Good Bye MBA With the Hope of New Beginning

My MBA course work is about to finish, only one week left. The feelings are mixed, sometimes I feel Thanks God it’s finished, but sometimes it makes me very sad when I think that it’s going to be over. No more university life, no more university friends, no more joke exchange after the class in the university café.

It is all the part of life, people come and go and the life goes on. All you take with yourself are the memories. Memories for the whole of your life.

The journey of my MBA started in January 2008. When I first entered the campus I found a new world. A new place, new faces, everything was new for me. I was enriched with great enthusiasm but I was bit nervous as well.

When I entered the class, some people were already sitting. Few looked at me but I took the front seat without looking back at them and started to wait for the teacher. It was a class of microeconomics. I still remember the guy who taught us this subject. Although he was very strict but he gave all the students jump start to their academic career.

Soon afterward, we students started to know each other and became friends. I also found some guys (or you can say they found me) and made a study group. The time started to move on. Days are gone, months are gone and even the years are gone. And now I am just a few steps away from my graduation.

I found the whole journey very painstaking. Taking a job and studies together was very tedious, but I learned a lot. I have developed my personality to progress in my professional as well as personal life. Now I find myself more intelligent and wise decision maker. Improved everything which a professional needs to have in his personality.

Let’s hope for good and I pray that we all friends should be friends forever and progress in our life greatly. God bless us all.

Muslims' Contribution to Human Civilization: Great Speech by Musab Iqbal

Muslims' Contribution to Human Civilization Part 1

Muslims' Contribution to Human Civilization 2

Musab Iqbal, a great personality of contemporary time. A philosopher, a thinker, a writer, an inspirational speaker, I don’t have enough words to describe his personality. All I know is that he really impressed me with his knowledge.

I like not only his ideas but the way he speaks to the audience. He lives in India and has become the friend of an ordinary person like me through Facebook. He is currently on a tour across India to deliver his inspirational speeches.

He sent me few of his speeches through email. In this excellent speech “Muslims' Contribution to Human Civilization”, he has told us how Muslims contributed to the growth of human civilization.

The last part of this speech is unforgettable, but you need to listen the whole speech in order to understand his message to the Muslim community across the globe.

There are few more of his speeches I have, which I will share soon.

Thanks Musab for giving me the rights to share this speech to my readers.

Things to Do Before an Interview (Points to Remember for New Job Seekers)

After completing your studies, your first priority is to get a job that can give you a way to promising career. You start to apply for job positions and finally get a first interview call. This call for your first job interview would make you happy as well as scared. But, if you follow some basic ethics before sitting in front of an interviewer, there is nothing to worry about.

Know the Address Perfectly: Very after the interview call that you receive, find out the exact location of a company. Ask your parents and friends to let you understand the route. You can even search Google maps to hit the exact location (it really works). Moreover, know the bus routes if you will go by bus.

Research About the Company: Check the website of a company to know what does this company do. Have an overview about the history, what product and service they sell and how long they have been in the business.

Read Interview Questions: Read some possible interview questions and their answers. As you are new in the job market and have no or very little work experience, the interviewer would ask more career and education oriented questions to figure out your skills, abilities and your suitability for the job position.

Dress Code: Your first impression on a hiring manager would be your attire. Dress nicely and professionally, even you go for an interview in the evening.

For boys, wear dark color dress pant with light color dress shirt, and don't forget to wear a tie. Wear clean and polished shoes along with light perfume.

For girls, wear light color dress with minimum makeup and jewelery. Wear low heel shoes and light perfume.

Copies of Resume: It's important that you should take at least 2 copies of your CV. One for the interviewer and one for yourself to avoid mis-communication.

Don't Eat Too Much: When you eat a lot, you start to feel like lazy and sleepy. Hence, avoid eating too much food before going to an interview. Instead, have a light breakfast or lunch with fresh juice. This way you would not lose energy and would feel confident and active during the interview.

Reach Before the Given Time: Try to be at interview place few minutes before the time mentioned by your potential employer. Avoid getting late, or if you get late for any reason, inform the employer hours before the interview time.

In this post, I tried to help you to know how to get prepared for a job interview. These tips will keep you confident, energetic and motivated before, during and after the interview. You can leave a lasting impression on the interviewer, which would increase the chances of getting the job.

Try Paraphrasing instead of copying and pasting from internet for assignments and alike

Without knowing the future impairments, students of most of the educational institutions copy and paste the already published material from the internet for their assignments, term reports and projects. This act can bring in some good marks but not the real knowledge for which they have been perusing their education.

Students should think by themselves that this act of copying and pasting (the word plagiarism is used for copying and pasting someone else work and presented it as yours) cannot help them to improve their knowledge and skills, and when they will go into their practical life they will fail to accomplish the real time tasks. In today’s fast paced environment when opportunities are shrinking and the competition for a single position has been increasing, how one can bear a burden of having an MBA degree or alike and not having adequate knowledge because of copy paste act throughout the academic career. Employer won’t hire a person, who cannot prove to be a right candidate even after having a right degree for the available post.

The effective alternate way: Paraphrasing

Realize the reality and instead of copying the full material, do paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is done by reading related material and jotting down the important points. After doing this, the concept and broader view of a topic should be developed in your mind. Now start to write what is in your mind on a paper or a word- processor on computer. Write randomly without thinking that what you are writing is right or wrong. Once you are done with writing what is in your mind, take a break. After few minutes or even hours, start reading and editing what you have written. Finally, you will see you have produced a very good material with complete hand on information on the topic. This way you will improve your reading skills, writing skills, and creative thinking.

Try once and you will feel pleasure doing this again and again.
