Leaving a powerful impression is important because you will be able to create tons of contacts and opportunities.
Handshake
Handshake is one of the oldest and most effective way to greet someone. A handshake relies on eye and mouth coordination so have a cheerful smile and friendly eyes. A powerful and firm handshake will leave a great impression.
Walking
How you walk can also leave a good or bad impression . Walking properly and confidently is a great way to show that you are successful (perception!) and full of confidence. Walking differently and uniquely can also leave a lasting impression although they might think you are weird.

Electronic Resumes
Electronic Resumes
An electronic resume is simply your resume in a format that can be sent over e-mail or the internet. The advantage to having an electronic resume is simple. You can respond via e-mail or the web to job openings posted all over the world. No faxing or mailing is necessary.
If your resume is on a computer or floppy diskette, you already have it in electronic format. While it is true that most e-mail systems can accommodate document attachments like MSword, WordPerfect etc. It is not always true that every person or organization to whom you would like to send such a document is willing to receive in that format. Plain text ( also called as ASCII text or MS-DOS text and recognized by its three letter file extension: .txt, however, is universally accessible and, in many cases, required.
1. Steps to make the electronic resume universally accessible:
Using a standard word processing application, compose a resume as you normally would. Note that plain text format is very basic that it does not recognize formatting such as bullets, bold facing or italicized text. Consider using asterisks (*), plus symbols(+) and capital letters to achieve similar effects. In any case, make sure your resume is legible in the absence of these formatting features.
If the word processing application permits, set your margins at 0 to 65 characters (This means that your longest line, including spaces, exceeds 65 characters before wrapping to a new line). This makes your resume easier to read and, just as importantly, safe to print.
Using the “save” command (or, if you are converting a document from another format, the “save as..” command), save your document as an ASCII or MS-DOS text document. Remember to append .txt extension on to the file name, e.g. “resume.txt”.
2. Include a cover letter and be sure to note where you found the advertisement:
Send the resume with the covering letter in one. You can do this by writing or pasting your cover letter in the space before your resume. You can also send your cover letter as an e-mail message with your electronic resume as a file attachment e.g. “cletter.txt”. Use the job title or job reference number as the subject of your message. Cite any relevant job numbers noted in the advertisement.
3. Important points to be remembered and followed:
v Follow up with an e-mail or phone call a week or so after you submit it.
v Research the company and position
v Search the following: Office locations, Products and services, Customers Competitors, Philosophy, History or Recent news
v Financial info, including salary and stock
v Practice your answer to the common questions
v First you answer your question and ask questions latter (employer)
v Rehearse your interview with a friend for about 10 or 15 minutes
v Prepare your interview materials before you leave, Dress professional, Don’t forget to bring several copies of resumes, notepad and pen
General Tips for Group Discussion
General Tips for Group Discussion
A good level of general awareness will come in handy so that you aren't at a loss of words on certain issues. Understand the topic and analyse it mentally before speaking. Be clear about the purpose and content of your viewpoint. One should be able to communicate his views in an effective manner to everyone. Be clear in speech, audible but not too loud and above all remain confident.
Remember the six C's of effective communication -- Clarity, Completeness, Conciseness, Confidence, Correctness and Courtesy. You should mantain eye contact with all others in the group and not focus on a particular person for he may benefit from that. Be responsive to ideas from other people and seem to be very receptive and open-minded but don't allow others to change your own viewpoint..
Starting the discussion is considered to be good however it isn't that important; what is important is that you speak for a period long enough for you to be able to communicate your viewpoint. Always mantain your calm and never get aggresive. If you haven't been able to talk then one can cut in saying "Excuse me, but what I think is .........." or something of that sort.
Never lose your temper and never attack anyone on a personal front. Your attitude should be one of cooperation and not one of conflict. Don't lose sight of the goal of the discussion. Listen to any criticisms and give them a thought before trying to defend your views.
How is Evaluation Done in a Group Discussion
Winners' skills Group discussion is an important dimension of the selection process. Any institute requires students to work with others for effective functioning. Therefore, people skills are an important aspect of any MBA program.
In today's context, the educational institutes and organizations are interested in team players rather than individual contributors. During the Group Discussion, the panel essentially evaluates the candidate's potential to be a leader and also his/her ability to work in teams. Remember that institutes are typically on the look out for candidates who will inspire to lead and succeed and for that you need to be a good team player.
Here is a sample list of skills assessed during a group discussion:
Leadership skills: Ability to take leadership roles and ability to lead, inspire and carry the team along to help them achieve group's objectives.Example: To be able to initiate the group discussion, or to be able to guide the group especially when the discussion begins losing relevance or try to encourage all members to participate in the discussion.
Communication skills: The participating candidates will be assessed in terms of clarity of thought, expression and aptness of language. One key aspect is listening. It indicates a willingness to accommodate others views. Example: To be able to use simple language and explain concepts clearly so that it is easily understood by all. You actually get negative marks for using esoteric jargons in an attempt to show-off your knowledge.
Interpersonal skills:Is reflected in the ability of the individual to interact with other members of the group in a brief situation. Emotional maturity and balance promotes good interpersonal relationships. The person has to be more people centric and less self-centered.Example: To remain cool even when someone provokes you by with personal comment, ability to remain objective, ability to empathize, non-threatening and more of a team player.
Persuasive skills:Ability to analyze and persuade others to see the problem from multiple perspectives without hurting the group members.Example: While appreciating someone else's point of view, you should be able to effectively communicate your view without overtly hurting the other person.
Problem solving skills:Ability to come out with divergent and offbeat solutions and use one's own creativity.Example: While thinking of solutions, don't be afraid to think of novel solutions. This is a high- risk high-return strategy.
Conceptualizing skills:The ability to grasp the situation, take it from the day to day mundane problem level and apply it to a macro level.Example: At the end of the discussion, you could probably summarize the findings in a few sentences that present the overall perspective. Don't be disheartened if you don't make it after your first group discussion. The best possible preparation for a group discussion is to learn from one's past mistakes...
