3. Can you come up with an year plan?
It shouln'tbe quantized on the day to day basis but yes on the per task basis it can be done. And I think that should be the practice. Once the task priority is determined, the next step is to allocate the required time frame for the tasks. But remember it's not always the case of 'direct proportionate' relation between the task priority and the time allocated for its completion. Higher priority tasks are simple the one that need to finished first.
an srray is the collection of similar data elements.
on't think like that. U have no weekness, u r thinking that u have problems. There is no weekness think positively. If u think u r a positive person behave like that. If u r positive there is no weekness. Life is very big enjoy it. Don't worrry i hope u r a brave person go ahead.

It's not true that only the professionals from the specialized branch are required at a freshers post. I, non-computer background engg. placed in a CMMI-5 Indian leading s/w firm in PLM domain, believe that the campus recruitees just check ones logical content and confidance during PI at the entry level. Besides this, communication is given priority. Technical excellence and participation in socio-culture activities add values. Mechanical enggs can contribute to s/w company by their excellent analytical skills. It's very clear that given training, moreover opportunity, they can prove themselves well and can stand tall among the s/w enggs.

1) I have been here a few years now and feel it's time to move on to find fresh challenges as I feel my current role is not properly utilizing my existing skills nor is it allowing me to develop new skills.
2) There are potential redundancies coming up and I would rather find something of my own accord whilst I have the chance rather than wait to be told I'm on the list and then start looking.
3) I feel I'm ready for more responsibility. My current firm only offers promotion to people according to length of service and there are far too many people who joined before me, not that I begrudge them that but I feel I need to move up at a faster pace than I am currently able.
4) I was promised training and development when I joined my company and so far nothing has been forthcoming. I feel I need to move somewhere where I can develop my skills further and move up in my career.

A data warehouse is a relational database that is designed for query and analyze rather than for transaction processing.It usually contains the historical data derived from transaction data.It separates analysis workload from transaction workload and enables an organisation to consolidate data from different sources.
IT support is the group which is responsible for smooth working of the entire IT infrastructure. IT infrastructure is Hardware and software deployed in the organization. Hardware normally includes PC, printers, phone etc and software include the various application used by the people employed in the organization i.e. accounting, payroll etc
IT support will ensure that both hardware and software are working fine and if there is any problem with it they will rectify the problem. Problem solution can be permanent fix to the current problem or it can be the ad-hoc solution to the problem. In case of ad-hoc solution IT support team will ensure that permanent solution is provided. For that they will suggest/forward the solution to the person who is responsible for that particular system.

28. Do you know what is the biggest mistake that you have done? How you have overcome it?
Always try to give a technical mistake , if ever, made by you. Never take the chance to show your personal side so far as possible.
Review about the job performance for about the past 20 days or so....
Make out a chart based on the various sub-jobs you are required to perform...
Place a marker as your pass line....
Find out at which sub-jobs you are under the marker....
Try finding out the basic reasons behind your failure...
Concentrate on sub-jobs where you have under performed rather than on increasing your performance on the already well performed sub jobs...
Repeat the same process until you feel you are comfortable with all the sub-jobs and that there is a significant increase in your job performance....
30. Explain how do you handle conflict?
I have had conflicts in the past so I think I should share with you.. Never major ones, but certainly there have been situations where there was a disagreement that needed to be resolved. I've found that when conflict occurs, it's because of a failure to see both sides of the situation. Therefore, I ask the other person to give me their perspective and at the same time ask that they allow me to fully explain my perspective. At that point, I would work with the person to find out if a compromise could be reached. If not, I would submit to their decision because they are my superior. In the end, you have to be willing to submit yourself to the directives of your superior, whether you're in full agreement or not.
31. Tell us how would you describe your ideal job?
An ideal job is one wherein your contribution makes a significant impact on the business and is always appreciated.
Every decision more or less depends on time,if it permits then I will make it out in anyone of the following three different processes.
->If i will found some types of lacks,then after a deep counselling,I will send him/her to a rebuilting process.
->Otherwise,I will swap the jobs between him/her and other employees.
->The last way is to set back him/her.
i will help first to CFO as he has to go for meeting in 15 mnts. On other hand ,problem of printer is always smaller then the booting broblem..problem of CEO will take more time then problem of printing. same time I can allot stand by system to CEO on temparory basis.
I work as a Software Engineer and I was informed by my manager that I had to deliver a presentation on the current project to a group of collegues, seniors and officers from other department. This was a mix audience. Though I was very confident about the technicalities, I felt it was almost impossible for me to ensure that each listener got the message.
I research on the net on how to prepare for a presentation and took a lot of support from team members, found out what each person attending was expecting, prepared an outline of the presentation, did some mock sessions. Also, kept some time for questions. When I delivered, I was confident and it was an interactive session. At the end couple of them congratualted me for delivering an excellent presentation.
Now, anytime a presentation needs to be delivered, my manager checks with me, if I am willing.
I will check out both, find out which is better and more efficient , I will choose that one....
If his technique is better, I will do in his suggested way, otherwise I will explain my way to him.
