Ask MyAeSI

Regularly I get questions from graduates and students of AeSI on very different things but they get buried in my email. So adding this form to collect all the questions at a central place and answer them.

Before typing your questions,please search the blog; maybe the question you are asking is already answered. You can do it from the search field located below or at http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/

Also please don't expect instant response. It might take a day, a week or longer to respond. Sometime, if I don't have answers, I will try my best to forward the query to relevant person in my network who might help you.

Hope this page helps and each one of you will take full advantage of it. Thanks.

Four super simple tricks to help you in your interview.

I shouldn't call them tricks, they are just techniques that anyone can apply to get the maximum out of the interview.

Talk in statements. When asked to talk about yourself and other personal questions, best way to answer is talk in statement. State the facts without any reason or pluff attached to it. think bullet points and state them as that.

For technical questions. Think satellite. Give a general answer first and then go to the specific. For the technical question, get to the basics and built your answer from there. Interviewer will appreciate the thought process even if your answers slightly off mark.

Be good. Be good at one subject that the requirements expect you to be. By good I mean really know that subject. you should be so comfortable with that subject so that you can easily converse in that subject for at least 30 mins non stop. If you cannot, you are not good at that subject.

Be interesting. This is the toughest bit but its has the maximum impact. If you have a passion for something and you have created or done something that you can demonstrate convincingly, you will be interesting.

The good thing of being or thought of interesting is, you don't need to be interesting in only a specific domain or subject. It can be anything under the earth and if you can prove it independently, you can get that interstingness factor.

The first two can be acquired in a short time and effort, but three and four takes time and consistent effort. There is no shortcut. So get started today. Earlier you begin, the better.

Someone I know is going through an interview process and he was kind and generous enough to send me the list of question he was asked in his interviews.

So for the benefit of all, here are the question. For privacy reasons, identifiable data has been stripped and changed.

Yesterday I gave an interview in ABC company  for the post  AB Engineer. I've cleared all the rounds including the one taken by the Managing Director and my final interview is on Saturday. I don't know what will happen but I'll try my best. I'm sharing the interview questions asked by me so that It can be helpful for others through My-AeSI blog. 

Round-1

- I developed good professional relation with the H.R. through LinkedIn so my first round was easy. He just asked me about my educational qualification & career objective. 

Round-2

- Tell me something about yourself ?

- You have done engineering through correspondence mode so how did you manage practicals ?

- Tell me about the projects you have done during academics ?

- What is your career objective  ?

- What is Avionics and what all subjects have you studied in Section-B ?

- You have not made any aircraft related project, all of your projects are of Embedded & Robotics. Why ?

- Tell me about your strength ? 

- What is the role of embedded system in Aircraft ? 

- Where do you want to see yourself in next 5 years ?

- Being an engineer, Why are you doing M.B.A. ? 

Round-3 (With the Managing Director)

- I'm giving you 5 minutes. Let me know about you, your family, education, projects and all in detail. 

- Why are you interested in engineering management ?

- Even though there are thousands unemployed engineers in Bangalore so Why should I recruit you ?

- I'll be investing lots of money on you, projects, clients and all... After 6 months or 1 year, you'll learn the technology and join any other company. Why should I give you this opportunity ?

- How you can contribute to the field and the company ?
- Okay I'm assigning you a task. Have a look on our website, understand what we do ? and so on... and then send an email (letter) to the H.R. on "How can you contribute to this company ?"  If I like your letter, I'll call you for final session and It'll be around 30 minutes discussion. 

I've sent him the forwarded email. I hope I'll get a chance to give final interview. I'm sharing it so that It can be helpful for others.

Hope this helps everybody and don't forget to mention and send your thanks and good luck to the thoughtful guy who shared this information in the first place through the comments. I am sure he will be reading them.

AeSI and Job & other questions

Rahul has left a new comment on your post "Teach and Learn":

1. If modules like DO178B, V&V, LDRA etc are so important to work in Avionics stream then why the hell society still have 8051, Basic Language and all in it's MODIFIED syllabus. 8051 is no longer basic now. Why you people of AeSI Alumni Association don't do anything in this subject ?

2. I've read Himalya Bhaiya's post about a cost effective recruitment process at LinkedIn.. Why you people don't do anything to make it possible ?

3. I went to "Cranes & Software House" in Bangalore.. They told me that it's a 6-8 months course. Does it suit the personality of Aeronautical Engineer to sit jobless for another 6-8 months after degree ? Don't say that do it in last semester. as you must be aware that doing software and giving paper of aesi is a big game. society's paper are not like state board exam.

Rahul

First of all. AeSIAA members are graduates of AeSI who have teamed up to form a formal association for the betterment of students and graduates of AeSI. We provide a platform. Since each voluntary member of AeSIAA is graduate, we dont remember or seek problem to solve. But if there's a request or issue, we help you to place it before AeSI. So if you have a query, formally write an email to AeSIAA and it will be taken forward. 

2. Recruitment. Each and everyone if us is trying to do a bit of wherever he or she can. But before we can confidently put AeSI graduates forward we have to make sure that the graduates are prepared. So in this vein, AeSIAA is taking steps to build confidence and teach presenting skills though workshops. and seminars This is the most basic need which will lead to better results than pushing an unprepared AeSI graduate to hr.

3. Don't tell me how big a game AeSI study is. But if you need job and that too just getting out of AeSI, start building skills. The knowledge you get in AeSI is just the mass but the skills you build are the acceleration that you have to have to generate any force or thrust. Remember F = m.a ! Unless you have both, job immediately after graduation will be tough. So start cultivating skills along side studying for AeSI.

Hope this answers your questions.

Teach and Learn

Let's do it

The best way to really learn something is to teach it to someone.

Well then here's a proposal to each of you guys visiting/reading this blog.


Let's start teaching.

The idea is to create a PowerPoint / video or document on any topic that you are studying and post it online for anyone to read and learn. The doc can be of any kind and on any topic that you choose but with the sole aim to teach something.

The Ground Rules:
1. Create the material focusing on one single topic at a time.
2. It should actually teach. The aim should be that if our grandmother reads or viewed it she would understood the subject.
3. Make it brief.
4. It should be sharable via google docs.
5. Send me the link for the via comments

What's the benefit to you?
1. You will learn the subject better and will never forget it again.
2. You will have the joy of helping someone.
3. You are sharing your insight with the world.
4. You are creating an asset you can have bragging rights about.
5. Creating this will help improve your presentation and communication skills.


So are you game? Are you willing to take on the challenge?

I will create a separate page on this blog to showcase all the material that will be submitted.

As an additionally motivation, the person to contribute the maximum number will get a prize from me by the end of the year.

So let's do it.

Any question/suggestion or comment shoot me an email.

Last & Final Call for SAM-2012 [Kind Attn: STUDENTS]

Dear Students,

AeSI Alumni Association (AeSIAA) is pleased to organize the 1st Student-Alumni-Meet (SAM) at Bangalore, in association with The Aeronautical Society of India, Bangalore Branch. This event is organized with the motive of promoting interaction between our students and alumni (Student & Graduate members of AeSI).

 

Alumni Interactions consists of many useful programs such as talks by distinguished alumni and corporate personalities and direct non-monetary help from alumni like sharing their experience in their area of expertise, providing opportunities to students in form of internships, work-visits, workshops, informal placement information talks and many more.

Alumni Talks - Questions about what stream to choose, the growth and prospects in any sector become the thoughts that hound everyone. To help students overcome these uncertainties, alumni are invited to give an informal talk on their respective sectors, enlightening the students about the career choices and what they are in for in that line of work.

Panel Discussion - A panel consisting of alumni, faculty and student representative is invited to discuss on a student centric topic. We wish to hold a discussion on a topic with far reaching consequences. SAM will be a platform for alumni to gather and discuss and debate on topics that matter. Suggestions are precious and we welcome any thoughts and ideas students may have during this event.

Mock interview (through Workshop on Soft Skills )- We are planning this event with the vision that passing out students (during June-12 Session results) can be benefited by experiencing mock interviews by alumni before they sit for their actual interviews.

Please refer the attached documents on take-away for students from SAM & more.....

 

We seek your participation and invite you to take part in the event on 25Aug, 2012 at Rolls-Royce Auditorium, Bangalore at 10:00am. We hope to have a great event on Saturday and we are also looking forward to more such Meets in future.  

 

All participating students are requested to register here: http://aesiaa.org/aesiaasam.html

The details of the event can also be looked up on: http://aesibangalore.org/news.html

AeSIAA Google Group for up-to date information: https://groups.google.com/group/aesiaa?hl=en

 

There is no entry fee/registration fee. SAM is our first event of this kind and it's a child in the process of growing. So we request you to send in suggestions and feedback aplenty to help us grow and deliver to your expectations.

Warm Regards,

Rakesh Kumar
