Why candiates can't ace the interviews sometimes even after having great Technical knowledge.

Fear of facing the interviews
Presentation skills.
Body Language
Reframing.

Three skills that makes candidates to standout in the interview

?
1. Story telling : This is one skill not only the
2. Ability to build connection : 4F Fear,  failures.
3. Mindset: I have heard many times from the hiring managers that the candidate is technically sound and could have solved that problem statement of he or she would have invested another half an hour in the process. They want results for pressing problems immediately and lack the patience to work and rework on the problem till they can see new scenarios. 

Ways to land dream job for candiates working in smaller firms.

Recently I was talking to my friend who works for one of the top ten companies in the world.  He is a great coder and problem solver and I have heard great reviews about his work from my network.  If you are a technology professional with great skills but unable to influence your circle or network or yet to earn the respect you deserve. Here are the five things you need to do. 
1. Write a blog / shoot a video : what is the point having the knowledge which cannot help the people in your network.
2. Attend technology events and see show case your application or talent.
3. Master the art of public speaking skills. Join Toastmasters or any other forums which takes your speaking skills to the next level.

5. Follow your passion which allows you to rejuvenate your energy levels and keep the fun loving kid in you alive  so that you can refocus on your goals and achieve them and earn the respect you deserve.

How to know who is your best customer

P—Personal fulfillment: how much do you enjoy dealing with this type of customer? Sometimes we work with “pain in the butt” type customers just because of the money. Here you rate how much you enjoy working with this market segment.


V—Value to the marketplace: how much does this market segment value your work? Are they willing to pay you a lot for your work?

P—Profitability: how profitable is the work you do for this market segment? Sometimes, even when you are charging high fees for your work, when you look at the numbers it may be barely profitable or even loss-making. Remember it’s not about the “turnover,” it’s all about the “left over.”

For our photographer example, his PVP index may look as follows:

Weddings Photojournalism Personal fulfillment = 5 Personal fulfillment = 9 Value to the marketplace = 7 Value to the marketplace = 7 Profits = 9 Profits = 2 Total score: 21 Total score: 18 Corporate photography Family portraits Personal fulfillment = 3 Personal fulfillment = 9 Value to the marketplace = 6 Value to the marketplace = 8 Profits = 9 Profits = 9 Total score: 18 Total score: 26
