College Basketball: NCAA Championships

Not all children are able to continue their education to the college level.÷  Earning a college degree can be difficult.÷  Location, available courses need to be carefully considered, as well as the cost of enrollment.÷  Many students therefore apply for financial aid; if they are talented in sports, they look into sports scholarships, which could also serve as a stepping stone for a career in professional sports.÷  They test their probability of availing such scholarships during the recruitment period.÷  Students who are gifted in basketball, for instance, try out in college basketball recruiting.


Getting Under The Overqualified Dilemma

The concept of being "overqualified" is intriguing. Job seekers who are desperate for employment rarely agree with this assessment when being denied jobs. If you"ve ever been lumped into the "overqualified" category you are not alone. In fact, you join the ranks of an ever increasing pool of candidates who have a combination of experience, credentials, and/or education that will make you stick out like a sore thumb in the position for which you are applying.


Interview Skills| Dropping Names in an Interview?

If you should then how should you?

I have been involved with interviews for senior management positions and I noticed this rather charming trick of dropping names by asking ò€˜Oh, you were at the Taj, would you know so-n-so?ò€™

It is cute. But here are my reservations to the deed:

1. If the interviewer does not know the people you mention, it first becomes uncomfortable, and then outright embarrassing for them. Not a good place to put the person who is there to decide about you.

2. If the interviewer does know them, and does not have a good equation with them, it could turn ugly. You singing praises of them will only make the interviewer rethink your ability to judge human character.

3. If the interviewer does know them, and knows them well to call them friends, your strategy might pay off, if they too speak highly of you. Casually mentioning somebody senior, then realizing they may not remember you, may work just the opposite.

I would resist creating adhoc relationships in the span of an interview, but If you have to, do the following:

1. Research the interviewer. Places of work, memberships, alumni, face book etc.

2. Call up people you think he/she might know and ask them about the interviewer. If the people you know give you a go-ahead to drop their names in the interview, by all means go ahead.

So go ahead, show the interviewer you know the right people and that the they know you too, only make sure itò€™s the ò€˜interviewer rightò€™ kind of right people!

Happy Interviewing!
