50

He was the perfect resource person to illustrate the various ways in which we can crack the coveted job interviews which were right around the corner. Mr. Sunil Raikar discussed various points about interviews, such as:

  • One should be prepared for off track questions. These are the unexpected questions and tests one’s confidence and presence of mind.
  • The teacher requires to have good content knowledge, communication skill and should always be positive.
  • A person should be genuine enough to know what he/she wants and is capable of and should never bluff her way through an interview. This calls for deep introspection and self-awareness.
  • An individual should be confident but not over confident. While facing an interview, one should have a firm handshake The voice should be loud enough to be heard by the interviewer.
  • All answers should be put forth in a positive manner.
  • Fillers like ‘aaa’ or ‘umm’ should be avoided.
  • Even our CVs should reflect our personality. They should be grammatically correct, proof read and printed on 110 GSM bond paper.

He also emphasized that Language is never taught but caught. So as a future teacher one must improve communication skills, build vocabulary, keep a check on pronunciation, work toward good grammar, have a strong voice not soft spoken or harsh, all of which makes ones personality. Along with this one must build up one’s confidence develop reasoning skill and be optimistic. Developing a habit of reading the newspaper and keeping oneself abreast with the latest happenings of the world adds to one’s personality. Mr. Raikar, not only spoke about all the above points but also made some of the students enact various scenarios so that our unconscious behaviour were evident to us. The workshop was an eye opener and much needed before students step into the workforce.
