10) COMMUNICATION SKILLS

• Last but not Least, if you have good communication skills then the probability of getting a job is more for you.
• And also only communication will not provide you the appointment order.
• But this plays a vital role in all interview process.
• If the interviewer wants to shortlist so many students at a time, they just go for “Group Discussion”.
• At that time only the people whoever having well and clear communication skills will get selected.
• So, please prepare for this too by reading news papers and books regularly.

9) INTERVIEW FEAR

• Please stay maximum time in the stage of your class.
• There is a thing that satisfies this point is practice.
• If you have prepared well then the amount of fear will reduce.
• I will post more things on this soon.

8) REGULARITY IN EVERYTHING

“Whatever you do, you should remember your goal”

--- This is the pledge I took in my first day of college life.

• 
  The plan you prepared and the hard work you are going to do
  You should have 100% attendance in your preparation.
  No Leave and holy days for this preparation until you get a good job.

7) SACRIFICING ALL TRASHES

Please sacrifice all trash things such as,

• Chatting with friends,
• Movies and Games,
• Late night phone calls, etc.,

6) MATERIAL COLLECTION

• Material collection is one of the important things in preparation for the placement.
• You should get all the materials based on your major in your degree first.
• For any IT Firm, you should have good knowledge in computer languages such as C, C++, JAVA, PHP, etc.,

To get good knowledge in all these languages, you should have following books.

For C Language:
“LET US C”,
“EXPLORING YOUR C SKILLS”,
“TEST YOUR C SKILLS”by “Yeshvant Kanitkar”

For C++ Language:
“Object Oriented Programming Systems concept” by “Balagrusamy”

For JAVA Language:
“Java Complete Reference”

For Aptitude Problems:
“Aptitude Test” by R.S. Agarwal

For Logical, Non Verbal and Analytical Reasoning:

For Verbal and Critical Reasoning:
Refer Recent and 12th and 14th editions of the “GRE” book by “Barrons” company.

Several books are available in the market for these languages. But these are the better among the best.

5) STICK TO PLANNER

• Sticking to the planner is not an easy one.
• If you practice one thing for 23 days, it will become your habit.
• I am saying this in my personal experience.
• Humans are always believed that there will be more time on tomorrow than today.
• Do you believe that? Absolutely No is the answer.
• Do plan according to your capacity and do hard work according to your planner.

4) AREA OF INTEREST SELECTION

• Most of the students don’t know the importance of area of interest.
• If you give an option to ask questions from your area of interest to the interviewer, you may answer well.
• If not, they can ask whatever they want.
• Just select any two area of interest from your curriculum.
• For example, if you are an IT student then you can choose “Data Structures” and “Operating Systems” as your area of interest.
• The knowledge in your area of interest should be deep.
• Do not choose complex subjects or non familiar subject as your A.O.I.
• The subjects in which you secured good marks in exam can be your best area of interests.
• You should go through nook and corner of your area of interest.
• Questions in the interview are mostly from your area of interest if you have any.
• So, choose and study your area of interest 100%.

3) TIME TABLE PREPARATION

• Time table preparation is the most important thing in this placement program.
• I can give a sample time table very soon that worked for me during my campus preparation.
• I won’t say you should follow this, but you should maintain your table neatly.

2) RESUME PREPARATION

• Lots of the present students are doing the same thing that I did in my college.
• They just get the resume models from their senior students and modified everything in that resume for themselves.
• This is not entertained.
• You should give some opportunities for the interviewer to ask like this, “Who prepared this resume for you? This is the different one we saw among your friends here.”
• This is first and good impression to the interviewer.· Do not be a sheep.
• That alone follows the senior blindly.
• Don’t list everything in the resume.
• Have something with you like your strengths and weakness, etc., because sometimes the interviewer will ask “Tell me about yourself apart from the things in your resume?”·
• At that time what will you do? So have something about you with in yourself.
• Here are few tips to create a good resumeWriting your first resume can be a daunting experience.

Following is a list of tips compiled from the advice of employers, career counselors, and recent graduates whose resumes helped them land meaningful employment.

• Pay careful attention to spelling, punctuation, grammar, and style.
• Proofread carefully, using a dictionary and stylebook, and have several other people proofread as well.

• Keep descriptions clear and to the point.
  
  • Use a simple, easy-to-read font, such as Times, Palatino, Helvetica, or Arial.
  • Confine your information to one page.
  • Include as much work experience as possible, even if it doesn't relate obviously to the job you're seeking.
  • Tailor your information to the job you're seeking.
  • Career Builder offers this collection of wisdom for fine-tuning a resume into a winner
  • Keep it concise.
  • Make your words count. Your use of language is extremely important; you need to sell yourself to an employer quickly and efficiently.
  • Address your potential employer's needs with a clearly written, compelling resume.
  • Avoid large paragraphs (over six or seven lines).
  • Resumes are often scanned by hiring managers.
  • If you provide small, digestible pieces of information you stand a better chance of having your resume actually read.
  • Use action verbs such as "developed," "managed," and "designed" to emphasize your accomplishments.
  • Don't use declarative sentences like "I developed the..." or "I assisted in..."; leave out the "I." Avoid passive constructions, such as "was responsible for managing." It's not only more efficient to say "Managed," it's stronger and more active.
  • Make the most of your experience.
  • Be honest.
  • There is a difference between making the most of your experience and exaggerating or falsifying it.
  • A falsified resume can be easily spotted by an employer (if not immediately then during the interview process), and if it doesn't prevent you from getting the job, it can cost you the job later on.
  • Don't neglect appearance.
  • Your resume is the first impression you'll make on a potential employer, and a successful resume depends on more than what you say; how you say it counts as well.Check your resume for proper grammar and correct spelling-evidence of good communication skills and attention to detail.
  • Nothing can ruin your chances of getting a job faster than submitting resume filled with (easily preventable) mistakes.
  • Make your resume easy on the eyes. Use normal margins (1" on the top and bottom, 1.25" on the sides) and don't cram your text onto the page. Allow for some breathing room between the different sections.
  • Avoid unusual or exotic font styles; use simple fonts with a professional look. Use standard, non-textured, fine-grained paper in white or ivory. Keep in mind that textured and dark colored paper may not copy well when the employer makes copies to pass around to other participants in the hiring process.
  • If you need to copy your resume, make sure your copies are clean and clear. Even the best looking resume can be ruined by a poor copier. Use only copiers maintained for professional copying.
  • Target. Target. Target.
  • Emphasize what you can do for an employer. Be specific. If you are going after more than one job opening, customize your resume accordingly. It helps to tailor your resume for a specific position.
  • Remember to only include the experience that is relevant to the job.
  • Eliminate superfluous details
  • Unnecessary details can take up a lot of valuable space on your resume.
  • Don't mention personal characteristics such as age, height, and marital status. This is information that employers may not legally solicit from you, and they would probably be more comfortable if you don't volunteer it yourself. List your hobbies and interests only if you can relate them to the position you're applying for. If you need room to describe your work experience, avoid this altogether. The phrase "References available upon request" should be left off if you need room to describe your work experience.
  • Most employers assume you have references they may contact, and will request them if there's a need to do so. Avoid the "Objective" statement--your objective should be clearly articulated in your cover letter. If you do include an objective, be specific. Vague statements, such as "Looking to utilize my marketing skills" or "seeking a rewarding position" add nothing to a resume and may in fact make you appear insincere.
• Organize information in a logical fashion.

1) PLAN YOUR ACTIVITIES

• Your activity doesn’t mean your activities in college.
• It means the activities you are doing in your free time in hostel or in your home.
• A regular or part time college going student can have a deep sleep for 4 hours a day. It is more than enough for the teenagers.
• You have to plan for the remaining 20 hours.
• Time will be spend in college is 8 hours.
• Time can be spend to do our daily activities like eating, bathing, etc., is 3 hours.
• Remaining you know, 9 hours a day.
