By Padarbind www.mainstayabroad.com

It seems to be very funny question that what is your interesting work? But let me tell you it's matter of understanding towards our work behaviour. In every case directly or indirectly we are engaged in variety of actions. Somewhere  we give 100% attention and  get motivation to  do those works. Another way there are certain works that are not likeable even. Another reality is, it becomes a challenging factor for us to be dedicated on our interesting works. As multitasking assignments and responsibilities from personal and professional life, making our life tougher day by day.  There many interesting jobs generally we would like to get ourselves engaged, maybe for self satisfaction or  revenue generation by livelihood for sustainability.

  Most of the cases, It is quite generalized that innovative thoughts start bearing unique ideas on  desirous interest or hobby. Whenever you come across with a new thought,  make it your first priority. Do not leave it by slip of thinking. Note it down and act it upon. There are many small and big creative thoughts created in human mind in every second. Imagine how they can be resorted with images to execute later on.  Creative Mind creates innovative thoughts. Creativity is a father. One step of self-understanding to make a positive habit of generating ideas can make miracle.   Nothing can be faster than thinking and thinking differently makes us unique. It dazzles to represent out of box thinking.   A piece of writing about the way you think can share genuine content to the world. Unboxing thoughts  speaks  genuineness  aloud .  One mood can dwell passion, honesty and discipline for concreteness.   Creativity build...

People laughed at me because I did not know Grammar.

By Padarbind www.mainstayabroad.com

  It was a time when I was in question-and-answer round of English tests, I could explain much on Grammar and sometimes gave wrong answer. Everybody sitting in the room embarrassed me with a straight criticizing tone that “you are speaking in English but unable to explain Grammar. How come?” truly, such disgusting moment for me it was. Felt very sorry on me and asked myself question that “what went wrong? Where I can speak in English but unable to explain Grammar.” Later on, overthinking with slight stress, some of ideas simply bore in mind. Self-doubt put me down but decided to find out possible solution. Luckily reached the place of solution. After all, came to know that speaking English is a skill but understanding the language and its structures with appropriation on grammatical aspects are different.   One can improve his or her speaking skills. There is no denying that it will take a few months to enhance ability to speak better but without knowing common applied grammar...

  The most challenging tasks in the interview process for freshers can vary depending on the industry, company, and the specific role being applied for. However, I can outline some common challenges that many freshers face during interviews: Lack of Experience : Freshers often struggle with limited professional experience, making it challenging to demonstrate their abilities and skills relevant to the job. Technical and Knowledge-based Assessments: Many interviews involve technical assessments or tests to evaluate a candidate's understanding of core concepts and skills related to their field of study or the role they are applying for. Behavioral Interviews: Answering behavioral questions effectively can be difficult for freshers who may not have a wealth of workplace experiences to draw upon. These questions often require situational examples and problem-solving skills. Communication Skills: Articulating thoughts clearly and effectively during interviews can be challengi...

Don't cram the answers. The experienced experts, examiners with band descriptors are well versed to take interview for speaking assessment.  The examiners are observant who have interviewed a large number of candidates. They will quickly recognize if you give them a memorized response by cramming possible answers or if you speak freely with prompt thinking. You would have to learn how to paraphrase sentences and use vocabulary correctly and efficiently. This is only possible with a lot of practice. So begin phrasing your answers in your head as you speak. Learn meaning and understand the meaning contextually of the words generally, people use in interviews and speeches by reading and listening to them. This will improve your vocabulary knowledge and allow you to apply the correct word into the sentence while responding the examiner. Make an effort to provide complete responses. Stop answering questions with Yes and No in a monosyllabic type and instead cons...
