Tell us about yourself

This is the question with which most interviews begin at. So when I saw this rule of thumb at ruleofthumb blog, I couldn't resist posting it here for you.

"When asked the popular question, "tell me about you"; have a 3 or 4 sentence response prepared that talk to your leader ship skills, successful projects that you started, was a major player in, or successes that you take pride in. Submitted by: Dick Gehring, Consultant, NY"

From: http://rulesofthumb.org/perma.php?ruleid=5251

As I have always maintained, this question paves your path in an interview. If you can get it right, your interview will go your way.

Procedure for Job search

A few weeks ago someone asked this question on ouraesi yahoo club and Mr. Shashank as usual had great thoughtful response.

I am relishing it here for everyone's benefit.

Thanks Shashank !!

Bala Sekar,

Searching for company that can hone you skills should be pursued in following ways:

(1) Post your job profile in various job websites. Jobsahead.com, naukri.com, monster.com.

(2) Keep a close watch on upcomming job requirements in newspaper. Also wherever possible, try alligning your candidature with job requirements by enhancing your skills-set.

(3) Remain in touch with various job-posting on trustworthy yahoo/gmail groups.

(4) Be connected with your seniors/friends, with whom you can get ready job-informations of their respective employers.

(5) Lastly, freshen up your subjective knowledge to crack the interviews/discussions.

Regards
Shashank Sharma

Skill is merely a route to self expression

Read the following quote and loved it so much that posting it here for
all of you.

"Any skill is merely a route to self expression; the greater the skill
the greater the potential to express yourself. coding is no different."

Does this resonate with you? Do you feel the same with the skills
that your are aquiring now?

Thanks for the resumes and a tip if the resume doesn't fetch you an interview

Thanks everyone who has sent in your resume. If you have all three fortran, fem and structure mentioned in your resume, then it will definitely be at the HR desk.

Best of luck.

If your resume doesn't get you an interview then there are two things. Either the job requirement doesn't fit you or your resume is worthless.

Sending your resume to a requirement that doesn't match your skills is a false hope. Shun that tactic immediately.

If your skills match the requirements and still the resume doesn't fetch you an interview. Dump that resume. It's time to construct a new resume that bring results.

3 trends from AeroShow for AeSI Graduates

Today I went to Aero India Show 2011. Loved soaking myself in so much
aerospace products in a single day.

Was amazed to see so many cool stuff happening out there.

Well as I visited one hall to another, following are three things that
kept coming back to me.

1. Avionics, precision manufactring boom is coming.

2. So many campanies are in UAV business. Saw numerous good and
innovative designs, even from small players in Indian aerospace
companies.

3. There are more companies working in aerospace than we actually
know. Yes, they are not as well known or big as GE, but are doing
quite well in what they do.
