Technical White Paper Presentation- How to make yours stand out among others?

2011-03-05T20:30:00.000+05:30

Writing a Technical white paper is an art. You need to follow certain rules, maintain certain dos and don’ts when writing a Technical white paper for presentation.

Give a catchy title

Innovations are being made everyday, and thousands of Technical white papers are published. If you want your Technical white paper to be considered better than others, you have to make it appealing to the reviewers/judges.

Title, is something that lures prospective reviewers/judges into opening your white paper. Hence, it is imperative to give a suitable and eye catching title.

Make the title self explanatory, so the reader knows what to expect in the paper. Your title should also be effective, in separating your ideas from the rest.

Engage your Audience

Always remember; you are writing the Technical white paper for a certain audience. You, have to first know who these audiences are, and what they are expecting.

You have to engage all your readers equally, by making your white paper empathetic. Make a brief description of the problems faced and how it can be easily resolved using your ideas. Then, proceed to give the technical details.

You can also detail some parts of the technical aspects in points. This makes the Technical white paper look short, but complete. You would have all the readers read the white paper, till the end.

A Technical white paper, written in such a manner is successful in proving three points to the readers.

1. You understand the customers’ problems.

2. A good description of your technology.

3. Gives enough explanation, as to how your product is the best.

Content

Your content has to be short and brief. A brief, but targeted description would suffice and be read completely.

Organize your content neatly, making clear subdivisions and paragraphs so that one paragraph opens into the next.

You may follow the traditional formula to tell your readers what they are going to read and, explaining the product, and repeat what you have already explained.

Format

There are standard formats to write Technical white papers. You have to follow these to make your white paper more effective and readable by scholars and other academicians, who may have influence in the propagation.

Introduction – this has to be a concise and not more than one or two paragraph. You have to briefly explain about your product or technology. Remember, there are people who would just read the introduction to know about the entire contents.

The problem faced – Give an overview of the problem faced.

How your product solves it – explain what your product does to solve their problem.

Show off your product - give the technological explanations here.

Conclusion – briefly, repeat all that you have already explained.

Use Real Examples

Make your examples speak on their own, by presenting how companies and people can be benefited from your technology. Your product would sound more real and worthy, when projected in this manner.

Use Charts and Graphs

Break the monotony of your Technical white paper by including charts and graphs wherever necessary.

Writing a good Technical white paper is not an easy task, but can be learnt and excelled with practice. You need to have a deep understanding of the product and its technology so that you can convince the readers.

File Sharing Sites and Torrents

2011-02-15T15:23:00.000+05:30

Today, life has become too easy; you can watch any movie (new or old), listen to any song or read a book just in a few clicks on your mouse. Torrents and file sharing sites have become the most normal things of day to day life and provide access to anything under the sun.

File Sharing sites and torrent are useful in more than one way which pave way for you to share notes, books, music, videos, pictures and even movies. Students are the most benefited people with the help of these sites. There is no need to run around searching from one shop to another for a particular book. Just a simple search for them on the relevant torrent or file sharing site and you get them.

Torrents Vs File Sharing Sites

The two most common forms of large sized file sharing today is the popular bit torrent and the other less familiar file sharing sites such as the Rapidshare, Megaupload, Megashare, Netload and so on.

The bit torrent is more popular and dominant form than the file sharing sites, mainly due to the speed and certain misconceptions of file sharing sites. However, file sharing sites have better history and have been around for a longer period of time than the torrents.

File sharing sites are more constant where the bit torrents are prone to changes such as protocol and other features. A recent speculation has thus placed file sharing sites higher than the torrent sites in regards to the method of file sharing.

File sharing sites are better than bit torrents in means of speed, redundancy, connection, and also uploading.

Sharing a file using Torrents

File sharing from one peer to another basically began with the emergence of torrents. Torrent is a type of file sharing protocol that is specialized in downloading large files. The coding in torrent enables in easy downloading of very large files.

How it works

A torrent begins when it is first uploaded. This user (who first uploads) is the seed. People can now download from the seeder. Once he completes downloading, he also joins the list of seeders. As more people begin sharing the file the initial bandwidth of the seed reduces. Parts of the files can also be downloaded from peers.

However, it is not necessary for a downloader to seed. When users do not continue to seed, the speed of downloading may reduce leading to complications, sometimes you may be stuck up with partial downloading of a file and so on.

General types of File sharing and torrent sites include e-books, audio books, music, videos, photos etc.

There are a number of resources on the internet to find e-books and audio-books for free. Some of them are given below

www.mininova.org – this site has a large collection of e-books and audio books. Around 15,500 e-books are available for free download consisting of various categories. Very useful site for those interested in general reading and educational e-books too. Some other similar websites are btjunkie.org, www.torrentreactor.net, www.torrentportal.com, www.fulldls.com, www.fulldls.com.

eBooks and Images

Some of the more popular sites that enable downloading e-books are FreeBookSpot, 4eBooks, Free-eBooks, ManyBooks, GetFreeEBooks and so on.

There are also torrent sites that enable video sharing such as Eyespot, Google Video, and Grouper and so on.

Websites that help to share photos and pictures are Flickr, Get 2 Use, ShareFile, Photobucket, ImageShack and others

Audio books

ABTorrents, Bibliotik, Cattorrent, MyAnonamouse etc are sites that provide access to downloadable audio e-books.

Although there are numerous sites that provide access to genuine downloads, pirates and people uploading others’ works are also present here. You have to take enough care to choose between the genuine and pirated copies of material you want to download.

It has to be however kept in mind that torrent downloads are easily traceable and pirated downloads can lead to unwanted consequences.

Sharing and downloading of copyrighted materials from file sharing sites is strictly against law and you are fully responsible for further consequences. Hence, use these file sharing sites for sharing/downloading your own or friends materials rather than copyrighted materials.

MATLAB Projects

2011-02-08T22:13:00.001+05:30

Among the various programming languages, MATLAB is one of the best for industry automation and problem solving. It provides an interactive environment that enables you to easily develop algorithm, visualize data, and also for numerical computation.

You can solve technical computing problems quickly and easily. It takes less time than with other traditional programming languages such as the C, C++ and FORTRAN etc.

Applications of MATLAB

MATLAB can be used quite extensively. Some of its applications include signal and image processing, communication, control design, financial modeling and analysis, computational biology, and test and measurement.

MATLAB also provides add-on toolboxes which are basically a collection of special purpose functions, which extends special environment to solve problems included in a particular class of applications.

Features of MATLAB

MATLAB provides a number of features that help you in documenting and sharing your work.

Integration of MATLAB code with other languages and applications is possible and quite simple to perform. You could also distribute MATLAB algorithms and applications easily.

Some of the key features of MATLAB include

· Language that is of high level to perform technical computing.

How to Write a Career Summary and Achievements in Your Resume

2011-02-05T13:12:00.000+05:30

Competition in every field for jobs has become so high and the recruiters are very busy that it has become a necessity to show some sort of edge in your resume that would make you noticed in a large pool of equally talented people.

If you are a fresher, then your job hunt becomes even more difficult, because of the increase in number of freshers who pass out every day. Get a job is very difficult in off-campus than in on-campus.

Getting noticed among thousands is an essential part and begins with writing an attractive career summary. The target here is to create a compulsive and irresistible introduction that is packed with your exemplary skills, achievements and abilities related to the job you apply to.

Make the career summary into a condensed content of around a hundred words so that your recruiter need not spend too much time to know about you.

Here are some tips to make an engaging career summary.

1. Find your ideal job

Make a thorough study of the direction in which you want your career to travel. This is the first step towards your future and makes the foundation of your entire future career; hence a clear decision is needed.

When you narrow down your search, your target audience becomes less. Thus it becomes easier to convey your capability better.

2. Place the career summary in the beginning

When you put the career summary where your recruiters eyes would fall first, the chance of your resume being picked up from a pile of resumes stacked together becomes more.

Most recruiters would browse your resume for just a few seconds. These 10 to 15 seconds decide whether your resume would be read further or fail completely.

That is why it is important for you to place your best points in the beginning of your resume.

3. Don’t go overboard with adjectives

Do not add too many adjectives to your skills. This may act as a turn off rather than attracting the reader. Simple words such as highly motivated, accomplished or award winning compel your readers to read further than complicated adjectives.

4. Tell how the company would benefit from your expertise

Convey in subtle words what you can do to bring about a positive development to the company. This not only shows off your talent but also makes a statement of the research you have conducted about the company out of your own interest.

This would naturally add value to your credentials.

5. Focus on the job you are applying for

When writing objectives, always target on a single goal. This gives you space to specify your skills in the required field in a broader and compulsive manner.

You can use bullet points of your key skills highlighting them so that they catch the attention of your recruiters easily.

6. Edit, re-edit and proofread

This is the most vital part of any resume. Any number of skills or years of experience when presented with spelling errors, gives a wrong impression of your nature to attend to details.

This would naturally affect your appointment. Hence, always make sure to check for typo errors after getting the resume typed. You can ask a friend to check for you so that the minor mistakes that you might have overlooked too may be corrected.

Get the printout in good quality paper typed professionally so that you may not have to face any kind of disappointment or embarrassment at any point of time. Use laser printers rather than ink jet or dot matrix printers.

Always remember, your resume is going to represent you to your prospective employers, it can make or break your career. A well written career summary would be very effective in engaging the readers further and try to know about your complete profile.

Inspirational Success Stories - Zero to Hero

2011-02-01T22:10:00.000+05:30

Dreaming of becoming someone great is one thing but planning, executing and achieving what one dreamt is a completely different thing.

Every person has a dream but not all of them succeed in accomplishing what he dreams; only those with a strong commitment and passion towards what they dream achieve them.

Here are some examples of such great people who have paved a path for themselves and reached great heights walking in them without looking back.

Bill Gates

Fifteen years ago a young Harvard drop out made history through his expertise in computer software. Yes! It is none other than Bill Gates.

Born in an affluent family, Bill Gates showed excellence in his early school days itself and breezed through schooling to get a Bachelor’s degree in Harvard. It was here that he met his future business partner Steve Ballmer.

Being a part of the team that wrote Altair BASIC for Altair 8800 was the turning point for Bill Gates. He gained so much confidence in his programming skills that he dropped out of college and got in touch with MITS or Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems.

He was just half way in his venture of developing a new version of programming BASIC for the microcomputer platform, but informed them that the work was complete and bargained for a huge price.

This is where luck played its role in Bill Gates life to make him the world’s richest person; he got a very high price and also completed programming the new version in a week’s time from the day he called.

Bill Gates success is a clear illustration that shows that self confidence when combined with hard work never fails.

Mark Zukerberg

Well, for people who sought inspiration from their own generation Bill Gates’ story might seem history. However, the success story of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of this era’s most famous social network Facebook, would make all the difference.

This 26 year Harvard graduate who revolutionized social networking hails from an educated family. Mark showed interest towards computer programming from his childhood days especially in connecting people and gaming.

His passion towards socializing and bringing people into each other’s social circle grew and led to the bringing up of a protocol program that was similar to the present Facebook. It worked well with students in Harvard University.

Slowly the facebook as it was initially called became prominent among student community and with time grew to such a huge presence that it handles the complete advertising of Microsoft. Now the 26 year old computing geek is one of the most famous persons in the world.

These two are not the only people whom you could get inspiration from; there are hundreds of other people around the world who have arisen to Himalayan heights from ashes. These people do not have any new power or magical wand to bring their dreams to life; everything lies in hard work and dedication in what they do.

Every person has the capability to do what he wants but the right choice and passion is what makes successful people emerge victorious against all odds.

Some of the famous college dropout billionaires are as follows.

1. Bill Gates - Microsoft Founder - US

2. Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook Founder- US

3. Mukesh Ambani - Reliance Group - India

4. Lawrence Ellison - Oracle - US

5. Eike Batista – EBX Group - Brazil

6. Steve Jobs - Apple Inc –US

7. Michael Dell - Dell Inc - US

8. Marc Rich - Commodities Trader - US

9. Ty Warner - Ty Inc - US

10. Gautam Adani – Adani Group – India

Difference between CV, Resume and Cover Letter

2010-12-14T14:24:00.000+05:30

For most of you, a CV and a Resume typically mean different names of the same version but sent to people or companies belonging to different countries namely US and Britain.

Trying to find the relationship between a Resume and CV is one thing, but relating these two to Cover Letter is a completely diversified subject.

Both Resume and CV give an account of a person’s qualifications and his achievements, but the cover letter is a short description of what to expect in the resume or CV and perfect reasons as to why you are applying to the job.

Hence, understanding how Resume, CV and Cover letter are different from another and also how to effectively write them so that your prospective employer would want to read ahead, is very important.

Some critical differences

Length

A CV or the curriculum vitae basically means “course of life”. As the meaning, it is a detailed description of your history of educational and employment that is completely updated. It is a long document having at least two pages.

On the other hand, the Resume is shorter and consists of a single page. Here you are required to give a focused account of your skill and talent that are required for that particular job. You can mention your experience in the relevant field.

Purpose

The purpose of CV is to give a detailed account of your educational achievements, qualifications, awards received, scholarships and experience in the required field. A CV is particularly used when a post doctoral position or teaching position is sought.

A Resume is used to highlight briefly on your talents that are transferable to the intended company and show how useful you would be to the future growth of the company. Thus no details are expected here.

Though CVs are common form of job application, people in US always prefer a Resume.

CVs are more descriptive whereas Resumes are self promoting in nature.

CV sections

A CV usually is sectioned under separate subheadings such as objective, educational qualifications, skills, awards/ medals won and career summary etc.

You can present the information in bullet points or tables, so that your prospective employer may get an idea of what you want to highlight.

Resume sections

A Resume can also be sectioned just as in CVs, however all the information is not required. Depending on the type of Resume you may change the information provided.

A Functional Resume should highlight your skills and qualifications. A Chronological Resume is concise form of CV and a Targeted Resume gives specific information that is required for the job you are applying.

Cover Letter

A Cover Letter basically is a formal letter that is presented as a prelude to CV or Resume which briefly but effectively gives an insight of what can be expected inside.

Writing an efficient and catchy Cover Letter is very crucial because it has the capacity to decide the fate of your application and thereby your fate.

Some important points that you have to keep in mind while writing a cover letter are

· Keep your Cover Letter Linked to your CV. This provokes enough interest in your prospective employer to read the CV thoroughly.

· Make the letter sound as if you are personally speaking. Address the person to whom you intend to send the CV, giving a personal and emotional touch.

· The letter should be brief giving a crisp description.

· The person reading the letter does not expect any excess pompous information about you. Too much “I: factor could turn them down.

· Most Important –DO NOT MAKE TYPO AND GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. This would surely spoil your image.

Though basically CVs and Resumes mean and give the same information, they are quite different from one another. Choosing the right form of your personal information you have to present on specific occasion gives you better chance of getting the intended job.

A well crafted cover letter along with a neatly thought out and written CV or Resume gives better chances of success to you.

How To Prepare a Project Report

2010-10-27T22:12:00.003+05:30

Report writing is one of the primary objects of any student who are in the threshold of completing their graduation. It is to be noted that the final report is not to be done for sheer formality. This report acts as a tool for judging the professional skill of the new engineer. It is also considered to be an extended service for the engineering students who might require information. Remember this report will be subjected to critical analysis by many readers.

Hence to prepare the final report, an engineering graduate must have good knowledge about the practical skills that will be required to solve an engineering problem. All sorts of resources must be compiled to create a report. Experimenting by using the lab, analyzing the theories, observation, details with regard to how to use the equipments, and work experience with others. The most important aspect is one must have a good flair for writing and ideas must be well communicated and the information should be authentic.

There are structural guidelines that one needs to follow while preparing a project report for final year engineering. This format is applicable to all types of students.

Title Page

The following details must be given

· Title

· Authors full name

· Discipline and degree

· Appropriate industrial and other collaboration

· Month and year of submission

It is important that this page will not show any page number

Abstract

Here one has to pint out the main ideas of what the project is about, how it was visualized, and what has been achieved. All this must fit into one page.

Content List

Here one must give a complete list of what the report will contain including the abstract. Make sure that the title page is not included in this list. Here you will be providing chapter wise list.

List of Tables/Figures

A list of tables and figures must be provided if the report contains tables/figures. The list must include table/figure number, title of the table/figure and also page number. These must be numbered sequential throughout the document. The table/figure must highlight clearly the points you are making. Fit the contents of the table within a page. Use a smaller font if necessary or place it in a landscape mode.

Acknowledgements

It is normal to thank all the people who have helped you and provided support. It could be your guide/supervisor. Acknowledgements should be short and business like.

Background.

This area deals with the subject area of the project.

· Chapter 1 : Background

Appendices

This has to be numbered sequentially with Appendix 1. Numbering of pages will include appendices.

References and Bibliography

Usually a number of reference materials will be used in a report. The use of source material should be explicit in the report. Every item mentioned in the report must have an entry in the reference list. There are many styles that are followed like APA etc. It follows a sequential order

Books

Title of the book, name of the author, year of publication, and name of the publishers can be included.

Journal

Author(s) name, year of publication, title of the article, name of the journal, volume, year of publication and page numbers can be included.

Website

Do not specify as Google/Yahoo. Specify the exact url of the website rather than specifying the top level domain like www.xyz.com

Instead specify as www.xyz.com/abc.html

The above is the basic structure of a report. There are hard fast rules one must apply when writing the report. Some are discussed below:

Formatting of the report

Please use Microsoft Word so that all information that is explained will have good looks as these help you to avoid rearrangements. Also make sure that the document is Word 2003 compatible.

Length

Basically there are no hard fast rules and the length can vary from person to person depending on the project. It is advisable for an engineering report to have around 100 pages. These will include tables and appendices.

Language of Report

Report must be written in English as this is considered to be consistent form. Certain grammar rules needs to be followed

Apostrophes: This is the most common mistakes all students make. In English language the apostrophes is used as a contraction. In an academic writing the words must be written in its full form and words should not be shortened.

Acronyms:

Science and engineering fields use lot of acronyms and will be familiar only to specialists who are familiar with the subjects. When using it for first time always give it the expanded version.

Colloquialisms:

Avoid usage of slang, phrases, idiomatic and chatty expressions while writing a report. In an academic or technical writing avoid using the first person ‘I’ as much as possible and also do not refer to the reader as ‘you’

Grammar:

Make your sentences small and write it as whole sentences. Proofread your writing every 3-4 hours so that you will be able understand the text as it was to be meant. Ensure that the writing is clear and it follows the basic grammar rules.

Jargon:

Be consistent while using technical terms. Please define and use the same words when you are writing about the same concept.

Spelling:

There are no excuses for spelling mistakes. It creates a bad impression. Take the help of spell checker or dictionary. Spell checker will not be useful if the words spelt are correct ex. ‘from’ or ‘form’ Hence a manual spell check is advisable to ensure the correct word fits into the sentences. Hence proof reading is always suggested.

Typeface and Font Size

Times New Roman typeface and font size of 12-point should be used throughout the report except for Appendices. Italics should only be used sparingly for emphasis.

Paper

High quality 80gm A4 size paper shall be used. The paper should be white in colour, acid free and non-erasable kind.

Printing

Printing has to be done on one side only. It is recommended to use a laser or ink jet printer. Avoid dot matrix printers.

Corrections

Corrections of typographical errors, or changes in the text, figures, or tables, must be made as cleanly and invisibly as possible. Do not use Correction fluid. Corrections should be made on the original word document before printing the problem page.

Margins

The margin on the document must measure according to the following specifications:

Top : 25mm

Bottom : 20mm

Left : 20mm

Right : 20mm

Spacing/Justification

Text should be typed, one and a half-spaced, left-right justified on one side of the paper only. For captions of figures and tables, single spacing can be used.

Pagination

Page numbers are to be placed at least 15 mm from the edge of the page at the bottom centre of the page. Every page except the title page must be numbered.

Title page is 'i' but is not numbered. Preliminary pages are to be numbered in lower case Roman numerals (ii, iii, iv etc).

The main text pages are to be numbered in numerals and all pages must be numbered consecutively and continuously.

Header

A header should be included at the top of each page from the title page. It will include candidate’s name, qualification sought and calendar year.

Paragraph

This should be separated by a single blank line.

Citations

Whenever more than 30 words are quoted from other person’s work the authors name should appear in the references. When small words are quoted, these can be written within quotation marks.

Plagiarism

This should be avoided at any cost. Try to use the content of the subject matter but do not copy word to word. Words and sentences can be rephrased and written. This can lead to serious trouble and it will be treated as an offence as many come under the copyright category.

Hence it is to be noted that report writing is an art by itself and one has to follow the normal procedures.

Information Technology ( IT ) Mini Projects - Tips and Latest Trends

2010-07-25T17:13:00.001+05:30

The wide range of information, data, and knowledge for problem solving and decision making are dealt with Information Technology. Demanding needs of users has always been fulfilled by Information Technology with establishing trends. Before starting with the projects, students should be aware of authentication, and integrity features in their projects. Breaking of passwords and hacking can be avoided using these techniques. Anyhow, the various trends for projects are based on the emerging software technology.

Flash Technology

To add multiple types of external data to the given text, images, video, XML and to interact with web pages, Adobe Flash is used. It provides multimedia platform. The main purpose of this technology is to be used in advertisements and games. Both audio and video streams are supported by flash. One of the Object-oriented languages called ActionScript is the language used here by the developers. Flash player includes ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM). The compiler, Just-In-Time (JIT), is used for MP3-based audio and bitmap graphics. Flash CS5 is the latest version of Adobe flash which was released on April 12, 2010.

Microsoft Silverlight

Microsoft Silverlight is developed on web framework and is similar to the functions of those in Adobe Flash. In addition, it also integrates multimedia graphics and interaction with a single runtime environment. Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and its development tools are supported by Silverlight. The processor x86 with streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) is used by Silverlight. Also the other processors which support Silverlight include the Intel Pentium III and AMD Athlon XP. Any of the .Net Programming language is supported for Silverlight applications. The developing tools for the application can be used along with the .Net language but should be aware that they can target only the Silverlight core CLR for hosting the applications and not that of the .Net Framework CLR since both differs in their own functionalities. 4GDR1 (4.0.50524.0) is the latest version of Silverlight and was released on 03 June 2010

Open Source Software

Open source software is newly emerging trend which is one of the best options for the students. The source code can be modified by the students as per the objective of project. Hence Open source is much flexible than closed version software. Open source software is mainly developed on peer to peer production by collaboration of end product, source material. Open source software can be enhanced by anyone and if you join some open source developers community, you can learn a lot of things directly from the most knowledged persons in the developers community. Even the top companies like Google who are paymasters gives lots of importance to candidates who have worked in open source projects during the interviews.

http://sourceforge.net is one of the biggest open source community and you can engage in one of the groups or even start a new project.

Cryptography

Cryptography is the practice and study of hiding information. It also refers to confidentiality. It is often seen as a “black art”, which means something others don’t understand but you need to understand. Cryptography is one of the essential aspects for secure communication. There are many aspects of security and applications ranging from secure commerce to private communication and to protect passwords. Cryptography is necessary for secure communication but it is not sufficient by itself. Here, the text is encrypted first; i.e the plain text is changed to inarticulate garbage. The end user does the reverse process i.e decryption, where the original text is retrieved. There are a lot of algorithms in this area which is used in real time for data protection in sectors like banks, Research, Password Protection and so on.

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the study of controlling properties of an atom and molecules. As the name indicates, it deals with the study of structures sized between 1 and 100 nanometer. It is said that, nanotechnology has a tendency to create new materials and devices which can be used in future in a wide range of fields such as medicine, energy production, electronics and bio materials. As they are very small in size, nano structures have a tendency to change its state for transformation of energy. The two main approaches used in nanotechnology are Bottom-up and Top-down. In bottom-up approach, materials and devices are built from molecular, a component which later assemble themselves chemically and follows the principles of molecular recognition. In top-down approach, nano-objects are constructed from larger entities without any atomic level control. Biotechnology is the best example to show the use of nanotechnology in various fields.

Conclusion

The upcoming trends mainly focus on security and hacking. Mobile application for iPhone and Android are great areas to explore with good revenue opportunities as well. If you want to stand out from others, instead of going for some courses, try to contribute for an open source project.

Interview Tips and Placement Tips For Freshers

2010-07-25T16:04:00.001+05:30

The most anticipated dream of every fresh graduate is to get into a job. An excellent first job will make way for a rewarding career. A systematic approach is needed to get you into your dream job. Here are some tips to stand out from the rest during interviews or campus placements.

Pre-preparative phase

Running around at the last moment in order to prepare for an interview is not a wise decision. You need to prepare well in advance. Start by making an impressive resume. Browse the net and go through a few outstanding resumes. Try to grab some knowledge on what makes those resumes outstanding. Make a clean layout of your resume. Keep away from colours and decorative fonts. Don’t use too many unnecessary words. Too much wordiness will spoil your resume quality. Chart out all your achievements, abilities and outstanding qualities. Highlight your curricular and extra curricular abilities in catchy words. For example, ‘Was the topper of my whole graduate class’, could be written as ‘Topped my class in graduate level’. Keep it an important point to add things about you that will make an interviewer to decide about you. When you write about the internships, trainings and projects that you have done, describe your contribution in it. Make it a point to write each and every point in one single sentence. As said earlier, cluttering words will render the quality of your resume bad. Throw light on the extracurricular activities where you have outranked. Initially make a rough draft. You can sharpen it further by making a reliable professional in your field like your lecturer or your Training and Placement Officer (TPO) to read it and make constructive changes in it. You can also make some more well wishers read and make suggestions to incorporate. If you some someone who is working in big corporate, don’t forget to ask their suggestions as well.

Keep in touch with your Training and Placement Officer. Collect information about the companies that are going to visit your college for campus interviews. Try to know more info on the role of these companies and their process of selection. Keep abreast of all the training and placement cell info.

Preparative phase

Prepare for the interview. Start by reading materials over the internet about interviews. You can make a collection of common questions asked at interviews and prepare answers for those.
Try and study about yourself. Recall incidents till now and reflect on them –the things that excited you the most, the happenings you felt good about, the events that made you unhappy, etc. This will give you a study on yourself. You need to know about yourself first, only then can you tell someone else about you.
List your strengths and weaknesses, long term and short term goals, skills, motivations, career interests, etc from interview point of view. This kind of listing will make you answer promptly when you are asked about your abilities, disabilities, etc. If you take time to answer when are questioned, your reliability will be doubted by the interviewer. So will be the case if you blurt out a badly constructed answer. When you give clear and quick answers to such questions, your good decision making ability will be revealed and you will be rewarded suitably.
Seek the help of your well placed senior friends who are your well wishers. Ask them if the answers that you have prepared for the list of questions are acceptable.
Prepare for written tests. The problem with some graduates is that they perform well in all other parts of the interview except the written test. So prepare well. Practice writing on a paper whatever you have read. This will help greatly in verbalising your knowledge and in managing your time. Doing well in the written test will greatly help you getting the job offer.
Get prior information on who is visiting your campus and get acquainted with the info of their company in terms of their business, man power, etc. Knowing the interviewing firm will also help you in determining the kind of questions that you will be asked. In case, you cannot make out on what would be asked, be well prepared on a few of your favourite subjects. Some firms would want to know how good your knowledge on your own favourite field is.
Practice group discussions with bright fellow students. You may collect some tips by browsing on how to perform well in GDs. Learn tactics so that you can insist your ideas firmly but without being aggressive. Also make it a point not to be too meekly while you put up your ideas. Practice makes perfection. So practice well to strike a perfect balance of the above said parameters.
Also, develop good knowledge of facts and know about recent happenings. Watching daily news, reading newspapers and magazines, etc will help you have a sound awareness of current happenings.
Collect more information about the company where you are going to attend the interview. When you have well furnished details of the company, and you say you want to work there, it reveals that you are really interested. Browse the net to know details of the company’s location, history, goals, changes, products or services, major news in the past few months, etc. You will get less number of technical questions if you divert the interviewer by speaking more about the company.
Dress right for the interview. Both for men and women, the best dress code for an interview is being conservative and formal. Avoid decorative and fancy stuff. Brush your hair and wear only a light make up. Look clean, fresh and impressive.
Collect all your educational and extracurricular certificates and neatly arrange them in a file and take them with you for the interview. It would be better if you hold the file in your hands. Present it to the interviewer when you are asked to.
Be confident and look confident. Don’t utter words of disbelief to your friends or colleagues at the interview site. Avoid words like “I don’t think I will make it this time”, “I’m not sure”, etc. If you don’t want to say you did well, then keep quiet. You need not say anything at all.
