Strategies To Get A JOB

GET THE JOB ! ! !

It's the question that everyone is always asking: How does one find a job these days? The second question is how do I get this or that company to recognize my talents? To help you land some work, you need to spend time planning your overall approach.

Tip 1: Ask yourself what you want to do

Don't just go around looking for the highest paying job you can find; you need to also ask yourself exactly what it is you want to do with your career. Take a few moments and think about exactly what you want to do. What is your goal? Once you have figured it out, then you can start looking for that post.

Tip 2: Spend some time working on your resume

First impressions are extremely important, and that means you need to plan and design your resume well. Regardless of the format that you use, the following are very important and must be considered at all time.

1. Do not make it too long; usually one page is enough.

2. Do not write any long winded paragraphs; just list down your previous working experience, your skills, the positions you held etc. Again, do not lump them together, but use a bullet to separate each.

3. Stick to the facts: most employers will check out your background, so don't put anything there that cannot be verified. Also, if you say that you are able to do something that in reality you cannot, you might get in trouble if you are assigned that task.

At the same time, you must not and cannot afford to sell yourself short. Highlight any awards, recognitions that you have gotten, and also point out your strengths.

4. Check your spelling and grammar. If a job applicant cannot even take the time to double check and clean up a resume, how can that person claim to be reliable?

5. If you are unsure of how to design your job resume, there are several online samples that can help. Check them out, and make any modifications that you see fit.

Preparing for that Job Interview

The following should help when you are going on a job interview.

Tip 1: Do some research on the company you are applying for

It's very likely that you will be asked questions regarding the company's vision or product, so be sure to have an answer.

Tip 2: Practice

You need to work on this carefully. Stand before a mirror, and start rehearsing. Watch your facial reactions, any mannerisms, the tone of your voice etc. You need to sound confident, but without coming across as being arrogant.

Tip 3: Be on time for the interview. The importance of this cannot be overstated.

Tip 4: Be polite but at the time, try not to be too condescending; while you may want to sound professional, you shouldn't be too rigid; be conversational. In other words, act naturally.

Tip 5: Don't be discouraged if you don't get a job right away. Keep working on your skills, and sooner than later you'll find yourself with that dream job.

WHY WOMEN APOLOGIZE MORE ? ?

Whether it’s bumping into someone when getting on the train to stopping an argument with a significant other, it seems that women are always the first ones to say “I’m sorry.”

While some of us are just being knee-jerk polite, two new studies actually suggest that we’re more likely to apologize in most situations than men — only not for the reasons you might think.

A study that monitored the conversations of 66 male and female subjects over the course of a 12-day period found that women said “sorry” significantly more often than men. However, researchers who also asked subjects to report mistakes and offenses they’d made during that time period discovered that women reported more than their male counterparts.

Its just that men have a higher threshold for what they think warrants reparation, the scientists said. When researchers looked at the number of apologies relative to the number of offences the participants perceived they had committed, they saw no differences between the genders.

"Men are't actively resisting apologizing because they think it will make them appear weak or because they don't want to take responsibility for their actions," said studies. "It seems to be that when they think they've done something wrong they do apologize just as frequently as when women think they've done something wrong. Its just that they think they've done fewer things wrong,"

The findings might have implications for how men and women communicate with each other. Also adding to their study did not find any evidence to back the assumption that women are more apologetic sex. Schumann and her colleagues conducted two studies to see if genders do indeed differ in how often they apologize, and if so , why this might be.

By the study and survey they have done says that women apologized more and reported committing more offensive acts, but both men and women apologized about 81 % of the time when they deemed their actions offensive.

Men think they make fewer mistakes

To reach at this conclusion, lead researcher Karina Schumann, a doctoral student in social psychology at the University, and her colleagues conducted two studies to see if men and women differ in how often they apologize.

The study looked at the number of apologies relative to the number of offenses the participants perceived they had committed and found no differences between the genders. "Men aren't actively resisting apologising because they think it will make them appear weak or because they don't want to take responsibility for their actions," said study researcher Schumann.

"It seems to be that when they think they've done something wrong they do apologise just as frequently as when women think they've done something wrong.

It's just that they think they've done fewer things wrong," Schumann was quoted as saying by LiveScience.

Study details and findings

In the first study, 33 university students in the age group of 18 to 44 years were asked to maintain an online record for 12 days documenting whether they apologized or did something they thought required an apology, even if they didn't actually say sorry.

Researchers also kept a track of how often they felt someone had committed an offensive act against them that required reparation.

It was found that women tend to apologize more and reported committing more offensive acts, but both men and women apologized about 81 percent of the time when they deemed their actions went offensive.

But, men were found to be less likely to report being victims of wrongdoing, researchers said.

For the second study, 120 undergraduates were enrolled to rate how severe they thought a particular offense was. For instance, they had to recall if they woke their friend up late at night, and because of the sleep disturbance, the friend did poorly on an interview the next day.

Interestingly, here also, women rated the offenses as more severe than men did, and women were also more likely to admit the friend deserved an apology.

"Neither men nor women are wrong when they disagree about whether or not an offence has occurred or whether or not an apology is desired," Schumann said. "It's just that they have different perceptions of an event that has occurred between them."

The studies, published in the journal ‘Psychological Science,’ were conducted on small scale and involved only university students, so the findings might not be applicable to all men and women in general, the researchers concluded.

10 golden rules to keep romance alive in relationships

Getting into a relationship is easy, but keeping it alive is the difficult part.

There are plenty of things, big or small, that can wreck an otherwise great relationship. Now, Dr Barton Goldsmith, a California-based psychotherapist and the author of '100 Ways to Boost Your Self-Confidence - Believe in Yourself and Others Will Too' reveals what all can kill romantic relationships and how to save it from falling apart.

1. Money: It's the root of all evils, as they say. If a partner has been unscrupulous, getting the trust back can be a challenge, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

2. Sex/infidelity: A sexless marriage or unfaithfulness can extinguish love quicker than blowing out a candle. Don't let the flame burn out and try to renew your sex life.

3. Disrespect: Research shows that belittling, insulting or yelling at your partner can cut the chances of your relationship's survival.

4. Children: Some live for them, others would rather kill themselves. Make sure to keep things in balance with your partner, so you have the energy to deal with any child issues.

5. Opposite-sex friends: If you don't want your spouse/partner to dine out and have drinks with a member of the opposite sex, then you need to follow the same guidelines.

6. Resentments: Don't hold your pain, hurt or anger inside. If you are harbouring some resentment talk it out and put the matter to rest, so you can enjoy your relationship.

7. Lying/broken promises: Even if you're afraid of getting in trouble, tell the whole truth and don't break promises, and find a way to make up for past mistakes.

8. Laziness: Keeping a relationship is hard work, and if you are unwilling to do it, your connection will diminish and you will begin to resent your partner.

9. Being mean: If you punish your partner when you don't get your way, or if the two of you give each other the silent treatment, you are headed for a lifetime of emotional pain. Stop the nastiness and learn to talk about it.

10. Discomfort/remodelling. If you are living in a construction zone, it's pretty hard to feel comfortable. Injury or illness can create a similar situation. Your home should be a place of serenity, so if you are remodelling or are dealing with physical issues, make your comfort a priority. (ANI)

Maruti planning a rival to the Tata Nano

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), the maker of the People's Car, is planning to come up with a car costing under Rs 2 lakh to regain its market share in the small car segment that it lost to rival Tata Nano.

For this, it has entered into price negotiations with component suppliers. Maruti Suzuki has asked auto component firms providing parts to Tata Nano for customised cheaper components.

A person close to the development said the firm is seriously planning a car priced closer to Nano. This would take the price point well below the recently relaunched Maruti Suzuki Alto.

"The plan was there for a long time after it announced the phasing out of Maruti 800. However, it was closely watching and waiting for the economy to turn around. Now the plans are back on the front burner. As per the plans, the car will be priced below Rs 2 lakh," a company official told MAIL TODAY on condition of anonymity.

"Negotiations are already going on and the company has asked us to cut the prices of our parts by at least 15-20 per cent for one of their new models," an official of an auto component company told Mail Today . When contacted, a Maruti Suzuki spokesperson, however, denied any such plans.

Maruti's entry-level car Maruti 800, non-air conditioned, is priced at Rs 1,92,936. It was the cheapest car that earned the firm the image of the 'People's car-maker'. It sold the largest number of cars in the small car segment.

However, with the adoption of strict emission norms, the car had to be phased out in 13 cities in the country. The base model of Alto currently sells at Rs 2,29,055.

Meanwhile, Tata Motors' Nano has managed to establish itself as the cheapest car in the world costing Rs 1,23,361 (ex- showroom New Delhi).

Maruti plans to change this picture with its new model. During April-July, Maruti Suzuki sold 8,586 units of Maruti 800 compared with 23,779 units of Nanos.

"What the company is looking at is quality better than Nano so there would be little difference of margin. Talks are already going on with various auto component companies. The company is re-negotiating deals with component providers for Alto," the official added.

After the launch of Nano, the market was full of speculation about the company's next move but Maruti Suzuki made no official comments on its plans for a new car.

The company is also working fast to expand its assembly line capacity. The company expects to start its new assembly line at its Manesar factory nearly seven months ahead of its original plan.

"I am not aware of any announcement made so far but yes, making a car like Nano is possible and feasible as well.

Although not all can repeat the Nano story, Maruti has resources and expertise to come up with such a model at a cheap price without compromising on quality," Vinnie Mehta of Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India ( ACMA) said.

How to impress Recruiters

Three Things Important In your resume

During your job search you will review hundreds of job postings. Some will be very well written and provide quality information, while others will tell you little about the employer's needs. The majority of them have a similar format and characteristics, and they provide insight into what the employer wants--if you know what to look for.

Postings can be written by a hiring manager or a recruiter, but it's usually the recruiter who receives and screens the applications. With this in mind you should be sure that your résumé will make a recruiter feel confident that you are qualified. By making the most of the insight you can glean from the following three sections of a typical job posting, you can better position yourself to impress recruiters and get interviews:

The job title: Every job posting includes a job title. It is often what first piques your interest in the posting, and it's the first thing the hiring manager thought of when he or she decided to create the position. Most job seekers overlook the intelligence the job title provides and suffer for it. The job title gives you the most likely keywords that will be used to find qualified candidates for the job, and because of that you can use it to your advantage.

At AttractJobsNOW.com we use the job title as our guide in creating effective customized résumés by ensuring that each candidate's summary statement and areas of expertise are in line with the job title. We ensure that the words in the job title appear prominently throughout the résumé, so that our clients will appear at the top of candidate searches. As a result, more than 95% of our candidates succeed in getting job interviews at their companies of interest.

Responsibilities: The responsibilities section describes what will be expected of the employee in the position. You'll often find that there are five to 10 bullet points in this section, but in our research with recruiters and hiring managers we've found that the first three responsibilities are the most important. Job postings are usually based on a primary business need to which additional responsibilities are added to create a full-time position. Your résumé should focus on your experience, results and accomplishments in the tasks outlined in the first three bullets in the responsibilities section. Also you'll find keywords in those first three bullets that recruiters will use in searching for qualified candidates.

Qualifications: The qualifications section provides insight into the experience, skills and education the hiring manager has in mind for the person they feel will be capable of excelling in the role. As in the responsibilities section, the first three qualifications are usually the most important. If you meet those top three qualifications, you should directly say so in the summary section at the top of your résumé, to instantly inform the hirer that you're qualified and to persuade them to read the rest of your résumé. If you don't meet the top three qualifications but have others strengths that qualify you to excel, definitely mention them in your summary section.

Taking the time to analyze job postings and customize your résumé based on their job titles, responsibilities and qualifications is often the difference between receiving interviews and being screened out of the recruiting process.

How Your Weekend Can Be Ruined

How Your Weekend Can Be Ruined

You were looking forward to the weekend after a week of early mornings. Every day you climbed out of bed at 5am thinking “just 4 more days…just 2 more days…”

And when your weekend is here, you think you can sleep in late (at least till 10, before the traffic picks up) but that’s not to be. At 6am sharp, the building next door starts drilling – LOUDLY. You bury your face in your pillow and try your best to shut the noise out.

But since it’s not your day, the cell phone trills right in your ear. It’s daddy dear wanting to know how the dinner went last night. You really want to tell him, “Dad I’ve got a slight hangover, I’d like to sleep, just for a bit more”. But you don’t, of course. You don’t want to give him a shock at 7am. Instead, you hang up promising to call him at a sane hour.

You barely reach your subconscious when the phone shrieks, again. It’s your friend saying the flat next door to theirs is empty, if you want to move in. You mumble incoherently and cut the call. All that and it’s not even 8am on a holiday!

Clearly the day isn’t going too good. So you decide you might as well wake up and watch some TV. How naive of you to think you could do that; don’t you know it’s not your day? As punishment for thinking that you could indulge in something like that, the always prompt Bangalore city’s electricity gods decide to black out your part of the city.

Ha. But there is a greater God above, and you pull out your laptop and connect with the world. Then again, it’s a tough battle between the invisible and intangible God in heaven and the omnipresent gods here on earth. And the latter is winning the battle as the battery of your laptop is blinking furiously, threatening to die out any minute. It has to happen just when you’re chatting with a friend you haven’t spoken to in years.

At 2% of battery remaining, the one above wins the war and lo, there’s light in the world! You switch on the TV- all riled up at the way things have been going so far. All you need now is some nice song that’ll lift your mood. And whaddya know, you get just the song you need.

ZERO RUPEE NOTE

Zero rupee note tackles India's corruption culture

An Indian lobby group has introduced a novel anti-corruption tool: the zero-rupee note that can be handed over to any crooked bureaucrat who seeks a little extra payment.

The protest note - literally worth only the paper it is printed on - is being promoted by 5th Pillar, a group that campaigns on behalf of ordinary Indians who are forced to grease the palms of millions of civil servants.Vijay Anand, head of 5th Pillar, said the bill, which looks similar to a real 50-rupee note, was first distributed to students in the southern state of Tamil Nadu to encourage them to reject India's "baksheesh" culture.

"The corruption prevailing in the common man's life is painful and it can be dealt with by the zero-rupee note," said Anand. Many Indians are resigned to having to pay extra for government services and to smooth daily transactions such as registering a birth, getting a driving licence or avoiding the attentions of an unscrupulous traffic officer.

But Manmohan Singh, the prime minister, has often spoken out against the damaging effect that bribes, extortion and fraud have on all levels of life, and said that the problem threatens India's economic prospects.

In its latest annual report Transparency International stated that each year almost four million poor Indian families had to bribe officials for access to basic public services.

In the same report, India slipped further in its corruption index from 72nd to 85th in a list of 180 countries.

Anand said the zero-rupee note, which was conceived by an Indian professor living in the United States, gave people the chance to register a grassroots protest against low-level corruption.

"We are confident it will change the way people think and act in the coming years," he said. The bill, which like all Indian notes is graced with a picture of independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, carries 5th Pillar's email address and phone number and the solemn vow "I promise to neither accept nor give a bribe".

Volunteers hand them out near places where officials are often on the look-out for a backhander, such as railway stations and government hospitals.

Though questions remain over whether it is legal to print the fake - if worthless - money, more than one million bills in five languages have been distributed.

Anand said they have even had a practical effect, often shaming officials into getting business done efficiently without using real cash.

"There has not been one incident where a zero-rupee note has created a more serious situation," said Anand.

Ravi Sundar, an IT recruiter in the southern city of Coimbatore, said he used the notes whenever he had government business to sort out.

He gave one example where a tax official refused to process documents unless he paid her 500 rupees.

"I handed over the zero-rupee note which I always keep in my pocket," said Sundar.

"She was afraid and didn't want to take it. She completed the job immediately and said she was sorry and asked me not to take it forward."

Parth J. Shah, president of the Centre for Civil Society think tank, said the root of the problem lay in state-run companies and their vast bureaucracies.

"Unless we remove monopolies and the kind of licensing system that we have in many areas of life to create more competition, we're unlikely to get rid of low-level corruption," he said.

Anand said he hoped to introduce the zero rupee note across India, but he insists he remains an optimist about human behaviour.

"We haven't given up on officials. There are honest ones in every department," he said.

How to Keep Your Customer Experience Efforts on Track

There's a good chance your company has responded to the recession with an increased commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience. Such efforts might address systemic issues like "poorly designed interactions, broken processes, outdated business rules, insufficient customer insight and cultures that are far from customer-centric," notes Bruce Temkin in a post at the Retail Customer Experience blog. And while some companies will succeed in this process in 2010, Temkin says, others may falter.

So he offers a few tips for keeping your team's customer-experience efforts on track. Among them:

Back up your stated goals with action. "[E]xecutives should either get actively involved in customer experience transformation or drop it from their agendas," he argues. His suggestion for the C-suite: "Develop a customer-experience dashboard and manage the results with the same energy that you manage financial results."

Don't give social-media insights more credit than they deserve. You can certainly learn about your customers—and address immediate concerns—with Twitter and Facebook, but that won't give you the entire story, he notes. "Other channels—like comments on surveys and calls into the call center—can often provide even richer insight."

View customer service as a strategic asset. Temkin reports that his research has found that customers actually want good customer service more than they want low prices. "But companies often treat customer service as an unwanted stepchild," he adds.

Don't take employee buy-in for granted. Your staff might embrace a change initiative without resistance, but you can't assume that will be the case, Temkin cautions. Make every staff member a part of the planning process, he advises.
