For a person to succeed in an interview and to come out with flying colours is confidence and the ability to judge what questions the interviewer will put up and how efficiently to answer them. We have compiled a few questions, which are most frequently asked during interviews. By rehearsing interview questions, you'll become more familiar with your own qualifications, expectations and will be well prepared to demonstrate how well you can benefit the company. Go through the following examples: TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF This question is mostly common since it tends to create a friendly atmosphere and makes you comfortable and relaxed. Make a short, organized statement of your education and professional achievements and professional goals. Then give your qualifications for the job. WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK IN OUR COMPANY When such question is put you, you have to demonstrate to the interviewer clearly and with enthusiasm your interest in the company. Share what you learned about the job, the company, its prospects and the industry through your own research and describe how your professional qualifications and skills will benefit the company. WHAT ARE YOUR SKILLS THAT WILL BENIFIT OUR CO. This will be easy if you have sufficiently researched the organization, their job expectations and requirements. If you have then you should be able to imagine what qualifications and skills the company values. List them, and then give examples where you have demonstrated these skills. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE IN A GROUP OR ALONE The ideal answer is one of flexibility. However, be honest. Give examples describing how you have worked in both situations. WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS When such a question is put to you, you have to show the interviewer that you are ambitious enough to plan ahead. Talk about your desire to learn more and improve your performance, and be specific as possible about how you will meet the goals you have set for yourself. YOUR HOBBIES By making such a question the interviewer might simply be curious as to whether you have a life outside of work and this also shows that you are less susceptible to stress and have a healthy and happy life. Also the kind of hobby that interests you demonstrates your skills and ability to adjust and work efficiently. For example, hobbies such as chess or bridge demonstrate analytical skills. Reading, music, and painting are creative hobbies. Individual sports show determination and stamina, while group sport activities may indicate you are comfortable working as part of a team. REASONS OF LEAVING LAST JOB The interviewer may want to know the reason why you left the last job, i.e., was it because you were facing some problems or for some other reasons. If you did not have any problems, simply give a reason, such as: company went out of business; temporary job; no possibility of promotion; wanted a job better suited to your skills, etc. If you did have problems, be honest. Show that you can accept responsibility and learn from your mistakes. YOUR SALARY EXPECTATIONS This is a tricky question and the best way out is to wiggle your way out skillfully. You probably don't want to answer this one directly. Instead, deflect the question back to the interviewer by saying something like: "I don't know. What are you planning on paying the best candidate?" Let the employer make the first offer. Also at the same time keep yourself updated with the information as to what the current salary range is for the profession. This information can help you negotiate compensation once the employer makes an offer.
OTHER QUESTIONS WHICH YOU MAY PREPARE Questions about your work experience What have you learned from your past jobs? How does your previous experience relate to this position? What were your biggest responsibilities? Questions about your career goals How ambitious are you? How you judge yourself successful? What type of position are you interested in? Five years from now how do you place yourself? What do you expect from this job? Questions about your qualifications What qualifications do you have that relate to the position you are seeking in this job? What new skills or capabilities have you developed recently? What have been your greatest accomplishments recently? What is most important to you in a job?

BODY ODOUR
What is body odour?
Body odour is a general term for what happens to sweatand other skin secretions when they are acted upon by naturally occurring bacteria. Sweat or perspiration isa salty liquid, which oozesout of the pores in our skin.Two types of glands produce sweat, the "eccrine" glandsand the "apocrine" glands. The "eccrine" glands are dispersed throughout the body but are concentrated in the armpits, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and the forehead. When the body isoverheated - from hotweather, physical exertion, or fever - the "eccrine" glands help regulate body temperature by expelling a solution of water and salts that cools the skin. The "apocrine"glands are concentrated in the armpits and around the groin. These glands develop during pubertyand have nothing to do with temperature regulation; instead, they respond to such conditions assexual arousal, nervousness, and anger, as well as to heatand exertion. The sweat they produceis rich in organicsubstances that attract bacteria and produce a strong odour. Other reasons could be the purely the 'faulty lifestyles' or 'emotional stresses' like in ovulation or menopause when the hormones trigger the "apocrine" glands to produce the characteristic smell.
Actually sweat is body's most convenient way of maintaining"homeostasis" or keeping cool. But when the temperature spurts above the normal there are about 2.5 million sweat glands, which act as tiny air-conditioners in maintaining the homeostatic balance. Surprisingly our sweat has noodour of its own. It usually smells bad only when the bacteria act on the sweat after reaching the skin surface. Normally most people tend to combat bad body odour with products like deodorants or body sprays as a solution. But it can only diminish the effects temporarily. In fact bad body odour (B.O) indicates that you're disturbed emotionally or physically.
Broadly, there are three completely different kinds of problem that are responsible for bad body odour
1. Hygiene problem; not cleaning up properly, not having proper bath or using clean clothes. Ask the pharmicist foradvice on soaps and cleansers and deodorants. But be warned; an excess of chemicals can make things worse, not better. Take advice and follow it.
2. Skin problem; if you have a bit of eczema or psoriasisor allergy problems, it is possible that a skin infection, probably fungal, is contributing to the problem. You needto know, and if that's the case, it is treatable, though not always easily.
3. There are some uncommon genetic conditions that are associated with odour. They are uncommon,and there are methods of dealing with the problem. Again, consult your doctor.
Following are the factors that are the main cause of body odour
* Obesity* Warm temp not only stimulate the sweat glands but also cause bacterium to break sweet down into a sticky coating that becomes a magnet for dirt thereby causing bad body odour.* Synthetic fabrics like polyester look good but trap sweat.This trapped sweat makes a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.* Bad eating pattern* Tight fitting clothes / shoes also increase the likelihoodof excess perspiration and body odour.

To FIGHT BODY ODOUR
* Take a shower using an antibacterial soap followed by a deodorant once in a day especially in the areas around the anus and the genitals.
* When bathing, use a good brush in circular movement. * Use cotton clothes especially cotton undergarments, which lets the skin breathe. Avoid synthetic clothes. * Wear loose cloths instead of figure-hugging ones and change your cloths daily. * Washing areas under the armpits is a must as 80% of the body's sweat is present there. * If you're buying products to handle perspiration knowing their difference is a must. For example, antiperspirants stop the sweat from leaving the skin by blocking the pores while deodorants destroy the bacteria when sweat leaves thebody. * To get rid of smelly feet, wash and dry between the feetadequately and wear well-ventilated footwear to let feet breath. * Double-check your Medicine. Synthetic hormones, oral contraceptives, steroids and some asthma medications stimulatesweat production. Respond by applying medically formulated antibacterial creams to your underarms. * Use a deodorant or anti-perspirant that contains aluminium chlorohydrate or zirconium. * Curb your coffee and tea intake. Caffeine can stimulate the autonomic nervous system, which regulates sweating. Limit yourself to two cups daily. * Avoid alcohol since it increases perspiration potential by dilating blood vessels. * If none of the above work and or the scent of yourperspiration becomes stronger or more intense. See your doctor.

HOME REMEDIES
* After your bath, add a tablespoon of honey to tepid water for the final rinse. This will help keep body odour in check. * Adding a teaspoon of alum to your bath water make you smell fresh all the day. * In summer, add a cup full of vinegar to your bath water or add a cupful of camphor oil to your bath water. * Baking soda used as a powder will absorb chemicals; thereforethis will remove body odours.Use a powder puff, which has been used for talc, to apply the powder. * Boil mint leaves and add the water to your bath water. Keep some aside for a special dousing for your armpits and between the thighs.
FOODS
* A balance diet is a must. Ideally it should be the one, which has about 20% protein i.e.,fish, poultry, or combinations of pulses and grains, 20% oils and fats and balance from vegetables, fruit, pulses and grains. * Include turnip or its juice in your diet. * Red radish juice can be included in the diet. You can also apply it under the arm after the morning shower. Also apply it on your feet and in between the toes. Radish juice helps keep body odour at bay. * Drinking plenty of water will also ensure that you smell fresh and sweet. * Eating a tablespoon of aniseed is other way of smelling fresh and sweet.
AVOID
People with body odour should avoid food that are rich in lecithin or choline or cantine/lysine such as soya products, corn, wheat and also chocolates, peanuts, nuts, raisins, cereals,eggs, or reduce the intake of these foods .
