Ssp-3 Assignment
There was also half information in the resume: according to the case
Pushpa have done her masters from a renowned institute that is HOWARD,
so she should mention that in her CV this will differentiate her CV from
others. Also in her academic section, she should also mention about her 12
and 10 which is missing in her CV.
There was also unexplained gap in the CV: leaving unexplained gaps on
your CV will arouse suspicion with recruiters, so you need to meet the issue
head-on and explain it. Pushpa have not talked about reason behind the gap
in her employment as she was unemployed from June 11 to November 11.
Declaration was also missing in the resume: Declaration plays a vital role
in a CV and it was missing in pushpa’s CV.

ANS: These are some traits of candidates that are evaluated by panellists of a group
discussion with examples :
Team spirit
A GD is the most powerful tool to evaluate a person's team skills. Team skills are
important simply because, in the present knowledge economy, it is very essential
for a manager to be a team player. A manager will always work in teams. In the
beginning of his career, a manager works as a team member and, later on, as a
team leader.
Leadership
1. Participants were not able to establish a proper rapport and do not speak much.
2. Participants get emotionally attached to the topic and become aggressive.
3. Participants discuss the topic calmly, touching upon all nuances, and try to reach
a conclusion.
A leader is a person who facilitates the third type of situation in a GD. A leader
shows the group direction, whenever it moves away from the topic. He or she
inspires and motivates team members to express their views and also coordinates
the effort of different participants.
Flexibility
This means openness to another person's ideas and also being open to the
evaluation of one's own ideas. To stay flexible in a group discussion, try to create a
framework and avoid taking a stand in the beginning.
For instance, if the topic is 'Should India go to war with Pakistan?', some
participants may get emotionally attached to the topic and take a stand.
But, by taking a stand, a person has reached a conclusion, even without discussing
the topic at hand or listening to the views of his or her team members.
Moreover, if a person who has taken a stand faces a very strong point against his
point at the 11th hour, he is in a typical Catch 22 situation.
2. If he does not change his stand, he is seen as inflexible, stubborn and obstinate.
Flexibility is an important personality trait. A person who is flexible will have less
sharp corners in his personality and his friction with people around will also be
less.
Assertiveness
Being assertive is all about being positive, confident and emphatic. An assertive
person has an inherent ability to put his point across the group in a friendly and
confident manner. His body language is positive and he has a friendly disposition
towards fellow group members.
Initiative
An idea or perspective that opens new horizons for a discussion on the topic is
highly appreciated in a GD. For example, while conducting a GD on the 'US
invasion on Iraq', a participant once came out with an innovative point related to
the theory of 'Euro vs. Dollar'.
It was put across very convincingly and discussed at length by the group.
At another GD on 'Men can cook better than women', a participant added a new
dimension by bringing in a fresh perspective like 'Cooking is not only about food. I
know men can cook better lies than women.' Fresh ideas are always appreciated.
Inspiring ability
A good group discussion should incorporate the views of all team members. If
some members want to express their ideas but are not getting an opportunity to do
so, giving them an opportunity will be seen as a positive leadership trait.
Listening
This is a very important skill. It is said that humans have been gifted with two ears
and one mouth. Apart from being a good listener, there should be a balance
between the expression of your ideas and imbibing the ideas of others.
Communication skills
In GD-PI, one of the most important things that is noticed are your communication
skills. Not only should you put your point across in an impressive way, but also be
adequately audible and clear. For example, Make sure that you are loud enough to
be heard by one and all, but do not shout or be rude while conveying your
thoughts.
Awareness
In today's dynamic environment, a manager should be well versed with both the
micro and macro environments. Your awareness about your environment helps a
lot in your GD content, which carries maximum weight.
Apart from these qualities, communication skills, confidence and the ability to
think on one's feet are also very important.
