Moving to a New the City


You have left university, completed your education in style and secured yourself a fancy job in London city.


It’s safe to say your university mates are probably burning with jealousy that you have hit the big-time while they have to work in the local pub until a potential employer glances at their newly made CV and calls them for a dreaded interview.


Don’t let them rain on your parade! You have worked hard throughout school, college and work experience placements so be grandiose in your jubilance and celebrate with abandon. While others were bunking off classes and copying homework assignments you were being the requisite student and revising for exams, writing essays and filling out university applications.


Perhaps your social life was a little neglected and your interpersonal skills are akin to rescued travellers who were brought up in human isolation, only to be raised by a loving pack of wolves. Nevertheless you are now in London baby; the city of glamour, sophistication and 24 hour eateries. Clubs, pubs, restaurants, museums, galleries and parks will be your oyster for the next few years.


Visit the sights and experience the culture, diversity and rhythm of the metropolitan capital when you get time away from your London office space. Working your way up the career ladder can be a pleasant experience if you remember to make room for socialising and enjoying the surroundings during your leisure time.


Invite friends round to your newly rented apartment to help you move in and set up the space. This is the time when you can design your abode to your exact specifications and build a home that you feel comfortable in. The space should suit your fresh job credentials and reflect your plans for the future.


Now is the time to grab the bull by the horns and let loose while you are young, free and single. London is a hotbed of activity for young people who have moved to the city and your presence and interaction with the local community will only prove to enrichen it. So prepare to be enveloped in the beauty of the city and transform your life.

IAS Exam Preparation Guidance and Success Tips


Indian Administrative service (IAS) is the most reputed Job of India. The Officers of this respected Civil service are recruited through Civil service examination (also called IAS exam) conducted by UPSC. IAS service though has incomparable power associated with it, it also brings numerous responsibilities. For example, An IAS officer (and also officers of other reputed civil service like IFS, IPS) has to be diplomatic enough to understand and manage the situations that arise in the civil services on a regular basis.


Civil services are no bed of roses. Thus the UPSC takes full care in recruitment of the officers that’ll manage the steel frame of the country. There job is to fit the Right man into the Right job and they are experts in doing it. There are a few qualities that are being looked for in the candidate during selection process. This is the reason why the success rate is so low in this exam. Lakhs of students compete every year for getting into prestigious civil services, but only about less than a thousand make it.


In order to be successful, a candidate firstly has to make a right concept in mind about this exam. Success is not very far if preparation is done on a regular basis. Structurally preparing for every stage brings the candidate to some milestone in the first attempt itself (or even may go through). Provided that the new pattern of the IAS exam is likely to give importance to younger candidates with sharp and agile mind and dedication as the aptitude factor is the sole criteria now to judge candidates in the prelims exam.


Consulting any senior and successful candidate, Reading the toppers testimonials and going through previous IAS exam papers is always helpful for developing the right concept. It’s not necessary to cover the entire syllabus in the exam, because the expectations of UPSC are not possible to overcome in real sense. But candidate needs to analyze his strengths and then to focus upon them to facilitate his success in this exam rather than trying to prepare everything.


Remember, the recruiters are only assessing one’s personality and not judging it finally. Because the personality of a person keeps changing throughout his whole life. Thus every candidate must analyze himself if he is right for this job or not. This assessment can be done in the attempt or two, and if no positive signs are seen in initial attempts, the candidate must leave trying back to back and try something that suites his personality. Because more than anything it’s about something that lies inside that the recruiters are able to see even the candidate doesn’t know it. It’s the reason why some candidates make it to IAS in the first attempt itself, and many people aren’t able to go through even after seven attempts.


Thus, candidates must not waste numerous years for IAS preparation in various coaching institutes. Specially lower and middle class candidates should think carefully and not to sit with it after two or three unsuccessful attempts. As the IAS toppers say that success is about analyzing the competition and strengths and then preparing structurally for every stage with a right concept in mind.


All the Best for your Success!!!!

Interview Question: Can You Give Me an Example of When You Have Had to Demonstrate Business Acumen?


“Can you give me an example of when you have had to demonstrate business acumen?”


This is a very common interview question liked by many employers. In the legal profession this is asked in almost every single interview for solicitors, paralegals and partners.


HR managers and other recruitment professionals in a whole range of different types of interview regularly ask about business acumen, whether these are legal job interviews, accountancy interviews, interviews for managers at a whole load of different levels.


Sometimes employers try to throw a spanner in the works and ask you what the difference is between commercial awareness and business acumen (there isn’t one!).


Quite a lot of people who have been in business for some years have no problem at all answering this question because they have an understanding as to what a commercial organisation is looking for, but students and new entrants to the job market struggle with the whole concept as well as quite a few non-professionals who are advising on careers.


The whole reason for employers asking this question is to make sure that the person they are interviewing actually understands the concept of working for your daily bread.


This means understanding that if you are being paid a salary and the organisation you are working for is dependent on making a profit in order to pay you that salary then you have to contribute to making the profit. If you do not understand this when you are not going to be much use to any employer.


It is a common fallacy amongst graduates that they are joining an organisation in order to further their own career and to gain good experience for themselves. It is often reflected in covering letters and emails and also in CVs. This is completely the wrong attitude to take to job searching. You have to consider every single job from the perspective of the employer. If you do not do this then chances are you will be rejected.


So when you are asked a question about business acumen think what it is you are being asked to understand. If you are speaking to a partner of a very senior organisation, he is expecting you to understand that companies are there to make a profit. Business acumen is demonstrated by understanding that the employer does this in certain ways through marketing, business development, selling to existing clients, performing a job effectively to get repeat business and successfully tendering for business as well.


If you are interviewing with a smaller firm then none of the above is particularly relevant. They are more interested in your own ability at marketing, business development, generating your own clients, making sure that your billing levels are high in order to ensure a good level of profitability and to understand that you are there to make your employer money so that he or she in return can pay you.


If you can demonstrate this very quickly through describing a situation when you have had to show business acumen, you will have answered this question well. This merely needs to be something along the lines of marketing, business development, increasing profits for a company or organisation, or being involved in sales.


Preferably, this needs to be in a work environment so if you are a student try to avoid going back to your young enterprise schemes at school and concentrate on any part-time work you have done where you have identified a way of improving profitability for that particular company.


If you are a professional in a business then try to concentrate on your most existing role and give a demonstration of when you have either increased profitability, increased sales, generated extra work, getting the client, boosted your billing levels or something similar.


Keep it short and sweet and straight to the point and you should have no problem at all with answering this question.
