Groundwork Of An Interview -Part II

1] On The Day of Interview :
Ensure you are punctual. Reaching the venue 10 mins prior to the scheduled time would not only help you make a  good first impression but also will help you get acquainted with the new environment and clam your mind. Being hydrated is another important thing to keep in mind. Interviews might take a lot of time and you need to be best on the interview day.

2] During the interview
Be calm. An interview isn’t a place to decide whether you want to get into the organization so keep those thoughts on hold till after the interview. Don't shy away from accepting your lack of knowledge about any topic this would save you any future embarrassment. Ensure to be pleasant but not timid, confident but not rude

2] After the interview
Wait patiently for the response. There are a few hidden indications of responses.“We will get back to you”  or “You can leave for the day” are generally indications of a negative response. So don’t hold on to hopes. But do not assume and leave the hall until told so, you never know what an interviewer is looking at. You might feel you have flunked the interview but he/she might pass you for the future rounds.

3] Wait for the offer
This is the most terrifying part of your process. Generally, an HR takes around a week to send you the salary slip after asking for collecting your documents. If they do not t back to you within a week you should drop an email but do not sound desperate as this might negatively impact your chances of getting the best fit for your aspirations

 4] Salary :
Look at all the components in a salary slip. The whole package might seem to be much but due to different claims and deductions, your in-hand salary might be pretty less. So focus on in-hand salary. You can negotiate with HR regarding salaries.

Note: the Counteroffer is not ethically wrong. If an organization gets someone with your talents in low pay they would hire them the same way candidates should look for his/her interest. (Purely my own opinion)

The Day I Lost A Person Full Of Unconditional Love - My Grandfather

It was the hardest day of my life. My heart sank to the stomach and I was at loss for words. All I could do was cry. It’s true when they say that a phone call can change your entire life in just seconds. 17 September 2019 - a day l will never forget. It was a day that my world became less bright, less fun, and less right. My heart ached. My vision blurred. The only thing going on in my mind was - I’ve never lived in a world where he didn’t exist. I’ve never lived in a world where he did not draw breath.          1 year has passed since then.   These days, I must learn how to overcome the kind of pain that all of us must go through: the death of someone we love.   I still remember, how he used to get me a khare shengdana every day after school. How he used to tell me stories before dinner. How he used to laugh on my lame jokes. And then I remember his body has now turned into ashes. That smile along with his photo has now ...

Forgive but don’t Forget

After every heartbreak, I ask myself - Revenge or Forgiveness? The answer to this is very simple - Forgive but don’t Forget! Now you would say - Easier said than done. You are right, forgiving someone is difficult especially if the heart was involved in it. But always remember, your past is your greatest teacher. It’s up to you to become its greatest student. To learn, you need to forgive without forgetting. Forgiving the person means letting go of the bitterness inside you. No matter how deeply you are hurt, you will heal. Always remember it's their loss, not yours. They lost someone who cared deeply for them, whereas you lost someone who was eventually going to hurt you. ( iss mein tera ghata mera kuch nahi jata :D ). Wish best for them and move on. I’m not saying you should not feel the hurt or mask it. Getting in touch with your emotions is a necessary step for healing. But once healed, let go of the person. Caging them in mind is going to increase your hurt or hatred, which...
