How to Answer the Four Most Common Interview Questions

There are some questions that tend to pop up during almost every job interview.
The bad news: These questions can be quite difficult to answer.

The good news: Because they are so common, you can prepare for them well in advance and give a perfect answer without breaking a sweat.


1. "Tell Me a Little About Yourself"

Sometimes the most general question can be the hardest. How can you sum up your entire life story in
just a couple of minutes?

You don't.

This oldest of questions is not an invitation to talk about your difficult childhood, your favorite
grandmother or how you won the state swim competition in high school. Instead, it's a request for you to
describe what you can offer the company.

In his excellent book 101 Great Answers to the
Toughest Interview Questions, author Ron Fry suggests
focusing on:

Your key accomplishments at previous jobs.The strengths demonstrated by those accomplishments.
How these relate to the job for which you're applying.

The goal is not to summarize your resume -- the interviewer already has a copy of that. Rather, tell
how you came to be interested in this particular company and job, and weave examples of past
accomplishments throughout to demonstrate why you are the perfect candidate.

2. "Why Did You Leave Your Last Job?"

Did you resign? Get laid off? Get fired? Storm out of the office in a huff, never to return? Chances are,
you'll have to explain it in an interview.

The most important point to remember when answering
this question: STAY POSITIVE.

The biggest sign of a troublemaker is when someone trashes his or her former boss or company during an
interview. It doesn't matter if your boss was a jerk or if you hated your coworkers -- an interview is not
the place to vent past frustrations.

Rather, the best way to answer this question is to stay positive and talk about your desire for growth
opportunities. This will paint you as a proactive employee who enjoys responsibility and challenges.

Here are some quick pointers for answering this question, depending on your circumstances:

IF YOU WERE FIRED: Be honest, but quick about explaining it. Don't get into the political details;
rather, explain what you learned from the experience and how it makes you an even stronger employee today.
It's not a good idea to lie about your termination.When the interviewer calls your references, he or she
will most likely find out you were fired anyway. So be honest, and explain what you learned.


IF YOU WERE LAID OFF: This is not nearly as taboo as it was even five years ago, so don't apologize or act
defeated. If a company goes bankrupt or had massive layoffs, simply explain, "Because of the economy, the
company decided to eliminate six departments, including mine."


IF YOU QUIT: Again, be honest and stay positive. State that the work being offered wasn't challenging enough,
that you are seeking higher levels of responsibility or simply that you are ready to make the next step on
your career ladder -- and that the job for which you are interviewing is the ideal next step.

The secret is to stay positive and discuss your desire for growth. Hiring managers love applicants who
actively seek responsibility.

3. "What's Your Biggest Weakness?"

What are you supposed to do -- tell them why they SHOULDN'T hire you?

The "weakness" question is popular with interviewers not because they want to torture you, but because
they're interested in hearing how you tackle challenges.

The most important thing to remember is that after you name your weakness, you MUST discuss what you have
done to overcome it.

Pick a weakness that is real but understandable or relatively harmless. Whatever weakness you pick, be
sure that it is work-related ("I have a tendency to overfeed my dog" is NOT an appropriate weakness) and
that you present the strategies for how you overcame it.

Here are a few examples:

"I used to have a tendency to procrastinate. So now I am always sure to set a strict schedule for all of my
projects well in advance and I set personal deadlines. This organization has really helped."


"Once in a while, I focus too much on the details of a project. So now, when I'm working on a project, I
always make sure at the end of the day to sit back and take a few minutes to think about the general scope of
my work. It forces me to keep priorities straight and helps me keep the right mindset."



"I used to have some problems with organization. So now I carry a schedule book around throughout the day
and I also use this Palm Pilot to keep me on track. It's worked out great!" You don't want to pick a weakness
that will torpedo your chances -- even your weakness should speak strongly toward your skills. The examples
above all address honest weaknesses; here are a few other "safe" weaknesses that are easy to discuss:

I tend to be a perfectionist.
I sometimes work too hard, leading to unnecessary stress.

4. "Do You Have Any Questions for Me?"

Yes, you do.

You should always try to ask a thoughtful question or two at the end of an interview. It shows that you've
been listening and that you've done your research on the company.

What should you ask? In his book 101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions, Ron Frey suggests
some of the following queries:

Does this job usually lead to other positions at the company? What kind of positions?


What do you like best about this company? Why? DO NOT ask about salary, vacation days, benefits or
anything else that would make it look like you're more interested in the compensation package than the
company. Also, don't ask too many questions; just a couple will be fine.

And the most important question of all: Don't forget to ask for the job!

I'm very interested in this job. It's exactly the kind of job that I'm looking for. What is the next step in
the interview process?

Hope These things will be helpful to you.

Stroke - Not A Story

The below message is a beautiful piece of medical fact.The points given here are 100% true.It might take u 2 mins to read the entire passage but it is really worth it.

So plzzzzz go thro'. It might help u sometime.


Health - Recognizing a stroke!

Maybe you are in perfect Health to bother about this. But then, you may have an opportunity to save a family member, friend or stranger.

During a outdoor dinner at a seaside resort near Chennai, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Lakshmi (name changed) went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Her husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm, Lakshmi passed away). She had suffered a stroke at the dinner- had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Lakshmi would be alive today.

It only takes a minute to read this:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and getting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough. There is nothing more life saving than getting the patient to the hospital in the FIRST ONE HOUR! The Golden
Hour it is now known as to Doctors and emergency attendents alike!

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.

2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today).

If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call emergency immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.

Four Management Lessons..

CASE 1:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you
and do nothing all day long?
The crow answered: "Sure, why not." so, the rabbit sat on the ground
below the crow, and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Learning:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high
up.

************************************************************************************
CASE 2:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the
turkey, "but I haven't got the energy.
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
"They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him
enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second
branch.
Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top
of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey
out of the tree.

Management Learning:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
******************************************************************************************
CASE 3:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field.
While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to
realize how warm it was.
The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy,
and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow
dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

Management Learning:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!

***************************************************************************************
CASE 4:
The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.
As they went along, they passed some people who remarked "it was a
shame
the old man was walking and the boy was riding".
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed
positions.
Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes
that little boy walk."
They decide d they both would walk!
Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk
when they had a decent donkey to ride.
So the both rode the donkey! Now they passed some people that shamed
them by saying "how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey".
The boy and man said they were probably right so they decided to carry
the donkey.
As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he
fell into the river and drowned.

Management Learning:
If you try to please everyone, you will eventually lose your ass

The 90/10 Principle.................

Have you read this before? Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean?
We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.
How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light., but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.
Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.
She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work.
You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.
Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it? B) Did your daughter cause it? C) Did the policeman cause it? D) Did you cause it?
The answer is " D".
You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.
Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.
How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.
You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.
The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.
The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache.
We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.
It CAN change your life!!!

First Aid

Asphyxia and Obstruction of Air Passages
Symptoms: Blue discoloration of face, tongue, and lips; gasping; inability to speak; unconsciousness. Treatment: First try the Heimlich maneuver, grasping the victim from behind with hands linked in front and compressing the abdomen just below the ribs. Encourage victim to cough up foreign objects in throat; as a last resort, rap victim between shoulder blades to dislodge object. For asphyxia caused by gas or fumes, remove victim to a clear atmosphere; use artificial respiration.
Bites and Stings
Symptoms: Wound (animal or human bite) or swelling and pain (insect sting). Treatment: For animal and human bites, cleanse wound with soap and water and apply iodine containing antiseptic; submit animal for rabies test. For poisonous snakebite, cooling the site of the wound with ice will slow down absorption of poisons; antivenin treatment is required only for a small number of reptile bites. Prevent exertion and taking of stimulants by victim. For insect stings apply cortisone ointments, soothing lotions, or cool compress. Persons who are allergic to insect stings should carry adrenaline with them at all times. Papain, the main ingredient in "meat tenderizer," is effective in coral sting injuries.
Burns
Symptoms: Redness (first-degree burns), blistering (second-degree burns), charring of skin (third-degree burns). Treatment: Cold water may be applied to first- and second-degree burns. All burns should be covered with sterile non-adherent dressings. Chemical burns should be washed with large quantity of water; vinegar may be added to the water for alkali burns, and sodium bicarbonate may be added to the water in case of acid burns.
Drowning and Near-Drowning
Treatment: Immediate artificial respiration, and CPR. There is controversy over whether or not the Heimlich maneuver should be used in conjunction with CPR in order to dislodge water in the lungs and stomach.
Fainting
Symptoms: Unconsciousness, paleness, rapid pulse, coldness of the skin, sweating. Treatment: Leave victim lying down, loosen clothing, roll victim to the side and wipe out mouth in the event of vomiting.
Foreign Body in the Eye
Symptoms: Pain, redness, burning, tears. Treatment: Pull down lower lid and remove unembedded object with clean tissue if it lies on the inner surface of lower lid. If object has not been located, pull upper lid forward and down over lower lid. Object can be removed from surface of upper eyelid by turning lid back over a swabstick or similar object and lifting off the foreign body with a clean tissue. Finally, flush the eye with water. If object is suspected to be embedded, apply a dry, protective dressing over eye, and call physician or take patient to hospital emergency room. Keep victim from rubbing the eye. For chemical burns, flood eyes with water.
Fractures and Joint Injuries
Symptoms: Pain or tenderness, deformity of bones, swelling, discoloration. Treatment: Prevent movement of injured parts until splint is applied; treat for shock; if ambulance service is not available, splint entire limb before moving. For sprains, elevate affected part and apply cold compresses. Elastic bandages may be used for immobilization.
Frostbite
Symptoms: Numbness, pale, glossy skin, possible blistering. Treatment: Warm by placing victim indoors, remove covering, bathe frozen part in warm water; do not massage. For cold exposure, give artificial respiration. Placing blankets over a person who has a reduced body core temperature will do no good; heat must be applied to the victim to bring the temperature up to normal. If conscious, give warm liquids by mouth.
Heat Exhaustion
Symptoms: Pale, clammy skin, profuse perspiration, weakness, headache, possibly cramps. Treatment: Rest, cool atmosphere, cool water by mouth if conscious. In case of heat cramp, exert firm pressure on cramped muscle (usually abdomen or legs) to help relieve spasms.
Heatstroke
Symptoms: High temperature (as high as 108-112°F/42-44°C), hot dry skin, rapid pulse, possibly unconsciousness. Treatment: Immediately undress victim and sponge with or immerse in cool water or wrap in water-soaked sheets. Use fan or air conditioner.
Poisoning
Symptoms and signs: Information from victim or observer, stains about mouth, presence of poison container, breath odor, pupils contracted to pinpoint size from morphine or narcotics. Treatment: Dilute ingested poison by administering water or milk, administer specific antidote if described on label of commercial product. Do not induce vomiting if poison is strong acid, strong alkali, or petroleum product, or if victim is unconscious or convulsive. Syrup of Ipecac available without prescription at pharmacies may be administered to induce vomiting in other cases. A universal antidote contains Ipecac and activated charcoal; the latter absorbs the poison and the former causes it to be expelled.
Severe Bleeding
Symptoms: External wound. Treatment: Apply pressure over wound with wad of sterile gauze or other clean material. If bleeding continues and no fracture is present, elevate wound. If bleeding still continues, apply pressure to blood vessels leading to area—in arm, press just below armpit; in leg, press against groin where thigh and trunk join. Use a tourniquet (tight band that cuts off circulation) only when it has been decided that the sacrifice of a limb is necessary to save life.
Shock
Symptoms: Pale (or bluish) skin (in victim with dark skin examine inside of mouth and nailbeds for bluish coloration), cool skin, weakness, weak pulse; unresponsiveness and dilated pupils in later stages. Treatment: Keep victim lying down and covered enough to prevent loss of body heat. The body position should be adjusted according to the victim's injuries. Victims in shock may improve if the feet are raised 8 to 12 in. (20-30 cm). For electric shock , cut off current or separate victim from contact with electricity by using dry wood, rope, cloth, or rubber; administer CPR.
Wound
Treatment: Stop bleeding, cleanse wound with soap and water and cover with sterile or clean bandage.
