Keyword techniques

2008-12-26T05:20:00.001-08:00

One of the great ideas in search engine optimization is the correct and efficient use of keywords. Not the sporadic use. Not the overabundant use. But the proper usage of keywords that will increase web traffic to your site and make you wonder why you hadn't done it long ago. Measure web traffic you now receive. Then apply these simple search engine optimization techniques related to keyword usage. The results will please you.
A Keyword Caveat
In this search engine optimization technique you will focus on keywords. But remember these disclaimers:

* Overuse is overkill - search engines frown on the proliferation of keywords on a site just to use keywords to get noticed by the engines. Be discreet. Use keywords in the natural flow of your site. Forcing the usage of them in your text will, in effect, "turn off" the search engine. Its logic is programmed to think that if you have to force keyword usage on your website then you probably don't really have that much to offer. With the abundance of sites available to match its search criteria it will skip yours if there is any hint of keyword insertion in a haphazard manner without natural relationship to the text it appears in. Be wise. Use your keywords discreetly yet effectively.

* Keywords should compel - common, ordinary words do not make the best keywords. Do searches using the keywords you now employ. Are there a gazillion sites out there using them? Come on, you can do better than your competition. You can outfox them with compelling keywords. Be original, but be true to your mission. Describe your site with keywords that are unique yet defining of what you are about.

Good Web Site Management Means Good Business

2008-12-14T10:38:00.000-08:00

Having a web site and constantly maintaining it is not an easy job to do especially when you do all tasks by yourself. Many experts in online marketing would not recommend that you do a one-man-show in running your web site management. Instead of concentrating on more important matters, the other nitty-gritty aspects of your online business must be taken care of by someone else. Some marketers would outsource services while some would purchase management tools to take care of the other tasks. Since the trends in the internet industry are ever changing, you need to back yourself up with the appropriate software to ease up your load.

You should be alert in adjusting your strategies to meet the needs and demands of internet users. In order to maintain and gain more traffic to your website, you need to have updated information on your site that will make your frequent site visitors continuously interested in your offer. Part of website management is to constantly drive traffic to your sites because this is the best source for your sales and your popularity as well. With the guidelines you can get from a web site traffic machine ebook, you will realize that web site content is one of the major factors that can attract more customers to your site and that you do not spend a single dime for advertising.

If you are writing articles for your web site, this ebook can teach you how to transform your articles into traffic. You need to expand your scope by having your articles published by other ezines for free and therefore make an efficient web site management for you. The simple formula for creating traffic through articles is to write more valuable content for your web site and for other people's web site, too. This way you will be able to build up your credibility in the niche you have created. With your article posted in many other web sites, you also create links pointing back to your home page whenever readers see your website address at the bottom of your articles.

How To Watch The News

2008-11-15T09:54:00.000-08:00

The first is to buffer the news. Watch something funny before. Since the news usually ends on upbeat notes, that should keep your mood up. Another technique is to do something while you watch the news, so that you don't spend all of your focus on the news. Read a book or do a crossword while watching the news.

By focusing on the Latest SEO news only, you are more likely that you will allow it to adjust your mood. By giving it only part of your attention, you can stabilize your mood a bit more. You can also watch the news with someone else. That way, you have someone with whom you can talk about what you are seeing which might help you to release any anxiety that you are feeling.

Sometimes, watching the news on television is more harmful than helpful. The internet allows you to get news whenever you want and that might work better. Yahoo and Google both have comprehensive news sites and companies like the New York Times and CNN also maintain extensive web presences. It would allow you to watch the news a little at a time and get headlines without needing to get too much information.

Why We Need Education

2008-11-08T10:21:00.000-08:00

Education enhances one's knowledge and as the saying goes; Knowledge is Power. However, power that a person posses will be dependent on how an individual uses it. A person could ultimately choose to use knowledge and power for the benefit of themselves, for others or to be simply used in the destruction of mankind. Education is the knowledge of putting one's potentials to maximum use. Education makes man a right thinker. It tells man how to think and how to make decision.

This is where the education should be given importance. As education is geared towards individual development, such development should eventually transform into social development. For individuals and nations, it is key to creating, applying, and spreading knowledge-and thus to the development of dynamic, globally competitive economies.

It is one important policy that a state must promote, as education is the only means to understand its history, culture and to some extent their religion. Education is the only means to unite a country, a people as nation. This is to say that education is a must if a nation aspires to achieve growth and development and more importantly sustain it. The importance of education cannot be neglected by any nation. And in today's world, the role of education has become even more vital. It is an absolute necessity for economic and social development of any nation.

Make the News to Get Traffic

2008-10-17T09:14:00.000-07:00

If you've ever been asked to sign up for an RSS feed than you've been exposed to one of the newest and best ways to raise your audience from occasional lurkers to hardcore subscribers. RSS feeds stand for Really Simple Syndication and are used by news outlets to help provide fresh content to their viewers non-stop. Wouldn't it be nice if you could do that too? Well, you can. You can make your own news feed and post in on your website and content to provide fresh content that you didn't even have to create on your own.

Another way that RSS feeds are used are by people who browse multiple sites and are looking for particular stories. They install a news reader on their web browsers and they can then pull in RSS feeds to help them categorize and view headlines of multiple stories without having to read or visit each one. This makes the job of finding relevant information extremely easy and it allows them to really target news that they are interested in viewing.

Finally, you can take the ability to create an RSS feed and use it with your own content. Then, you can provide that RSS feed to other people who might be interested in syndicating your content. You can even charge for that, if your content is that much in demand. So, there are plenty of ways that RSS feeds are becoming more and more the ultimate way to create subscribers, generate exponential exposure, and even make money too.

5 Ways to Use Social Media Optimization

2008-08-30T03:31:00.000-07:00

Social media optimization is where you use different ways to generate publicity for your Internet business. These ways center on the social media and online communities of people who have common interests such as yours.

1. One of the most effective ways to use social media optimization to build your Internet business is to combine blogging and search engine optimization. Optimizing a blog post, so that its search engine friendly is no different than optimizing a web page has been in the past.

2. RSS feeds are another excellent way to optimize your blog for social media. Having a large subscriber base to your RSS feed is a great way to instantly keep people up to date on what you are doing in your Internet business every time you post a blog article.

3. Adding a Digg button would be another way that you could optimize your blog for social media purposes. This allows people to vote on the popularity of your blog article and it is one of the largest social directories, so they get a lot of search engine traffic there as well. This can lead to back links to your blog which serve as search engine bait.

4. You Tube videos are an extremely popular way to get your sales message out in a blog post. These can also create viral marketing, which is extremely important when it comes to creating more traffic that you might normally not get. A popular video can be downloaded and watched literally thousands of times as word spreads about it.

5. Sharing photos is another way to get people involved. Websites such as Flickr make this very easy to do. Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform that many bloggers use to share photos online.

This is five ways to use social media optimization to get people involved with your Internet business. It is worth spending time learning how to do this because this form of creating publicity is only going to increase in the future

What Can Get You Penalized?

2008-08-22T01:52:00.000-07:00

Keyword placement, keyword proximity, keyword density is all important factor in a website development. But overdoing those like placing keyword on every part of your page will do no good for you. These is termed as Keyword stuffing by experts and in terms of search engine it is called keyword Spamming.

The consequences are that your website may get penalized by ranking it low in SERP (Search Engine Result Page).

Don't make your page heavy; mean to say one should not over-use the things mentioned below:

* No heavy Images,
* No Heavy Flash,
* No links in Flash.

One can include the images but in an appropriate manner.

Another factor is cloaking which by far is an important issue as far as penalization is concerned.

Cloaking is an unethical SEO tactic which involves serving a specific page to each search engine spider and a different one to human visitors.

There are three types of cloaking:

1) IP based

2) User-agent based and

3) Hybrid

IP based cloaking involves showing different pages (which are highly optimized with fresh content) to the search engine based on their search engine (IP).

User-agent based means where the spiders' User-Agents are recognized at the server and handled accordingly.

Hybrid is a mixture of the both IP and User-agent.

IP based cloaking is by far used more to serve the cloaked pages to SE.

Need Information For Search

2008-08-14T10:49:00.000-07:00

It is no magic that you can get the information you want on the web. It will be free, if you want it to:

1. Search for your subjects. You will be landed on some websites.

2. Read the web page, if the information that you need is given enough or you want more information. Normally the free information websites only provide you with some general information.

3. If not, click on the underlined keyword on the page. Normally, you be sent to the sales page of the products matching the subject you searched in details. If you really like it then buy it. If you only want to get that information free then go to 4.

4. Go back to the previous website. Check all the ads appearing on the web page, select the one that shows exact or similar information that you searched for. If you find the information that you want, you have 2 choices. Buy it or look for the keywords of the web page, the words that appear many times in the web page or the headline.

5. Search the keywords on search engines until you are totally satisfied for information gathered or repeat step 1 again. Sooner or later you will find what you wanted.

In general, finding information free on search engines requires a lot of patience and is time consuming. Free websites most likely provide only limited information if you are searching for something important. The best choice is to buy it because bought information is usually written by specialists and is copyrighted.

Secret To Getting Indexed In Yahoo

2008-08-02T03:46:00.000-07:00

The secret to getting indexed in Yahoo involves constant updates to your site. The updates, however, have to be done on both the site and through Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds. Here’s how you go about getting indexed.

The first step is to start a blog for your site. You can build a blog on your site or use a free service. I prefer blogger.com. Once you have the blog up with content posted, you must turn the blog into a real simple syndication feed. Again, you can use your own system. I prefer to use a free service because I really don’t have the time to waste on such things.

If you have a yahoo email account, you need to access you’re My Yahoo page. If you don’t have an account, get one! Once you are on the My Yahoo page, do the following:

1. Click the “add content” link in the upper left hand under the search box.

2. When the new page opens, click the “Add RSS by URL” link on the right of the “Find Content” search box in the upper section of the page.

3. Enter the exact link provided by Feedburner and click “add.” Do NOT add the url for your blog.

4. Click the “My Yahoo” tab at the top of the page and refresh the page.

At this point, you should see your feed at the bottom of the page. If you don’t, be patient. Yahoo is sometimes slow, so just try it again in an hour or so. When the feed is added, you should see the name of your blog and the title of each post under it. Yahoo can take up to a day to add new posts, so don’t panic if they don’t show up immediately.

Once you’ve completed the above, Yahoo will follow the links in the blog and index the pages on your site.

What is Blog Classroom

2008-07-23T05:29:00.001-07:00

Two very well respected marketers, Anik Singal and Rosalind Gardner have finally released a training program, which I think is the easiest way ANYONE can get started blogging online - Blog Classroom.

Their entire goal is to teach you how you can get everything you need set-up in just minutes and then even MAINTAIN your blog in just minutes a day. They recently ran a COMPLETELY free pre-course that had well over 1,000 comments on it from students who were amazed at how easily they were getting their blog businesses started. Now, they’re releasing over 100+ videos and a 4-week Webinar coaching group to basically reveal every detail on how they run their blog businesses.

Look - blogging is big business. People are making serious income blogging online. If you’ve always wanted to work from home, if you’ve struggled making money online, or if you’ve never even considered it - give Blog Classroom a try. You’ll be glad that you did.

Special PC Security..

How to clean harmful files and adult content from your PC ???

I am online all the time, and there are times when I accidentally come across an adult website or another site that installs harmful material onto my computer. It is annoying, it hurts your computer, and it sends out information about you to sites that you do not want to attract. Here is how you can get rid of adult content and harmful files on your PC.

First of all, we want to use the tools features in the web browser you use to clear out bad sites that have been visited and images that they have left on your computer. If you have seen the image, it is on your hard drive.
READ IF YOU USE INTERNET EXPLORER:
Steps 2-5 are for Internet Explore users. Click on the "Tools" menu and click internet options for Internet explorer web browsers. There are three delete options that you can click on to clear out all of the cached items, and we will walk through these.
Click on "Delete Files" to get rid of all of the cached images on your computer that are automatically saved to your hard drive when you browse a website.
Click on "Clear History" to get rid of the listing of all of the visited web addresses you have viewed on your computer.
Additionally, you will want to click on "Clear Cookies" to remove any marking or data files that the site placed on your machine to identify you as a viewer and log your information.
IF YOU USE FIREFOX:
If you are using Firefox, then you will click on "Clear Private Data" and select the check boxes of the items you want to delete. If the items you want to remove are not listed, then you can really get into the details by clicking on "Tools", then "options", then the "Privacy" item to find what you want to clear. You should also clear your cookies.
Now we want to clear our search engine histories as well. To do this, you need to clear the forms on your internet browser. It is also a good idea to tunr off the AutoComplete as well so that your computer will not guess the items you want to search and return a nasty result or page that has bad files and images. You can take care of both of these in your Tools Menu for your web browser. Sometimes you have to actually clear your index.dat file. To find this file, do a search in the start menu icon and type in the file name as "index.dat"
Even after you follow all of these steps, there may still be some harmful files and images on your computer that you can not erase. If you want to get rid of everything, I recommend the use of these programs that will take care of everything listed and then some. They costs some money, but they are great programs:

The Secret to Using Keywords Effectively

2008-07-11T00:14:00.000-07:00

Always keep your keywords as descriptive and as relevant to your subject matter as possible. In other words, the search engines follow whatever you write, they don't know what your article is about. The search engine crawlers will take a snapshot of exactly what you write. If you have used the correct descriptive keywords to make your point, your audience will have no trouble finding what you have written.

Believe me Google and Yahoo want you to find what you're looking for. When deciding on what keywords to use in any situation, I find the best strategy is to put myself in the shoes of my searching customer. I ask myself, what question would I ask, to find what I'm selling, and how would I phrase it. When you can answer that question, your customers should have no problems finding you.

For instance, if you are selling coffee online and you want your customers to find you, you could advertise "coffee for sale", but when your prospective customer types "coffee for sale" into the search engine, they will get millions of results returned, and finding you in the results is a joke. However, if you advertise "Mike's Aroma Blast Kona Coffee", your customers will find you every time.

It doesn't matter whether you are selling something online or searching for something to buy, using relevant keywords makes all the difference between success and failure.

SEO myth: Meta tags

2008-06-30T02:12:00.000-07:00

The general reasoning behind people or companies still wanting or attempting to use meta tags is: "Meta tags will make all the difference for our web site" or "We have heard or read of companies that their web sites were placed way on top because of meta tags". Our response to such statements is, four or five years ago, it could have been true somewhat, even if some people don't exactly agree on that statement.

At the beginning of the Internet, meta tags were originally incorporated in a site as an attempt to better assist webmasters. They were also included to help search engines discover what their site was all about. Well, as one might expect, it didn't take very long that some people found a way to short-circuit the system as it were.

Some actually tried and successfully got around in abusing this technique by writing useless keywords into their meta tags in hopes to trick the search engines to rank them higher. Today, and because of all this abuse, most major search engines, especially Google, are placing less and less importance in the presence or absence of meta tags and their content.

Types of Keywords

2008-06-23T04:03:00.000-07:00

Keywords are basic raw material used in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Keyword selection must be done using Keyword Research where we use special tools to find out a list of Keywords (search terms) searched by targeted audience, recently. Keyword can be single word, two or three words, multiple words and theme based.

Basically There are 3 Types of Keywords:-

Keyword of Single word:- Keyword of Single word helps in bringing huge traffic but these terms are mostly not relevant these days, as, searchers mostly use two or three keyword to find out their required information.
Keyword of Multiple words:- Keyword of Multiple words is used to target a specific traffic, which leads to high sale, top position in search result listing as well as improves page rank competition. Keyword of Multiple words are known as Specific Keyword where we target a specific audience & not general searcher. Keyword of Multiple words helps to target a specific page for a specific audience.
Keywords based on Theme:- Keywords based on Theme are used in each page of web site to focus on a specific topic correlated to a targeted topic or idea . Keywords based on Theme effectively contribute in growth of informative pages for its site focusing on different related topics.

Modern SEO Techniques

2008-06-17T03:17:00.000-07:00

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) are methods that aid in the improvement of a website's ranking in the listings of search engines. There are different kinds of listings that are displayed in the results pages of search engines, such as paid inclusion, pay-per-click advertisements, and organic search results. Utilizing SEO can increase the quantity of site visitors that acts on the activity that the site intends.

Here are some of the most useful ones---

1. Title tags should be written in a creative way. It should be created with the strongest keyword targets as the basis. It is the most important tag of a web site when it comes to optimization. The specific keyword of the web site that is being optimized should be the one that is placed in the title tag. It goes without saying that every site should have its own title tag.

2. Carefully select the words and phrases to be assigned to Alt tags. Alt tags are not really mandatory, but they are provided for text browsers because images do not get displayed in web browsers, and it is the Alt tags that give information to the users about its significance. The rule in Alt tags is fairly simple: only key phrases or key words should be put in Alt tags, overdoing may cause a site to disappear in search results or get banned from it indefinitely.

3. Manage keyword density. Keyword density is the percentage occupied by keywords or keyword phrases in a web page. Ideally, keywords are used once in the title tag, the heading tag, and in bold text. Keywords should be placed at the top of the page, and phrases can be inserted in every paragraph, depending on how long the paragraph is.

4. Determine the appropriate page size for the site. Speed is a vital element to the success of a site, and it important to both online visitors and the search engines. It is recommended to limit web pages under 15K.

5. Create rich themes for the pages. Search engines are increasingly getting particular about themes. Content should be created as often as possible, and the pages should be maintained to 200 to 500 words. The content should be created in relation to the market, and should be linked to the other related content present on the site.

6. Make the site's design attractive to the viewer. All efforts in optimization will be in vain if the site is poorly designed and if its contents are hard for viewers to read. There should be more text content than HTML content in the web site. Viewers should be able to use the pages in all major browsers. It should be noted that most search engines veer away from JavaScript and Flash.

Advertisers should keep in mind that simplicity is the basis of a successful SEO campaign. Sites should be easy for viewers to locate, follow, and read, and should contain relevant content. Following the techniques above will prove worthwhile for site owners in the future.

What are Dangling links !!!

2008-06-13T22:29:00.001-07:00

"Dangling links" are simply links that point to any page with no outgoing links. They affect the model because it is not clear where their weight should be distributed, and there are a large number of them. Often these dangling links are simply pages that we have not downloaded yet..........Because dangling links do not affect the ranking of any other page directly, we simply remove them from the system until all the page ranks are calculated. After all the page ranks are calculated they can be added back in without affecting things significantly." - extract from the original page rank paper by Google’s founders, Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page.

A dangling link is a link to a page that has no links going from it, or a link to a page that Google hasn't indexed. In both cases Google removes the links shortly after the start of the calculations and reinstates them shortly before the calculations are finished. In this way, their effect on the page rank of other pages in minimal.

Although it may be functionally good to link to pages within the site without those pages linking out again, it is bad for page rank. It is pointless wasting page rank unnecessarily, so always make sure that every page in the site links out to at least one other page in the site.

How to get repeat traffic

2008-06-02T10:27:00.000-07:00

1. Make sure you update all of the pages on your site frequently. Unchanged sites can be dropped by some sites and nobody wants to go onto a site and see something last updated in 2005 do they? It could be a good idea also to put a last updated counter so it shows to people you update it a lot so they will check back.

2. Allow customers and visitors to your site to be able to sign up for discounts and special offers. Put a form on your site to allow them to be able to sign up for a weekly, fortnightly or even monthly newsletter which they may be interested in.

3. Add a link to allow people to add your site to their favorites or send this to a friend, it will remind people about your site when they take a look in their bookmarks and think “Oh look, I wonder if this site has any updates”

4. Make sure that your site is easy to find if people forget the address. I have wanted to visit a website but could never find it. The best thing to do is put links so users can add your site to social bookmarking sites, so even if their computer dies they will be able to find their way back.

5. Never spam anybody who has signed up for a newsletter. If people no longer wish to receive these then make sure you do take them off the mailing list. This makes you look respectful and that you are not a cowboy who will just spam peoples’ in boxes to try and sell their product or get the odd page view.

6. Make a “Whats New?” section. People will instantly go to this to take a look at what has recently been updating and following on from earlier they will like a site that is always updated and will probably come back to take a look at what is new and what has been updated.

Cisco Ccna, Ccnp, And Ccent Certification Exam Practice

2008-05-25T10:00:00.000-07:00

Here are some free Cisco certification practice exam questions for you , along with a little extra bonus material on recon attacks. Enjoy!

A frame enters a switchport. Which of the following does the switch examine first?

A. Source IP address

B. Destination IP address

C. Source MAC address

D. Destination MAC address

Answer: C. The switch will check the source MAC address first, and then decide whether that particular address and corresponding port number need to be added to the switch's MAC address table.

CCNP Certification / BSCI Exam:

In the following EIGRP configuration, the number 100 appears twice. Describe the purpose of each.

R2(config)#router eigrp 100
R2(config-router)#redistribute ospf 1 metric 1544 100 1 255 1500

Answer: The first "100" is the EIGRP AS number. The second "100" is the delay metric for the OSPF routes redistributed into EIGRP.

CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam:

What single command can be used to change the speed and/or duplex setting of multiple ports simultaneously?

Answer: interface range.

CCNP Certification / ISCW Exam:

Name and briefly describe three different kinds of recon attacks.

A reconnaissance attack isn't necessarily destructive in itself. Quite the contrary, the attacker really doesn't want to draw your attention to this type of attack. A reconnaissance attack is primarily designed to gather information and test network defenses in preparation for a future - and very destructive - network attack.

Just as a successful ping to a single IP address will tell you if that host is online or not, a ping sweep sends pings to a range of addresses to find out which ones are in use. In a similar fashion, port scans are used to find out what ports are open and can possibly be compromised. Packet sniffers can be used for much the same reason.

And just as asking questions about someone can yield information about that person, queries can help a network attacker gain information about your network. DNS queries, SQL queries, and Internet Information queries are just three query types that can be used to gather information for future attacks.

CCNP Certification / ONT Exam:

You want to run Weighted Fair Queueing on a link that's running faster than 2.048 MBPS. What global configuration command allows this?

Answer: None - WFQ does not work on interfaces running at a speed higher than 2.048 MBPS.

One of the primary advantages of an existing domain name is that it already has traffic flowing toward it. Obviously the amount of traffic will vary greatly depending on what the current owner has done for promotion but any traffic is more than the zero visitors a fresh name will deliver.

Another advantage is from search engine optimization. Many domainers will have at least put in a small amount of time optimizing their domain name portfolio for search engines. Others put in a great deal of time and effort targeting key words and making sure the domain name is listed. It takes time for various domain names to work their way into search engine listings and if someone has already done that work for you then you are ready to capitalize on their groundwork as soon as you take over the name.

5 Tips to Improve your Wireless Connection

2008-04-07T09:19:00.000-07:00

Wireless technology makes it easy to get rid of the cables and take computing away from the desk. It's becoming the household norm, and while the technology is advancing quickly, there are some easy things you can do to improve your own wireless connectivity.

1. Position your Router
A wireless signal doesn't carry far, and any walls or large objects may cause interference. For this reason, a wireless router should be centrally located in your home to insure the best range possible. Place the router on a flat surface off the floor and away from obstructions. Additionally, there could be interference from a neighboring wireless signal. Make sure that you're using a unique wireless channel to limit interference.

2. Replace your Antenna
The antennas shipped with most routers are small antennas with omni-directional capabilities. These antennas broadcast a signal in all directions, which can be useful if you need wireless throughout your house, but the range is quite short. A directional antenna can improve range by focusing the signal in a specific way, allowing you to aim it where it's needed. These antennas are often called "high-gain" and the signal increase is measured in decibels (dB).

3. Get a Repeater
A wireless repeater is the easy and safe way to boost your signal. A repeater works very much like a router, but instead of creating a signal, it relays an existing signal. A repeater is easy to install and doesn't require any additional wires or connections. Multiple repeaters make it easy to create a home or business network with complete connectivity.

4. Make an Antenna Booster
It's possible to make a homemade reflector or antenna to improve your wireless signal. There are templates and building instructions on many Web sites across the internet to use materials as commonplace as foil and cardboard. Common designs are a parabolic satellite shape and a "coffee can" yagi antenna. Both can increase range and direct your signal, though homemade quality will vary.

5. Upgrade Firmware
Router manufacturers publish firmware updates regularly and upgrading your router can provide a performance boost and access to new features. Another option for the tech savvy is to install third-party firmware. There are a number of free, safe alternatives that may be compatible with your router. One project, DD-WRT, offers more robust features than many of the official firmware packages.

How to describe yourself?

2008-03-07T20:04:00.000-08:00

"Describe yourself!", This question is almost invariably asked in the majority of interviews, and just as invariably answered dismally!. What does one say and why do we always seem so flustered by the question?. Because we have always been taughtby our parents and respected elders not to boast or talk about ourselves.

With a childhood full of such repressive advice, its not surprising that the majority of us begin the answer with a stammer and a blush, almost instantly changing from flash to foolish and ruining our chances of employment.

So what do we say? Frankly, just answer the question as it comes. Most disconcerted candidates dread this question and begin with a silly "Basically, my name is ...". Why don't we realise that our CV is there right in front of the interviewer, and he knows this already.
By repeating the stuff that fills our CV, we just demonstrate that we are an 'in-the-box' kind of person, with little if any skill in innovation and presentation.

Actually, a question of this kind is an ideal way to plug in everything we want to say about ourselves that we had leave out of the CV. If you have attended a premier institution, say that the institution taught you much more than the degree it awared ypu, mention people who influenced ypu, talk about the books you like reading, your hobbies and your other interests.

Talk about your strengths; perhaps mention an instance when you used your conflict resolution skills or selling skills or whatever. But make certain that it does not sound like blowing your trumpet. Mention these instances as learning.
Tall about your weaknesses, but make sure that they are 'positive' weaknesses. For instance you could say that that you sometimes pay more attention to detail than is warranted. You can openly confess a tendency to be impatient with team members who cannot carry their own weight, or who cannot contribute sufficiently.

But first, think today what you want to say and practice. Remeber, if you hesitate about yourself, your interviewers will doubt whether you fit their bill of requirements. After all, if you don't know about you, who does?

What is Data Flow Diagram

2008-02-22T20:44:00.000-08:00

The Data Flow Diagram is commonly used also for the visualization of structured design data processing. The normal flow is represented graphically. A designer typically draws context level DFD first showing interaction between the system and the outside entities. Then this context level DFD will then be exploded in order to further show the details of system being modeled.

A DFD is one of the three essential perspectives of Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM). In this method, both the project sponsors and the end users need to collaborate closely throughout the whole stages of the evolution of the system. Having a DFD will make the collaboration easy because the end users will be able to visualize the operation of the system, the will see a better perspective what the system will accomplish and how the whole project will be implemented.

A project implementation can also be made more efficient especially in progress monitoring. The DFD of the old system can be laid side by side with the new system's DFD so that comparisons can be made and weak points can be identified so that the appropriate innovations can be developed.

There are four components of a data flow diagram which are the following:
External Entities / Terminators - These refer or points to the outside parts of the system being developed or modeled. Terminators, depending on whether data flows into or from the system, are often called sinks or sources. They represent the information as wherever it comes from or where it goes.
Processes – The Processes component modifies the inputs and corresponding outputs.
Data Stores – refers to any place or area or storage where data will be placed whether temporarily or permanently.
Data Flows – refers to the way data will be transferred from one terminator to another, or through processes and data stores.

As a general rules, every page in a DFD should not contain more than 10 components. So, if there are more than 10 components in one processes, one or more components should have to be combined and then make another DFD to detail the combination in another page.
Each component needs to be number. Same goes for each subcomponent so that it will be easy to follow visually. For example, a top level DFD must have components numbered 1,2,3,4,5 and next level subcomponent (for instance of number 2) numbered 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and so on.
There are two approaches to developing a DFD. The first approach is the Top Down Approach where a DFD starts with a context level DVD and then the system is slowly decomposed until the graphical detail goes down to a primitive level.

The other approach, Event Partitioning Approach, was described by Edward Yourdon in Just Enough Structured Analysis. In Event Partitioning Approach, a detailed DFD is constructed all events are made. For every event, a process is constructed and then each process is linked with other processes through data stores. Each process' reaction to a given event is modeled by an outgoing data flow.

There many DFD tools available in the market today. Some of these DFD tools include Microsoft Visio, ConceptDraw, Dia, SmartDraw and SILVERRUN ModelSphere. Most of these tools have drag and drop capabilities and have analysis tools to help a designer see instant potential flaw in the diagram so correction can done immediately.

A Career In Corporate Law

2008-02-08T00:51:00.000-08:00

To be a lawyer, one needs to be a qualified in the field of law. To be a graduate in law, it takes four years in undergraduate school and three years' specialization in law through a law school. In this case, specialization would be in corporate law. To practice law, you need a license. To get the license, you first need to pass the bar exam - an examination that will test your knowledge, character and attitude. After the test, students are then recruited by law firms.

Junior Corporate Associate

As a junior corporate lawyer, you will be learning things the hard way. As a junior corporate associate, you have to do the grunt work of organizing documents, faxing, proofreading, copying, scheduling meetings, etc. In addition to these, the junior associate also has various other duties. These duties can be classified into various categories such as drafting contracts and conducting reviews, preparing filings, due diligence and writing of memoranda. A lot of a junior associates' time is spend doing research work. A lot of trial and error work goes on into drafting contracts, security disclosure statements and corporate resolutions - and these are things that are not necessarily taught in law school. The junior associate, at times, has to spend a lot of time proofreading.

A law firm may later offer a junior associate the role of a partner. This involves working on individual projects and having junior associates working for you. So to be a good corporate leader, you will need to be hard working, diligent and possess excellent problem solving skills. A corporate lawyer gets paid extremely well, but the job it involves a lot of hard work. Many corporate attorneys work in excess of 60 hours a week.

What Does A Corporate Lawyer Do?

A corporate lawyer mostly works in the legal department of a business, as a legal advisor. Their work includes dealing with issues of taxes, employee rights, amalgamations, mergers and acquisitions. In short, a corporate lawyer has to ensure the legality of commercial transactions. There are other types of practice a corporate lawyer could undertake, and not all lawyers do the same type of job. Some provide advice on legal or/and non-legal issues to the corporation. In this area, the work of a corporate lawyer starts from the formation a corporation and goes on through the life of the business. Until it is dissolved.

Career Goals That Can Boost Your Future!

2008-01-26T09:32:00.000-08:00

Though setting a career goal is considered to be a difficult task, it really isn't that hard। You should know how to choose a career based on your interests, abilities and academic qualifications. It is also important to analyze various career options before settling on one.

Interesting Career Goals

There are some interesting career oriented goals that will help you stand apart from the crowd। Some of the important career goals that can make you successful in your desired field of work are as follows:

-Concentrate on quality rather than on quantity। Instead of trying to build a great network, spend some quality time with the contacts that you already have and discover more about them.

-Be clear about your career growth। Always have a vision about your position in one, four or six years. Decide what kind of job you would prefer to do, where it will be located, what kind of work environment you would like to have and your compensation expectations.

-Try to work to the best of your ability in your current job। One of the most important ways to be visible and rise higher in your career is by being highly passionate about your work. It is believed that when a person does well in an organization, everyone starts recognizing that individual's abilities and talking about them positively. The appreciation and recognition along with rewards keeps coming for people who continuously stay passionate and focused towards their work.

-It is essential to market yourself within the company। More often than not, people work very hard, and still senior mangers or people at the higher position in a company fail to recognize their efforts. This is generally due to poor self-promotion. Marketing your efforts is one of the greatest arts

- while no one like a boastful person, you sill need to get the word out about your accomplishments in a direct or indirect way। For instance, you can always single out and praise a junior co-employee or your team in an email memo to your boss with copies to other managers.

-Try to develop and enhance your efforts to build healthy relationships with new people। In other words, you need to build your contact list and further expand your network. You never know who you are going to meet somewhere. Always act professionally wherever you may be and always be ready to "toot your own horn" in a positive way.

Java questions for Exams

2008-01-06T10:48:00.000-08:00

Q:How can I write a program that takes command line input?

A:Java programs that take input from the command line declare a special static method called main, which takes a String array as an argument and returns void। The example program below loops through any arguments passed to the program on the command line and lists their values. More details available to subscribers:How can I write a program that takes command line input?

Q: What does public static void main(String[]) mean?

A: This is a special static method signature that is used to run Java programs from a command line interface (CLI)। There is nothing special about the method itself, it is a standard Java method, but the Java interpreter is designed to call this method when a class reference is given on the command line, as below. More details available to subscribers:What does public static void main(String[]) mean?

Q: Why are command line arguments passed as a String?

A: Command line arguments are passed to the application's main method by the Java runtime system before the application class or any supporting objects are instantiated। It would be much more complex to define and construct arbitrary object types to pass to the main method and primitive values alone are not versatile enough to provide the range of input data that strings can. String arguments can be parsed for primitive values and can also be used for arbitrary text input, file and URL references.

Q: Why doesn't the main method throw an error with no arguments?

A: When you invoke the Java Virtual Machine on a class without any arguments, the class' main method receives a String array of zero length। Thus, the method signature is fulfilled. Provided the main method does not make any reference to elements in the array, or checks the array length before doing so, no exception will occur.

Q: Why do we only use the main method to start a program?

A: The entry point method main is used to the provide a standard convention for starting Java programs। The choice of the method name is somewhat arbitrary, but is partly designed to avoid clashes with the Thread start() and Runnable run() methods, for example.

Q: Can the main method be overloaded?

A: Yes, any Java method can be overloaded, provided there is no final method with the same signature already। The Java interpreter will only invoke the standard entry point signature for the main method, with a string array argument, but your application can call its own main method as required. Main method modifiers Q: Can the main method be declared final? A: Yes, the static void main(String[]) method can be declared final.

Q: I get an exception if I remove the static modifier from main!

A: The static void main(String[]) method is a basic convention of the Java programming language that provides an entry point into the runtime system। The main method must be declared static because no objects exist when you first invoke the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), so there are no references to instance methods. The JVM creates the initial runtime environment in which this static method can be called, if you remove the static modifier, it will throw a NoSuchMethodException. Application start up

Q: What is threaded programming and when is it used?

A: Threaded programming is normally used when a program is required to do more than one task at the same time। Threading is often used in applications with graphical user interfaces; a new thread may be created to do some processor-intensive work while the main thread keeps the interface responsive to human interaction. The Java programming language has threaded programming facilities built in, so it is relatively easy to create threaded programs. However, multi-threaded programs introduce a degree of complexity that is not justified for most simple command line applications.

Q: Why are wait(), notify() and notifyall() methods defined in the Object class?

A: These methods are detailed on the Java Software Development Kit JavaDoc page for the Object class, they are to implement threaded programming for all subclasses of Object.

Q: Why are there separate wait and sleep methods?

A: The static Thread।sleep(long) method maintains control of thread execution but delays the next action until the sleep time expires। The wait method gives up control over thread execution indefinitely so that other threads can run. More details available to subscribers:Why are there separate wait and sleep methods? Threads and runnable types

Q: What's the difference between Thread and Runnable types?

A: A Java Thread controls the main path of execution in an application। When you invoke the Java Virtual Machine with the java command, it creates an implicit thread in which to execute the main method. The Thread class provides a mechanism for the first thread to start-up other threads to run in parallel with it. The Runnable interface defines a type of class that can be run by a thread. The only method it requires is run, which makes the interface very easy to to fulfil by extending existing classes. A runnable class may have custom constructors and any number of other methods for configuration and manipulation.

Tips You Can Use To Improve Your Memory

2007-12-29T03:56:00.000-08:00

Improve Your Memory

If you have the desire to Improve your memory then please go through this.When it comes to our general memory, we tend to receive the data before we analyze and store it into our brains. Much of this information is stored in a form that is called short term memory. To improve your memory, you will want to take the desirable parts of this short term memory and store it into your long term memory.Placing information in your long term memory will allow you to remember it much longer than just a few minutes. Studies have shown that much of the information we absorb can be lost in just a few minutes.

After a single hour has passed, two thirds of this information will be lost. After 24 hours has passed, 90% of the information we received the day before can be lost. As you can see, this can make remembering things difficult, especially when you consider the fact that most of us are presented with numerous facts and figures on a daily basis. There are a number of strategies you can use to reverse this. The first thing you will want to start doing is organizing the information you take in. To do this, you will need to figure out how you want to absorb information. You could use rote memorization, or you could use a outline form. When you receive useful information, it is important to pay attention to it. You may also find it helpful to use multiple senses. You can write it down, say it out loud, or look at it.

When you use multiple senses to memorize something, this will send a message to your brain saying that it is important, and your brain will place it in your long term memory. Another thing that can help you improve your memory is recall. If you recall something multiple times, this will allow your brain to take the information and place it in your long term memory instead of just the short term memory.

Following the steps above will allow you to commit any information you want into the long term memory of your brain. It is excellent for college students who have to take multiple exams. You will also want to do the same thing for about three more days. If you find this to be tedious, it is easier than you think. It is important to remember that your brain will get rid of information that it assumes isn't important. If you don't go over the information enough times, your brain will place it in your short term memory. Once you've repeated the same process 20 times in a span of three days, this will send a message to your brain that this information must not be forgotten.

Are Online Credit Cards Safe?

2007-12-22T03:21:00.000-08:00

So you have been in and out on all the local shops there are in your neighborhood, in your town, in your city and even in your country. And now you figure, it is time to widen the coverage of your shopping spree and boost your buying power from the boundaries of Australia to the rest of the world. How on earth would you accomplish such a feat? Go and apply for a credit card. That plastic card may very well be your access certificate to the countless and multitude of vendors and suppliers around the globe who have offered their products and services through the world-wide-web for you to easily shop, purchase and avail from. Just like these vendors and suppliers, credit card companies are also opening their doors to online credit card applications. However, a lot of individuals tend to be hesitant and doubtful in filling out online application forms. A lot of questions arise on whether or not the information that one hands out online are safe which is not surprising especially with the high number of issues on internet scams and fraud. These online credit card banks and companies, nevertheless, have made ways to ensure that security of the information of their clients is not jeopardized with the advancement of technology. The methods and processes they use even boast to be safer as compared to filling out your applications in paper and sending them through the traditional post. One of the undertakings that online credit card companies have taken in reducing and preventing data theft and infringement is the making use of SSL technology. Secure Sockets Layer of SSL is a kind of transmission protocol which works to encrypt the facts and figures which one sends via the net, in this case particularly from your personal computer at home to the receiving database of the bank or of the credit card company. In layman's terms, encryption is highly developed and very complicated mathematical process wherein the data are broken down and camouflaged during the transmission so that they may be unreadable to the people who may hack the system. Remember the secret language that you once shared with your friends during your preschool years? That secret language may be your earlier experience with encryption schemes and techniques

6 Best Ways To Boost Your Creativity

2007-12-13T13:31:00.000-08:00

Either those working in a creative environment or those who don’t, must have had experienced a moment when they feel like they had nothing at all in their mind. They got blocked. They are stuck. However, there are some steps that these people can try to get unblocked. They can even go back to being extremely creative.
All they have to do is simply:

1. Break off. Simply do nothing. Take your time. You might be overloaded. You might be stressed out. And, there is nothing better you can do than just stop doing anything. Take some time to enjoy yourself. Get a bubble bath or enjoy your most favorite food or go shopping. Anything that can make you feel relaxed.

2. Don’t be afraid to make changes. Change anything that you think is necessary. Change your working atmosphere. Change your way of doing the job. Change your way of thinking.

3. Believe in yourself. Don’t underestimate your capability. If once you could do it, then you can do it and you’ll always be able to do it. Keep in mind that you are a creative person. Don’t ever think the opposite.

4. Play with what seem to be impossible ideas. Try to. You’ll never know whether it’s really impossible or not until you try. Even if it might not be an amazing result, at least you have exercised. And, for most creative people a seemingly-impossible-or-bad idea might turn into an astonishing one.

5. Get a friend. Link with a friend also working as a creative person.

6. Enjoy the process. Anything done with joy might bring a better result than that with depression. Especially anything related to creativity. If you tend to get drowned in the river of hopelessness, you are unlikely to be creative. Don’t waste your being blocked and stuck. Move forward. Your willingness is the key to creativity.

Five Tips for Writing a Great CV

2007-12-08T02:25:00.000-08:00

The trends for writing a good CV change all the time. Should you write a CV with all your work history? Do you bullet point this or that? Just what sort of information should you put in a CV.Plenty of websites will tell you what the current trends for writing a CV are. But you want your CV to look good and leave a fine impression with potential employers, so here are five tips to help you write a better CV than everyone else.

Keep it short

When a job opening comes up, potential employers are flooded with applications. Many CVs don't even get read and are tossed without a thought. CVs that are too long to read are amongst the first to be passed up, so keep your CV short and concise.
Structure it properly and make sure your CV is easy and fast to read. Choose to put things that are memorable on your resume, such as accomplishments or experience that makes you stand out. Be wise with your words and use text that's catchy but stay with relevant terms appropriate for the position you're applying for.

Work Backwards

The first thing that should be on the list of your work experience and job history is the most recent position you held. Potential employers don't care what you did twenty years ago – they want fresh blood and new energy in their company. Pertinent and recent is what they'll watch for, to determine if you're suitable for the job.

Tell the Truth

We all want to present ourselves in the best light and impress potential employers. Lying or glossing over black spots on your CV isn't the way to go about doing so. If you try to cover up areas in your work history, most likely they'll be discovered later on down the line, costing you a potential job.
Look at the positive sides of less-than-desirable work history. If you were unemployed for a period, what did you do in that time? What did you learn? What did you occupy your time with? Put a spin on things and present your history in its best light.

Just The Facts

A CV isn't the place to wax poetic or to gush on about an achievement. A CV is basically a list of facts about why you're qualified for an open position in a business or company. You want to be creative about the power words you choose to describe yourself, not about the type of fiction you can come up with to boost your appeal.

A Cover Letter?

Yes! Include a cover letter with your CV. A cover letter tells your employer your motivation for the job and presents the rationale behind your application. A cover letter is the first thing your potential employer will see, and it introduces you more formally to the business you'd like to work for. Consider it your first "meeting" and have your cover letter include a strong statement of your accomplishments towards the end.

Five simple steps. Yet are they? for if it were that easy, would most applicants not make sure they were all followed. You'd think so, wouldn't you? So often this is not the case. And now you can!

HOW-TO: #1 in Google in 7 days

2007-12-01T20:41:00.000-08:00

Article submission was something I had tried in the past but I had always done so by hand submitting to 2 or 3 of the larger portals. In my test during February I was pleasantly surprised how easily I nailed #1 positions across Google, Yahoo, and MSN for some well searched terms. And in 7 days no less. On Big Daddy servers I was noticing #1 spots within 48 hours of posting. In this article I aim to explain, step by step, exactly how I pulled this off, and why it works.

About a week ago I noticed I was #1 in Google for most of the stories I had been submitting to submission sites. Yahoo seems to not like me so much but I am always on the main page at least. Another massive benefit in Google that you will see down the road due to link age considerations, is a large amount of backlinks to your website from pages with a decent PR. With one submission I even nailed two PR7 and one PR8 link. Also I found my article republished, links intact, on several same themed blogs and sites. All of this this as we know, is yummy in Google's tummy.

Obviously this can change but take a look for yourself:

VideoLan Tutorial on Google #1

VideoLan Tutorial on MSN #1

VideoLan Tutorial on Yahoo #1

Keep in mind this article was only published on February 20th – and these rankings were achieved in about 7 days. In fact if you search for any of the article titles in my side bar you will find most of them in the top 10 across all search engines – and quite a few are #1. Now you are not going to hit number #1 positions for very competitive keywords right away, but with a little work you can usually find some pay dirt. The trick is finding keywords that are an attainable goal and that still pull in searchers.
If you have nothing new, fresh or insightful to write about, put your pen down until you do.
Also keep in mind you are not going to get a flood of traffic by doing this once or even 10 times. I only bother to submit articles that are worthy but article submission is now a time consuming part of my regular writing duties. The idea is to attain a trickle of traffic from many sources and get some chatter going. The next step is teaching your girlfriend how to submit articles for you...Heh, ok seriously...

So here is exactly how I did it:

I wrote a solid 500-800 word paper on an emerging or current technology.

I mention my keywords 2-3 times in my article in a natural non spammy way. 1 time in the first paragraph.

I used my keywords in my title.

I followed basic SEO principles for page layout: meta, file name, H1 tags etc.

I triple checked my spelling and never used foul language.

I use title and alt tags for accessibility reasons (Google positively weights this).

I generously provide links to sites of interest woven within my article. (this too!)

I submitted my article to Digg (see: Movable Type Digg Link)

I submitted to the top 25 article submission sites with Article Post Robot.

I also should mention that duplicate content has never been an issue for me when submitting articles, but this is always a potential risk, but more of a long term after thought. Be sure to publish your original article on your website FIRST and always make it clear in your article where the piece originated – like in the bio portion of your submission for example. If you use copyscape keep an eye on things that way.
For now, the above method works extremely well and is quite simple to pull off when using a solid submission tool. The reward for me was a sustainable 500% increase in traffic for some competitive terms. Likely the fact you even found this article is more testimony that this stuff actually works.

Tips On How To Improve Your Website

2007-11-29T17:33:00.000-08:00

If you own a website, you are paying for web hosting every month, but are you getting the most out of it? Most people just have a lot of stagnant pages sitting up in cyberspace and are not making the most of them. This is a list of some things you can do to improve your website in cyberspace. The first thing you need to start doing is keep track of how many hits you are getting to your website. How can you track the effectiveness of website changes if you don't know where your visitors are coming from.
You need to have things for people to do on your website. If you're selling software, you could offer a free e-book on how to use the software, for example. You could have an instructional video for them to watch. If you're a musician in a band or a voice over actor, you could offer one free audio download and keep on adding a new download every month.

You need to have a good linking structure in your website and make sure that there are no broken links. Every page of your website should link to each other. Be careful about what websites you link to also, because you might throw away a sale to a competitor.
Offer to send your visitors a free newsletter. When they sign up, ask for more information than just their e-mail address. Ask them where they live, what they do, and what their interests are. It's really up to you to determine what you should be asking. Just be careful, asking to much information can drive them away. By doing this you will find out valuable information about the people who visit your website and are interested in your business. There are companies that provide newsletter services for you, so no knowledge of programming is required. You just need to sign up with a newsletter service. Their are also companies that will provide shopping cart services for your websites so you don't have to spend time programming this either or paying someone to do it. Shopping carts will not necessarily keep track of who purchased what items, so it might be best to pay to have a programmer design your site so that you can know when someone is a repeat customer. This is the kind of customization Amazon.com has.
You need to provide fresh content daily that is of value to your website visitors. And have sections that are updated regularly, at least twice monthly. People will get bored and not come back to your website if they always see the same content.
A new way to provide fresh daily content is blogging. You can set up as many blogs as you want for free and they are very popular with people who surf the internet. Another popular thing to do is to provide topic specific news updates. People will start to see you as an authority on a certain subject if you provide regular updates online.

Just keep updating your website with fresh content. The search engines will love it, and people will too! Soon you will have repeat customers coming back for more. Start today and do something to spice up your website.

Algorithms and Programming

2007-11-17T14:22:00.000-08:00

2. You’re given an array containing both positive and negative integers and required to find the subarray with the largest sum (O(N) a la KBL). Write a routine in C for the above.

3. Given an array of size N in which every number is between 1 and N, determine if there are any duplicates in it. You are allowed to destroy the array if you like. [ I ended up giving about 4 or 5 different solutions for this, each supposedly better than the others ].

4. Write a routine to draw a circle (x ** 2 + y ** 2 = r ** 2) without making use of any floating point computations at all. [ This one had me stuck for quite some time and I first gave a solution that did have floating point computations ].

5. Given only putchar (no sprintf, itoa, etc.) write a routine putlong that prints out an unsigned long in decimal. [ I gave the obvious solution of taking % 10 and / 10, which gives us the decimal value in reverse order. This requires an array since we need to print it out in the correct order. The interviewer wasn’t too pleased and asked me to give a solution which didn’t need the array ].

6. Give a one-line C expression to test whether a number is a power of 2. [No loops allowed - it’s a simple test.]

7. Given an array of characters which form a sentence of words, give an efficient algorithm to reverse the order of the words (not characters) in it.

8. How many points are there on the globe where by walking one mile south, one mile east and one mile north you reach the place where you started.

9. Give a very good method to count the number of ones in a 32 bit number. (caution: looping through testing each bit is not a solution).

10. What are the different ways to say, the value of x can be either a 0 or a 1. Apparently the if then else solution has a jump when written out in assembly. if (x == 0) y=0 else y =x There is a logical, arithmetic and a datastructure soln to the above problem.

11. Reverse a linked list.

12. Insert in a sorted list

13. In a X’s and 0’s game (i.e. TIC TAC TOE) if you write a program for this give a gast way to generate the moves by the computer. I mean this should be the fasteset way possible. The answer is that you need to store all possible configurations of the board and the move that is associated with that. Then it boils down to just accessing the right element and getting the corresponding move for it. Do some analysis and do some more optimization in storage since otherwise it becomes infeasible to get the required storage in a DOS machine.

14. I was given two lines of assembly code which found the absolute value of a number stored in two’s complement form. I had to recognize what the code was doing. Pretty simple if you know some assembly and some fundaes on number representation.

Now you are given an array of a characters (both ASCII and Kanji) and, an index into the array. The index points to the start of some character. Now you need to write a function to do a backspace (i.e. delete the character before the given index).

21. Delete an element from a doubly linked list.

22. Write a function to find the depth of a binary tree.

23. Given two strings S1 and S2. Delete from S2 all those characters which occur in S1 also and finally create a clean S2 with the relevant characters deleted.

24. Assuming that locks are the only reason due to which deadlocks can occur in a system. What would be a foolproof method of avoiding deadlocks in the system.

25. Reverse a linked list.

Ans: Possible answers -

iterative loop
curr->next = prev;
prev = curr;
curr = next;
next = curr->next
endloop

recursive reverse(ptr)
if (ptr->next == NULL)
return ptr;
temp = reverse(ptr->next);
temp->next = ptr;
return ptr;
end

26. Write a small lexical analyzer - interviewer gave tokens. expressions like "a*b" etc.

32. A version of the "There are three persons X Y Z, one of which always lies".. etc..

33. There are 3 ants at 3 corners of a triangle, they randomly start moving towards another corner.. what is the probability that they don’t collide.

34. Write an efficient algo and C code to shuffle a pack of cards.. this one was a feedback process until we came up with one with no extra storage.

35. The if (x == 0) y = 0 etc..

36. Some more bitwise optimization at assembly level

37. Some general questions on Lex, Yacc etc.

38. Given an array t[100] which contains numbers between 1..99. Return the duplicated value. Try both O(n) and O(n-square).

39. Given an array of characters. How would you reverse it. ? How would you reverse it without using indexing in the array.

40. GIven a sequence of characters. How will you convert the lower case characters to upper case characters. ( Try using bit vector - sol given in the C lib -typec.h)

41. Fundas of RPC.

42. Given a linked list which is sorted. How will u insert in sorted way.

43. Given a linked list How will you reverse it.

1. Given a rectangular (cuboidal for the puritans) cake with a rectangular piece removed (any size or orientation), how would you cut the remainder of the cake into two equal halves with one straight cut of a knife?

ANS. Join the centers of the original and the removed rectangle. It works for cuboids too!

2. There are 3 baskets. one of them have apples, one has oranges only and the other has mixture of apples and oranges. The labels on their baskets always lie. (i.e. if the label says oranges, you are sure that it doesn’t have oranges only,it could be a mixture) The task is to pick one basket and pick only one fruit from it and then correctly label all the three baskets.

HINT. There are only two combinations of distributions in which ALL the baskets have wrong labels. By picking a fruit from the one labeled MIXTURE, it is possible to tell what the other two baskets have.

3. You have 8 balls. One of them is defective and weighs less than others. You have a balance to measure balls against each other. In 2 weighings how do you find the defective one?

Answer from Uday Venkat: weigh three balls against another three balls. if both weigh the same , then just weighing the remain two (one against one) will show the lighter ball. if the sets of three do not weigh equal, then weigh any two balls in the lighter set, one against the other . the balance will show if the lighter one is on the balance,if not the remaining one is the lighter one.

Common GD Mistakes

2007-11-17T13:59:00.000-08:00

Here's a list of the most common mistakes made at group discussions:

Emotional outburst

Rashmi was offended when one of the male participants in a group discussion made a statement on women generally being submissive while explaining his point of view. When Rashmi finally got an opportunity to speak, instead of focusing on the topic, she vented her anger by accusing the other candidate for being a male chauvinist and went on to defend women in general.

What Rashmi essentially did was to

• Deviate from the subject

• Treat the discussion as a forum to air her own views.

• Lose objectivity and make personal attacks.

Her behaviour would have been perceived as immature and demotivating to the rest of the team.

Quality Vs Quantity

Gautam believed that the more he talked, the more likely he was to get through the GD. So, he interrupted other people at every opportunity. He did this so often that the other candidates got together to prevent him from participating in the rest of the discussion.

• Assessment is not only on your communication skills but also on your ability to be a team player.

• Evaluation is based on quality, and not on quantity. Your contribution must be relevant.

• The mantra is "Contributing meaningfully to the team's success." Domination is frowned upon.

Egotism Showing off

Krishna was happy to have got a group discussion topic he had prepared for. So, he took pains to project his vast knowledge of the topic. Every other sentence of his contained statistical data - "20% of companies; 24.27% of parliamentarians felt that; I recently read in a Jupiter Report that..." and so on so forth. Soon, the rest of the team either laughed at him or ignored his attempts to enlighten them as they perceived that he was cooking up the data.

• Exercise restraint in anything. You will end up being frowned upon if you attempt showing-off your knowledge.

• Facts and figures need not validate all your statements.

• Its your analysis and interpretation that are equally important - not just facts and figures.

• You might be appreciated for your in-depth knowledge. But you will fail miserably in your people skills.

Such a behavior indicates how self-centered you are and highlights your inability to work in an atmosphere where different opinions are expressed.

Get noticed - But for the right reasons

Srikumar knew that everyone would compete to initiate the discussion. So as soon as the topic - "Discuss the negative effects of India joining the WTO" - was read out, he began talking. In his anxiety to be the first to start speaking, he did not hear the word "negative" in the topic. He began discussing the ways in which the country had benefited by joining WTO, only to be stopped by the evaluator, who then corrected his mistake.

• False starts are extremely expensive. They cost you your admission. It is very important to listen and understand the topic before you air your opinions.

• Spending a little time analyzing the topic may provide you with insights which others may not have thought about. Use a pen and paper to jot down your ideas.

• Listen! It gives you the time to conceptualize and present the information in a better manner.

Some mistakes are irreparable. Starting off the group discussion with a mistake is one such mistake, unless you have a great sense of humor.

Managing one's insecurities

Sumati was very nervous. She thought that some of the other candidates were exceptionally good. Thanks to her insecurity, she contributed little to the discussion. Even when she was asked to comment on a particular point, she preferred to remain silent.

• Your personality is also being evaluated. Your verbal and non verbal cues are being read.

• Remember, you are the participant in the GD; not the evaluator. So, rather than evaluating others and your performance, participate in the discussion.

• Your confidence level is being evaluated. Decent communication skills with good confidence is a must to crack the GDs.

Focus on your strengths and do not spend too much time thinking about how others are superior or inferior to you. It is easy to pick up these cues from your body language.

Knowledge is strength. A candidate with good reading habits has more chances of success. In other words, sound knowledge on different topics like politics, finance, economy, science and technology is helpful.

Power to convince effectively is another quality that makes you stand out among others.

Clarity in speech and expression is yet another essential quality.

If you are not sure about the topic of discussion, it is better not to initiate. Lack of knowledge or wrong approach creates a bad impression. Instead, you might adopt the wait and watch attitude. Listen attentively to others, may be you would be able to come up with a point or two later.

A GD is a formal occasion where slang is to avoided.

A GD is not a debating stage. Participants should confine themselves to expressing their viewpoints. In the second part of the discussion candidates can exercise their choice in agreeing, disagreeing or remaining neutral.

Language use should be simple, direct and straight forward.

Don't interrupt a speaker when the session is on. Try to score by increasing your size, not by cutting others short.

Maintain rapport with fellow participants. Eye contact plays a major role. Non-verbal gestures, such as listening intently or nodding while appreciating someone's viewpoint speak of you positively.

Communicate with each and every candidate present. While speaking don't keep looking at a single member. Address the entire group in such a way that everyone feels you are speaking to him or her.

Tips to Improve Your IQ

2007-11-15T16:59:00.000-08:00

What is IQ?

A General Intelligence Quotient Score (IQ Score) is a statistically derived number which indicates relative and comparative abilities that can be used to obtain academic skills and knowledge.

Some of these measurements can be reliable predictors of an individual's academic achievements.

Though an IQ test measures only a few of a humans mental abilities, these few abilities are targeted for measurement, because they are well known to positively correlate highly to many other human abilities. How high you score in one of these measured abilities, will strongly indicate how high you would be expected to score on the unmeasured abilities. So here are some tips to Improve Your IQ....

Brain exercises.
Math is a great exercise for your brain. When you see an object, think of something it can be used for, apart from what it is usually used for. If you regularly exercise your brain you develop your neurons and can stop or delay the process of mental deterioration that age causes.

Read faster.
Speed reading increases you ability to understand. But many people believe it doesn’t help. Speed reading helps you learn faster and more. A tip: when you scan always read the first and last stanzas because all the crux lies in these contents. Pick up any article and test this tip.

Work out
Exercising regularly enhances the power of your brain. Any regime that is good for your physical fitness boosts brain power too. Latest research has shown that an exercise as short as a 10 minute aerobics is sufficient to activate your brain. Hence, if you want to freshen your brain, just climb up and down your stairs a few times.

Rosemary
Many people claim that this herb has effect on the brain. No research has been done though. Just sniffing seems to stimulate your brain. It is a very safe technique, no side effects hence no harm in trying it out.

Smart learning
Always make it a habit when you learn something new. Always have some question to ask for each session of learning that you take. Take short breaks, because things at the starting and ending of a class last in your memory for a longer time.

Have conducive surroundings
Congested places and surroundings can affect your thought process. Have a conducive environment to do any mental task. Simple techniques like deep breathing, stretching can help you gear up before you begin the mental task. Always have time to divert your mind.

Creatine
Creatine, is found in meat and is used by sportspersons to help become muscular. Research has shown results which say that creatine also is beneficial to the brain. Proceedings B, a Royal Society journal has published the results. These results say that a remarkable improvement in the working memory and intelligence level was observed when a person takes creatine. The recommended dosage is 5 grams in a day. This is what most sportspersons take and can be found in 4 pounds of meet.

Talking
Talking, if done judiciously, will help you clear your understanding about things. Try to explain a concept about which you yourself do not have a clear idea. You will notice that this clears up your understanding to a large extent.

Use brain wave tools
This is the latest tool. These brain wave entertainment tools help you a lot. They can relax you quickly and some of them can make your brain start analyzing things in a different manner. You can try BrainWave stimulator software.

Indulge in what you love to do
This reduces stress and rejuvenates your brain. But it should be not something like watching TV. It should be an activity in which your are fully involved like playing scrabble or other similar games. When you indulge in what you love to do, you tend to worry less and this clears up your thought process.

Be positive
Be confident about yourself and you will become smart. Affirmations will be of great help. Always remember things you succeeded in. Note down all the creative ideas that come up in your brain. Note all things you do in a smart ways and you will grow smarter.

Follow creative people’s methods.
Always be in the company of those who are smart and productive. Observe them and do what they do. This is the basic principle behind neuron linguistic programming. But be cautious, when anyone of them advise you. Usually successful people don’t fully understand the reason of their success. Remember to follow what they do, not what they say!

Avoid getting into debates
Arguments always arouse your ego. When you are defending your view, you bring ego and not logic. This adversely affects your brain. The more you argue, the more you destabilize your brain. Arguments and debates can be value adding, but only if ego is not involved. Once ego enters, all logic fails. This certainly doesn’t help your IQ.

Avoid allergic food items.
Some food items like wheat, corn, peanuts and diary products may cause some minor allergies. Be observant to notice such effects. Some people face digestion problems and even brain fog by eating such items.

Eat fish.
It has been proven that consuming fish speeds up your brain and helps you focus for longer durations. Research has depicted a strong relation between lowering of depression and fish consumption. For instance, Japan (where fish is the staple food) has far less instances of depression than US.

Java Questions

2007-10-28T04:12:00.000-07:00

Java, the language- is a high-level object-oriented programming language, influenced in various ways by C, C++, and Smalltalk, with ideas borrowed from other languages as well (see O'Reilly's History of Programming Languages). Its syntax was designed to be familiar to those familiar with C-descended "curly brace" languages, but with arguably stronger OO principles than those found in C++, static typing of objects, and a fairly rigid system of exceptions that require every method in the call stack to either handle exceptions or declare their ability to throw them. Garbage collection is assumed, sparing the developer from having to free memory used by obsolete objects.
One of Java's more controversial aspects--widely accepted at the time of its release but increasingly criticized today--is its incomplete object-orientation. Specifically, Java primitives such as int, char, boolean, etc. are not objects, and require a completely different treatment from the developer: as int is not a class, you cannot subclass and declare new methods on it, cannot pass it to a method that expects a generic Object, and so on. The inclusion of primitives increases Java performance, but at the arguable expense of code clarity, as anyone who's had to work with the so-called "wrapper classes" (Integer, Character, and Boolean) will attest. Java 5.0 introduces an "autoboxing" scheme to eliminate many uses of the wrapper classes, but in some ways it obscures what is really going on.

Database Questions.......

2007-10-28T01:05:00.000-07:00

A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. In one view, databases can be classified according to types of content: bibliographic, full-text, numeric, and images.
databases are sometimes classified according to their organizational approach. The most prevalent approach is the relational database, a tabular database in which data is defined so that it can be reorganized and accessed in a number of different ways. A distributed database is one that can be dispersed or replicated among different points in a network. An object-oriented programming database is one that is congruent with the data defined in object classes and subclasses....

Data Warehousing Interview Questions

2007-10-28T00:46:00.000-07:00

A Data warehouse is a repository of integrated information, available for queries and analysis. Data and information are extracted from heterogeneous sources as they are generated. This makes it much easier and more efficient to run queries over data that originally came from different sources". Another definition for data warehouse is: " A data warehouse is a logical collection of information gathered from many different operational databases used to create business intelligence that supports business analysis activities and decision-making tasks, primarily, a record of an enterprise's past transactional and operational information, stored in a database designed to favour efficient data analysis and reporting (especially OLAP)". Generally, data warehousing is not meant for current "live" data, although 'virtual' or 'point-to-point' data warehouses can access operational data. A 'real' data warehouse is generally preferred to a virtual DW because stored data has been validated and is set up to provide reliable results to common types of queries used in a business....

Shoot Your Interview Now!!!!!!!!

2007-10-13T14:00:00.000-07:00

Do not see interviews as the chance, think it as an opportunity to present you to a company. It is a chance for you to prove yourself in front of the interviewer, so you should come with full preparation of questions you need answers. You can search for the company profile. Also gather the latest information on that company. If want all information about the company then a good option is to check their website which may have more background information. If you want to do well at the interview, you will need to convince the interviewer that you are technically qualified to do the job.

The job interview tips covered most job interview tips and also covered lots of things which we have to avoid during interview.

Job Interview Tips:-

Some job interview tips are given below, please go through it, that will help you a lot.

Preparation and confidence

Preparation and confidence are very important tips. Good preparation always creates confidence. So the important thing to an interview is to be well prepared. In this you have to consider two things:
You must prepare yourself practically for the interview.
You have to gather information which is useful during the interview.

Checklist

While going to interview you must consider the following things:
1. You have to confirm about the time, date and location of the interview and name of interviewee where appropriate.
2. You have to plan to get there no earlier than half an hour before the interview time.
3. You must ready with your dress which is professional.
4. Concentrate on the interview at the interview.
5. If you are asked to bring certificates, references etc., get them ready before the day. Your interview letter must be with you.
6. On arrival ensure the receptionist knows you are there.

Be on time!

Public transport may be useless if the traffic is heavy. Always keep in mind that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. So be on time at the particular location of interview.
Also if you are there so early, you can wait nearby cafe of shop. And if you are going to be late, then best option is call them.

Be Prepared!

Preparation means not only preparation of your syllabus etc. but also look at the company's website and learn something about the company before you attend your interview.

Write down and practice possible questions!

If you collect the job interview sample questions and practice for it then it will make easy to remember when you get to the interview. Use the third person when talking about the job. Avoid sounding as though you assume the job is yours.
It is fine to ask about the package on offer and accommodation - living in and living out are particularly relevant. Do not forget to find out if the company will guarantee a resort or chalet - many will only allocate you a country. You could also try a fewer more testing questions such as how they differentiate themselves from their competitors or what they think the toughest/hardest part of the job is.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

First keep in mind that you never the second chance to make a first impression so be careful. Some points are here to remember:
Smile is one of the thing which may matter in your impression. Good smile always please people.
Dressing also an important thing. You should be in professional dress. And must be looking formal.

Do not forget for firm handshake.

Eye contact without glaring is showing your confidence.

Do not talk too much!

Always remember that communication is two-way things so give them a chance. Also don't interrupt to interviewer when he/she is talking. Give him/her full chance to talk. One common mistake candidates make when interviewing is talking too much. It is important to listen to the question asked and answer that question. Keep your answers to two to three minutes at the most. When you limit your time, you tend to stay more focused. It is very easy to stray off the subject and ramble about things irrelevant to the job if your answer is too long.

Be enthusiastic and positive!

During interview always enthusiastic. Do not say bad points for the previous employers. Focus on positive achievements and views.

Check in During Interviews

Your initial interview answers should be brief. But some of your best stories may take time to detail, then after two minutes ask for permission to go on. You may say something like, "Now I have described about my project, would you like to hear about my role in detail?"

Answer Briefly

The best interviews have a give and take atmosphere. To do this, you need to ask questions and try to draw out your interviewer rather than talking about yourself nonstop. When it comes to talking during an interview, sometimes less is more. A general rule is you should speak one-third of the time and definitely no more than half of the time. When it is your turn to speak, do not hesitate to talk about yourself.

First Comes the Phone

Now a days telephone screening is becoming very common. So you need to be prepared for the phone to ring at any time. These screenings may be for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your answers and fit for the job. it is helpful if you have thought about questions likely to be asked during the screening and prepared your answers.

Take a spare photo and CV with you!

It may happen that the interviewer wants your resume and photo. Your interviewer won't be expecting it so you will impress them. It also helps them remember you after the interview. So always keep a spare photo and resume with you while going to interview.

Look Them in the Eyes

Eye contact is showing your confidence. Eye contact is one of the most important aspects of nonverbal communication and can make a significant difference in how you present yourself. If you look away when speaking to someone, you are viewed as lacking confidence or interest. So always answer the question with eye contact to interviewer.

Look Better, Feel Better

If you want to spruce up your appearance for the interview but can not afford new clothes, consider altering an outfit you already have by pairing it with a different shirt, tie, blouse or accessory. Even on a tight budget, you can find some real bargains out there. Think about what you need before you go out shopping. Outlet stores and resale shops offer some great treasures. For better or worse, looks can make a difference.

Think of an Interview as a First Date

Instead of the Inquisition, think of a job interview as a first date: you are both trying to figure out if there is a match. This mindset proffers many advantages. You come off as curious, not desperate, you do not assume that too-formal, phony-appearing job-seeker persona, you talk about what you want to talk about instead of just passively getting bombarded with the employer's probes and you are more likely to ask questions during the interview. Those questions will help you assess if you really want the job. Treat the interview as a first date, and you will both be better informed when deciding whether you should hook up.

Bring Up a Weakness

In an interview, bring up a weakness before you are asked for one. For example, "I really need to work on my leadership skills. I am a good worker and totally competent, but sometimes I lack the confidence to stand up and take a leadership position." This will help you a lot as you want to improve yourself.

Get the Info

Informational interviews are a great way to get leads and information regarding company. It is important that the person you contact understands you are seeking information not a job. Be prepared when you ask for an appointment to say what you are looking for and why you want to talk to this person. At the informational interview, have a prepared list of questions. At the end, ask if the person has any recommendations of others you could speak with.

Virtual Thanks

You can send follow-up letters through email if this is the way you and the potential employer have been communicating all along.

Attitude Adjustment

It is difficult to remain upbeat in a tough job market. Isolating you and waiting for the phone to ring is the worst way to handle negative thoughts. When you start feeling down, take steps to turn your thinking around. Go for a walk, or do something fun. It may be just what you need to feel relaxed and at ease. Getting together with friends and having a support system will help you to laugh and keep going.

Explain Why You Left

Follow these guidelines when interviewers ask, "Why did you leave your company?" Carefully describe the reason for your departure, and do not go into details unless asked. Provide references to support your reasons for leaving and job performance. Stay with the facts of what happened, what you did, how you felt and what you learned. Then describe how you will handle things differently in the future.

Sell Yourself

Interviewing is about selling yourself. The product you are selling is you. Give them reasons to buy. Tell them what you can do for them. Emphasize what you can bring to the company, department and position. Convince them that your product is better than the competition's

Talking Salary

Timing is everything in the interview. Let them bring up the subject of money. If you are asked what your salary expectations are too early in the process, just say you would rather postpone that discussion until you have more information about the position.

Do not forget to listen

Listening is one of the most underused interview skills. Most candidates are so nervous about answering interview questions correctly that they forget to listen. Follow these tips:
Listen through eye contact.
Listen with nonverbal expressions.
Listen until the speaker is finished.
Do not interrupt.

Ask the power questions

In the earlier you can ask these questions:
What are you most hoping to find in the person you hire?
What would be my first priorities on the job?

it is OK to be nervous

Not only is it OK to be nervous about an interview, but it is essential for you to accept how you feel. Telling yourself you should feel differently than you do is unrealistic and just makes you feel bad about yourself. What's the worst that can happen at an interview? For many, it would be not getting an offer. Did you ever think that maybe the job wasn't right for you? Try to look at the process as a learning experience.

Put up with rejection?

If you are rejected from the company, you may feel hurt, angry or fed up. Instead of being stuck in feeling rejected, take back the power by staying proactive. If you really wanted to work for that particular company, sit down and write a letter. Remind them of all the positive points you could bring to the organization. Let them know you are still interested in working for the company if something should change or open up.

Face the feedback

If you ask for feedback from an interviewer, be prepared to hear things that could be upsetting. You should listen carefully, and take notes to refer to and react to. Do not argue or defend yourself. At last do not forget to thank the interviewer. Then, take the advice and think about changing some techniques to improve on your next interview.

Follow the interviewer

During the interview, your interviewer is giving you information that can guide you on how to behave during the meeting. Observe your interviewer's style. Listen very carefully, and let him/her know that you have been listening by asking good questions and making good comments. Answer questions by providing the information asked for.

Emotional preparation

Preparing emotionally for the interview is also important. The right mood helps you perform at your best. Try out following points for preparing emotionally:
Get moving that means go for a walk, run, exercise, meditate, do yoga, stretch, dance.
Sing your favorite song while driving to the interview.
Repeat an inspirational phrase aloud that's meaningful for you

Preparing to meet the employer

The interview is not the time to get to know about the post or the employers business. It is a chance for you and the employer to get to know one another.
Gather information about your employer before you are interviewed like what are their current projects, what other interests do they have? etc.
You should know job description, or ask someone in a similar post. Otherwise ring the company to clarify.
Keep in mind that the employer is interested in you as a person, your experiences and your opinions do take the time to sit down and think about you, who you are and what you have achieved.
Remember the one thing that your CV must be with you and make notes about your work record and what you have achieved. Make notes and prepare and rehearse sound bites about yourself.

Ask Questions

There is always the opportunity to ask them questions at the end of the interview, remember the interview is a two-way process, you need to be sure you want to join them. Try to concentrate on issues, which are both important to you and combine an apparent interest in the company. Write your questions down prior to the interview and take them with you.

Be honest!

Be honest with every question. No need to lying about your background and/or skills. If you get caught then you will definitely out. Job interviews are about matching needs, if there is not a good match, then there is no chance of job.

Check your CV for possible gaps!

If there is any gap between your academic then make sure you know how you are going to explain time gaps on your CV.

Presentation

Dressing is also important aspect at the time of interview. Dressing should be appropriate for the post and the company. Try to get information about what the company would expect from employees. What would be appropriate for a building company is very different for a public relations agency. Be well-groomed and clean and above all try to look confident.

Mind it before your Interview.

2007-10-13T08:56:00.000-07:00

Do not see interviews as the chance, think it as an opportunity to present you to a company. It is a chance for you to prove yourself in front of the interviewer, so you should come with full preparation of questions you need answers
You can search for the company profile. Also gather the latest information on that company. If want all information about the company then a good option is to check their website which may have more background information. If you want to do well at the interview, you will need to convince the interviewer that you are technically qualified to do the job
The job interview tips covered most job interview tips and also covered lots of things which we have to avoid during interview..........

Some job interview tips are given below, please go through it, that will help you a lot

Some job interview tips are given below, please go through it, that will help you

1:- Preparation and confidence:-

Preparation and confidence are very important tips. Good preparation always creates confidence. So the important thing to an interview is to be well prepared. In this you have to consider two things:
You must prepare yourself practically for the interview.
You have to gather information which is useful during the interview..

2:- Checklist:-

While going to interview you must consider the following things:
1. You have to confirm about the time, date and location of the interview and name of interviewee where appropriate.
2. You have to plan to get there no earlier than half an hour before the interview time.
3. You must ready with your dress which is professional.
4. Concentrate on the interview at the interview.
5. If you are asked to bring certificates, references etc., get them ready before the day. Your interview letter must be with you.
6. On arrival ensure the receptionist knows you are there.

2. Be on time!
Public transport may be useless if the traffic is heavy. Always keep in mind that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. So be on time at the particular location of interview.
Also if you are there so early, you can wait nearby cafe of shop. And if you are going to be late, then best option is call them.

3. Be Prepared!
Preparation means not only preparation of your syllabus etc. but also look at the company's website and learn something about the company before you attend your interview.

4. You never get a second chance to make a first impression!
First keep in mind that you never the second chance to make a first impression so be careful. Some points are here to remember:

Smile is one of the thing which may matter in your impression. Good smile always please people.

Dressing also an important thing. You should be in professional dress. And must be looking formal.

Do not forget for firm handshake.
Eye contact without glaring is showing your confidence.
Do not talk too much!
Always remember that communication is two-way things so give them a chance. Also don't interrupt to interviewer when he/she is talking. Give him/her full chance to talk.
One common mistake candidates make when interviewing is talking too much. It is important to listen to the question asked and answer that question. Keep your answers to two to three minutes at the most. When you limit your time, you tend to stay more focused. It is very easy to stray off the subject and ramble about things irrelevant to the job if your answer is too long.

8. Be enthusiastic and positive!
During interview always enthusiastic. Do not say bad points for the previous employers. Focus on positive achievements and views.

9. Look Them in the Eyes
Eye contact is showing your confidence. Eye contact is one of the most important aspects of nonverbal communication and can make a significant difference in how you present yourself. If you look away when speaking to someone, you are viewed as lacking confidence or interest. So always answer the question with eye contact to interviewer.

10. Look Better, Feel Better
If you want to spruce up your appearance for the interview but can not afford new clothes, consider altering an outfit you already have by pairing it with a different shirt, tie, blouse or accessory. Even on a tight budget, you can find some real bargains out there. Think about what you need before you go out shopping. Outlet stores and resale shops offer some great treasures. For better or worse, looks can make a difference.
Talk about specific achievements!
Interviewers like to know how you felt about a particular success. Some will ask for specific examples of things you have done that you are particularly proud of; how you solved problems; how you learned - and improved - from difficult situations.

Think of an Interview as a First Date
Instead of the Inquisition, think of a job interview as a first date: you are both trying to figure out if there is a match. This mindset proffers many advantages. You come off as curious, not desperate, you do not assume that too-formal, phony-appearing job-seeker persona, you talk about what you want to talk about instead of just passively getting bombarded with the employer's probes and you are more likely to ask questions during the interview. Those questions will help you assess if you really want the job. Treat the interview as a first date, and you will both be better informed when deciding whether you should hook up.

Bring Up a Weakness
In an interview, bring up a weakness before you are asked for one. For example, "I really need to work on my leadership skills. I am a good worker and totally competent, but sometimes I lack the confidence to stand up and take a leadership position."
This will help you a lot as you want to improve yourself.

Get the Info
Informational interviews are a great way to get leads and information regarding company. It is important that the person you contact understands you are seeking information not a job. Be prepared when you ask for an appointment to say what you are looking for and why you want to talk to this person. At the informational interview, have a prepared list of questions. At the end, ask if the person has any recommendations of others you could speak with.

Prove What You Could Do
Always put a positive spin on your answers to difficult questions. If you lack a particular skill or do not know a certain computer program, be sure to emphasize how quickly you learn. Give an example of a time when you were able to get up to speed in a similar situation. Companies are interested in people who can hit the ground running.

Talking Salary
Timing is everything in the interview. Let them bring up the subject of money. If you are asked what your salary expectations are too early in the process, just say you would rather postpone that discussion until you have more information about the position..

Do not forget to listen
Listening is one of the most underused interview skills. Most candidates are so nervous about answering interview questions correctly that they forget to listen. Follow these tips:
Listen through eye contact.
Listen with nonverbal expressions.
Listen until the speaker is finished.
Do not interrupt.

Follow the interviewer
During the interview, your interviewer is giving you information that can guide you on how to behave during the meeting. Observe your interviewer's style. Listen very carefully, and let him/her know that you have been listening by asking good questions and making good comments. Answer questions by providing the information asked for.

Be honest!
Be honest with every question. No need to lying about your background and/or skills. If you get caught then you will definitely out. Job interviews are about matching needs, if there is not a good match, then there is no chance of job.

Check your CV for possible gaps!
If there is any gap between your academic then make sure you know how you are going to explain time gaps on your CV.

IT Interview Tips

2007-10-13T07:24:00.000-07:00

Practicing for the interview

You have sent out hundreds of resumes and finally a Human Resource person calls to schedule a time for you to come in for a face to face interview. This is a great company, and you think you are perfect for the job. Now, you must demonstrate that to the hiring authority you are perfect for the position. Here are some pointers to keep in mind when going in for the interview practicing for the interview means practicing several behaviors not just answering questions. You must dress well, watch your body language and posture, practice your manners and eye contact as well as practice answering questions correctly, smoothly, and with confidence. The practice questions below, in one form or another, account for a large percentage of interview questions. With each question, you are given a series of choices as to how you might answer the question. When you select an answer, you will learn whether your answer is correct-and why. Answering these questions will help you polish your interviewing techniques. The questions and answers in this exercise are generic and, in many cases, must be tailored to your individual situation. Still, the logic behind the answer remains essentially the same..
Do not go in attempting to "wing" it. Keep in mind there are lots of competitors for the job, and you will only have this opportunity to impress the hiring authority. Research and know the company, their history, products, services and reputation .prepare answers to questions that will likely come up, like "What is your biggest weakness?" "What is your greatest failure?" "Describe your best and worse boss?" "Tell me
Something about yourself?" "Why did you leave your last job?" "How can you contribute to this company in this job?"
There will likely be a longer list of questions, each a potential landmine that can eliminate you from the competition. Keep your answers short and to the point. Do not ramble. Always be honest and avoid negative statements. Wear your best suit - The first impressions of a candidate are lasting. It is better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. Your appearance will demonstrate that you are taking the initiative. Go out of
Your way to make a good impression. Even if you never wear a suit to work, even if it is a production job, the interviewer will be pleased by your effort to impress.

Future of Information technology

2007-10-07T07:42:00.000-07:00

Thinking about the future can help you shape it. Thinking too much about the future can make you spacey. By the year 2019, thanks to information technology (IT), humans will have largely overcome the limits of our humanity. We will have found cures for the major diseases that kill 95 percent of us in the developed world. By 2029, we will become godlike—tiny computer chips embedded into our bodies will stop disease and reverse aging, ever expanding our lifespans.

To be fair, computers are indeed amazing machines. PCs allow you to communicate with far more people than a phone or letter. They help you write far more efficiently than a typewriter or pen and paper. They make it possible to keep track of people and things far more easily than a roster or list. They let you budget, forecast, and plan far more effectively than a calculator or table. And they make education far more compelling than words and pictures on paper. between July and December of 2005, Accenture commissioned its researchers to deeply analyze the entire IT landscape and develop a vision for the future of information technology. The researchers analyzed more than 150 technologies and spent more than 10,000 man hours to generate 42 predictions about the future of information technologyThe purpose of the exercise was to re-evaluate our own approach to R&D and to help our clients prioritize their investments in and use of technology innovation to drive business performance. The team concluded that developments in four major technological areas—intelligent device and sensor networks, analytics, human to computer interaction, and new approaches to system building and integration—will dominate the future of information technology..........
