Essential tips for Interview || Attire || Do's & Don'ts || Interview Techniques

Attire

Do you know that an employer will make his/her first impression about whether or not to hire you based on the first 30 seconds of your interview?

Because of this reason, dressing properly and conventionally for an interview is essentially important.

Business Formal is the standard dress code for a job or internship interview.

Women’s business formal attire could include the following:

• ·         Pant suit (preferably in a dark color), which includes tailored pants and jacket / blazer, and solid (or subtle patterned) blouse/top
• ·         Skirt suit (preferably in a dark color), which includes knee-length skirt, tailored jacket, and solid (or subtle patterned) blouse/top
• ·         Small Studs / Post earrings (not dangling or large), minimum ornaments such as rings, bracelets, or necklaces
• ·         Closed toed shoes with no more than 1-2 inch heels
• ·         Very light & delicate make-up
• ·         Small to medium size purse, along with portfolio, pen, and extra copies of your resume in a proper file.

Men’s business formal attire could include the following:

• ·         Two-piece,  dark (solid color or conservative pinstripes) suit

• ·         Conservative, short haircut
• ·         Avoid cologne

Business Casual 

Business Casuals is often the dress code in many offices, depending on your work environment and day-to-day responsibilities. While this type of attire is too casual for an interview, you may ask your new supervisor and/or human resources representative about the dress code or judge the work environment once you’ve landed the job or internship.

Women’s business casual attire could include the following:

• ·         Jacket, blouse, cardigan, or conservative top with pants or a knee-length skirt
• ·         Simple, knee-length dress (nothing low-cut)
• ·         Closed or open toed shoes (no flip flops)

How to Eat Peanut Butter to Lose Weight

Researchers found that a diet that includes foods with high levels of monounsaturated fats like peanut butter can help people lose weight and prevent heart disease. Like other weight-loss programs, a peanut butter diet should be done in conjunction with exercise.

So how do you increase peanut butter in your diet and still maintain the calorie deficit needed for weight loss? The key is to eat peanut butter in moderation. A single serving of peanut butter is just two tablespoons. You can eat the peanut butter on a single serving of whole grain bread or with fruit or vegetables.

         

Some Facts of Peanuts

While “nut” is in their name, peanuts are in fact legumes. Peanuts actually grow underground, as opposed to nuts like walnuts, almonds, etc. that grow on trees (and are sometimes referred to as "tree nuts"). Peanuts, along with beans and peas, belong to the single plant family, Leguminosae.

Health Benefits of Peanuts

§  The nuts are a rich source of minerals like copper, manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.

§  Just a handful of peanuts per day provide enough recommended levels of phenolic antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and protein.

§  Peanut kernels are a good source of dietary protein; compose fine quality amino acids that are essential for growth and development.

§  Peanuts contain high concentrations of polyphenolic antioxidants, primarily p-coumaric acid. This compound has been thought to reduce the risk of stomach cancer by limiting the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines in the stomach.

So let’s plan it out & take out some time for playing those old games with your loved & enjoy those moments fully.

·         Go for a Picnic

Everyone needs a break to have relaxed mind to analyze & build a strong relationship. You should always give priority of going out with your loved ones, doing nothing being with them.

A picnic to your favorite place will make you full of energy & you find better ways to solve any kind of problems or issues. If the picnic is at or near by a natural picnic spot then it will be more beneficial for you. But it depends upon you, where you feel most relaxed & happy while on picnic with your loved ones.

·         Party with them

Party! This word is loved by everyone. Whenever you have less time to go out with you loved ones, just throw a small party or join a party. That's the best way to get relaxed & sorting out any of the issues you are having.

You can party at your home, any restaurant, etc. You can invite all your close people to join your party & just make yourself go with the flow. Enjoy with them, dance with them, eat something common of interest & just go with the flow.

·         Show your care

This is what any relationship asks for. "Care", when you actually love someone you automatically care about themselves. Parents care for their child, a friend cares for another, a teacher cares for his/her students. A caring nature person is loved by all.

But it is also very important to show your care to your loved ones time to time. They should know your feelings & affection you have for them.

There are some situations where misunderstandings takes place, but when your loved ones know you & your caring nature for them, things will get solved very easily.
