a Emergence of public sector undertakings. Public sector became the prime mover of the development of the nation. And private sector had forced to take backseat. Subsequently, public sector ruled over private sector during third phase. This period is called as “era of command and control” where they imposed rigid rules and regulation surrounding the activities of the private sector. However public sector undertaken by providing necessary resources likes food, shelter etc to the community. This led to shift of expectation from the public to the private sector. The private sector’s active involvement made the development of socio economic conditions of the country. In spite of such attempts CSR failed. During fourth phase from 1980 to 2013, Indian companies started their mission to boost the economy of the country. Companies undertaken sustainable business strategy .The globalisation and liberalisation were undertaken. The policy of licensing system and controls on the companies made rapid growth in the Indian company. CSR is not new to the Indian companies, where Tata group and Adithya Birla had serving the community by charity events or by donating funds. The objective of the CSR is to maximize the overall impact on the stakeholders and share holders. So this was the history of CSR.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT-corporate world

  PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 
Today, corporate world needs the person, to be honest with a better performance in job and before entering into a job.Therefore,you must be known what is your qualities, dislikes strengths and weakness.You must be confident enough to answer the question,in the interview.So, I thought of writing my ability to answer their questions.These are strengths of mine which I would like to share. 

Strength and weakness are most difficult question to answer by everyone. But in every interviewer asks same question to interviewee to make his or her task difficult. So I thought to come up with my strength and weakness where I get confidence after knowing myself. Now,I would like to share my opinion about myself to enhance my personal development. I’m in a process to improve myself in all the areas to become a best product to the company.Strengths are my parents who supported me in each and every stage and next strong wall is friends who suggested me in every part of my life in taking the decision or solving problems and next best people in the world are relatives to fill the gap between the parents and friends. Relatives give world class entertainment, love, care, suggestion, solution, happiness. I’m an optimistic person where I think everything is fine and people are nice to me and they are truthful to me .Before starting any work I boost myself to get confidence and never lack my enthusiasm and always hope for better.

In addition to my strengths, helping nature in my degree days most whom I know they come to me asking for help I don’t say no when someone asks for help .The reason behind no is if I do help then some other day people will remember me and also help me and other reason is I can’t see them being sad when I say no and the third reason is while helping them I will get more things to learn which enhance my knowledge it will help in near future. I would like to tell one story when Helping nature about how helping nature developed in me , during my childhood days our family consists of 50 more members as it was joint family . We children were 20 plus together we use share our things and help others in or the other work. Among one of my cousins, she used to give all her things without a single thought. From her I learnt to share my things with other .I remember in degree days I gave autograph to my classmates and friends and their feedback and comments filled with story of how I helped them. And first meet and friendship started from helping people. Recently I helped my two of my friends in writing essay in few topics. During exam time I had also helped my neighbor in teaching her commerce subjects.

I believe Straight forward is gift by nature or from family background because everyone doesn’t have this quality. And who has it they are king of their world because no need to afraid of others. I don’t bitch in back of people whatever I say in back the same thing I will say when they talks to me. So I don’t have things to remember what I told in front and back .This will help to gain more confidence about my honesty and loyalty and people also me for this. In one of the interview I got rejected because of speaking frankly, nobody informed me about the interview in hurry I took a printout of old format of my resume .when I entered a interview room I told it was not a updated resume sorry for that .For this purpose I got rejected. But I cannot change for one if I change an attitude for one I will lose many people who loved me.  

I always remember in every part of life I love this phrase “Honest is best policy” from childhoods days my parents thought me if you are honest to you and yourself then no need to trouble about of any things. So I live with honesty without disappointing anyone, but sometimes my honesty and others disagreement leads to gap between me and my people.

The other strength, which I’m proud about myself is Sharing and caring. Sharing and caring make me live with confidence and happily .I believe it is the most important quality everyone must have to make people feel good about yourself and also me. It shows how important they are in our lives. I love to be with a People wanted to be with me forever. 

I personally believe , To be work Hard we must have knowledge of particular work otherwise you can’t do any work .Without work is done it cannot become hard working. Working hard means whatever the circumstances may be, the work must be successful then it becomes hard working. I always give my 100 percent effort on my side but every time it doesn’t get success when it doesn’t then I feel I have not worked hard for it. Hard work still required. So these are my strengths according to my knowledge. I would like to thank Prof Rita bora for helping and guiding me in my personal development. She made me to think about my qualities which made me to enhance my capacity to certain work.

MY DREAMS ABOUT CORPORATE WORLD

MY DREAMS ABOUT CORPORATE WORLD

Today stock exchange plays a key role in the world. Any fluctuation will result in a stock exchange. After coming to MBA a dream has emerged, that was to see me in national stock exchange.A Stock exchange was the first and foremost dream I have a dream with clarity. At any cost, I want to be getting placed there. I took core finance that is portfolio management. Everyone says that subject is too tough but still I opted that specialization. I don’t know, what made me to take those subjects. After taken these subjects dream want to be fulfilled otherwise I don’t know where I will be. It is not an easy task I know but some passion inspired me, learn and get placed in the a stock exchange jobs. I don’t expect much salary because the knowledge they expect is more than what I have. So I thought of joining crash courses in a stock exchange, where I can get some technical knowledge about how it works. A crash course also helps us to chase a dream. Once after I join Mangalore stock exchange, I will not move from here. Later, I expect after getting enhancing my knowledge about stock exchange moving to the other branches of stock exchange Kolkata or Bombay stock exchange. So that I can learn the culture of other people and also tradition also reflects in the stock exchange. Until, I get complete knowledge about a stock exchange I will not move out from the company whatever may be the hardships. If three years is enough to learn those things, then I will stay for three years otherwise more than three might be five or more. I don’t think so I can learn everything in three years. Fluctuations in stock exchange might  keep me interesting in the job. I believe satisfaction is more necessary rather than opting job by looking through the salary. I had made an entire plan to achieve goals otherwise it will be ,”without goals and plans to reach them , It is like a ship that has set to sail without no destination”. As Tony Robbins say setting goals is the first step to turning the invisible into visible. So I had set the goal I don’t know at what extent I could succeed just hope for the best.As Zig Ziglar says “if you want to reach a goal, you must see the reaching in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal”. Hence, imagination is also necessary to achieve a goal. I never give up my goals. Dreams are my final destination of life. I wanted to work in a bank. I will attempt all bank exams and clear it as soon as possible. Then the good move towards banks. In this area also I will meet new people, I will improve communicating skill. Somebody says that work until your bank account look like a phone number. It’s not my intention but there must be some reason to get self-motivated. The next five years my dream is to enter into the corporate world where they say confidence is silent and insecurities are loud. The next years because I want to learn all type of work and also to know, understand people more through a different field of works. Knowledge is life’s asset once you learn you never forget. Learning is my passion. The only source of knowledge is experiences like taking risk and achieving goal. Then, you might be thinking when she get marry??? Yes, after fulfilling my dreams I will marry. A one and only life’s pending work is marriage. Happy married life enjoying whole heartedly. That’s all about my plan.
