7 Interview Etiquettes Candidates Should Know

Free mind with good tactics of working efficiently make an officer. From mental to physical performance, candidates have to accelerate from major points to hidden facts and tricks. 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.

Nepalese Army Chief

Hello, Warriors. The Nepalese Chief of Army Staff, General Rajendra Chhetri is on his first official visit to India. This is also his first trip abroad since assuming command of the country’s military on September 10, last year.

Chhetri is leading a nine-member delegation to India on a five-day visit which started on 1st February. The CoAS was officially invited by the Indian Army General Dalbir Singh.

As per the tradition of conferring honorary titles to each other’s Army chiefs between two nations, Indian President Pranab Mukherjee decorated Chhetri amid a programme at the President’s Office on 3rd February. Chettri’s first foreign trip since becoming CoAS of Nepal Army has, however, courted controversy as it has come at the time when the country is reeling under the unofficial blockade imposed by the southern neighbour, India.

He also held bilateral talks during separate meetings with Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Robin K. Dhowan, Chief of Staff Committee General Bikram Singh, Chief of the Air Staff Arup Raha and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.Nepalese Army Chief

The purpose of the visit is yet to be unveiled by the Nepalese Army headquarters.

He is also a qualified Psychological Testing Officer from the Defense Institute of Psychological Research, New Delhi.

Chhetri also observed various Indian army units during the visit.

Nepal and India have strong military ties and India provides a lot of military equipment, hardware, stores and other logistics to the Nepalese Army.

Since 1950, Nepal and India have been awarding army chiefs of each other with the honorary rank “in recognition of mutual harmonious relationships between two armies.” The tradition of exchanging the honorary titles between chiefs the Nepal Army and the Indian Army helps to strengthen the ties between the two countries.

Meanwhile, Nepal Army’s Lieutenant General Mahat assumed responsibilities of the CoAS in Chhetri’s absence.

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.

7 Army Leadership Traits

7 Army Leadership Traits

A lot of time, effort and money have gone into the study of Leadership. So it’s no surprise that leadership is a much sought after quality that most of the organizations look for in the candidates who apply for jobs. Just like any other organization, the Indian Armed Forces also seek leadership qualities in the candidates. But why is it so important? Why is so much of emphasis been given to make each and every employee a leader and why is it that only a handful emerges as leaders? Who exactly is a leader?

 

A leader is someone who will direct the team members towards a certain goal and at the same time work with the team members to realise and achieve that goal. A leader is an individual who understands the importance of working together with people.

 

Download:

Coming to our Armed Forces where a clear distinctive hierarchy exists, the role of a leader is very important. The troops, the soldiers all depend on their officers (the leaders) to show and guide them through difficult situations. The responsibility of the troops lies solely on their leader. It’s no wonder that leadership is an important sought after quality and is one of the 15 OLQs.

Following are some of the army leadership traits:

  1. Confidence: The army leaders are confident individuals. They know what to do, how to do it and when to do it. The confidence of the leader in turn motivates and reassures the team members. An effective leader cannot lack confidence, for it would not evoke trust of the subordinates in him/her. Failure isn’t an option for army leaders.
  2. Communication: An effective leader communicates with his/her subordinates. Imagine a leader who doesn’t provide you with feedbacks and who doesn’t inquire about the status of your task. Such a leader wouldn’t be considered an effective one at all. Communication in the form of feedback and advice as well as listening to the issues and suggestions subordinates is important.
  3. Determination and Motivation: Imagine a leader who isn’t driven towards his work, or a leader who isn’t much bothered to fulfil and achieve the goals. Such a leader wouldn’t be a great example for his subordinates would he? An army leader will always be determined to complete the tasks that have been assigned to them and their team. They are always high on energy which acts as a great motivator the troops and the other team members. The army leaders are always motivated, irrespective of the severe climatic conditions or the dangerous situations. They are themselves motivated and motivate the troops as well. They focus on the greater good rather than focussing on themselves.
  4. Optimism: We all are aware of the tough conditions in which our Armed Forces soldiers serve our nation. In such situations which can get easily depressing, the optimism of their leader is very important. I’m sure we all will agree when I say that having a boss who’ll guide you is better than having a boss who’ll drag you into the mud.
  5. Supportive and Encouraging: Never have I come across any Armed Forces personnel who doesn’t support, guide and encourage his/her subordinates and even the colleagues for that matter. A true army leader will always be supportive and encourage the team members to think innovatively, to take risks, to tell the truth.7 Army Leadership Traits
  6. Quick decision-making ability and Reasoning ability: The nature of the job of the Armed Forces personnel includes uncertainty. One moment everything might seem alright and the next moment the situation might change completely. Due to such unpredictable and uncertain nature of the job, quick decision-making ability is an essential trait that must be present in the officers. In the heat of the moment, a decision may backfire. To avoid such unfortunate situations, the leaders must possess sound reasoning ability. Upon receiving all the information required to make a decision, a leader will never waste time and just go for it.
  7. Integrity: A leader will have impact on his subordinates only if he has integrity. Being candid, honest, fair and forthright is crucial. An effective leader will always treat people around him the way he wants to be treated.
