covfefe - total waste

US president Donald Trump has coined it, through his media tweets. As we all read the news papers and linger on social media. We all know how the press has gushed ink against the newly elected US president.

The word was his obvious reaction on media propaganda, Oxford, yesterday accepted it as new entry.

Today, I am happy to share it with you as you have been my supporter, readers and admirers.

Let me remind you, long gone those days when English Dictionary was the side arm of an elite, today amidst rapidly changing trends and superfast social media we need to update and sharp our skills of English language.  

The 360degree media is our only savior as we use the same to express. Come and join my league.

Every day the Spalding Professors of oxford and top-notch reporters from worlds’ leading press work on language. I being a Media Professor and Critic of World Cinema often come across these developments.

The study of language should be done from each aspect; you need to understand the roots of culture to acquire the proficiency of language.

Do send me your feedbacks.

 

Documentary - Weiner

Documentary - Weiner

Film makers Josh Kriegman’s and Elyse Steinberg’s film Weiner is one of best documentary praised by critics.  The camera is on disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner who campaigns for New York City’s new mayor. It is interesting to pursue how he manages to rebuild his reputation and how new scandal put him at worse. I will say, it is  fly-on-the-wall view  

“Weiner” reveals many illuminating moments of Anthony Weiner’s failed mayoral campaign. He faces his online sexting antics; he calls the situation in blunt terms: “Fuck.”

The camera shot of 15 interminable seconds, watching Weiner alongside his wife and counsel Huma Abedin, and they take the situation without saying a word. Weiner is co-directed by former Weiner chief of staff Josh Kriegman with Elyse Steinberg, “Weiner” showcase all the remarkable tension implied by that silence. It offers extraordinary access to Weiner’s ambitious gamble and re-launch of his career. The film directors focus the impact of the contemporary media on public life.  Weiner is the best example of anti-heroes in recent memory.

Vanity magazine writes,“A rollicking and never-dull insider's view of a political campaign that leaves fascinating questions unanswered.”

Washington Post wrote, “It’s one of the best campaign movies in years. As Weiner”

Types of Interviews

Types of Interviews

While doing job or business we come across many different types of interviews methods and techniques. If you are a fresher then you might experience a combination or all of these.

Screening Interviews

They are used for a large number of applicants and employer has a very less time to shortlist them. Screening interviews are usually done by phone, they are very short in nature, the questions focuses on basic qualifications.

Telephonic Interviews

These are used to overcome the geographic obstacles. When the applicant lives in another city or state, Telephonic interviews are used they are longer and detailed in nature. Here are a few guide lines for you.

§ Be well prepared.

§ To focus all your attention on the interview.

§ Use a land line to avoid the possibility call drop or poor reception

§ Conduct the interview in a quiet private premise

§ Ask family members and friends not to disturb you during the interview

§ Avoid distractions and focus on the interview.

If you are busy then tell them you are busy and ask to schedule a time later in the day or week. Don’t worry, interviewers know they are calling you without an appointment and are very flexible – they will work with you.

One-on-One Interviews

This is the most common interview method and involves you and the interviewer alone in a private office. Now your dress, appearance, non-verbal communication skills and other visual factors, as well as your verbal communication skills matters a lot. You need a to undergo a crash course of soft-skills to clear these type of interview.

Panel Interviews

Sometimes the employer will have a “selection committee” or for some other reason there will be multiple people involved in conducting interviews. In these panel interviews you must connect and engage every member of the panel in you. You need to be smart while answering their questions. Always remember when one person ask you a question the others observe you. Each panel member has your resume and you know nobody from them. To win their hearts you need a wit and wisdom. That you learn in crash course of soft-skills.

Serial Interviews

In a serial interview you will meet with several people throughout the day, usually back-to-back. They are physically and mentally tiring and often consume entire day. They are typically used for senior-level positions, but there are exceptions. You can learn the guide lines of behavior and reactions in soft-skill crash course.

Lunch Interviews

Sometimes the employer will take you to an interview lunch or even dinner. These interviews evaluate your social skills and manners. Really this is very tricky and most of the candidates fail during these interviews. These interviews are conducted only for prestigious posts. What and how you eat, who do you sit and how you describe the food and mood is matters a lot. What examples you put and how you appreciate is the most challenging part of it. Only after and ex-tempo lectures of mine can shape you ready for it.

Group Interviews

The interviewer will ask questions of no one in particular in hopes that a “leader” will emerge. Group interviews are used rarely but they are used to find the leadership qualities in you. It is a challenging task to make realize other person what and how you are the best leader. Post soft-skills ex-tempo lectures of mine can guide you to prepare for these kinds of interviews.  

Stress Interviews

They are used during all Indian government examinations for officers. This interviewer may make the room physically uncomfortable by turning up the heat, make the candidate sit in an uncomfortable chair or sometimes even stand, ask off-the-wall questions that have nothing to do with the job and possibly refuse to answer your questions. These interviews are designed to taste your talent and patience. An officer always works under pressure and interviewer wants to check you psychological level of stress.

Conclusion

Employers always conduct different type of interviews to know the candidate inside-out. In the days of growing competition one must be well equipped to face the challenges of the world. I wish you best of luck. I urge you to learn what are soft-skills and communication skills. Today there is learned youth but they lack in communication and soft-skills.
