Practical 1: Formal Introduction

Tips for Introduction

The best way to introduce your self is to give concrete but not rehearsed information. Instead of saying I

like playing football you can talk about your participation in a tournament. In the same manner instead of

saying that you are a caring person you can talk about your volunteer work. So interviews are just about

your achievements, participation and practices.

Start with a smile on your face & give details about Name, Place after greeting.

Don’t give your family details until it is asked.

Tell about your educational details.

Share about why you want to do JOB so.

About your Project in Brief.

Then about your interests /hobbies.

Tell about skills.

About your aims and objectives.

Conclude by saying THANKS to the Person who is listening to you

Example

Good morning ma’ m/sir

It's my pleasure to introduce myself.

My name is………..………and I am from ……………… Presently I am pursuing……………….………from………………… with an aggregate

of 78.33% from………………….. I did my X from ………. School with 77%, and I did my 12 from ……………college

with 77.7%.

My strengths are my attitude that I like to take challenges that I CAN do it, my way of

thinking that I take both success and failure in a balanced manner.

I don’t like to say weakness but I like to say scope for improvement that is I won’t leave any task in completely, I believe in myself and my hard work and I want

perfection in everything.

My short term goal is I want a platform where I can grow my career along with the

organization growth like yours and My Long term goal is I want to be one of the

reasons for the success of the organization.

As a fresher, I don't have any working experience, but I will prove once the opportunity

comes.

That’s all about me sir. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.

Practical 2: Group Discussion

Group Discussion is being extensively used along with personal interviews for the final selection of

candidates. Group Discussion helps in choosing the socially suitable candidate among the academically

superior achievers. It is one of the best tools to study the behavioral and attitudinal responses of the

participants.

Rightly speaking, Group Discussion is more a technique than a conventional test. In fact it is one of the

most important and popular techniques being used in a number of personality tests. It is a technique or a

method used for screening candidates as well as testing their potential. It is also designed as a situation test

wherein a sample of a candidate's group worthiness and potential as a worker comes out quite explicitly.

Evaluation criteria in a Group Discussion

The evaluation of participants happens in two broad perspective: Individual qualities and group skills.

A) Content: What you say during the discussion is looked into from two perspectives – relevance

and comprehensiveness. It is possible that a participant has talked a great deal in a GD, but he or

she may have deviated from the topic significantly, in which case the content is deemed largely

irrelevant without the possibility of further evaluation. If the content has been relevant to the topic,

the panel examines whether your treatment of the topic is superficial or in-depth, distinction we

shall discuss in detail in the next few posts.

B) Analytical skills: The panel is of course interested in your facts, but they also like to see

whether or not you can explore the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of the subject matter. This is put to the

sternest test in a case-study topic.

C) Reasoning skills: The panel looks at how you support your standpoints, and how you respond

to those of the others, how effectively you can ‘strengthen or weaken’ an argument, how logical

you are in your overall approach to the topic.

D) Organization skills: You may have the facts, the supports, the explanations, but are you able

to present them in the right order so as to maximize the impact of your good content.

E) Communication skills: You may have exhibited all the skills stated above, but can you get

your point across to someone in a simple (not simplistic) language they understand, with relevant

illustrations they can identify with?

F) Creativity: Are you able to bring to the table a novel perspective on the topic? Can you look at

a problem differently from ten other participants and suggest a path-breaking solution? Can you

interpret an abstract topic in ways the others cannot? If yes, the panel looks at you as someone

with one of the rarest of human qualities.

G) Listening skill: The panel constantly observes whether or not every participant is listening to

the discussion. In my experience, most participants are concerned only with speaking, and feel that

they are done with the job as soon as they have spoken, which is contrary to the spirit of a

discussion. There are many ways a panel may infer that a participant is a poor listener, such as a

lack of eye contact with the group, or a poor summary at the end. It is one of the rarest skills, and a

must for a would-be manager.

H) Leadership quality: In highly-charged discussions, one or two participants usually play the

role of the anchor, in that they define the topic appropriately, offer the initial analysis of the

keywords of the topic, and also try to hold the group together in pursuit of a common goal. Such

individuals could demonstrate effective leadership, and score some extra points. However, one

cannot score anything extra simply because one spoke first in the group, or was the loudest.

I) Body language: While assessing the body language, the panel primarily looks at eye contact

and hand movements. The speaker must maintain a consistent eye contact with the entire group as

he or she speaks, and the listeners must reciprocate.

J) Group behavior: This is usually assessed in a broad distinction – assertive or aggressive.

Assertiveness is a rational display of conviction of one’s thoughts, while aggressiveness is a

display of domination through subtle intimidation. Assertiveness allows room for flexibility –

which is a desired trait – while aggressiveness leads to irrational rigidity of viewpoint.

Do’s in a GD:

Listen to the subject carefully

Put down your thoughts on paper

Listen to others if you don’t know the subject

Support your points with some facts and logics

Give others chance to speak

Speak politely and pleasantly and contribute as your part

Summarize the discussion if the group has not reached a conclusion

Don’t do

Initiate the discussion if you do not have sufficient knowledge about the topic

Argue and shout during GD

Look at the evaluators or a particular group member

Try to dominate the discussion

Practical 3: Kinesics:

Kinesics is the interpretation of body motion communication such as facial

expressions and gestures, nonverbal behavior related to movement of any part of the body or the

body as a whole. Paralinguistic are the aspects of spoken communication that do not involve

words. Body language, gestures, facial expressions, tone and pitch of voice are all examples

of paralinguistic features.

Power Pose:

Stand straight with your shoulders back and feet shoulder width apart.

Imagine your shoulders opening up from one another so that they rest centrally.

Place your hands either side of your body so that you can easily make hand gestures when you need to.

Face the audience as much as possible. If you’re in a large room, tilt your whole body towards different

parts of the audience so everyone feels included

Eye contact: Confident body language can also be used as a feedback loop. Making eye contact is the easiest to way

to receive feedback from the audience about your speech. You can see if your audience are listening and

read their facial expressions to see if they are interested, bored, angry, happy, and so on. You can then

alter your speech accordingly based on the feedback you see. Without making eye contact, you could go

through your whole speech irritating the audience!

Movement

Moving around the stage is a great way of showing your audience you are confident in what you’re

saying and including everyone in the conversation. Commanding the space around you shows strong

leadership and, after all, when you’re presenting you are the leader.

Facial Expressions

People depend on facial expressions to interpret motives and emotions so an audience will respond better

to you if you are expressive. This is a bit like acting - you want to emphasize your expressions so that

everyone in the audience can interpret meaning from them.

Practical 4: Proximics

Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behavior,

communication, and social interaction.

Interpersonal distance

Hall described the interpersonal distances of man (the relative distances between people) in four distinct

zones: (1) intimate space, (2) personal space, (3) social space, and (4) public space.

Intimate distance for embracing, touching or whispering

Close phase – less than under one inch (one to two cm)

Far phase – 6 to 18 inches (15 to 46 cm)

Personal distance for interactions among good friends or family

Close phase – 1.5 to 2.5 feet (46 to 76 cm)

Far phase – 2.5 to 4 feet (76 to 122 cm)

Social distance for interactions among acquaintances

Close phase – 4 to 7 feet (1.2 to 2.1 m)

Far phase – 7 to 12 feet (2.1 to 3.7 m)

Public distance used for public speaking

Close phase – 12 to 25 feet (3.7 to 7.6 m)

Far phase – 25 feet (7.6 m) or more.

Practical 5: Chronemics

Chronemics is the study of the role of time in communication. It is one of several subcategories to emerge

out of the study of nonverbal communication.

Chronemics can be defined as "the interrelated observations and theories of man's use of time" the way in

which one perceives and values time, structures time, and reacts to time frames communication. Time

perception plays a large role in the nonverbal communication process. Time perceptions

include punctuality, willingness to wait, and interactions. The use of time can affect lifestyle, daily

agendas, speed of speech, movements, and how long people are willing to listen.

Time can be used as an indicator of status. For example, in most companies the boss can interrupt progress

to hold an impromptu meeting in the middle of the work day, yet the average worker would have to make

an appointment to see the boss. The way in which different cultures perceive time can influence

communication as well.

Cultures are sometimes considered monochronic or polychronic.

Monochronic

A monochronic time system means that things are done one at a time and time is segmented into precise,

small units. Under this system, time is scheduled, arranged and managed.

Polychronic

A polychronic time system is a system where several things can be done at once, and wider view of time is

exhibited and time is perceived in large fluid sections.[3]

Examples of polychronic behaviors include: typing

while answering telephones or taking notes while sitting participating in meetings. Polychronicity is in

contrast to those who prefer monochronicity (doing one thing at a time).

Practical 6: Stress, Pitch, Intonation

Paralinguistic Features of Voice Dynamics:

Paralinguistics are the aspects of spoken communication that do not involve words. These may add

emphasis or shades of meaning to what people say.

Stress

Stressed words are those you can hear most easily when you listen. We stress words so our listener may

know they are important. They sound clearer, longer and louder. Speakers usually stress nouns, verbs,

adjectives, adverbs and questions words such as what, who and why. They sometimes stress other kind of

words if a word has important information.

Unstressed words are sometimes very difficult to hear and to understand.

I bought a pizza and then I went home.

One of my hobbies is pop mobility. It’s a sort of exercise to music the word means pop music and

physical mu…mobility. I like it because it’s a good exercise good music and its quick. I can do a class in

about one hour.

Pitch

Pitch refers to number of vibrations per second of your voice. The rise and fall of the voice conveys

various emotions. Lowness of pitch can indicate sadness, shock, dullness, guilt etc. If you are excited,

joyous, ecstatic, triumphant and even angry, your pitch will automatically high. A well balanced pitch

results in a clear and effective tone.

Example: “Thank You” is such a phrase can be uttered in various ways.

Rhythm:

Rhythm generally refers to the timing pattern. There are two factors that influence the rhythm of English

sentence stress and connected speech.

The Rhythm produced by stressed or unstressed words in a sentence is a major characteristic of spoken

English.

Intonation:

Intonation is about how we say things, rather than what we say, the way the voice rises and falls when

speaking, in other words the music of the language.

Just as words have stressed syllables, sentences have regular patterns of stressed words. In addition, the

voice tends to rise, fall or remain flat depending on the meaning or feeling we want to convey (surprise,

anger, interest, boredom, gratitude, etc.). Intonation therefore indicates the mood of the speaker.

Practical 7 Effective Communication Skills

Effective Communication means creating interests and intense desire in the people to listen you.

There is no universal rule for effective communication, but the test for effectiveness is result. The message

should be tailored in a manner that ensures results in a given circumstances. The effectiveness of any

communication is dependent on situation as One Man’s medicine could be another poison.

The Effectiveness of Communication is not to convey a bare fact, but to win the desired outcome.

A teacher can command the students by saying “ Stop Talking” but if the same response a person who is

giving presentation and wants that no one should talk in between but he cannot say like that.

For effective communication the mind has to be free from fear and apprehension about what others will

think. If you communicate to please others, you cannot satisfy yourself.

Prejudice, Perception and Preconditioned mind are the barriers to communication and make the

communication more complex.

We need free, fair and open mind for good communication.
