GMCS Dairies - Day 3 - 28th Nov 2012

Well the day was different but expectations and proceedings were already anticipated in advance and we were all already prepared as to how the day would go as the faculty would be same as yesterday, so with preconceived mindset the room was occupied with monotonous atmosphere, which was eased by adding flavor by our new found friends

The day begun by assessing of CV writing assignment on which we showed unity by not adhering to prepare CV...Well that’s how we guys display Unity...Ha-ha...And then we were imparted “gyaan” on do’s and don’ts while looking for and applying for the job. We were shown a clip which made us understand the nuances of doing our homework before and during the job hunting exercise. The process could be listed as:-

1. Research the job
2. Time to get clean.
3. Attention & appearance
4. Be punctual
5. First Impression
6.  Body Language
7. Listen
8. Maintain your professionalism
9.  References
10.  Exit Gracefully

The above points were made much more meaningful by showing us video clips and also by our mentor explaining how the above points should be understood and applied and also on what aspects we would be evaluated upon:

• Appearance
• Speech Mannerism
• Self Confidence
• Consistency
• Response time

After making us all go through the above areas which would lead us to the desk of the interviewer we were then acquainted with the questions which we would be bombarded upon by the interviewer. We were given an exhaustive list of 30 questions which the interviewer would grill us upon.

Also we were given a set of questions which we as an employee could ask depending on prevailing scenarios in an interview.

We were done with the day which clearly sent us a message that 80% of communication is non verbal (Gestures, Body Language). With all the learning imparted, we understood that we individuals will not only be judged on our technical ability basis but also on the basis of how we carry ourselves.

We would admit the fact that though bitter gourd is not nice in flavor but it surely is effective the same applied to our mentor also. She was clear cut in her approach and made us believe that “It only takes a little more effort and we would see ourselves beyond the horizon”

As all good things come to an end… the time spent with the mentor was captured in a photograph to make us remind that our body’s every part plays a important role in shaping our career and personality.

With twinkle in our eyes we left for the day to come back tomorrow for a whole hearted laugh with our new friends and also to nourish our knowledge…
