10 Most Common Interview Questions and Answers

10 Most Common Interview Questions and Answers

Unknown 16:03:00 1 Comment
Knowing how to put together a strong answer to the most common interview questions is obviously key to landing a job. The art and science of creating great answers involves being strategic in crafting your responses as well as practicing till you’re as strong a possible.
The best job candidates are not lucky. They spend a ton of time both on preparation because they know how important that 30-60 minute interview can be to their entire career.
To truly excel as an interviewee, you’ll want to consider investing in an interview coach (like Pamela Skillings) or an interview training program (like Big Interview) that will provide you with the intensive training you’ll need to do well in the interview.

10 Steps to Acing the Job Interview

If you’d prefer to get started with a free resource before paying for a coach or a program, this tutorial is designed to get you up and running with the basics for acing your next interview (in ten easy lessons).


1. How to Answer: “Tell Me About Yourself”

Your elevator pitch that gives the interviewer a quick idea of who your are – for better or worse.

2. How to Answer: “Describe Your Current (or Most Recent) Position”

One of the easier questions to answer – but you’ll still need to use it to highlight your job-relevant greatness.

3. How to Answer: “Why are you looking for a new opportunity now?”

The question that can either put your interviewer at ease or raise serious red flags.

4. How to Answer: “What are your strengths?”

Your chance to toot your own horn – but make sure to do it artfully. Being able to do 20 pull-ups does not count as a strength.

5. How to Answer: “What is your greatest weakness?”

A question that can sink you unless you’re careful. Obviously, “I work too hard” is not the answer.
The above is a more in-depth version of the older article: How to Answer: “What are your weaknesses?”

6. How to Answer: “Why do you want to work here?”

Repeat after me: Don’t say “for the money” — Don’t say “for the money” — Don’t say “for the money”

7. How to Answer: “Where do you see yourself in five years?”

Possibly one of the silliest questions – but it requires an artful and diplomatic answer.

8. How to Answer: “Why should we hire you?”

The money question. “Why” indeed. This is where you need to spend a ton of time thinking about the role, the competencies, and how you’re the perfect fit.

9. How to Answer: “Do you have any questions for me?”

Your questions here can either leave a strong, lasting impression on the interviewer, or make you come across as clueless. Here are some good questions to think about.

Exam Preparation: Ten Study Tips

Unknown 16:01:00 Add Comment
10_exam_preparation_tips

Preparing for exams? Give yourself the best chance with these top ten study tips.

1. Give yourself enough time to study

Don't leave it until the last minute. While some students do seem to thrive on last-minute 'cramming', it's widely accepted that for most of us, this is not the best way to approach an exam. Set out a timetable for your study. Write down how many exams you have and the days on which you have to sit them. Then organize your study accordingly. You may want to give some exams more study time than others, so find a balance that you feel comfortable with.

2. Organize your study space

Make sure you have enough space to spread your textbooks and notes out. Have you got enough light? Is your chair comfortable? Are your computer games out of sight?
Try and get rid of all distractions, and make sure you feel as comfortable and able to focus as possible. For some people, this may mean almost complete silence; for others, background music helps. Some of us need everything completely tidy and organized in order to concentrate, while others thrive in a more cluttered environment. Think about what works for you, and take the time to get it right.

3. Use flow charts and diagrams

Visual aids can be really helpful when revising. At the start of a topic, challenge yourself to write down everything you already know about a topic - and then highlight where the gaps lie. Closer to the exam, condense your revision notes into one-page diagrams. Getting your ideas down in this brief format can then help you to quickly recall everything you need to know during the exam.

4. Practice on old exams

One of the most effective ways to prepare for exams is to practice taking past versions. This helps you get used to the format of the questions, and - if you time yourself - can also be good practice for making sure you spend the right amount of time on each section.

5. Explain your answers to others

Parents and little brothers and sisters don't have to be annoying around exam time! Use them to your advantage. Explain an answer to a question to them. That will help you to get it clear in your head, and also to highlight any areas where you need more work.

6. Organize study groups with friends

Get together with friends for a study session. You may have questions that they have the answers to and vice versa. As long as you make sure you stay focused on the topic for an agreed amount of time, this can be one of the most effective ways to challenge yourself.

7. Take regular breaks

While you may think it's best to study for as many hours as possible, this can actually be counterproductive. If you were training for a marathon, you wouldn't try and run 24 hours a day! Likewise studies have shown that for long-term retention of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps.
Everyone's different, so develop a study routine that works for you. If you study better in the morning, start early before taking a break at lunchtime. Or if you're more productive at nighttime, take a larger break earlier on so you're ready to settle down come evening.
Try not to feel guilty about being out enjoying the sunshine instead of hunched over your textbooks. Remember Vitamin D is important for a healthy brain!

8. Snack on 'brain food'

Keep away from junk food! You may feel like you deserve a treat, or that you don't have time to cook, but what you eat can really have an impact on energy levels and focus. Keep your body and brain well-fuelled by choosing nutritious foods that have been proven to aid concentration and memory, such as fish, nuts, seeds, yogurt and blueberries. The same applies on exam day - eat a good meal before the test, based on foods that will provide a slow release of energy throughout. Sugar may seem appealing, but it won't help when your energy levels crash an hour or so later.

9. Plan your exam day

Make sure you get everything ready well in advance of the exam - don't leave it to the day before to suddenly realize you don't know the way, or what you're supposed to bring. Check all the rules and requirements, and plan your route and journey time. If possible, do a test run of the trip; if not, write down clear directions.
Work out how long it will take to get there - then add on some extra time. You really don't want to arrive having had to run halfway or feeling frazzled from losing your way. You could also make plans to travel to the exam with friends or classmates, as long as you know they're likely to be punctual!

10. Drink plenty of water

As a final tip, remember that being well hydrated is essential for your brain to work at its best. Make sure you keep drinking plenty of water throughout your revision, and also on the exam day.
Good luck!

5 Expert Tips to develop Good Writing Skills

Unknown 15:53:00 Add Comment
Are you a blogger, a content writer or writing content is a part of your daily job?
If yes, then surely you want to develop good writing skills to boost your performance or to craft your career.
Most guys want to write great and killer content and they try their best to write it, but unfortunately most of the time they fail.


expert-writing-tips

What’s the reason?

Actually, most of the people who want to write effectively and to create killer content basically don’t know the basic ways to write content.
Some of them try to copy content from some great writers and the rest just get disappointed and quit.
It’s a proven quote that “Content is the King” and definitely it is. Creating great content can lead you to success and if you are not doing well with the content part, all other things are nearly useless.
Even, I am not going to tell you a magic spell, after which someone will write an article for you and it will go viral in seconds. Damn Shit!
Today I am going to reveal some simple but effective tips to be more productive and to write like a professional.
These tips were neglected most of the time by nearly every writer, but believe me, IT REALLY WORKS!
Please keep in mind that, the best way to test a strategy is to implement it. So, follow these tips and watch the magic. You will notice yourself that your writing ability is really improved and you are writing more effectively after following these tips.
So, you want to know those secrets?
Okay, let’s move towards the Tip # 1 without any discussion

1. Look for inspirations in your Daily Life:

Your daily life is filled with thousands of inspirations. The key is to just find them. Always stay active and look for the inspirations you can gather from your daily life discussions, meetings, conferences and also from parties with friends.
Your inspiration can be related to your niche. If you write about foods, maybe you can get inspired from a dinner or from a party.

If you are blogging about Marketing and conversions, it is possible to be inspired by a marketing campaign in your area or from an informative seminar held by a company sharing their case study.
Writing is not a big deal, but writing effectively is really a hard job. Nowadays, you can attract customers & visitors only if you have great writing abilities and you can make compelling articles in your niche.

2.Write when you are most Productive:

You don’t have the same mood throughout the day. Sometimes you are feeling dizzy and sleepy and sometimes you are feeling amazingly fresh. Your productivity is affected by your mood badly. You are more productive if you are feeling fresh and healthy.
So, always write when you are feeling fresh and motivated. Avoid writing when you are disturbed and not in a good mood. Writing in such circumstances can ruin the quality and your audience will dislike your content. This effect can lead you to lose your audience extremely fast and it is really hard to get all those visitors back soon.

Don’t write when you are tired, because this can cause problems in focusing on what you are writing. Writing in an uncomfortable position can also cause anxiety and you can’t be productive if you are writing in an uncomfortable.
You can take small breaks of 5-10 minutes after some time if you start feeling tired while writing. This can boost your abilities and help you develop good writing skills by following a couple of tips.
According to a survey, a cup of coffee help’s many professional writers and bloggers to be more productive and to write more effectively.

3. Keep the disturbing gadgets away:

Although, gadgets helps us to make our life’s easier. But they can be disturbing if you are trying to write creatively. A phone call or a Facebook message can lead you to forgot all the pitches you are keeping in your mind while writing.
So, it’s better to turn off or at least put your cell phone on silent mode before you start writing. It’s better to log out all the social media websites and even your email account if it was open in the background to avoid any disturbance created by those things.

4. Always focus on Quality:

Always try to focus on quality instead of quantity if you really want to develop good writing skills as a writer. This is the biggest mistake made by most of the beginners, as they try to produce more and more content with a short span of time and thus can’t focus much on quality.
I can understand that you have to meet many deadlines or you want to be on time. But, quantity is not your goal, your goal is to produce amazingly high-quality content which can help you get thousands of leads and to acquire thousands of new customers.

5. Review what you’ve written:

There is hardly a person in the blogosphere or on the online world, who has done things perfect in the first attempt. Mostly, nobody can write perfectly in the first attempt. So, in order to produce high quality and stunning content and to develop good writing skills in yourself, try to review your content once you have finished writing.

 ou have to review your content 2-3 times and check it for grammar and other mistakes. Along with that, also review and think “How you can make it better than what it is?” edit and rewrite your content, till you get the satisfactory results.
Nearly every professional blogger review his content before hitting the publish button. Because they know that after hitting the publish button, their content will be in front of thousands of readers around the globe. So, it’s necessary that it should be perfect and for that it should be reviewed multiple times.

The Final Word:

Writing is not a simple task. Your whole success depends on your content in the online world. Writing can’t be learned completely in a specific time. With the passage of time, you learn new things daily, implement them, get results and then decide which should be followed and which should be left.
Always try to polish your writing skills, because if you want to stay in the race you have to develop yourself according to the audience and your competitors.
