Importance of a Group Discussion (GD)

Group discussion is one thing which I really feel is quiet important as far as your selection chances in any college or any company is concerned. We call it short GD which is quiet popular among the youth throughout the world. You will hardly find any selection process which is not preceded by the Group discussion. So the question really arises that what is the GD all about. In few words I must say that the GD is an open discussion in which the youth participating in the competition takes part. All of them are free to put forward their ideas on the selected topics. Those whose ideas are found to be the best are declared the winners.

All the studies really reveal that the GD is really very important. If you will not prepare well for the GD then I must tell you that you will definitely find it quiet tough to pass out the competition. In fact you will never be selected.

I must say that you will have to follow following points if you want to be successful in the group discussion. The points are as follows:

1.The first thing which you will have to keep in mind while preparing for the GD is that you will have to make sure that you read as many news as possible. Generally the topic is chosen from some of the current topics. Hence you should make sure that you have a look at all of them.

2.The second point which I really find important is that you will have to make sure that you speak loudly and clearly. This is really one of the most important things and I do feel that you will find yourself in difficulty while taking part in the GD if you do not speak loudly and clearly.

3.The next point which is quiet important and you should know is that you are not really bounded to think in one way. I must say that you are free to think on your own and put forward some new ideas. It is good for your chances and also for the GD since new ideas will definitely make it interesting.

4.Yes it is quiet important to note that you should know what the topic is really about. If you have some confusion then you should wait for some time and let the other speak at first. When the matter is quiet clear and the GD is in midst then you should start speaking with new ideas in mind. I do hope that you are able to generate new ideas quickly because this is really very important.

These are some of the points which I must say are quiet important and makes the GD quiet an important one.

Multiple Careers

Those who were born well before the year 1946 seldom have worked with more than one employer in their entire life time. It is really the truth that people in the olden days used to work in a single career and under the single employer. However, now the time has changed. The professionals who have been involved in the jobs now tend to change their jobs at will and whenever they like.

I feel that they have become more flexible and hence they find no difficulty in changing the career. You might find a fellow engaged in the field of software development today. However you should not be surprised to see him working for the insurance company tomorrow. This can be a dilemma but for the generation next, it is a fun which they are very found of playing.

Multiple careers are now a fashion. And the recession has really made it more common. In today's world which is really suffering from the recession, I do feel that only the fittest can survive. This is because you really do not know that which kind of job you will be offered. You are now really not sure of this but I must tell you one more thing and that there is a scarcity of jobs in the market at present.

Hence you can not really assume that if you are leaving a job then you will soon get the other. This is really impossible at present. Hence it is really advised that you should really do the job which are getting.

You cannot really leave the job as far as the present market is concerned. I really feel that you will definitely be in better position if you are choosing the right career but also make sure that you are versatile. It is really good at present to be ready to do any kind of jobs. I certainly believe that if you will act like this then you will certainly be in better position. The job search still looks easy for some fellows. But can you tell why it is so. I must tell you that it is so because they are ready to do any kind of jobs. They really do not hesitate in doing the field work even if they are the fellows of the software engineering department.

This is what multiple careers is all about. I must really say that the world of employment is really changing now. I must tell you that now you will seldom see some people working for the same company more than 2 to 3 years. They hardly now work for one year and then change the company if they are getting the better opportunity.
