Interview preparation- Do's and Don't's

 Do's:

1. Make your mind ready to face any sort of question, that question can be from your background or can be anything else you don't know.

2. Take a chill pill- why to worry? It's just a conversation.

3.Be specific- Whatever question is being asked, stick to the question.

4. Dress and looks- Look like an "officer". For girls, it's not necessary that you wear a saree. Be decent in looks. Be simple and sober.

5. Knowledge is power- Read and retain. Understand things and try to implement as an "officer" in your answers. Read current affairs thoroughly. 

6. Language is not a barrier- As I always say, language is not a hurdle. Speak in the language you are comfortable. 

7. Mirror practice- It definitely helps.

Don't's:

1. Everything under the sun is not to be read. Segregate into following heads:

a). Background- Hometown, education etc.

b). Hobbies

c). Achievements/talents

d). Situation based questions

e). Current affairs 

f). Misc things related to you. 

2. Don't beat around the bush. Answers should not be stretched too long.

3. Don't read too much before the interview.

4. Don't wear anything which makes your interview controversial. 

5. Don't panic even if you don't know the answer to any specific question.

Journey through 2022

  It's, 2022 and just entered a phase called "public service". Yeah, as the name suggests "in the service of public". So, it has lot to do with the people. It all started with a 'tutoring project' on 'how', 'when', 'why' and 'what'. 'How' here meant the way of dealing with things we encounter, 'when' means the right time to deal so that benefit penetrates to the last person(antyodaya), 'why' states the reason to reach out to deprived and needy and 'what' means the benefit itself. This 'tutoring project' or training has held at HCM, RIPA(The training institute for premier services of Rajasthan). Many learnings came across my path directly and indirectly. Many new, young and ignited brains paved my way. People woth similar interests were introduced. First of all, a brick was laid through foundation course with multiple services learning and practising coordination together, giving t...
