GRE
The GRE® General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. The GRE® Subject Tests gauge undergraduate achievement in eight specific fields of study.

GRE verbal and quantitative scores and undergraduate grade point average were evaluated as predictors of multiple measures of long-term graduate school success.

Who Takes GRE and Why?
Prospective graduate applicants take the General Test. GRE test scores are used by admissions or fellowship panels to supplement undergraduate records and other qualifications for graduate study. The scores provide common measures for comparing the qualifications of applicants and aid in evaluating grades and recommendations.
The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are the tests taken by individuals who aspire to go to graduate schools of USA Universities, to pursue Masters or Doctorate in the Sciences or Humanities area of study. GRE is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). The GRE is only one of the many and yet an important criterion required by graduate schools to measure an individuals application. The examination is intended to measure the skills that one has obtained during high school and in college.

Over all Test Tactics

Learn the section directions now. Use the time saved during the test to work on questions.
Be especially careful in the first portion of every section. Successful answers to the earliest questions will lead to higher scores.
You can write on the scratch paper provided. You can also remember to bring some extra scratch paper. Use the process of elimination to cross out wrong answers; do scratch work.
Easy questions usually precede hard ones.
Double check your work and answer before you click on the screen bubble. You cannot skip any question and you cannot go back after you've answered a question.
Answer every question, making educated guesses if you have to. Just try to eliminate one or more choices before guessing.
Don't spend too much time on any one question. You should spend only seconds on the easiest questions, and hesitate to spend more than 1-2 minutes on even the hardest ones.
Bring a watch to the test center. You can't be guaranteed that there'll be a working clock there.
Don't bring a calculator since you're not allowed to use one.
Bring a couple of IDs to the test center. Make sure at least one of the pictures actually looks like you. Also bring any authorization voucher you may have received from the Educational Testing Service.
Read the words in the question carefully. Be sure to answer the question asked and not the question you recall from a practice test.
Know the Question Types to Expect on the GRE: * analogies * sentence completion * reading comprehension * math multiple-choices * quantitative comparison

Last Day tips for MAT Exam

Now MAT is coming and it’s important that you get serious and prepare well, here we are giving you some tips for preparing for MAT.

Break Exam day

1. Expectation of the Paper:

Don’t be sure of the format of the question paper this year because this year in CAT exam also none of us had any idea about the format. Hence please always remember that going into an exam with a fixed mind set does not help a lot.

2. Cracking the First question:

Try to solve first few questions correctly which will give you the boost for rest of the paper and help you in your confidence level. It could be a good strategy to solve the GK towards the end rather than at the beginning because of the above reason. Also the issue of a person being fresh also adds credence to this point

3. MAT is Different : Traditionally MAT was the same format as CAT, but over the last few years there has been a consious decision to differentiate between XLRI and IIMs. Hence please be very careful in the preparation for this exam as the format and the content of this exam is vastly different from CAT.
It’s preferable to arrive at the exam hall well in advance for the exam . Even had a short nap also!!! Though we would not advice the nap, please get to the Exam hall atleast 30 minutes in advance. Also the standard advice of pencils and erasers should hold true.
One final experience, when you attended the MAT exam, don’t get at first ’’ Pschyed out ’’ looking at the crowd. But please remember that not all the people who shall appear will have put in the same effort as you have and be always confident of cracking the exam.
Good Luck for MAT exam.

Common Personal Interview Questions

Though there is no dearth of articles on interview etiquette, there is an actual shortage of good articles on the most crucial factor in an interview — the interviewer’s questions and your answers. Many problems candidates have include nervousness and stammering in an interview, which is directly related to the candidate’s unfamiliarity with the questions and a general lack of preparation.

TCYonline.com experts present for the readers of Rediff.com, a few of the most commonly asked interview questions. There are no ready-made answers to the questions, instead, the attempt is to try to help you arrive at the correct answer yourself, so that you sound natural and coherent in an interview. Ultimately, an interview is a mirror to see your inner self and a subjective, specific and honest presentation is the key to success.

Q. Tell me some thing about yourself.
This is how most interviews begin and this is one question you cannot afford to be unprepared for.
To frame a good answer it is always helpful to know what is it that the interviewer wants to know about you. An interviewer would like to know.
~ Your educational background
~ Your work experience, if any
~ Your strengths and achievements
~ About your family background
~ About where you are coming from academically, professionally
You should be short and crisp about all the points mentioned above. If the interviewer needs an elaboration s/he will ask you.

Q. Why do you want to join this institute?
This is one question you should answer honestly and pragmatically. Ideally you should choose an institute based on certain criteria. Such as
~ Ranking/ placements
~ Courses offered
~ Fee
~ Location
It is good to do a little research on the institute, its placements and about certain specialisation(s) it may be known for. An informed analysis of the institute can convince the interviewer that you are sincerely interested. It also helps you in identifying parameters critical for you while choosing the particular institute.

Q. Which other institutes have you applied to?
This is a question that is very much linked to the previous question. For example, if you say that you had chosen IRMA because you have a flair for Rural Marketing and while answering this question you don’t mention the name of other institutes known to offer quality course in Rural Marketing you are in trouble. So these two questions are to be prepared simultaneously avoiding conflicts in answers.

Q. How will you add value to this institute if you make it through?
This is an opportunity to showcase your strengths but remember it is essential that your strengths should be supported by related achievements.
Your background and circumstances can also be your strengths and can be used as equally important points in supporting your answer.
Remember, an achievement doesn’t necessarily mean a prize. It can also be your successfully coming out of a crisis situation or you managing to run a small project with your friends.

Q. What do you consider your biggest failure?
CAUTION: This is not an opportunity to pour out your darkest secrets. This is a question that is best played down. For example, if you are overweight, you may mention — “I have been trying to shed weight for the last few years but couldn’t do it still.” The answer should be framed so that it does not reflect badly on your career thus far, or your future career.
Another way of answering would be a smart statement: “I have never allowed failure to drag me down. I just got up, took my lesson and picked my way forward.” Here it would help to have a certain experience picked out.

Q. Why have you chosen this career?
This is an area where a mature and realistic answer is expected. People choose their career based on several reasons, such as:
~ What is your aptitude?
~ What kind of a social, professional and personal environment do you desire?
~ What is your background and achievements?
~ What motivates you?
~ What activities do you enjoy?

Q. What is the last book you read?
Many experts would tell you that you should know the ins and out of the books and everything about the author and his writing style. If you know these facts, it can’t hurt, but if you are not the kind of a person who would research the background and other facts about books, but read for fun, it is okay to mention it. The only thing is that your answer should be natural, convincing and rational.
For example, if the interviewer asks you for more detail about the author you may just reply.
“I’m sorry but I haven’t read much about the author. But I liked this book because…”

Q. How will your contribute to this campus if we select you?
This is a question that directly relates to your strengths and aspiration. Take this as an opportunity to showcase the various qualities that you possess which may benefit the college, academically, culturally or in any other way.

Q. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
This is not when you start throwing in fancy designations. Instead, concentrate on the kind of roles people in those designations are expected to play. If the question specifically asks for your professional goals then stick to it, otherwise it is a good idea to balance it with your personal goals.

Q. Who is your role model?
Your role model can be anyone a public figure or even someone from your family. It is a good idea to know a lot about the person you would make your role model. It is important to focus on the qualities that inspire you and how you try to inculcate those qualities in yourself. It is always important to tell why s/he is different from her/his peers.

Q. Do your have any questions for me?
“No” would be a bad answer. It is good to have a few questions that relate to the academic and cultural environment of the institution. This will show your enthusiasm.

In a nutshell, an interview just analyses how balanced and rational you are. So, just be yourself! Preparing yourself for the questions listed above will give you the confidence to handle even unexpected questions. You should ideally write down your answer to these questions (but please don’t try to mug up answers you think would be ‘ideal’) and practice giving interviews along these lines with a friend.

CAT exam preparation tips

Few tips from my side to crack the Cat-

1- If you are doing your Graduation than start preparing from second year of graduation.

2- If you completed Graduation and ready to give the Cat in next coming November, Prepare ar least 10-14 hours daily and seriously.

3- Minimum 10 hours study required before the 6 months of Cat exams.

4- Minimum 10,000 Vocabulary (new databank) required to prepare.

5- Daily two hours required to study newspapers and Editorials. (English)

6- Read at least two magazines, one novel each week.

7- Try for the shortcuts of mathematics. Calculations must be strong.

8- See any type of graph in any where you find, try to interpret that as fast as possible.

9- Change your attitude. Make one decision strictly. And only try for right decision or don’t answer in case of ambiguity.

10- Read whatever you love. But try to read on different subjects articles.

11- Before three months of Cat, Daily solve one set of available question paper.

12- Try to make logical sense everywhere.

13- Try to solve calculations mentally.

How to select right Coaching for CAT or MBA exams

The first thig which one looks for if they are giving CAT for the first time is which coaching institute to join.
Usually people join one among the big ones like TIME, IMS or CL depending on

1) Which is nearest to their place
2) What their friends are joining
3) How many students have successfull cracked CAT from that coaching.

There are various types of coaching institutes and the only thing common is they all promise you success. Every year, the Indian Institutes of Management churn out more than one thousand five hundred graduates. The past ten years would alone have seen some ten thousand IIM-certified MBAs entering the market. So take all the claims as good examples of marketing and pick through what works for you best.

The types of coaching institutes are: -

Mass Coaching Institutes - They admit everyone, charge a fee and use a combination of classroom and written material. This approach is a relatively less-risky approach, as most people would want to join institutes that claim to have hundreds of success stories over the years. Remember what matters is your own success and the student needs just one seat in the right MBA institute. Try and check the percentage success rate of the institute as in how many candidates successful as a percentage of the total seats admitted. If you have specific weaknesses in one of the individual sections mentioned above, you can go in for specialized coaching.

Specialized Coaching - Generally, mathematics or numerical ability is one area where people prefer specialized coaching as this is the skill that basically needs to be re-learnt as the exams are of the level of high-school mathematics but need to be done in accuracy as possible. Specialized coaching institutes generally conduct exams to offer a limited number of seats, and this is also because they are unable to provide educational infrastructure for all

Postal Coaching for Written Exams - The need for postal coaching is because it is relatively less expensive and also offers you flexibility to set your own pace.

Coaching Only for Group Discussions / Interviews - Once cleared with your exams, you can go in for polishing your soft-skills and hone your initial impressions by attending these coaching programs.

Using More Than One Institute / Coaching Material - An optimized approach works best, as each coaching institute’s curriculum has its own strength and weakness. Some institutes are very good for English Comprehension Skills while others are better for Mathematics-related studies. The best approach is a hybrid-approach which uses sample papers from previous years, study materials from more than one institute and mock tests. To cut down on expenses, you can form a study group that shares study material. It is best if you take in a lot of feedback from ex-students of coaching institutes to spot the relative merits and demerits of each one. This is best done if you take time on this activity as it is important and maybe even crucial for eventual success.

What to do :-
1) What you can do as an aspirant is get to know few students who are studying in these clases before joining one.
2) There is huge difference for the same coaching institute from city to city and sometimes place to place.
3) If you don’t know anyone then go around some forum (Cat4mba, totalgadha, pagalguy, solidgyan etc) for CAT and you always ask people there about the coaching institute.
4) Join atleast 2 test series and analyze the test after giving them, which will let you know more about strength weakness and stratagy.
5) For solving quant which is usually the nemesis for most of the people writing CAT, try soom books like QA by Nisit k. sinha or QA by Arun Sharma. Both these books are great.
I think all these will help in makin a more informed choice before joining any coaching than just joining for the sake of it. Choose the right business school, focus on those exams, and choose one or multiple coaching methods as customized to your own need and self-assessment. This will be the first and one of the most crucial decisions for your entrance preparations. Above all, work diligently and at a steady pace, and success will only be an exam away.

How to prapare for CAT exam

As the exam nears, you will need to create a plan to help you study effectively and minimize stress. The first step is to figure out how much time and effort you must dedicate to studying for the exam by asking the following questions:

How much material do you need to cover?
How difficult is the material?
How much time is available?
Do you have any other priorities during the study period?
What is the format of the exam?
How important is the exam?
What is your performance target for the exam?

Here are some tips to follow in creating your study plan:

budget your time realistically;
allocate the study time into several manageable study sessions;
divide the course material into small segments and assign them to the study sessions;
set clear and specific goals for the study sessions;
prioritize to ensure that material weighted more heavily in the exam gets sufficient study time;
take into account your familiarity with the material and the difficulty level;
don’t make the study sessions too long;
study sessions should have enough variety in terms of topics and activities to prevent boredom and loss of effectiveness;
avoid cramming before the exam; and
Don’t forget to include regular breaks.

Knowing the course material is necessary but not sufficient to guarantee success on the exam - you also need to be able to communicate the answers effectively under exam conditions. Practice using sample questions in the same format as the exam and answer them in a simulated test environment. The sample questions can be sourced from old exams and assignments, which are often similar from year to year with small changes. Even though you are only practicing, it is better to write full answers to the questions so you can work through the entire thought process.
Coachings are helpful for Cat. They will teach you some shortcut methods and you will get chance to appear in Mock Cats. It is tough to say for best coaching. It completely depends on faculty. Before joining any coaching classes, first consult to students who are already joined.
So doing, one time hard work will make your fortune. What is your attitude………….
If any further question come in your mind, plz drop in comments. I will try best for you dear

Pilot Sample Resume

By Assoy The Boy Fly

Download Sample Resume

Having a strong resume is the key to getting the job you want. Remember that the person who receives your resume will only look at it for an average of 15 seconds. It is therefore very important that you are able to emphasize the skills that make you stand out from your peers.
A resume is a summary of your experience and qualifications. Your resume cannot be strong without the proper qualifications. At the same time your qualifications cannot be strong without a proper resume. A resume should only be one page long, so it is important that you include only the most appropriate information.
Print your resume on resume paper. You find resume paper in most office supply stores. Your resume should not be folded or attached to the cover letter, so make sure you also purchase large envelops. If you struggle to make everything fit on one page you can adjust the margins and font size. Do not use a font smaller than 10 points. If you change the margins, make sure that top, bottom, and both sides look balanced. If you still cannot fit everything - see if there is anything you can exclude from your resume. Remember that a resume is a summary, not your life story.
To the right, you see a sample resume that is split into seven sections; header, objective, qualifications, pilot credentials, experience, education, and achievements. We will now take a closer look at these important sections that make a strong pilot resume.

1. The Header

This is where you include your name and contact details. The header in our sample resume is only one way to do it. You can set up the header however you like, as long as it looks neat and contain the details listed below.
Name
Include your name on the top of your resume in bold letters. If you have a middle name, use your middle initial instead. Example; "James Elroy Bloggs" becomes "James E. Bloggs" on a resume. You do not have to use a large font to make your name stand out.
Address
This should be the address you want the airline to mail any correspondence. Make sure you are able to frequently check the mail at this address. Do not use your mailing address at work and refrain from using a post box address if at all possible.
E-mail
Many companies today will only accept resumes sent electronically, thus receiving a reply via e-mail is very likely. Use your personal address, not your work e-mail, and make sure it is not too casual. jbloggs@mail.com is a very neutral and personal address while thedude@mail.com is too informal and unprofessional. superstud@mail.com is just embarrassing and will not look good on a resume.
Phone
Include the phone number you are most likely to be reached on. As a minimum this phone should have an answering service, like a voicemail or an answering machine, which you check frequently. Make sure your outgoing message convey a professional image. Most likely this is the way an airline will contact you after reading your resume.

2. Objective

Common objectives are "First Officer", "Flight Instructor", or "Airline Pilot". If you are applying to an already advertised position, put the name the airline named the position in the objective field. Do not get too specific if you are submitting a general application. Most airlines will keep your resume on file and call you for an interview when a position opens up. This can sometimes take months.

3. Qualifications

This is the most important section on your resume as it contains all of the qualifications that make you eligible for the job. List your highest held certificate, additional certificates that are of relevance to the job, core flying hours, and any type ratings. If you have a college degree, this too should be listed here. Do not list high school, unfinished degrees or diplomas/courses that are not of relevance to the job. Make sure that the requirements listed by the airline are listed in your qualifications section. This is normally how far a pilot recruiter will initially read, so it is important that you at least have the minimum requirements for the job listed in this section.

4. Pilot Credentials

In this section, you will break down all your flying hours and list all other certificates that you have not already listed under qualifications. Highlight your total flying hours and put them in bold on top of the other flying hours. It is not necessary to include solo hours, instruction received, number of landings, or simulated instrument. Use common sense and include what you think is necessary.
When applying for an airline, multi engine hours, turbo-prop/jet hours, second in command time, and hours flow on a specific type should be included. Example of a specific type is "1,200 hours B737-400." Do this when you know the company you are applying for flies a type you have previous experience in. Do not put turbo-prop/jet hours or second in command time under pilot credentials if your experience here is 0. Again, common sense should dictate what break down of flight hours is worth including.

5. Experience

List all previous work experience as a pilot. The key is to keep it short and easy to read. The last thing you want to do is flood the recruiter with an abundance of detailed information. Include only the highest position attained with a company, what aircraft it was in, and the duration of employment in years. Make the job description short and include where the company is located. Do not include non-flying work experience. A recruiter is not interested in your college job or what you did before you started flying.

6. Education

List the highest education you have obtained. If you have a college degree, list the degree and the university where you studied. If you have some college but no degree, you may list the college and the course of study. Also include your Grade Point Average (GPA) if it is higher than 3.0. Do not list your high school or courses of no relevance.

7. Achievements

This section is optional and can be omitted if you do not have enough room on your resume. Further, you should not include achievements on your resume if you do not have any. Examples of achievements are honors awards, prices, or any other achievement you believe will make you stand out from others. In our sample resume James Bloggs has won some aerobatic championships.

In Summary

Your resume is a sales tool intended to get you an interview for the jobs you have applied for. It does not have to look identical to the sample resume we have provided. Think about the job you are applying for and then set up the resume accordingly. It is ok to have a standardized pilot resume, but making a few adjustments before you send it to an airline may help you gain the recruiters attention. Remember that all airlines do not have the same hiring requirements; therefore your resume will stand a better chance if you tailor it to the airline you are applying for.
And before you send it - make sure to proof read, check any spelling errors, and have someone else proof read the resume for you. Automated spell checking, like in MS Word, does not guarantee it is free from miss-spellings and grammatical errors.
Never send a resume alone. Make sure it is accompanied by a cover letter. If possible, avoid handwriting on the envelope. All modern printers can make professional looking labels or print directly on the envelope, so take the time to figure out how you do it. Follow these guidelines and your resume should be off to a strong start.
The article and sample resume was written by a professional pilot in conjunction with a professional recruiter. It is intended as guidance only.

How to Discover and Present Resume Skills in Your Resume

Resume skills have a single priority and this is to market you to potential employers. These skills are necessary for writing resumes that produce results.

Before you attempt to write your resume, you must begin by identifying the skills needed by the employer. The best way to do this is through a preliminary search. Bear in mind that you ought to have a general idea about the employer and specific knowledge about the resume position you are applying to. The more you are aware of what the job is all about, the more you are able to identify the necessary resume skills and the more you are able to tailor the skills in your resume to meet the demands of the employer.

Your aim in writing a good resume is not just to identify skills. For you to produce an effective resume, you will have to identify skills that will be useful to the employer. To identify and bring out your skills, you will need to reflect on your qualifications and work history, if you have any.

To begin with, academic skills are those skills which you acquired while you were in school. Therefore, think of those skills which you underwent in school in the form of training. But make sure that you do not list course. Also, list only those skills which are related to what the employer is in need of. Try to think of any operations or procedures you have undergone. Think of situations you have managed. Also include any research and writing skills you have gained in school. If you find it difficult discovering these skills, recourse to GrandResume.com may be sought for more resume tips.

Continue with skills you have acquired at the workplace. Workplace skills include what you have done. Some of these skills will feature under a list of responsibilities in the work experience section of your resume. Whatever the case, the employer will want to know about every problem you have help to overcome at the workplace, every task you have perfectly completed, every innovation you have devised, every personal skill you have used to relate to the business environment and every honor, award or distinction you have received for any work done. Make sure that every feature you represent under workplace skills are related to the job in question.

Finally, resume skills should end up with personal skills that you can demonstrate. Remember that you may have certain qualities which the employer may find interesting. These may include certain leadership traits as well as financial or planning skills that you can transfer to the new job.

Resume skills should be properly arranged in your resume. Keep in mind that you should help the employer to read through and discover these skills in your resume. Therefore, it will be important to use the appropriate resume format to arrange skills categorically according to the needs of the employer. You can also put together skills using columns with appropriate headings. For more advice on discovering and arranging useful skills in your resume, see GrandResume.com.

Executive Resumes

Executive resumes should always be started with a resume objective.

This type of resume is distinct from every other resume for the simple fact that you are selling what you can do. Therefore, always think of presenting yourself and what you have, to the benefit of the organization.

Stand Out Of the Multitude

This should be your main objective. The job of an executive is a job that is always sought for by lots of applicants. You therefore have to prove that you are more than an ordinary applicant. Given the number of applicants, employers often use these executive resumes as the best means to select candidates for interview. Standing out from the bulk of applicants does not mean that you should be more qualified than every other applicant. It requires you to devote time and effort in writing your resume from concept to completion. A lot of resume writers still do not find the time for doing this. If you are faced with little or no time or lack the skills to begin and complete your executive resume, there is no need to be worried. A lot of resume tips can be found in GrandResume.com. Alternatively, you can easily download a resume template offered by a resume writing service and simply use it to build an effective resume.

Strive To Arrest the Interest of the Employer

This is a resume writing strategy which most resume writers fail to grab. Your main objective here is to prove that you can make use of what you have acquired to bring about efficiency. Avoid simply stating that you can do this. Prove to your employer that this can be done because it has been realized in your previous work. By telling the employer that you will be a valuable asset in the organization, you are increasing your chances of being called up for an interview.

Presentation Counts in Business Writing

The employer is not only interested in hiring a person to fill an executive position. Every employer or hiring manager intends to hire a person willing and able to work under instructions. This quality will never be demanded from you; but the organization and presentation of your resume will be used to determine how well organized you are. Remember to use an appropriate resume style or resume format in writing your resume. Using the appropriate format and style shows some elements of your responsibility and dependability.

Executive resumes can only lead to action if they are written and edited properly. When you are done with writing your resume, you will want to stop at every point and make sure that it tells what you intend to say. To effectively appraise the resume you have written, put yourself into the position of a prospective employer. It is evident that you will want to read a short, neat, attractive and grammatically correct resume. Keep in mind that every employer imagines that the resume is a true reflection of the person they intend to hire. Take time to revise and edit as much as necessary if you want your resume to outclass every other resume. GrandResume.com offers more guides for revising and editing resumes.
