Job Interview:The first question.




When preparing for an interview alot of things come to your mind such as will you get the job,are your qualifications good,is your resume proper and for some even the clothes they are wearing is a big issue.But something which every candidate frets about are the questions they are going to face in that room.

Generally interviewers tend to draw a lot from the first impression of the candidate which is more based on the appearance but this shouldn't be a big issue as jobs are meant for smart people and as said 'looks can be deceptive' but yes you should be presentable enough.

After this come the questions and one famous first question is "can you tell me about yourself ?".Many candidates lose their confidence here which affects the whole interviewing session.But given a thought the question is justified as the interviewer really doesn't know anything about you and it also helps him/her to evaluate the candidate's communication skills,confidence and articulation skills and the answer of course.People generally answer the question with information about their education,place of living,family background,interests etc.These parameters are already mentioned in the resume and so its not really a good answer.The candidate should tell the interviewer other things which are not mentioned in the resume such as career objectives and goals.The answer must include the candidate's strengths,leadership skills,willingness to learn etc.The answer has not to be elaborate and pompous.The person should give some details as to how he is fit for the post applied.A good answer puts the candidate in better position and confident for the rest of the interview.A good thing to do would be that the candidate rights down an ideal and practices is well before an interview.And remember you won't find the answer anywhere else as its only about YOU!

Recently I have also posted about new types of questions(puzzles) asked in the interviews.Here they are.

Fight Kick Kill Depression!!

Image by:http://sleepguide.ning.com

First trick:
Get out of your head and into your feet
The body craves movement. Exercise really works. Let's not think of it as exercise though. Nothing is gnarlier to the depressed person than imagining him/herself at the gym in ill fitting sweats, panting on the stair master while svelte athletes are bopping around in all directions.

As Woody Allen says, 90% of success is showing up. Once we've got our walking shoes on, once we get endorphins cooking, the doldrums have less power to penetrate .

Second trick:
Turn on music! Now!
I recommend that my clients have an arsenal of inspiring and fun music at their fingertips.
I have even been known to make CD's for my clients. When we're depressed, the smallest task feels overwhelming. . If I can kick-start someone's joy, then I am thrilled.

Third trick:
Turn on the light and sit in the sun.
Many of us work in windowless cubicles or offices, and wonder why we feel blue.

This time of year, when the sun sets earlier, we must 's dark out in autumn and winter, get a light, get some sun, get some more sun. And if there is no sun in your world, then buy a full-spectrum light. Get one cheap on E-bay.

Fourth trick:
Hang out with 4-leggeds. (Unless of course, you're allergic)
Having an animal companion near can instantly relaease oxytocin, that magical hormone that we secrete when we fall in love, give birth, or are nursing. It releases a feeling of goodwill, or trust in the world.
OK, so not all of all are blessed to be in love all the time, or be breast feeding, so I recommend my clients find other ways to bring on the joy chemical. Read on.

Fifth trick:
Change your thoughts. Right now.
We have around 60,000.00 thoughts per day. 87% of them are negative and are the same thoughts we had yesterday.

Experiencing joy is a deliberate choice. Joy takes practice. Joy is hardcore.
I use realistic affirmations, which, at times are posted all over my room. Notice I said realistic.

We must remember that affirmations don't make something happen, they make something welcome.
People tell me, "I put an affirmation up on my bedroom wall, saying:"I am ready to meet a gorgeous, successful, charming man who will adore and worship me." It's been 3 months. Where is he?" I tell them; "You have made yourself more open to meeting this human. Finding him is another story. Sorry."

Sixth Trick:
Follow a joyous lifestyle. Choose joyous entertainment.
find a class, a workout, anything that gets you in your body, preferably sweating a bit.

Seventh Trick:
Affirm joy with words.
Rudyard Kipling said "I am by calling a dealer in words. And words are by far the most powerful drug in the world". It may seem trite, but changing the way we speak can be extremely influential in changing our moods.

Eighth Trick:
Grab hold of a goal.
Make it a do-able one. Happiness and joy come from goals. We mustn't put off our lives.

Ninth Trick:
Cultivate a relationship with the divine.
We are whom our higher self wanted to experience.
There is some truth to the pithy phrase: There's no aetheists in foxholes.
Have a smidgens of faith and the world can be a gentler space.

Tenth Trick:
Choose joyous companions.
When we are depressed, we take our bored, sluggish selves wherever we go. We need distractions. We need company. We need intimacy. It is very important to be around authentic people. We need someone who believes in us. No nay-sayers!

Stretch:Why to ?,when to ?,how to ?

Stretching is a must, pre and post workout. It improves flexibility, reduces chances of physical injury and gears you up for daily chores. Most importantly it improves muscle balance around a joint, helping you build a correct posture.

Stretch 1 (3-4 times)

A. Before you get out of you bed, bend you knees (towards the chest) while lying down. Pin your lower-back further into the bed, like opening your spine.

B. Relax and do the same with the back of your head.

Stretch 2 (4 times each)

While lying down, turn your head to the right and press the cheek on the pillow. Feel the slight pull of the left-side of the neck. Repeat with the other side.

Stretch 3 (5-6 times)

Lift yourself from the bed and sit at ease. Roll your shoulders forward six to seven times. Lift them up together, till the earlobes and hold for a few seconds. Now drop them in a jiffy. This will stretch neck and shoulder muscles.

Stretch 4 (5-6 times)

Stand upright with your legs a few inches away from each other. Take the right arm across your body. Hold it with the left hand and stretch well. Same for the left arm.

Stretch 5 (5-6 times)

Stand in front of a wall with one leg in front of the other (right leg forward). Place both palms on the wall and push yourself towards the wall. Feel the stretch in the left leg. Repeat with left leg in front.

Stretch 6 (5-6 times)

Stand straight and lift up your left knee. Hold your foot from behind with your left hand and pull the leg. Repeat with right leg.

Earning with adsense:Tips,Dos and Don'ts.

Google AdSense is probably the company that generates most profit in the world with through advertising, with Pay Per Click and by page impression. It is certainly an indispensable tool for those who want to make money online. You can generate thousands of dollars through this tool(per/hour,day,month,year). It takes time but the medium and long term can be a good profit generator. For this to happen it is necessary to adopt some strategies as proper ads placement.To make a better profit from AdSense you should follow some basic steps in the integration of ads as follow

1- Integrate the links of the ads in your template instead of making them “glow or dark”.

Adjust the colours of the ads link to the colour of your site. This ensures more clicks. By using different colours to highlight the links will make the reader automatically associate the links advertising or spam and will cause lost of interest on them.

2- Use the template "Large Rectangle (336X280)" it’s the format with higher CTR.

Some time ago I heard about this and I did an experiment on page articles, the fact is that little by little my AdSense earnings began to increase more significantly. Use it on individual pages and see your earnings go up.

3- Placement is crucial, no links at the bottom of the page.

Some people like to put ads on the bottom of the page in the footer area. This may devalue the clicks and is where the worst of the AdSense earnings are made. If you want ads on the bottom of the page suggest find a sponsor to pay for it and avoid using AdSense at the end of the page. The places where the ads work best are in the sidebar and near the headers.
Tip: While in terms of usability the sidebars should be in the right often a sidebar on the left generate more earnings. I wish that a reader did a study on this. What is the best location of the sidebar?

GOLDEN RULE:Try using high paying keywords since adsense show ads which are targeted to words on the page the adsense code is. refer:http://just-tips.blogspot.com/2008/11/adsense-highpaying-keywords-generator.html

4- Text links work best than images?

It is a question irrelevant. The most experienced users are tired of navigating a site with pictures to affiliates, soon become automatic link an image to advertising and from this point they avoid clicking on the image. Text links, integrated into the colour scheme of the site, links appear to be normal and are no longer associated with bad advertising.

5- Create proper channels.

AdSense allows creating channels to better analyze the ads in your site. Many people pass this step and give no importance. With the help of channels you can know the placement of ads that is working better. You can rethink strategies to better monetize and know the spaces that generate less profit. Performance is important.
Take some time to optimize the ads, try a different placement, and talk with others on strategies that work best. If you are interested in doing studies with AdSense I suggest intervals of 3 to 4 weeks to try different placements and different ads. Don’t forget to leave a comment here...
