FACING AN INTERVIEW
Facing and interview is not an easy thing to do, especially if it for your first time facing an interview. there those who have faced several interviews and have gotten used to it , even though there are some who never get used to it. An interviews matters a lot since from it is where you create you first impression to the employers and its because of the impression  among other attributes you make that will help or boost you to e able to be selected in. There are several things that make an interview not be successful and we will discuss  a few and how to overcome such shortcomings.

 Having knowledge about the employer

There have been cases of individuals who face an interview and have no any idea  about the employers and their companies.Most employers find this offensive and it reduces your chances of not being selected. There is no excuse for ignorance, hence you have to a proper research about the company you are going to have your interview at get familiarized with their policies so as to be on a safe side

 Get prepared to answer general questions rather than technical Questions

People always get well prepared to answer technical questions related to their lines of duties and for a fact employers are well informed about this and they tend to settle on general questions which most people most times fails to prepare and this questions hit them as a surprise and they get stuck in the interviewers.Hence getting prepared for general questions helps to avoid this kind situations.

Asking Questions

Asking questions during the interview portray a good trait and has a positive indication that you are not afraid and you are confident having that sessions.It also shows you are interested in the company and this quality attracts employers to consider you for the job

Show Confidence 

One of the problems people face is being anxious and stage fright and never confident with themselves.If you show any sign of doubt it gives a bad impression to the potential employers and reduces your chances to get employed. Its good to start from being decently and smartly dressed this puts yo at ease. when offered a seat you should seat upright and never slouch on the chair. and during your session ensure to maintain eye contact.these shows how much you are confident about yourself.

Check your qualifications

Always ensure your skills match or are above the skills the job position and the company's employer are asking for to help you stand a chance of being selected, otherwise if you are under qualified or overqualified it reduces your chances for if you are under qualified employers would feel as a waste of time interviewing you and if you are overqualified they may feel intimidated by you and in both cases you stand minimal chances of being selected.

Get well prepared before the d day

always ensure to keep important documents well packed and that you have not forgotten any crucial document. Arrange your document in a systematic manner.employers normally pay attention on small details and just from seeing how yo organize your documents they can tell whether you are someone neat and responsible or not.

Punctuality

Don't be too early or too late.few minutes before your session should do. you wont want to keep them waiting 

i wish you all the best when you next go for an interview.

PAPER ROCKETS

PAPER ROCKETS

this was an activity we did after a long break from the vacation and just started a new academic year. As days progressed we had a PPD session which was equally interesting as the rest before, by the one and only Madam Sarasi

The task we were obligated was quite fascinating and for a moment we thought it was a walk in the park ahead of us  was a task to make paper rockets.with only 6 A4 sheets provided to us out of which we had to make as many paper rockets as we could regardless of the size.

The task didn't end on just making paper rockets but yet there was another challenge on testing how far the paper rockets could fly. A line was marked on the ground and challenge was to throw all of them across the line. We were given about 20 minutes to come up with a strategy and make the paper rockets.


Our team members were able to make 36 paper rockets out of the 6 A4 sheets of which we could send 24 rockets across the line.

Our strategy and learning outcomes :

•  Before we utilized the papers given by her, we did a couple of test runs with rockets of varying sizes with another paper.
• We realized that very tiny rockets would be hard to send up and so we agreed on making 6 rockets out of one paper. It was the perfect size and would fly a longer distance.

At the end of it, it was a good and exciting activity that needed paying attention to the little details.

WORD STORY BUILDING

This was an activity that was so fascinating.Students were divided into three groups.Each group was given a section on the board where they were required one person at a time to go to the board and write a word while other team members were required not to look at the board until it was their turn.The next team person was required to come add another word from the previous one to help build up a meaningful story.Time was located to finish up the story and so the faster your team thought of a word the more chances they had to finish building their story.

The activity was so fun and very hilarious. I remember their was a group that someone went to the river and killed by a crocodile but later on the person fetched water and went back home.The point is it was not easy building a story.But as always these activities usually have a lesson at the end of the day.for this activity it included the following:

    In a given project all the individuals involved always have different ideologies basic reason is that      they all have different minds so they will tend to think differently hence the need for them to share

    out their ideas otherwise nothing constructive will be achieved.

    In cooperate world most of the time we will sometimes pick up an unfinished work of someone          else, it may be difficult to complete it to the  target expected because it was someone else who set

    the standards

    Luck of communication also hinders a smooth flow of work as shown in the the stories.Hence it is

    very necessary for communication to exist for smooth work flow
