Do you know who a fire investigator is? Yes, he is a person who investigates about the fire accidents. If any place is caught by the fire then the first question which comes to our mind is that how the place caught fire? Then you would like to note that what was lost due to the fire. In fact, once the fire fighter is able to distinguish the fire, a series of question starts being asked from all the witnesses.

But the person who is responsible for the investigation process is the fire investigator. The question now arises that how can we become the fire investigator. The answer is quiet simple. You will have to go through some of the courses and after passing those courses you will be able to win the license.

There are many courses which you can pursue if you want to become the fire investigator. There is even one course called fire engineering which will make you an engineer in the field of fire engineering.
I would now like to list some of the colleges where you can pursue the courses related to fire technology.

The first college which comes to my mind is the IFSI fire college. I have met many candidates who have taken the degree from this college and I must tell you that all of them were quiet happy. The trainers out here are quiet good and you will definitely love having a lesson from them. The degree provided by this college is accepted by the whole world. You can go to any part of the world and you will get the required recognition.

The IAAI College which is one of the very good colleges has always seats available for the online courses in the field of fire investigation. However there are some of the colleges which ask for the graduation degree before you can pursue the courses in the fire investigation field. If you have the Bachelor of Science degree then are quiet eligible for such courses.

This was about some of the colleges providing this degree. Now I would like to discuss some of the qualities which you should have if you want to become the fire investigator. They are as follows:

You will have to be innovative
It is quiet true that you will be taught all the tricks during the time you will pursue the courses. But I must tell you that you will be required to apply those tricks in the real life. And for this you are required to be innovative. You will have to put forward new ideas as well.

Be analytic
The second quality which you should have is the analyzing power. You will find many evidences on the accident sights but you will need to find out the exact causes with their help.

I hope that you will go for these wonderful courses and hope you will soon become fire investigator.

Either you talk about the police department or you talk about the lawyers. They all are quiet important as all of them plays the important role in law enforcement.

Becoming a lawyer is not an easy task. You will have to go through the five years degree course in order to win the certification of the lawyer. There are many kinds of lawyers. For example criminal lawyer is one kind of lawyer. Similarly there are lawyers related to taxes as well. In fact there are lawyers related to each field.

Interview Mistakes that You Should Avoid

As you know that interview is the first interaction between you and the recruiter. You must know that the direct interaction is always more important than the virtual interaction. That is why you should make sure that you give your interview in best possible way. I would now like to list some of the mistakes which you make in the interview.

They are as follows:

1. You should not underestimate the recruitment consultant

Many think that meeting the recruitment consultant is not a part of interview. They are terribly wrong. It’s really a very important part of the interview and only those names among all candidates are sent to the employers who are shortlisted by the recruitment consultants.

2. Presentation is very important
Almost all the recruiters feel that you should attend the interview as if you are already employed. I don’t mean that you should be over confident. What I really meant is that you should be properly dressed. Most of the recruiters feel that slippers and t-shirts should be avoided. I have heard that Glitter on the cheeks and chest is not appropriate.

3. You should Target your skills
You should not say that “I can do anything”. All the recruiters admires the can do attitude but you are required to target your skills first. Recruiters really want the applicants to revise their skills and preferred working environment which helps them in providing the applicants the best opportunities.

4. Prepare a good Resumes
Many applicants are found to not give proper emphasis on their resumes. Make sue that the matter is well presented and are correct. For example you should mention the correct contact details.

5. Always be honest with your answers
Never lie or exaggerate your skills or qualifications. You will be only the sufferer if you do so.

6. Be fully prepared
You should do proper research before you appear for the interview. You should know in advance about the job for which you are applying. You should be able to explain your suitability for the post.

7. Reach on time
Many job seekers don’t give importance to the time and are often late to reach the interview venue. They might also not able to give appropriate time to mentally prepare for the interview. This is a very bad habit and gives only one aspect about you that you are unreliable. Hence avoid this habit.

8. Telephone manners
Recruiters at first interview you on the telephone. It is an experience that many jobseekers are not able to express themselves on the phone. This is really your drawback if you are not able to express yourself. Be mentally prepared for telephonic interview.

These are some of the mistakes made by the job seekers and I do feel that you should really avoid them.

How to Pick Your Battles at Work

Thursday, March 26, 2009 1:47
Posted in category Career

Some one has rightly said that you should not fight a battle in which you gain virtually nothing. And for sure if you are a professional then you must be following this rule ever since you would have started your career. I do feel that if you are not following this rule then you are really loosing something.

Can you think why Ronaldo is such good football player? Yes, you can really say that he scores goals in almost every match. Also you must have seen many football players who play for small club and are equally talented. But are they successful. Really, they are neither successful nor happy. What I really want to say is the fact that you should really make sure that the battle which you are going to fight rewards you in right way.

If this will be not the case then you will definitely not give your hundred percent in the battle. However it is you who is really responsible for selecting the battle. Let us take the example of the competitions. Suppose you are extra brilliant. Then would you prefer the state exam or the national exam. Certainly you will prefer the national exam. What I really mean to say is the fact that if you will be able to clear the national level exam then you will easily clear the state level exam. But it really would not be justice if you are satisfied by passing the state exam only.

I really feel that now you would have got the ideas about what I am trying to say.  It is really advisable that you should go fro the best and meanwhile you should also make sure that you are comfortable with it or not. If you will not be confident enough then you should really try for the lower standards.

I really feel that there should be no doubt in your mind while committing for the toughest exam which you can handle. Because if you will not do this then you will really feel quiet sad in the coming future and you will curse your faith.

Hence I really feel that you should really do justice to your talent. Hence you should choose the battle keeping this entire thing in mind. It is quiet sure that the player who is of international level will really find it quiet easy when he will play for the national level. But can you really think that he is doing justice by not trying for the international level sports and is happy enough to play at the national level. I really feel that this is really not the right justice to your talent. Hence I would advise that you should choose the toughest battle which you can handle.

Online Networking Tips

In addition to the in-person networking, internet is one of the most important medium for networking. I really feel that you will definitely find the online networking to be one of the most important things and this will eventually allow you to make thousands of professional friends who will really prove out to be quiet friendly for you.

You will definitely end up with the strong professional bonds if you do it right. I would really like to state that this is often called the social media networking. You can do it with the help of various websites like www.myspace.com, www.facebook.com, www.twittor.com, www.linkedin.com and so on. All you have to do is to contact to maximum number of professionals and add them in the friend list.

I would now like to give some tips regarding the networking. The tips are as follows:

1. Participate regularly

I must say that it is really not possible to make online professionals your friend if you are not a regular customer. You will have to participate regularly in chatting if you want to flourish in the field of networking. You will have to be in contact of those personals endlessly. Only when you will be able to impress them, they will become your friends. And this is only possible if you are able to help them out on some account. This really requires you to be online endlessly.

2. Be open to young as well as old
I really feel that you should talk to both the young as well as the old peoples. It has been found that the young peoples are really much more comfortable with the computers and technology as compared to the old people. It might be that you find it quiet good to talk to the old peoples but I really feel that you should be friendly to all of them either they are old or they are young. In fact the age really means no boundary as far as the knowledge is concerned.

3. Try blogging
If you have flair to write then your habit of writing can really turn out to be great for yourself. I really feel that blogging is really one of the very good weapons which you can use any time. You can write articles on different topics and then send the links to your friends. Once you will compel them to read your article then they will definitely come up with great ideas about you. However you will have to make sure that you write well. Only then you will be able to impress them and make friendship.

I really feel that online networking can really earn you a lot if you are serious.

Joint Venture Marketing

Wednesday, February 25, 2009 8:04

Joint venture marketing is very common these days. But you cannot say that it’s a new concept. You can never say that. I would like to take you to olden days. Do you remember barter system? Yes off-coarse you should remember it. You must have read this type of business in detail during your school days. However I would like to say few works related to barter system. Suppose you have turmeric in plenty and your colleague has pepper in plenty. Then you might exchange pepper and give some turmeric as a cost price.  Joint venture Marketing has is similar but there are some changes. Have you heard about Accenture? You must have heard.

Accenture does not have its faculty. Yes they have a bunch of software engineers but they do not run their faculty. So how will they provide training to their fresher? And also suppose they want them to do MBA. How will they make it possible? I must tell you that they have contracts with many institutions where they can send their fresher for formal training or some courses. This is joint Venture Marketing.

The two keywords related to joint venture marketing is relation and relationship. These two are the most important terms. I must tell you that I have gone through number of joint venture marketing and it my personal experience that most important thing is relationship. I would love to know that is it possible for the company like Google to work independently. No man no, this is really next to impossible. You will really understand if you use your common sense. I would also like to know that you know about link exchange or not. You will not be surprised to know that this is also an example of joint venture marketing.

This type of marketing is due to dependency. A company which is a producer has to be dependent on those companies who are engaged in marketing of that product. You will hardly find companies who do all their activities on their own. I must tell you that this is a very hard job. Reed and Taylor produce great fabric work but do they manage its marketing as well. Yes they are sold in malls. But you must also know that this is done with the help of collaboration and not by a Reed and Taylor itself.

I would like to give you one more example. Java is the product of Sun Java Company. But oracle uses it and so do people soft. How is it possible? It’s due to a mutual contract which all the company signs to use each other product. They also make sure that they will market each other products. This is joint venture marketing and I hope you better understand now.
