When Nervousness Makes Your Voice Quiver

Has this ever happened to you? You stand to give your speech or presentation; and, when you begin speaking what comes out of your mouth is higher in pitch and quivering to boot. So what is to be done?

In most cases, nervousness is the cause of the quiver. (There are some voices, however, that quiver whether one is nervous or not.) There is a means of eliminating the quiver that works even when you are nervous.

Personally, I like nervousness. It is that wonderful rush of adrenaline that, if used to your advantage, can give you an edge in public speaking. What I don't want, however, is for your nervousness to be seen or heard. The quiver is definitely telling your audience that you would rather be somewhere else.

A quivering voice is the result of stress and pressure on your delicate vocal folds (cords) and throat. Nervousness exacerbates the problem. By learning how to breathe with the support of your diaphragm and allowing your chest to become your primary amplifier, you will find the quiver disappearing automatically. It is truly amazing to see and hear this happen.

When I was teaching at the college level, one of my students was a 40-year-old woman. Her nervousness was so great when she gave her 1st speech, that I was surprised she didn't stop and leave the room. By the end of the semester, however, the change in the woman was stunning. During this public speaking course, I taught all of my students how to find their ‘real' voice, the one that is richer, deeper, warmer and mature in sound. That was the reason her voice stopped quivering. She was still nervous but we were unaware of it because she was able to control it.

And, it is not just the nervous who can experience a shaking or quivering voice. This problem often affects the elderly and is sometimes heard in younger voices as well. Changing the way you produce your sound will not only solve the problem but give you a voice that is ageless – not too old – not too young. It will be warmer in quality, deeper in pitch, and much more resonant.

Your quivering voice will not go away until you eliminate the undue stress on your vocal folds which can only happen when you learn to support your breath and use your chest to power your sound. As an added bonus, you will find it is also the best means of controlling your nervousness in any form of public speaking.

Well that's how I'd sum up my progress in my first (and fortunately, only) attempt at CAT. Without any background or knowledge whatsoever about Management, I'd decided to take the plunge. And a blind plunge it was.

I had started in July with an attempt at CAT 2006 (Dunno why? But still...), started joining online forums and contacting remote friends for advice. I realized I was really miserable at quant, and focussed on quant itself for the month. I started with Arun Sharma, and pretty soon I was sitting for hours solving exercises. I'd spend up to an hour on some LOD III problems, (no other respite!) and still hope to get somewhere...

In august I started scouting for help, and in the course, joined the TIME aimcat series and a revision series with Munira Lokhandwala. The actual number of fundae in CAT are quite few, and even in the revision series, I think pretty much everything was covered. In the months of August and September, I focused a lot on solving section tests, and in my test taking abilities. The most important lesson here was to program myself to leave a question in 30secs/1 min if I could not reach a solution.

September and October were again spent in taking a lot of mocks. I'd borrowed papers from IMS, CL, CF, and PT practically everywhere and used to solve some 2-3 mocks every week. The important point was comparing my attempts with the 'easy' questions as listed in the keys to the mock. I was very active on Pagalguy, constantly keeping myself updated on AIMCAT's and CL mocks.

The last 3 weeks were spent solving quant and DI Topicwise from old TIME papers. The key here was solving in a group, as even if one of us got the answer, we could see the approach and rapidly move ahead.

Another important point I'd like to highlight here is the effect that the mock tests had on my confidence levels. Getting a top 100 rank almost every time and comparing my attempts with other scorers made me more and surer of my strengths and weaknesses in handling the CAT. In the end, it’s the confidence that you have in yourself that enables you to perform your best…

A Summary of my results…

XAT....Big time flop, scored 60 percentile in quant!

NMAT.....finally selected, merit no 121

IIFT....waitlisted
FMS....Converted MBA (MS) Paid and then withdrew fees

MH MBA CET....99.83 percentile (after 3 Back to Back GDPI’s and some travelling)
SNAP..... All India written Topper, selected in SIBM.

CAT.....99.90 percentile, converted MDI.
IIM’s (Separate from CAT yaar, all important!) Converted AHMEDABAD,
Calcutta, Indore, Kozhikode, Waitlist 152@ Lucknow

Moral of the story....No matter how many calls U convert, U are as good as the best college U converted. Cheers and best of luck!

Remaining Positive at Job Interview

Preparing for an important interview takes time and practice. The feeling of helplessness that overcomes candidates applying for a position can become a factor in the interview process. That sense of vulnerability can cause an interviewee to lack the self confidence that is sought by most employers. The following are tips and tricks can help you to take control of the interview.

Research, research, research. We would suggest that your research include, whenever possible, a conversation with an employee of the company or organization to explore the group culture which would clarify what they value, how they do business, how they treat people, and whether people enjoy working for them. The result of this arduous search will be the assurance that you can bring to an interview any and all available knowledge about the targeted company. This assurance will bolster the self confidence required to make that positive first impression and will help the candidate to be perceived as the problem solver that the company requires. The reason for this is that an employer will be seeking to hire someone capable of solving the company's problems.

Let me give you an Example! A well chosen example can be compared to the picture worth a thousand words which will vastly broaden the positive impact of any answer. Whenever possible, the question will be followed by a short but clear theoretical answer followed by the candidate saying: "Let me give you an example ". Use strategically chosen examples of your past achievements to clarify and illustrate your answers. A well chosen example can be compared to the picture worth a thousand words which will vastly broaden the positive impact of any answer. When asked about business solutions, for example, a candidate can show not only how he or she solved problems but also how they contributed to the success of others by quietly providing help and information behind the scenes which will show them as a team builder as well as a coach.

Answering the question. When a candidate is asked: "Tell us something about yourself", the standard ice breaker question, they could ask: "Do you mean personally or professionally". Answering the question, although it is not always easy, is an important part of controlling the interview. Such tactics portray a lack of focus and an inability or unwillingness to follow instructions all of which are characteristics undesirable in a potential employee. Answering the question, although it is not always easy, is an important part of controlling the interview.

Remain positive at all times. Being able to retrieve the positive elements of even the most negative situation is a desirable characteristic in an employee. Let us take an extreme example. Being fired or downsized can be the most negative experience possible. Yet some of the most successful executives in the history of business have been fired at some point in their career. Those who continued to be successful were not demoralized. They were able to portray there firing as a key learning experience and many were subsequently able to show exactly how what they learnt from that experience contributed to their future success.

The knowledge inherent in all four of these strategies will put the candidate in the power position of being able to deliver the message of their choice to a potential employer under any and all circumstances including the unpredictable situational questions. Practicing and mastering the techniques with friends, colleagues and references will bolster the confidence level of an applicant and will make any interview a positive experience.

Tips on How to Prepare for a Job Interview

Is it your first time for a job interview? Feeling quite nervous about it? Well you don't actually have to because if you do, you will not be able to concentrate well on your interview. Here are some tips to follow which may help you to be prepared enough for your job interview.

1. Do some research about the job
Find out as much as you can about the company or the organization. List the names of officers, department heads and managers
so you can identify to whom you should send your resume.

2. Be on time
It is the best way to start your interview right. Not only do employers not appreciate waiting for job applicants, but they will also think you are not careful about being on time for work or meeting deadlines. Remember first impression does matter, so don't let your employers have a bad impression on you by not being on time.

3. Wear appropriate clothes
Dress neatly and in a style appropriate for the job you are seeking.

4. Put your best foot forward
Remember one of the most important reasons for the interview is to show that you have the ability to do the job. Impress your employers by your witty answers and by being positive without being boastful though. Be courteous, alert and attentive all throughout the interview.

5. Ask questions
The interview is a two way process. Interviewers will more likely appreciate it if you will ask questions pertaining to the job you are applying for and it simply shows that you are really interested to be part of their company.

6. Write a "thank you" letter
Write a letter thanking the person or people you spoke to at the interview. You may also include in your letter clarifications about something during your interview.

With the tips mentioned, surely your interview will be a success. Just stay calm and be confident. As the saying goes "Do your best and God will do the rest."

Warnings From Successful Time Management Experts

We know how important time is in our lives. Often we do not utilize what limited time we have effectively. That is why we end up with piles and piles of tasks to do and jobs to finish. Without proper time management we are vulnerable to stress and an overload of responsibilities. Unfortunately most of us who are in such a situation cannot even begin to identify which task should be done first.

It is important in such a situation to give attention to the way we manage our time. Often we do things without much thought; the result is finding ourselves rushing from one task to another.

Needless to say there are habits we need to correct with regards to our time management practices. Here are a couple of things we should consider among tons of other issues.

A lot of us are guilty of multi-tasking. Whether we admit it or not, more than often we find ourselves doing too many things at the same time. Although it seems a good thing especially when we have a long list of tasks to attend to, most often though we end up only completing 50% of them. As a result we sacrifice the quality of our outputs and lessen our productivity even more.

Multi-tasking is a much less effective way of doing things since moving from one task to another normally leads to losing your momentum and focus. Yes it is okay to multi-task with simple activities. Remember to avoid doing it for those that demands deep thinking and complex thoughts. Give focus and attention to important tasks and maintain a level of discipline wherein you demand nothing less than the best when doing your duties. Especially when these are things that are crucial in achieving the goals and objectives you set out to accomplish.

That's the reason why it's important to properly plan, schedule and prioritize all your activities. Do this in the order you wrote your task on your sheet. Use no more than the time allotted to the task. Give it 100% of your attention.

Another common mistake that should be avoided is working in an environment that is not supporting the task at hand. For instance, having a messy work area leaves you with little room or none to focus on your duties. Working in areas where you are prone to being constantly interrupted often leads to wasting precious time. As your train of thought, momentum and flow are interrupted you also lose focus on your priorities.

It is important then to eliminate the clutter in your surroundings in order to create an environment where you can work freely towards achieving your plans.

Understanding yourself and managing yourself is very important. This will help you to enjoy life even more.
