Frequently asked interview questions for jobs and admission in any institution

Interview questions may vary but in essence they are all trying to establish the following:

1. Your skills and experience to do the job/field
2. Your enthusiasm and interest for the job/field
3. Whether you will fit in

If you can answer these questions, using real-life examples to illustrate your points, then you should be able to answer most of the questions that arise including the following frequently asked questions.

Tell me about yourself?
This question or something similar usually starts every interview.  Your answer should be well-rehearsed, confidently delivered and last between 3-5 minutes.  It should also:
Focus on the areas of most relevance to the job/field in question
Include some impressive achievements e.g. improvements made
Convey your enthusiasm for the job/field
Avoid personal or irrelevant information e.g. your children, un-related jobs/fields

What are your key skills/strengths?
Focus on what you know they are looking for, even if it has been a smaller part of what you have been doing to date.  The job advert or person specification form will give you the information you need about their requirements.

What are your weaknesses?
Choose a weakness that: Doesn't matter for the job/field e.g. languages for a UK firm.  Is a positive e.g. "I like to make things happen and get frustrated if too long is spent sitting around discussing it without action"
Used to be a weakness but which you have improved upon e.g. presentations

Why did you leave your last job/academy/city?
Your answer should be positive and upbeat even if the circumstances were difficult.  If you were made redundant, depersonalise it by talking about company restructuring rather than your individual circumstance.  Never criticise a previous employer no matter how tempting.

Why do you want this job/field?
Your answer should reinforce why you are such a good fit for the job and then convey your enthusiasm for the role e.g.

Good match between your skills and their requirements
Interested in the product/market/sector
Company's excellent reputation, exciting challenge etc.
Do not say (even if it's true) that you just need a job/programm, or you want it because it's local.
Tell me about a difficult scenario at work and how you dealt with it
They are testing how you cope under pressure as well as your problem-solving and communication skills.  Good examples are where you:

Helped resolve or improve a difficult situation
Were resilient in adverse conditions
Showed emotional intelligence and cool-headedness
Avoid any examples which still feel sensitive, because in a high-pressure interview situation, old emotions can easily resurface and throw you off balance.
Tell me about an achievement of which you are proud?
Choose work-related examples that shows a tangible benefit to the business.   Personal achievements should only be included if they are very impressive or prestigous. More experienced candidates looking for a specific roles .

What are your career goals?
They are checking if you are likely to stay and if so, for how long.  Reassure the employer that the role you are applying for fits your career plan and your longer term commitment to the company.

What are your salary/fee expectations?
Salary/fee negotiations are best handled at the job/field offer stage so try to avoid this at interview if you can.  If forced to name a price, give a realistic but wide salary/fee range and say that you feel that salary/fee won't be an issue if you decide to work together.

What do you know about our organisation/institution?
You need to know the following:

Company structure, finances, products and services, key staff
Customers and competitors
Market trends and challenges.

Generally they also asked some course related questions
 eg
 What is the height of K2?
Pak-China border length is ?
Also like Phy ,Bio and chemistry courses related questions .

Physics Optics

A combination of two thin lenses in contact behave as converging lens of focal length 80 cm if one of the lense is convrging lens of focal length 20 cm,  the power of other lens will be

Explanation.
f= focul length of combination of two lenses
f1= focul length of ist lens
f2= focul length of 2nd lens
As 1/f =1/f1  + 1/f2
1/80 = 1/20 + 1/f2
1/f2 = 1/80 - 1/20
f2 = -26.66cm
 = -0.266 m

As Power of lens P= 1/f (where f will be in meters)

So
P=1/-0.266
= -3.75D

Some MCQs of Physics and Chemistry.

Q1)when the aircraft concorde is moving in horizontal plane at const speed 650 m/s its turning circle has radius of 80 km wat is ratio of centripetal force to the weight of air craft?
Ans.

Q2)when 0.24 gm of magnesium is reacted with excess HCl what volume of gas librated at RTP
Ans.

Q3)In mixture of NO and CO2 initialy containing 4 mol of NO and 0.9 mol of CO2 reaction ocur acording to NO+CO2>NO2+CO at eq 0.1 mol of CO2 was presnt what is Kc
Ans.

Q4)a box of mas m =6 kg slid with speed v=4 m/s acros frictionless flor it sudenly explodes into 2 pieces one piece with mass m1 =2kg moves in same direction with speed v1=8 m/s find velocity of 2nd piece
Ans. as momentum before collision= momentum after collision
for m2 ,m=m1+m2 6=2+m2 m2=4kg so 6(4)=2(8)+4(x) 8=4x x=2m/s

Q5)Q2) on groud the gravitational force on satelite is W wat is gravitational force on satelite when at height R/50 where R is radius of earth
Ans. On the ground, the distance (from the centre of the Earth) is R. In orbit, the distance is R+R/50 or (51/50)R. The force is (ETA: inversely) proportional to the square of the distance so the multiplier you want is (50/51)^2 ~=0.96W

Q6)equal weights of methane and hydrogen are mixed in an an empty container at 25 degre centegrad the fraction of total presure exerted by hydrogen is.
Ans. apply mole fraction formula by daltons law of partial pressure
as moles fraction=no of moles of components/no of total moles let no of moles H2= n/2 let no of moles of CH4=n/16 total moles = n/2 + n/16 =9n/16 so mole fraction of pressure exerted byH2= n/2 ÷ 9n/16 = n/2 × 16/9n =8/9 ans

Psychiatry or Psychology

Psychology:-

                         The scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behaviour in a given context.

synonyms:-study of the mind, science of the mind, science of the personality, study of the mental processes

                    "she has a degree in psychology"

Psychiatry:-

              The study and treatment of mental illness, emotional disturbance, and abnormal behavior.

What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

        The short answer is, psychiatrists are medical doctors and psychologists are not. The suffix "-iatry" means "medical treatment," and "-logy" means "science" or "theory." So psychiatry is the medical treatment of the psyche, and psychology is the science of the psyche.

Their Credentials

Psychiatrists begin their careers in medical school. After earning their MD, they go on to four years of residency training in mental health, typically at a hospital's psychiatric department. After completing their residency, these physicians can be licensed to practice psychiatry. In order to become a Psychiatrist one must first study complete MBBS and then take a specialization in that stream.

Psychologists go through five to seven years of academic graduate study, culminating in a doctorate degree. They may hold a PhD or a PsyD. Those who are mainly interested in clinical psychology -- treating patients as opposed to focusing on research -- may pursue a PsyD.Licensing requirements for psychologists vary from state to state, but at least a one- or two-year internship is required to apply for a license to practice psychology.

Prescribing Powers

As medical doctors, psychiatrists can do what most psychologists cannot: They can even prescribe drugs.But a psychologist has no power to prescribe drugs.

Key differentiators between Psychology and Psychiatry:-

There are many differences between Psychology and Psychiatry. One of the first dissimilarity would be the varied nomenclature. Psychiatrists and Psychologists over and over again treat the same issues, in different ways. Psychotherapy techniques facilitate both fields to work on the research side and the practicing side. Psychiatrists are basically doctors with certification of MD or DO. On the other hand a Psychologist is less medically oriented and more scientifically rooted. Even though Psychology and Psychiatry can handle similar patients and caseloads, there is difference in their philosophy. One main difference is that a Psychologist does not have the power to prescribe medication to their patients, as long as there is no consultation with and approved licensed Psychiatrist. A Psychiatrist usually treats illnesses through medicines and less on psychotherapy, and a Psychologists way opposite, since most cannot prescribe medication.

Future :-

Both a psychologist and a psychiatrist are Doctors, however, someone practice psychology has earned a doctorate degree that is either a PhD or a PsyD, whereas someone practicing psychiatry is a medical doctor. Both career choices require several years of commitment to studies and both are rewarding careers that offer a variety of subfields in which you can practice. The career outlook for both positions have been and will continue to be good career options. The salaries vary depending on the field of psychiatry and/or psychology you choose to specialize in, however, a psychiatrist typically earns a larger yearly income than a psychologist due to the medical degree.

Scope :-

Psychology :- Psychology future in Pakistan is very good and there are many options available for psychologists in Pakistan. Students with Masters in Psychology are usually employed, depending upon their specialization, by multinationals, health and education sectors. In multinationals they are employed in research, human resources and training. In health sector they are employed as clinical psychologist, psychometrician, addiction and family counsellor and education sector  employed them as school psychologist, guidance counsellor and teacher. Beside that many students opt for teaching profession (psychology) in public and private institutions.

 
Psychiatrist :-As psychiatrist has also better scope in Pakistan as well as better salary .

          

Remember your decision for getting into psychology field should not be based only on job prospects, rather it should be based on your interest and passion. Technological advancement rapidly changing the nature and scope of occupations. Therefore don't expect that you'll end up only in the above mentioned sectors/options. There will be many more occupational options available to you by the time you'll finish your school.

Moral:-                     I think you guys get it .If you don’t understand it then I think so you need a Psychiatrist/ Psychologist.

Why do we need to Hug?

Hugging therapy is definitely a powerful way of healing. Research shows that hugging (and also laughter) is extremely effective at healing sickness, disease, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress.

Research shows a proper deep hug, where the hearts are pressing together, can benefit you in these ways:

1. The nurturing touch of a hug builds trust and a sense of safety. This helps with open and honest communication.

2. Hugs can instantly boost oxytocin levels, which heal feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anger.

3. Holding a hug for an extended time lifts one's serotonin levels, elevating mood and creating happiness

4. Hugs strengthen the immune system. The gentle pressure on the sternum and the emotional charge this creates activates the Solar Plexus Chakra. This stimulates the thymus gland, which regulates and balances the body's production of white blood cells, which keep you healthy and disease free.

5. Hugging boosts self-esteem. From the time we're born our family's touch shows us that we're loved and special. The associations of self-worth and tactile sensations from our early years are still imbedded in our nervous system as adults. The cuddles we received from our Mom and Dad while growing up remain imprinted at a cellular level, and hugs remind us at a somatic level of that. Hugs, therefore, connect us to our ability to self love.

6. Hugging relaxes muscles. Hugs release tension in the body. Hugs can take away pain; they soothe aches by increasing circulation into the soft tissues.

7. Hugs balance out the nervous system. The galvanic skin response of someone receiving and giving a hug shows a change in skin conductance. The effect in moisture and electricity in the skin suggests a more balanced state in the nervous system - parasympathetic.

8. Hugs teach us how to give and receive. There is equal value in receiving and being receptive to warmth, as to giving and sharing. Hugs educate us how love flows both ways.

9. Hugs are so much like meditation and laughter. They teach us to let go and be present in the moment. They encourage us to flow with the energy of life. Hugs get you out of your circular thinking patterns and connect you with your heart and your feelings and your breath.

10. The energy exchange between the people hugging is an investment in the relationship. It encourages empathy and understanding. And, it's synergistic, which means the whole is more than the sum of its parts: 1 1 = 3 or more! This synergy is more likely to result in win-win outcomes.

Why our brain more work at night than at daytime?

Studies haven't been able to explain the mechanisms behind this amazing result that the brain is more active at night than at during day time.

 Some reasons are these:-

• Our believe is that during day time we have to do many works, so we can’t concentrate one thing.

 • During day time the sunlight stimulates and divert our mind to do many things.

 • The watch we see also stimulate our minds. Like sometime if you wake up at 8am and see a watch that has a wrong time like 3 am then you sleep again.

•        The sound at day time also divert our mind to many thing memories to do.

•        At night the dark outside fear also stimulates our mind to not memorize outside works.

•        If we are working in a cellar , so our brain work just like at night time.

•        In all above reason hardworking students study at night time ,they get the topic in few minutes and they easily do that in exams.
