Literally Communication

When one appears at a personal interview, it is often seen that the interviewer takes 80% of his decision within the first half of the interview. In other words, we can say that most of the decision has been made within the initial few minutes.

But the thing to be given thought to is the fact that multiple casual questions are asked within the first half of the interaction, then how does the interviewer decide ?

Here are some points which will help crack a personal interview today.

What is a C.V. ?

A C.V. is the abbreviated form for curriculum vitae. Curriculum vitae, as the dictionary describes it is a brief account of a person's education, qualifications and experience typically sent with a job application.

According to many curriculum vitae is a synonym for resume and vice versa. But this is not completely true. There are certain differences between a curriculum vitae and a resume. The primary differences between a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a page or two, a curriculum vitae is a longer (at least two pages) and more detailed synopsis. A curriculum vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details.

In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers may expect to receive a curriculum vitae.In the United States, a curriculum vitae is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.

Reading involves a number of sub-skills.

1. Global Comprehension

In reading a text for meaning, it is desirable to go from the ‘whole’ to the ‘parts’, and not vice versa, as unskilled readers tend to do. A poor reader will pick up information from the text in small bits and pieces, as he/she reads from one word or one sentence to the next, and try to assemble the bits together. An efficient reader, on the other hand, will first try to form an over all ‘picture’ of the entire text.

‘Global Comprehension’, or the ability to get ‘over-all’ meaning from a text, requires the sub-skill of skimming i.e. reading through the text at high speed in order to identify and pick up the main idea or ideas in the text while ‘filtering out’ the unnecessary details.

Everyday we utilize our skills to progress and enhance ourselves with respect to time and life. A majority of our time is spent in the business or professional world. In order to progress in that world we must learn its etiquette and acquire the  required skills. Broadly there are two types of skills for the professional world. They are as follows:

1. Soft Skills
2. Hard Skills

Well, let us learn briefly about these important skills.

Before understanding the patterns of communication in an organisation one must have some pre-required knowledge about what is communication in an organisation or business communication, types of business communication and how they take place, etc.

Communication is a process which has no fixed boundary in a part of a function and each transaction in its term influences the future communication. The future communication is or not favorable to the organisation is based on the previous interactions.
