The Personal interview is one of the three techniques that are framed to access the calibre of a candidate. The interview is the part of the SSB that accesses “

The interview is the part of the SSB that accesses “Vachna” of an aspirant. The interviewing officer decides your selection by conversation over past and present experience and achievements. Apart from communication skill and bulk of experience and OLQs, some basic interview etiquettes must be followed by candidates to impress IO. Here we are having some of them, which every SSB aspirant should follow

Download:

  1. Good Entry – A good beginning is half done. These need to be kept in mind while preparing for SSB interview. Positive entry with humble behaviour makes the good image of the person. Polite voice coupled with gentle entry is the best way to enter the interview room.
  2. Eye Contact – While attending the personal interview, candidates are advised to maintain eye contact with interviewing officer. This not only shows your alertness but also shows your confidence. Avoiding eye while answering any question or thinking something leaves a bad impact over IO.
  3. Posture – The way you sit after entering the room, the way you stand while going out of the room and even the way you sit in entire interview period matter a lot. Shaking legs, biting nails, non-erect posture, etc. should be avoided. These traits show non-presence (mentally), lack of interest or lack of social moral values. Erect posture shows attentiveness and your interest to the speaker/ interviewing officer.
  4. Hand Movements – Hand movement should be as low as possible. Try to bind your palm with your legs. Your attention and discipline will impress the interviewing officer. Hand movement with conversation should be controlled. Excess usage shows low confidence of the candidate.7 Interview Etiquettes Candidates Should Know
  5. Talking Style – The way of talking while the questioning and answering is going should be in a cordial manner. Speaking louder, or in a lazy way, fumbling, confusingly speaking, correcting yourself again and again, might take your chances of selection down.
  6. Mild Smile – Answering with a mild smile on face doubles the impact of the candidate. Personal interview has some questions of enjoyment, seriousness and more, but candidate must keep a smile on the face. Remember, excessive laughing means you are excessively frank and not a serious guy toward your future or work. An officer has to be cool minded in all kinds of situations. An unstable mind can take the entire team to into a problem.
  7. Total Attention – Paying total attention to the interviewing officer shows your attentiveness. It is the most important quality that an officer must possess. Hearing the questions or getting what IO wants to ask, his counter questions and his expression have to be attentively observed and your reply must be as per the requirement of the question. Answering irrelevant or out of topic will reduce IO’s interest in you. Keep the conservation, comprehensive and crisp.

7 Tips To Perform Better In WAT

word association test tips

Psychology is the technique to read the mind by accessing your thoughts without asking you. This technique is called “MANSA” which means what is in your mind. Now we have 4 techniques in this section which are TAT, WAT, SRT and self-description. Here we will make a short summary of tips and tricks to make the WAT simple and easily coverable. WAT is always seen as a most confusing test due to less time to write your responses. The time is given less to reduce the time of thinking and making a candidate to write what is in his mind. The techniques have several aspects and rules to follow. But we are here with some tips and tricks which can improve your performance, keeping your performance and level maintained.

 

Download WAT Solved eBooks

  1. Short Response – WAT is a race against time that actually need to manage the responses in a better and planned way. The response you write must be short and meaningful. Writing a full length sentence wastes time and also disturbs the timing. Short response here indicates that you have to use the word in a meaning-full way rather than any irrelevant one.
  2. Readable Language – Your language must be readable. Make it a bit clear and avoid design penetration while writing. Many candidates have a problem of bad handwriting which is hard to recognize the words. It needs a bit practice. Firstly, practice overruled pages and then try to get the speed over plain pages to get perfect writing skills.
  3. Concentrate on Sequence – This is a common experience that most of the experienced aspirants have got. 15 seconds for reading a word, gathering idea and writing it over sheet is a tough task and skipping or incompletion of sentences is a common thing. The basic way to tackle or overcome this problem is to focus on the beep that rings after change of every word. And if you skip any word, then memorize it and write its response by adjusting your time. In case you lose your sequence, then correct it where ever you recognize your sequence.
  4. OLQ is the Soul of the Sentence – The best way to write A SUITABLE sentence is to keep the OLQs in mind and every sentence must have the shadow of any OLQ rather than a bookish phrase. As told earlier, psychology is not an English test or grammar vocabulary test. It is the test of your mind. Focus on the sentence rather than grammar and vocabulary.word association test tips
  5. Clever Steps – Attempt some WATs that were skipped by you at the time given for Turing and adjusting the page. Turing the page don’t it much time. So use that time to complete or write any response. But try to execute this cleverly and in a non-expressive manner.
  6. Avoid Cuttings – Cutting in psychology is a drawback. Cuttings show your conflicting moods. Now the question is what if you wrote something wrong or want to write something more impressive or improve something. Keep your mind calm and focused and stop improving your sentences grammatically and consume your time fully to write the response. If you want to overwrite then try to make it neat and clean.
  7. Being Positive is all they want – SSB crew wants a mind that always delivers positive response in all situations. Construct your mind in such a way that even negative words will also leave from your mind in a positive way. To practice this, go through a batch of some WAT having negative words like death, accident, disease etc.
