How to become Job Ready While In College?- General Aptitude


General Aptitude:
General Aptitude is a must for folks who plan to pursue a Management degree(CAT/GMAT) or Study abroad (GMAT/GRE/TOEFL). This aptitude is absolutely required for getting through the Government/Public Sector exams (Banks, IAS, Public Sector exams).

Here the focus is on rapid solving. So a lot of practice is needed to complete the Questions within the prescribed time.

Quantitative Aptitude
           This is nothing but your Maths of 6-12th Standard. I would suggest the RS Agarwal book & Competition Success Review Publications as a starting level. The next level would be to check out the books of GRE. Final level would be the books/courses for CAT exams for those of you keen on the Management Courses.
General English
This is more of a test of your English vocabulary. This requires a bit more effort than Quantitative Aptitude especially if your strength is not the English Language. The cliché “Read English Newspaper Daily” is still the best advice that I can give. In addition, you can refer to TOEFL/GMAT books to improve the vocabulary. Another technique is to print “Word Cards” and carry it with you always to improve the vocabulary.
General Knowledge
          General Knowledge (G.K.) is again more of a habit than a Quick skill that can be developed through a “Crash Course”. Again “Read English Newspaper Daily”. Competition Success Review Publications are a good source for base-lining your current skills and improving it.

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett      

Repeat the Basics!

When you repeat the basics You don't only become great - you will stay great! -Darius Foroux Repeat 🔂 the basics of many things in your Life: 1. Fitness - Walking  2. Philosophy - read your favorite Author - everyday! 3. Kindness - random act of giving  4. Business -  What is the purpose of business? 5. Writing  -  Read the "The Elements of Style - Strunk & White"  Its very simple : Figure out the basics of the given field : 5-6 principles And repeat them day after day Back to the Basics! If you do so , you will lead a life with chronic White-belt mentality 😅 leading to Humility  even if your performance is that of a Master Black-belt! If you do so,  you not only become an expert of the field you will stay as one!
