09 Aug 11 Why People Prefer to Shop Online?

With the growing surge of Internet usage and availability of high speed Internet almost everywhere, people have cultivated many new habits solving many of their problems sitting right in front of the computer. And shopping is one of them. People are more and more inclined towards e-commerce these days. And even 10 years before who couldn’t think of purchasing things online, are nowadays found to be avid online shoppers and recommending the same to friends and family. Here are some reasons for the growing trend of online shopping.

Ease and convenience

Online shopping is a place where the customer can actually feel like a king, since he can delay as long as he want, shop without anyone watching from behind, without facing a crowded shopping outlet and most importantly right from home or work place, in front of the computer irrespective of time and place.   Moreover one need not stand in long queue in front of billing counter or check time in hand. Suppose, you have a wedding to attend in a day and you want a really nice dress, but you just don’t have time to shop. What to do? Well, buying online is the answer. Buy immediately, pay that time (if with net banking or debit cards) or later (with credit card or easy installments or pay on delivery). What more can one asks for?

Whenever, wherever

Yes, with online shopping you are actually the king, the global shopper. If the website you are buying from ships its products everywhere in this world, there is nothing like it. It is like a shop open for 24 hours, for everyone, anywhere. You can purchase a toy even at middle of night from a seller in Africa, while sitting in a restaurant of Melbourne, Australia. What can be more fun than this?

Chances of discounts

If you are buying online, anything be it airlines ticket or a spa treatment, there are chances at times of winning some discount with the help of discount coupons found on internet through search. In physical form of shopping you may or may not get discounts always. But on web, finding good brands even at discounted rate is not rare.

Hassle free gifts

Online shopping also opens opportunities for gifting. When your dear ones are located in far away city or country, and you can’t reach them personally on special days, but you want to gift them something nice and again you don’t have time; online shopping is the best thing to do. The seller will send your gift nicely with your personalized message to the desired recipient. All you have to do for this is pay. That’s it.

Was shopping ever so easier and happier before the advent of online shopping?

31 Jul 10 3 Time Wasters to Avoid If You Want to Make It Big In Life

Time is the currency in which corporate warriors trade in. And why just corporate warriors, we all do business using this currency only, but not everyone – in fact most of us – are wise with the way we spend time. We often splurge on spending time chit-chatting or just day dreaming, which we should not. But to defeat the “time wasting” monsters, we need to figure out first who they are and where they are. The aim of this blog post is to do that only. To make you aware of the 3 biggest time wasters, so that you can fight it off.

3 time wasting monsters

Personal conversation

This is the most dangerous monster that covertly follows you everywhere, which you always fail to notice until it’s already late. You can find this monster lurking around in your office and even in your home. It makes you feel that you are doing some important discussion, but the fact is you are not. You are just wasting time talking about your personal stuff when you should be working on the project at hand.

There is a time and place for personal discussion. Confine it there only. Do not let it disturb your work schedule.

Frequently checking e-mails

E-mails are important, and some are very important. But none of them is as important as the work you have at your hand, so it will be more fruitful to spend time on doing the work than checking mails, regularly.

Make a mail checking routine. I would suggest checking your mails once or twice a day, but if you expect important mails throughout the day or if you cannot live without browsing through your inbox then check your mail 4 times a day, at max. Do not let this monster kill your time.

Breaks

Taking breaks during a day is important, as it help you energize yourself. A break helps you remove your thought from the project, and hence get a fresh perspective on the subject matter, when you get back to it after the break. But frequent or too many breaks do not allow you to come back to the subject matter, ruining the purpose of the break itself.

Too many breaks create distraction, so avoid indulging in that. In fact, I will suggest you to make a “break taking” plan around your work schedule. This will keep you on track, and the plan will keep this “time wasting” monster contained.

These 3 monsters should be avoided at any cost, if your goal is to do anything with your life.

09 Oct 09 Pre-Interview Preparation

How you prepare for an interview can be just as important as what you do in the actual interview.  The way you prepare can dictate how you are received.  Not preparing well could be the difference between getting a job, and sealing your fate to rejection.  The importance of the little things cannot be understated.  So you should remember that, when you’re getting ready for that next interview.

Everything starts in the phone call that you receive, notifying you that you’ve been chosen for an interview.  Make sure that you write down the information on when and where the interview will be taking place.  Jot down the time as well.  Then make sure to find out any documentation that you need to bring to interview.  Before ending the conversation, make sure to double check the time and place, and the documents you’ll need.  The worst first impression you can make for an interview, is to show up late.

If you aren’t already familiar with the location of the interview, it’s a good idea to look up directions and do a run through.  See how long it takes to get to the interview site, and learn the route.  That way when the day comes you don’t risk being late by aimlessly looking for the location, or getting into unexpected traffic.

Now to the interview outfit.  It’s best to pick your outfit in advance, so that you know what you are going to wear, and aren’t forced to figure anything at the last minute.  Choose something professional, that’s clean and tidy.  An outfit that fits you well, and that is free of stains or tears.

Finally, on the day of the interview, be sure to leave early.  The worst thing you can do at an interview, is show up late.  Many interviewers won’t hire an applicant that can’t show up to an interview on time.  Keep that on time, and show up 10-15 minutes early.  That way you show yourself to be prepared, and committed to the job opportunity.
