A job interview isn't simply a test of your knowledge; it's also a test of your ability to use it appropriately. Understanding the major areas on which you should concentrate when preparing for your first job interview is essential. I'll guide you through some of the most crucial elements to consider while preparing for your first interview.

<h3><em>So, let’s begin….</em></h3>

1. On your resume, be honest.

  • In your CV, don't lie about anything. If you lie, you will lack confidence while answering questions on that issue, and you will become uneasy as a result. So, just tell it like it is.
  • By lying, you are undermining your knowledge and talents, which you have worked hard to acquire.
  • Emphasize your talents and your readiness to learn new skills if you don't have any.

2. Prepare your introduction well:

  • Make a self-introduction that you should be able to finish saying in 1 minute 30 seconds once you've finished preparing your resume. Self-introductions that are too long are not heard and may appear uninteresting.
  • Make your strengths, whether technical or non-technical, stand out.
  • Be detailed with your self-introduction since it can help you make a positive first impression.

3. Always keep a backstory for some answers:

  • Some questions, such as strengths and shortcomings, need a history to support your response. In most cases, a history to support your response helps both you and the interviewer understand how you are overcoming that limitation. The same may be said about strengths.

4. Always proofread your resume:

  • Check your resume twice. Make sure that it does not have any kind of grammatical errors or spelling mistakes.
  • Errors in resume make a bad impression.

5. Have a fundamental understanding of the company:

  • Read up on the company's profile that you'll be applying for. Read about the many industries that the firm operates in, the CEO's name, where the company is situated, why the company was recently in the news, and so on.
  • Believe me when I say that if you answer these questions correctly, you will make a great first impression. It demonstrates that you are aware of and interested in the company's work.

6. Make sure you're ready for the technical round:

  • Make a list of the most often requested technical questions. This should be done three to four days before the interview. Prepare responses and make sure to cover all of the fundamentals of the areas you stated on your CV.
  • Also, be prepared to answer questions about your final year project. Revise the flow chart diagrams and, if applicable, block diagrams, since they are easier to explain in a shorter amount of time.

7. HR Round:

  • The HR round is really important. Look for the most frequently asked HR questions (you can get them from various sources). Prepare a few words to support your answer or point of view for each response.

8. Choose and prepare your outfit the day before:

  • Wear a dress that is both comfy and ironed. Look at the executives on the about me page if you're unsure. That's how you should dress.
  • Maintain a polished and understated appearance. Don't go overboard with the accessories.

Important details to keep in mind (before, during, and during the interview):

- Maintain a cheerful and self-assured attitude.

- Emphasize appropriate body language by sitting in a proper posture and maintaining eye contact. Maintain a friendly demeanor and a small grin on your face.

- Be truthful

- Arrive on time

- All you have to do is give it your all. If you give it your all and still don't get the job, that's life.

- Be courteous

- Pay attention to what they're saying and pay attention to what they're saying. If you don't understand a question, politely inquire for clarification.

Simply keep these things in mind and plan beforehand. Give it your all and don't give up until you succeed.

I hope this helped

Assess the benefits and drawbacks of the high-speed rail project. In your opinion, do benefits outweigh drawbacks, or vice versa
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The benefits of a High Speed Rail in California:

  • It becomes a feasible alternative to air travel, because it can be either cheaper, or even faster, since passengers do not have to spend as much time on a train station as they do on an airport.
  • If demand is high enough, state highways can become less congested, because many people who would otherwise travel by car, would take a high speed train instead.
  • Because the trains are electric, they are likely to help reduce pollution.

The cons would be:

  • We cannot know for sure how many people would take the high speed trains. Demand could not be high enough to justify the cost.
  • The line would be very costly.
  • It could end up benefit only a small section of the population who would take the trains, or who travel often.

I believe that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, as can be seen in most countries where high speed lines have been made between large cities. For example, in Spain, the line between Madrid and Barcelona is profitable. The same would likely happen for a line between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

What are the implications of starting a project based on tenuous projections that may or may not come true 10 years from now?

If demand projections are tenous, there is always the possiblity that the high speed line could not be profitable. However, this risk can be lowered if the line is made between highly populated cities.

Could you justify the California high-speed rail project from the perspective of a massive public works initiative?

Yes, a high speed rail would be a project that could massively impact California. The benefits of its operation could outweight the cost.

In other words, what other factors enter into the decision of whether to pursue a high-speed rail project?

As I said before, the most important factor is to construct line between highly populated cities in order to reduce the risk of not having enough demand. It has been demonstrated around the world, in Spain, in Italy, in Japan, in China, that high speed lines that connect very populated regions, can be profitable.

Being entries to write down merchandise inventory to its realizable amount.

2. Revised partial Income statement

                                         Amount

Explanation:

According to IAS 2 inventories, Inventory is initially be recognized at the cost of purchase (which includes the cost of the item and other associated cost such as freight)

Subsequently, inventory would be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

As such, whenever the cost is higher than the net realizable value, the cost of the inventory will be written down by

Since the current replacement cost of ending merchandise inventory is $16000 and the Cost is $21000.

Amount to be written down

= $21000 - $16000

= $5,000

To adjust for this,

Debit Cost of goods sold  $5,000

Credit Inventory account   $5,000

Total amount in cost of goods sold = $49,000 + $5,000

= $54,000

Revised partial Income statement

                                      Amount

Sales revenue                $121,000

Cost of goods sold          $54,000

Gross Profit                      $67,000
