Measure what is measurable to succeed in everything you do including AMAeSI

Last week when I wrote the post begining with Galileo's quote, I had
in mind the previous words of wisdom from the man called father of
science.

I have already mentioned it but it's worth repeating. "Measure what is
measurable and make it which is not!!"

What Galileo is referring is measure your progress or efforts. If you
don't you won't be improving.

So are you following this in your life?

Ever since I have began measuring my blog posts and my other goals, I
have steadily progressed and now I have a better sense of where I am
on my projects and goals. So this simple measurement and tracking
different metrics has increased my efficiency.

So are you tracking yours?

If you ask me one advice that you want for this semester then this is
the one. Measure what is measuable. It might be the number of hour you
study? The number of hours you spend on any software?

Add a tip of Galileo's wishdom in your journey of AeSI!!

Start your interview preparation with this question!

If you are likely to face an interview in next month or two then this
is the time to begin preparing for it.

Early preparation and methodically scanning of resume will give you an
head start in an interview.

The first thing that you should practise and get it right is your
openning line.

After the pleasantaries are over the first question that usually
starts the interview is 'Tell us something about yourself?'

So this is the question you should prepare well. What and how you
answer this question will pave the path for the rest of the interview.

As I have said earlier, it's the interviewee who leads the interview.
So learn the way to answer the questions. Learn all about this

You cannot control the wind but you can always adjust the sail

You cannot control the wind but you can always adjust the sail. -unknown

Loved this great quote!! It's sums up what you can do when you AeSI
hands a totally unexpected ugly surprise!!

I have gone through this when in VMD paper I was sure I will get
around 80 and AeSI slamed fail!! Was devatated. Back fired for
recunting but no change was the response.

This is when my mom said something similar that the above quote
expresses.

Many senior members of aesi are working on improving the unexpected
surprises so till then learn to adust the sails!! Set them in such a
way that whatever be the wind your boat sails to the coast!!

Is your resume shouting ' I am fresher !'

Be a freshers but don't let your resume show it!

I have seen many resumes of freshers and none had presented itself as
professional!!

Each and every resume shouts I am a fresher even before you read it.

Let the statement I am a fresher come from inside the resume but not
from the appearance of the resume.

Here are the things that I observed that need to be corrected before
you sent your fresher resume.

1. Resume is shabby. Looks like it's the first word document they have
ever edited.

2. Gramatical and spelling mistakes strewn everywhere.

3. Weak, generic objective statement.

4. Personal details are presented up front. Reception should be for
skills and projects not personal details.

5. Details of subject studied listed as if it's a bibliography of a
research paper. List your interest subjects and that too not more than
two.

6. No projects or if present they are nicly tucked somewhere near the
last page as if you are ashamed of them.

7. Skills section virtually absent.

8. Resume more than 2 page.

9. Lengthy project descriptions adding no value to the resume.

Avoid all these points to stop your resume from broadcasting ' I am
fresher' message!!

8 things that you can immediately do on your resume to enhance your chances in job search.

After the announcement of results I think, many of aesi graduates/
students will enter the stage where they need to attend to their
resumes. So here are some simple things that you can immediately do on
your resume for better results.

1. Cut the fat. Make it lean, mean and to the point.
2. Make all fonts consistent. Just use one type of font for all text.
3. In the first page include all the projects you have worked on in
bullet points.
4. Mention the software and other skills just after the projects.
5. Be brief in personal details no one needs your passport number!!
6. Name and Contact info must stand out. Increase its font size.
7. Resume shouldn't look crammed. Use lots of whitespaces.
8. Rephase your objective statement.

Apply each of this. Good luck!!

What preparing tea can teach you about enjoying life and AeSI?

How to prepare tea?
You get certain quantity of water, boil it, put in a small quantity of
tea, sugar and milk and let it be for a minute or two. And you have
the tea ready.

what happens if you decide to put more tea leaves, more sugar or more
milk, the tea won't be as good as you like. So the point is to get a
good drinkable tea, all ingridients needs to be in the right amount.
Anything less or excess will ruin the taste.

Same is with studies, same is with life, if you don't put in all the
ingridients at the right proportions, your life will be either be too
sweet or too sour to consume.

So what's the point?

The point is balance your studies with other activities. Just filling
all hours of your day with study is not the correct stategy.

When you balance ingridients in making tea, it makes sense to follow
the same in life!!
