Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Job Interview Questions And Excellent Sample Responses by jacobadam: 9:43am On Nov 17, 2011
Your self-introduction in an interview is an extremely important part of the entire time, especially if the job will be in management or sales.

You typically have about 20 or 30 seconds to introduce yourself. We call this 'the elevator speech'.

Eye contact is very important. You should engage, make eye contact, but not stare down or threaten the other person. The handshake is important, somewhat firm but not crushing. Posture is important. Remaining somewhat close, leaning slightly forward if distances permit, head up, shoulders balanced.

You should clearly say your name, what you do, what you would like to do, something that shows you know something about the business, and how you think you can help the person on the other side of the desk.  You can refer articles and essays about myself examples or self introduction tips.

Your introductory statement or Career Overview should include the things like this:

1. An interesting story line which relates to the job profile and your suitability; usually best to start at the earliest point in your career and work forward to the present day, so the last thing you tell them is the most recent and relevant in you job profile.

2. This self introduction MUST highlight your key strengths and achievements which dovetail into the needs of the prospective employer. You should have read the job description and person specification so you know exactly what they're looking for.

3. You should speak clearly, in straightforward language, with good eye contact and without jargon, but keep it to 3 minutes or less.

4. As you come up to date, include a brief version of your leaving story or exit statement to explain why you're applying for the job and why you're so excited to be with them today. And being excited and enthusiastic is worth so much to a jaded interviewer.
Romance / Re: The Importance Of Eye Contact by jacobadam: 7:20am On Nov 09, 2011
An old Yiddish proverb says, "The eyes are the mirror of the soul", and they are,  cheesy. Eyes can captivate an audience and express what words may not be able to deliver. A word is a word, but a word expressed upon the sincerity of the eyes will allow the words spoken to reach the minds of those they are spoken to. This is why eye contact is important. Eye contact is a non-verbal ability to communicate, and it often equals to our ability to verbally express a thought. Interestingly, we are least aware of our non-verbal communication skills like body language and especially eye contact, yet these non-verbal skills often speak louder than our words. You know in college many students have written an essay on eye contact and its important. When you maintain eye contact, you present an air of confidence in yourself and what you are communicating. People who are listening to what you are saying will take you more seriously, and will take what you say as important. If you lose eye contact or focus on everything else but the person you are speaking to, you may not be taken seriously and the truth in your points may be lost,  grin

TV/Movies / Re: Horror Movies You Have Seen by jacobadam: 7:35am On Jun 30, 2011
When it comes to entertainment, most of us consider films and movies as the best of it. As different people have different interests, similarly no 2 people could be exactly entertained by the same set of entertainment source. Audience have different attitudes towards movies, however I am among those audience who enjoy Horror movies the most. Although even the ordinary and daily intractable things starts looking weird and scary after watching the horror films, still it’s a fun and quite an entertainment. I would suggest movies like The Amityville Horror (2005), The Grudge (2004), The Mirrors (2008), The Messengers (2007) and  The Ring (2002) are more threatening,  shocked, !!

The Scholarships are an incentive as well as support to meritorious students. You know theAfrican American Scholarships are out, now days that is known as African American College grants. Many colleges have May possibility to provide scholarships for students. But the students should prove that they were eligible for scholarships. In US most of colleges are providing scholarships for African Americans.  The students required to identify that there is the category of black scholarships. Black scholarships are exclusively for financially challenging African American students mainly due to the shortage of finance.
