Breaking the Taboo: Let's discuss sexual orientation & gender identity!

Hello everyone! My name is Mahesh Kenjale, and I am a student at IIM Trichy. I would like to head start by addressing an issue that is considered taboo. Let's talk about homosexuality and how it is perceived in society and the corporate world. I remember during a GD (Group Discussion) round at one of the top b-schools, we were asked to discuss the gender diversity at the workplace. It was a fabulous discussion. People introduced the topic by stating the importance of the inclusivity of the third gender in the corporate sector. It was a factual and logical discussion which ended with a consensus, but as soon as we left the GD room, things turned out to be the opposite. I observed group members giggling, laughing, and bragging about being able to lie perfectly during the GD. This is exactly what I want to address through this post. During formal interactions, we all consciously support the idea of the inclusivity of people with a different sexual orientation or gender identity, but a

Interview FAQs: What are your interests, hobbies, and passions?

Image
Most of the aspirants are muddled in categorizing their activities as hobbies, interests, or passions. Most of the time, they have the same answer for all these three different brackets. In this post, I'll clear some air, so that everyone could accurately position their activities in the correct bracket. I'll also shed some light on the other aspects of this question. Hence, make sure to read the entire post. Why do panelists want to know your interests, hobbies, and passions? Look! Every institute or employment wants diversity in terms of gender, academics, culture, and also talent. The more variety and heterogeneity an organization or institute has, the better it is for them to keep attracting more talented people. It makes sure that the institute doesn't diminish its value in terms of talent. They also want to know if you are an interesting, creative, or enthusiastic person.

Interview FAQs: What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Image
Hey guys! What’s up? In this post, I'll explain why interviewees get this question thrown at them frequently, and how to answer it in an accurate and impeccable manner. Why do interviewers ask this question? Why do they want YOU to know your strengths and weaknesses? Interviewers want to know how well you know yourself, how well you understand yourself, and your level of cognizance regarding your own self. They want to check whether or not you are the kind of person who is self-aware. Look! If a person is oblivious, how can one expect them to be cognizant about their environment at college or work. Lack of self-awareness might indicate both; personal negligence and a degree of recklessness in your decision-making process. Recruiters do not normally accept such people. Hence, the applicants who give this question some prior thought would usually have a better chance with the recruiter. How to find a perfect answer to this question? First things first!

Hey all! What's up? In this post, I'm gonna write about the preparation tips and strategies to score magnificent marks in the  English and Maths section  of the TISSNET paper. First of all, lemme slack off some pressure by affirming that the TISSNET's Maths and English section is the easiest when we juxtapose it with other MBA entrances. The level of difficulty of these two sections can range from easy to moderate. You can refer NCERT books for English and Maths from class 6th to class 10th. Start your preparation as early as possible, 2-3 hours each day, and you will sail through. Let's continue with dissecting these two sections, and make sure to read the entire article out-and-out. For the English section, I swear, My right hand to the GOD, the best way to prepare is to read. Read a lot, and read regularly and religiously.
