  Wishing all the readers of Morning Raaga a very Happy and a Prosperous New Year 2025 Top new year resolutions A  New Year’s resolution  is a tradition in which a person makes a promise to do an act of self-improvement or something slightly nice. A new year starts with a new zeal, new energy all over, and extreme degrees of optimism. At the beginning we sow the seeds of a resolution that we think will spread light on our way and guide our path over the year. Origin of New Year Resolutions : Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts. The Romans began each year by making promises to the god Janus, after whom the month of January is named. In the Medieval Era, the Knights took the “peacock vow” at the end of the Christmas Season each year to re-affirm their commitment to Chivalry. The concept, regardless of creed, is to reflect upon Self-Improvement annually. Top new year...

Interview – is it really tough to answer?

 Interview – is it really tough to answer?

When you don’t know how to answer a question during an interview, the silence can seem agonizing. You might even wish the floor would open up and swallow you whole. Not to worry, though — keep these tips in mind the next time you’re insolvent for an answer.

1. Calm down

First of all, the most important thing to do is stay calm. If you start freaking out, your body will begin reacting physiologically. For example, your blood pressure will start rising, and your heart may race. Once you start a stress response, you won’t be thinking clearly, and you may throw out answers without thinking. Take deep breaths, and tell yourself that it’s OK to not know the answer to the question. You’ll just have to work through it; there’s nothing you can do to change things, but you need to stay calm to find the right answer.

2. Don’t say, “I don’t know,” off the bat

You should not tell the interviewer you don’t know the answer without mulling it over. Then again, be careful not to make stuff up, because your interviewer can see right through that.

3. Ask questions

May be it’s the question you don’t understand. Ask your interviewer to clarify what they said. Go deeper into the question to see if you can get more details that will help you figure it out.

4. Explain your interviewer what you do know

If you do have some knowledge of the question, then take the time to tell your interviewer what you do know of the situation. Saying everything out loud can start you on the process of figuring out the problem.

5. Tell them how you would find the answer

Even if you don’t know what the answer is, you can tell the interviewer the steps you would take to figure out the problem. Interviewers ask you hard questions because they want to see what your thought process is. Sometimes, the thought process may be more important than the actual answer. They want to see that you can take initiative and have the resources to come up with a solution on your own, instead of needing someone to hold your hand through problems. While you’re trying to find the solution, you can admit to not knowing certain parts; this way, you come off as being honest, and the hiring manager will know you are not trying to fake it. For example, if you need to calculate something and you’re not good at math, you can respond with “I can’t do the calculations off the top of my head, but I think these calculations will give me the answer. And what I can do is use a calculator to find that answer.” Showing a little honesty shows vulnerability and transparency. It also makes you more likable.

6. Admitting to the interviewer

Although we mentioned not admitting to the interviewer that you don’t know the answer, there is an exception to this rule. If the answer is something that you will only know through memorization, such as a definition of the word, then it’s probably best to admit that you don’t know the answer, as it may be impossible to figure it out independently. Here’s what you can tell the interviewer: “It’s a good question, but I’m sorry, I don’t have the answer off the top of my head. I will be sure to follow up with the answer after the interview.”

7. Follow-up email could become your second chance

The follow-up email for an interview could become your second chance. Try to talk about the answer you were stumped on, but be smooth when you’re talking about it. And make sure you’re only naming the mistakes your interviewer caught and not drawing attention to the ones she did not catch. Don’t say something like “I’m sorry I did not know the answer to that question.” Instead, tell her that after more time and thought, you managed to come up with a couple of solutions that could work for the problem.
Good luck

A UTI is an infection involving any part of the Urinary Tract such as the Urethra, Urinary Bladder and the Kidneys.
