2: Group discussion
MY topic was “WESTERN CULTURE IS NECESSARY OR NOT?”
I neither initiated nor summed up the session .But in the middle I make many valuable points. My +se points: I did not watch the SATYAM person, I have spoken thrice. When some of my team members were struggling during the discussing I have managed their inconvenience by agreed their points and started adding my points on it. Some topics can be spoken for or against; in such cases it is better to start with the description about the topic.
Don’t interrupt or argue with your team. We were 10 members before entering into GD we all decided not to quarrel with others and allow all of them to talk in 10min. I’m the lucky person because the person who judged our GD session is the one who interviewed me. He is MR.R.K. SWAMY working in SATYAM Chennai branch at present he got 6 years of experience. Since I have done my GD well it paved the way for my selection.
Some other topics for my friends are,
Marriages are made in heaven.
Is China better than India in software
Education in India ?
Are women a better managers?
Media
