7 Tips To Make A Great First Impression

By
Simran Singh

indian army lady officer

“You can make only one first impression”. Indeed it is true. Whenever we first meet someone, it is their non-verbal cues, their body language, their clothes; their mannerisms that help us make an impression of them.

It’s very important to pay heed to these things before one appears for an interview or any significant meeting.
We can make impressions of people in fractions of a second, even if the person is not physically present in front of us. By looking at a photo too, we can make an impression of people. With every new encounter, we are evaluated and yet another person’s impression of us is formed.

Download:

Since the first impressions are impossible to undo, it becomes very important to set proper first impression in order to establish good relationships with others.

Following are some ways in which you can make great first impressions:

  1. Always show up on time.
    If you are meeting someone for an interview or for some other important work, it is always advisable that you arrive on time. Being late for an appointment or a meeting or even an outing with friends conveys carelessness and doesn’t give a good impression of you to others.
  2. Be comfortable
    Imagine that you have gone to meet someone for the first time and when they arrive, they don’t seem very comfortable and relaxed. What kind of an impression would you have of that person? Not a good one I suppose. So it’s very important to be at ease and to be comfortable when you are meeting new and important people because the other person will also be at ease then and the whole situation will move forward smoothly.
  3. Be confident
    Confidence is something that should always be in you. Be it to make a good impression, to be more optimistic, to be an effective speaker, etc. Exhibiting confidence is extremely important to make a good first impression. It shows people that you are sure of yourself.indian army lady officer
  4. Dress appropriately.
    According to psychologists, our clothes are a major deciding factor of how we will be evaluated and what kind of an impression others will have of us. Always keep the occasion and the event in mind before stepping out. It’s very important to dress according to the occasion. It has a direct impact on your confidence. You don’t want to feel out of place, do you?
  5. Handshake
    Another really important deciding factor about the formation of impressions is your handshake. Your handshake should be warm, sincere and friendly. It should neither be too weak or too firm. A good handshake shouldn’t last more than a few seconds. If you are sitting and are introduced to someone, always stand and shake hands. It shows respect towards the other person.
  6. Eye Contact.
    Maintain a proper eye contact with the person with whom you’ve just met. It helps in building rapport. It also shows that you are confident and it attracts the other person towards you as it shows that you are listening to what they are saying.
  7. Smile
    The saying “smile and the world smiles too” holds very true when it comes to making good first impressions. Always keep your smile on while meeting new people. It makes you as well as the other person feel as ease. Smiling also makes others to evaluate you more positively. But don’t overdo it.

8 Psychological Tricks To Convince People

8 Psychological Tricks To Convince People

Anybody would appreciate and look up to a person with good convincing and persuading skills. Come to think of it, all of our daily conversations are in some way or the other acts of convincing and persuading people. Our conversations include our ideas, views, opinions and feelings about a particular thing. Think about it for a minute: whenever you are involved in any discussion, at the end you will always have a different view about that particular topic of discussion. You might either change your opinion or you might hold it even more assertively.
Either way, your thinking is bound to change. How does that change occur? Due to an individual’s convincing and persuading skills. From the SSB point of view, having good persuading skills is important for your Group Discussions (GD) and Lecturette.

Coming from a psychology background, I can assure you that having good and impactful convincing skills is a major differentiating feature between a successful person and a mediocre person.

Download:

The whole act of convincing and persuading people is psychological. It basically falls under one of its branches called social psychology.

Here are some of the psychological tricks you can use to convince people:

  1. Be confident. Talk fast.
    Any individual is more likely to listen to and comply with a person who is confident while speaking and knows what he’s speaking. Audiences assume that a confident speaker is more knowledgeable and trustworthy which acts as an advantage to the speaker since it increases the chances of the audience being convinced. (Amplification hypothesis)
  2. Decide when to talk fast and when to talk slow.
    There might come a situation where you feel that the audience is a tough one. In cases where the audience seems hard to please, talk fast. It makes it harder for them to point at the flaws and actually listen to what you are saying. Similarly, when your audience likes you, talk slowly. Give them time to accept what you are saying.
  3. Reciprocity.
    It works on the fact that it’s a common human tendency to return a favour and requests done by others. For example, in a college setting it might involve one student asking his friend to give him notes in return for a favour he did his friend earlier.
  4. Flattery.
    In other words also known as buttering! Flattery works really well when we want to convince someone. It’s very simple provided you do it right. If you try to flatter someone who thinks highly of himself/herself (high self-esteem) then it’s more likely to work because you are validating their views about themselves which keep their cognitive balance in harmony. But if you flatter someone with low self-esteem, it will probably not work at all since what you are saying is not at all same to what the person thinks of himself/herself.
  5. Mirroring.
    This again works on the principle of validation of thoughts about self. The name is quite self-explanatory. During a conversation with someone, observe their body language, their gestures, and their postures. Mirror them. Copy their hand movements while speaking. It will make the person to like you more which in a way will make you to convince them better.
  6. Nod
    This trick is really simple yet effective. A nod is basically you telling the other person that you agree with them. This has a psychological effect on the person whom you are trying to convince. A nod is basically you telling the other person that you agree with them. When you want to convince someone nod in front of them while speaking. They will also end up nodding and in a way agreeing with what you are saying.
  7. Foot In The Door
    This technique is used by an individual to convince and persuade another individual with a smaller request first and then the actual bigger request. If you go to someone with a request or if you want to persuade someone, you would first ask for a small favour, when the other person accepts that request you would then ask the bigger (actual) request that you wanted all along. Example, Can I borrow the car to go to the store?” followed by “Can I borrow the car for the weekend?” The person is likely to accept the second bigger request since he accepted the first one and in a way feels obligated to accept the second request as well.
  8. Door In The Face Technique
    This is the opposite of the foot in the door technique. In this, one starts off with an unreasonable and a bigger request (that he knows will not be accepted) and then comes down to a smaller and more reasonable request (which he actually wanted). The person whom you are trying to convince will automatically comply because you have scaled down your request from being too unreasonable to acceptable.

Next time you want to convince people in a GD, a speech or an interview you might want to try the above-mentioned tricks!

India Making A Secret Nuclear City?

indian nuclear city

Hello, Warriors. If recent reports are to be believed, India is building an entire nuclear city in Karnataka to produce thermonuclear weapons.  Yes, you read it right, an entire city!

The top secret facility poised for completion in 2017 would be the subcontinent’s largest military-run complex of nuclear centrifuges.

Among the project’s aims are to expand the government’s nuclear research, to produce fuel for India’s nuclear reactors, and to help power the country’s fleet of new submarines.

The secret city is located in Challakere, nearly 260km from Mysore. The facility might upgrade the country as a nuclear power and unsettle the balance of power in the region.

The government has divulged little about the nuclear facility and made no public promises about how the highly enriched uranium to be produced there would be utilized. As a military facility, it is not open to international inspection and it gives India an upper hand to manufacture nukes.

Download:

The facility aims to give India an extra stockpile of enriched uranium fuel that could be used in new hydrogen bombs, also known as thermonuclear weapons, substantially increasing the explosive force of those in its existing nuclear arsenal.

New Delhi has never published a detailed account of its nuclear arsenal, which it first developed in 1974, and there has been little public notice outside India about the construction at Challakere and its strategic implications.indian nuclear city

India already possesses between 90 and 110 nuclear weapons, as compared to Pakistan’s estimated stockpile of up to 120. China, which borders India to the north, has approximately 260 warheads. China and Pakistan, could see this move as a provocation and they might respond by ratcheting up their own nuclear firepower. Pakistan, in particular, considers itself a military rival, having engaged in four major conflicts with India, as well as frequent border skirmishes. Nuclear war between India and Pakistan is not as unlikely as it may come to our thinking.

This so called “secret” came under the notice of public when The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change approved the Mysore site’s construction in October 2012 as “a project of strategic importance” that would cost nearly $100 million, according to a letter marked “secret,” from the ministry to atomic energy officials that month.

The ambition was (is?) to feed new centrifuges with fuel derived from yellowcake — milled uranium ore — shipped from mines in the village of Jadugoda in India’s north, 1,200 miles away from the Rare Materials Plant, and to draw water from the nearby Krishna Raja Sagar dam.

So, what do you think of this? A good move by India or a secret not well kept?

Recommended For UES Navy From Visakhapatnam

Hard work always pays.

I, Simranjeet Singh, a student of final year engineering have been a die hard fan of joining esteemed Indian Armed Forces.My only goal was to join the defence forces.I was about to appear for SSB after a long gap of 3 years. Previously I appeared for ssb in NDA(2 times) & TES(1 time) entry.& was conferenced out every time. I thought there was really something missing in me.I started doing introspection & analysed myself. I also joined SSB training Bhilai academy of Retd.Commander Ravikant Soni which was very useful for me.

Here was I in Allahabad for UES-ARMY for my 4th time, but to my surprise I was screened out. I was really shattered.I then considered to be a bad luck & moved on.

Then came my 5th attempt on 23 Jan for UES-NAVY & again I was standing in a SSB(NSB VISAKHAPATNAM).205 people reported ,chest numbers were allotted & I got chest no. 10 & then started the long screening procedure along with distribution of TA to freshers.37 repeaters were there in total & rest freshers.

Download:

DAY 1-

Screening procedure started with 2 OIR tests having 50 questions each.They were too easy & I was able to solve them all before time.(A tip for all- Don’t take unduly stress if you don’t fare well in OIR tests. Just focus on the next test as the next test is which has more weight age.)

Then PPDT it was.

We’re shown a blur picture & I wrote a +ve story on it.Buckle up friends, the fish market was just about to open.

Yes discussion on the story it was.

We were divided into 12 members each group.

Our discussion started according to the trend, yes like a fish market.But soon the offer divided us into 2 groups & then the discussion went well & our group was able to conclude.

Finally, after a long wait of 4 hours, our results came & 40 people were screened in.

I got chest no. 9

We were then made to fill some forms including the important PIQ form(one tip friends-don’t take PIQ form as to be a simple form as it reveals what you are.Fill the form in neat legible handwriting with true details as these forms go to all 3 assessors & you’ll be questioned on the basis of these forms)

Rooms were allotted & we got double Decker beds + a lot of bed bugs.

But the night went easy after a long chat with newly made friends.Recommended For UES Navy From Visakhapatnam

 

DAY 2-

Psychology tests were conducted.

Here is what I done -I decided to be +ve in all the tests whatever the situation might be.

Tip for all- Write +ve stories displaying your officer like qualities.Don’t go with pre-prepared stories,just write according to what picture shows.

Try to be as much as possible in WAT & show your qualities in the sentences.

In SRT write full reactions by putting yourself in the situation & writing your response according to that.

For SELF DESCRIPTION test go prepared & write that which matches with what you’ve written in PIQ.

My tests went well & I wrote +ve reactions.

Few people had their interviews & rest were allowed to visit the city.

We went to the RK beach, visited INS Kursura museum (the only of its kind in ASIA) & called our homes.

 

DAY 3

It was the GTO day.

Our GTO was a jolly guy with always a smile on his face & a joke on his lips.

Our group discussion went well.(Tip-Give good valid points & try to be a good listener as well.Give other chances to speak & maintain the decorum of the discussion)

Next was group planning exercise & we did well in that.Our group was able to solve the problem & reached a final solution.

Next was PROGRESSIVE GROUP TASK.

It was just a game of our brains.

In every obstacle I gave good ideas & implemented others ideas too.

(Tip-try to be as cooperative as possible & take the group along with you.

We completed the task in time.

Our GTO was continuously picking us by commenting that we lacked common sense.

Same happened in HALF GROUP TASK.

Next was SNAKE RACE. We decided that I will push others who can’t climb wall & then climb myself.

Finally we won only because of coordination & helping each other.

Usually the days ends with SNAKE RACE but our GTO needed more action & we were taken for INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLE RACE.

We were already panting like dogs after the race.

The IO race started & I was able to perform 7 obstacles only as I was very much exhausted.

(Tip-try to have firm grip in rope obstacles as a petty mistake might hurt you badly.)

After the race we all were like breathless lads gasping for air.

Few people got injured too.

To our relief our tasks ended & we were allowed to visit the city again.

 

DAY 4-

Rest of the GTO tasks were scheduled for today.

1st was the command task & mine was really a grueling one.While doing it ,GTO kept on firing me with questions & comments along with.Finally I was able to complete it.

The tasks ended with FINAL GROUP TASK which was an exact replica of PROGRESSIVE GROUP TASK.

I was called for interview immediately after the task that too on my GTO dress.

INTERVIEW-

INTERVIEW started formally. But soon I was grilled to the core about my knowledge about INDIAN NAVY.

I was questioned about my previous attempts & answered all the questions honestly.Tip here is to answer the questions with a cool & calm mind by giving only that much of information which has been asked for.My interview lasted only for about 40 mins.

 

DAY 5 (D DAY-CONFERENCE)

The heartbeats were above the normal.

It was republic day & we were like that I could be the most memorable day of our life-Being recommended on 26th January.

The conference started soon & we  were called in the hall.

There was a long wait before my entrance into the hall.Then I was called in.I was asked routine questions about food,city,accommodation etc.

Then I was asked to describe my city’s visit experience in 5 lines, which I did.

Soon within 2 hours conference was over of our batch.

After 2 hours the officer in crisp white uniform came & gave the motivational address.

Our heartbeats our high.

It was really tense.Then he started calling out the chest numbers of recommended candidates.

The 1st chest no. he called was 9.Yes yes yes.

It was me.Finally I made it.

In succession 3 more nos. were called.

Altogether 4 people were recommended.I was the only one recommended from my group.I was happy like hell but was also sad that many of my friends were about to leave.We were not even allowed to meet them.Soon we were made to fill a lot of forms which took hours.I chose to appear for medicals later.

In short I’d like to conclude with a line that –

Setting a goal, dreaming about it & working for it finally reaps results.

Good bye friends.

Hoping of joining INA after clearing medicals & merit list.
