Calling for the CREATIVE
Interior Design encompasses planning space and furnishing the interiors whether these are private homes, public buildings, or commercial establishments such as offices, hotels, hospitals, shopping malls and showrooms. Creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment that solves the customer’s problems and links space to business strategies and goals, or personal needs. It could also include the renovation and redesign of buildings. The recent real estate boom has brought into focus the need not only for attractive and exotic structures, buildings, and innovative urban complexes, but also for professionally designed interior spaces . Moreover, as buildings and materials get more complex technologically and regulations and standards more demanding, interior design is becoming increasingly
specialised. Interior designers can now specialise in:
lOffice buildings and commercial complexes —The workspace must be designed for functional use and provide users with daylight, privacy, workflow space, and personalised workspace in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Multinationals and private companies use workplace design that often focus on their business needs and values, to attract and retain a talented, high performing workforce l
Healthcare and hospital design — The healthcare sector is growing rapidly with large companies setting up state-of-the-art hospitals and clinics across the country for providing multi-speciality healthcare services. Such institutions require special design attention to be able to cater to the needs of all kinds of patients, and medical facilities. The layout of rooms, access to facilities, placement of accessories and medical equipment are some of the challenges for the designer. l
Hospitality — The design and decoration of hotel and hospitality spaces is of great importance as the image of an organisation depends on it. Often it is not the flamboyant or luxurious aspect of the décor, but the styling, aesthetics and the needs of the customers that need to be kept in mind. lShopping malls are coming up rapidly and require specialised attention with regard to space, display of products, and the general ambience to attract buyers. Shop window displays, which have become an essential part of large retail stores, and company showrooms, are also an important part of the design element here. l
Theatre and set design — Creating stage decor for theatre, drama productions or musical shows, and also for creating the scenic background for films and TV shows and serials. l
Exhibition design — You may be required to plan the entire exhibition site, individual stalls, display panels or even the stage for fashion shows, product launches and other such events. Work profile An interior designer often works in coordination with architects, as well as painters, artisans, craftsmen and carpenters within a given structure keeping with the client’s needs and budget. The interior designer should also be aware of the different types of materials available in the market so as to be able to use the right type of material to the best advantage, while at the same time, keeping in mind the utility, aesthetic appeal and economic viability of the design. They then prepare layout plans, elevations, perspectives or even sample models, if required. Budgeting and managing finances is also extremely essential since finance is the basic requirement without which it is impossible to organise either design, materials, or labour. An interior designer must, therefore, know how to deal with labour, be familiar with all the raw materials, their costing and procurement, and ensure that deadlines are met. Getting In In this creative field, intrinsic talent is a major pre-requisite. There are many successful interior designers who have had no formal training. However, training hones the natural talent or flair for designing. A working knowledge of computers and design specific applications is also important for all areas of design as today much of the designing is done through Computer Aided Design (CAD). There are a lot of institutes that offer diplomas as well as courses that range over a period of one year and even beyond, and can be pursued after Class XII in any stream. Many of these courses also incorporate practical work to give students the necessary work experience. Polytechnics and vocational training schools in most cities conduct these courses. The School of Interior Design, Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT), Ahmedabad, offers a five-year professional programme in interior design to students who have completed Plus II with science, securing at least 60 per cent marks in the aggregate. Apeejay Institute of Design, DIA Academy, and Raffles Millenium Institute also offer bachelor’s and diploma courses in interior design. Admission to all courses is on the basis of an admission test. In addition to academic qualifications, to become an interior designer you need to have aesthetic sense, creative sensibility and imagination coupled with a logical and analytical mind. As each design project is based on a client’s need, you also must understand people and lifestyles and have an interest in the social environment and the community’s tastes, needs and customs. The ability to draw is a must — you should be able to express your ideas in sketches and translate them into accurate working specifications. You should also be able to work in a team and handle all kinds of people, clients as well as skilled and unskilled workers.

— Avantika Dewan A. Human Rights is the study of our universal and fundamental rights irrespective of all man-made classifications like caste, creed, sex, nationality etc. Human rights are the basic rights of a person to survive i.e. the right for good, healthy food, right for clean water, freedom of movement and speech, freedom from slavery and discrimination. Representing fundamental human values, these rights are eternal, inalienable and unvarying; all other rights flow from these. Although Human Rights is still in its budding stage in India, and our HR record is not all that great (going by the controversial Amnesty International report) there are many avenues open for a student specialising in this field. Besides social service organisations like old age homes and age care centres, NGOs working with the disabled, orphans, destitutes, refugees, mentally retarded, drug-addicts or with established NGOs in the fields of human rights and civil liberties in general and human rights activism, disaster and emergency relief, humanitarian assistance, child, bonded labour, displaced people, drug abuse, conflict resolution and public interest litigation. International organisations and NGOs are on a constant look out for those with specialisation in Human Rights. These include United Nations (UNIFEM, ILO, UNESCO, UNDCP, UNFPA, WHO, US Aid, Amnesty International, Oxfam, etc) CRY, Red Cross, DANIDA, YMCA, YWCA and many more. Statutory government bodies and cooperatives in India like the National and State Commissions on Women, Children, Human Rights, Labour, Welfare, Minorities, SC and ST, Military, Paramilitary and Police Departments, Panchayati Raj institutions, schools, colleges and universities, including research bodies and centres of excellence, district rural development agencies and district urban development agencies, human rights consultancy organisations run by lawyers and legal experts, are other places to tap. You can also work with correctional institutions in the fields of juvenile delinquency, child abuse, women reformation centres, prisons, homes for the homeless etc While Human rights is an interesting domain, let me sound a note of caution: simply doing a course in HR without a Social Work (MSW) or law background (LLB) won’t get you a job directly. Specialising in human rights or international law, after a basic law degree would offer better prospects. Plans are afoot to make Human Rights education mandatory in all schools and colleges in a few years. This would create demand for Human Rights lecturers, teachers and counsellors in future.
Communication skills must for PR
— Madhusree Dutt A. A PR professional’s job is to promote an organisation’s image, communicate information about its activities and ensure that correct information is disseminated to the right people. You’ll help organisations smartly manage their relations with stakeholders – investors, customers, government, employees, future employees, and the general public at large. The qualities required of a true PR person are excellent communication skills, including the ability to speak and write well, the ability to persuade, oodles of self-confidence, adaptability, an outgoing and extrovert personality, and a cool unflappable temperament and good organisation skills. Contrary to the somewhat simplistic notion that most people carry in their heads about it being nothing but “wining and dining” and liaison work, PR as well as Corporate Communication as it is also sometimes called, is a planned deliberate activity and serious business. It calls for meticulous research of the client’s profile, the market, and its competition. Only then can you evolve a focused and effective action plan. And this is not the end of the story. You must follow this with a periodic image audit to ensure that the desired goal is achieved.
MBA in Germany
— Vinit Suri A. From what I gather, management education at the Master’s level is a relatively recent phenomenon in Germany as compared to the US and even other parts of Europe. Until a few years ago, management education in Germany revolved around a degree called the Diplom-Kaufmann, a four-year programme that gave graduates the equivalent of a Master’s degree. Which is perhaps why we don’t see too many German B-schools featuring in the global B-school rankings. Few have ever appeared on international b-school rankings. Only a handful are well-known abroad. For one of Europe’s major economies, and the home of some of the world’s largest companies and financial institutions, this is a surprise. However, the scenario is fast changing. Since the “Bologna process” of reforming European higher education began in 1999, Germany has adopted the Bachelor / Master degree system common elsewhere. Many of the established universities are launching their MBA programmes. Some of them have struck collaborations with leading global B-schools to augment their offerings. Among the better known B-schools here are five names that seem to have a head start: Mannheim Business School at the University of Mannheim WHU - Otto Beisheim Graduate School of Management GISMA Business School Goethe Business School (GBS) — Goethe University Frankfurt HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management Mannheim and WHU (mostly because of its Kellogg EMBA) are the clear frontrunners, while HHL, Goethe and TU Munich offer a solid quality. There are also some other B-schools and programmes aspiring to be among the top names in both Germany and Europe within a few years. One such is the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT), a Berlin-based institute founded by 25 large German corporations in 2002. Students in all of these schools are taught in English, which is a prerequisite to be able to attract international students, as well as an international faculty. However, if you haven’t done so already, I suggest you put learning German language among your top priorities – either from Max Mueller Bhawan etc here or as soon as you land there. If you want to work in Germany, you don’t need to be fluent, but you should speak some German at least. If you are willing to learn the language, then it’s not difficult to find a job.

Slim chance
Slimming World Head of Nutrition and Research Jacquie Lavin said the survey was one of the greatest indications yet of the scale of obesity discrimination in the workplace. “It's unfortunate that only 16 per cent of people who are obese feel supported by their work colleagues in their efforts to lose weight and disappointing that one in four say they have suffered negative comments about their weight while at work," she said. More than 2,000 British adults over the age of 18 were surveyed by pollsters YouGov in the study for Slimming World. Of these, 227 were employers. Respondents were asked to comment on their attitudes towards obesity in the workplace. Their responses were matched to their size measured according to a calculation of height and weight known as the Body Mass Index (BMI). The survey found that people in the highest weight category (BMI 40+) were four times more likely to "never" feel confident and twice as likely to dread applying for a new job. Male employers were particularly prejudicial. One in four of the surveyed male bosses say they would turn down a potential candidate because of their weight and one in 10 admitted to having already done so. Slimming World highlighted the case of its Man of the Year Roberto Enrieu who lost his IT consultant job. "My confidence was shattered and as a very overweight person looking for work I was faced with a huge amount of prejudice," he said in the statement this month. Enrieu subsequently lost 159 kg (350 lb) on a slimming regimen and has since become a swimming instructor. — Reuters

An enterprising choice
The year 2009 witnessed a slump in the job market characterised by a sharp decline in job offers and pay packages, a direct repercussion of the economic meltdown. With the economy showing positive signs of recovery, 2010 is expected to ring in good news for job seekers from all quarters. However, economic forces of market demand and supply take time to adjust and in such situations, it may not be possible for the job market to witness a spurt in job opportunities all of a sudden.
Such a scenario presents umpteen opportunities for budding entrepreneurs, capitalizing on which they can generate multiple avenues not only for themselves but for others as well, thereby emerging as job providers in place of job seekers. The time is especially ripe for those with great ideas to give a shape to their dreams. In fact, increasing number of people are now already opting for entrepreneurship as a career option not only due to the dearth of opportunities in the formal sector but also due to their desire to dream big, be independent and do something on their own. For instance, there have been numerous instances wherein students from premier institutions of the country like the IIMs have declined job offers and hefty pay packages from big enterprises only to follow their heart’s calling and establish their own undertakings.
Who is an entrepreneur?
According to Austrian Economist, Joseph Schumpeter, an entrepreneur is one who seeks “to reform or revolutionise the pattern of production by exploiting an invention or, more generally, an untried technological possibility for producing a new commodity or producing an old one in a new way, by opening up a new source of supply of materials or a new outlet for products.” Entrepreneurs are individuals who undertake major risks in terms of equity, time and career commitment to produce goods, services or ideas of value. In so doing, they ensure optimum utilisation of a country’s resources like capital, raw materials, machinery and most significantly human resource. By providing employment to 70 per cent of our population, which we so proudly proclaim to be young, entrepreneurship can help in solving the problem of unemployment which is rife in our country. Self-employed people can help in reducing the vast gap existing being the supply of labour and demand for labour.
Qualities
Risk taking ability is the first and foremost ability that an entrepreneur needs to possess. The logic behind it being that “profits are made during periods of risk” which means that an entrepreneur needs to have the heart to take risks if at all he or she intends to reap the profits accruing thereof. Being the captain of the ship, it becomes extremely important for an entrepreneur to be a self-motivated being. He will have to acknowledge and realise the fact that there will be no external party of influence to provide encouragement. Especially if the entrepreneur happens to be the only member of the ship he is steering i.e. a sole proprietor, he will be responsible for meeting market demands and client expectations all by himself. In case he has a team to work with, it will be his prerogative to ensure that the team is highly motivated, well co-ordinated and functions as a cohesive unit. Adequate knowledge of the market, existing market players, competitors, price mechanism, and trends prevailing in the market, is essential. In addition, an entrepreneur needs to survey the needs, tastes and preferences of consumers to ensure that the product or service produced has market demand. Innovativeness and creativity are also important attributes that entrepreneurs need to possess. Additionally, entrepreneurs need to be persevering enough to pursue creative ideas till they materialise into products or services of use. Moreover, an entrepreneur’s responsiveness to change (especially in terms of techniques of production adopted) and readiness to learn and acquire new skills will determine success in the field. Apart from mastery of certain skills, working knowledge of all the tasks associated with trade is crucial.
Training and eligibility
Good news is that to be an entrepreneur, you do not need to meet any specific eligibility criteria. In fact, anyone with aforementioned abilities, the courage to dream big and the perseverance to take pains, can be an entrepreneur. However, keeping in mind the transformation that industries today have undergone due to the advancement of technology, emergence of new players, it becomes imperative for a new entrant to gain additional exposure, training and mentoring. For such budding entrepreneurs there are institutes that provide short as well as long-term entrepreneurship training. Training in entrepreneurship helps in cultivating and developing leadership abilities, problem solving skills, decision-making ability, marketing skills, business management skills, and other prerequisites. In addition to classroom training, practical training involving field studies and personal interactions with successful entrepreneurs is also imparted. One has access to both degree and diploma courses in entrepreneurship management. A Bachelor’s degree in any stream is the minimum educational qualification required to gain entry into such institutions. A budding entrepreneur can also pursue an MBA degree specialising in entrepreneurship. Institutions offer full time, part time and even online Entrepreneurship MBA programmes. Some might wish to join the family run business and transform it according to new lines. For such people the groundwork has already been done but in case they intend to further polish and hone their skills, they can opt for executive programs of shorter duration and enjoy flexibility of timings.
Scope
Entrepreneurship has immense scope both in India and overseas. Those with a burning desire to enlarge the scale of their operations can even expand their business ventures beyond the boundaries of India. In such a case, an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the international economy and business methods is needed. Earlier, a lack of finance acted as a major hindrance for those interested in setting up their own undertakings but today, due to the emergence of private equity players, angel groups and venture capitalists, finance is no longer a constraint and can be easily procured by individuals interested in setting up their own enterprises.

Netting success
Yogesh Bansal, the CEO of ApnaCircle.com, is among the pioneers of social networking in our country as this MBA from University of North Carolina, started the company in 2006 with a vision to make it a truly mega brand. Before starting ApnaCircle.com, he has spent significant time in finding market intelligence by market research on the domain. He shares the high points of his journey in an interview. Excerpts: What was the motivation behind starting this
venture? The idea struck me in 2006. That was the time when social networking was becoming a rage in the US and I was a witness to this growing industry. When I moved to India, I saw this opportunity that would allow a large number young people to connect and at the same time derive value out of it for their individual growth. I saw the need and worked and researched and interestingly found that the youth were rating their friends and career high. And, at that point of time there was no such platform that would have catered to both these aspects. So, I developed a platform, ApnaCircle.com, which is a relevant platform and caters to both these aspects. Tell us about your venture in
detail It is a career and business networking site. It is today considered as one of the largest interconnected Indian professional networking sites and has a membership of 3, 50,000 from across the country. Unlike other networking sites, it focuses more on business and career aspects besides having the fun elements of social networking. Other networking sites either focus on the social aspect or the professional aspect. We provide both. We have also developed some applications that make the users experience very local like SMS, jobs, causes etc which are very desi and people find that really exciting. You did your MBA from abroad so wasn’t landing a job there an obvious choice for
you? Yes, I got a job in campus placement there, and I worked there for five years. After that I started a few companies as well. But the pull of the motherland was always there at the back of my mind.As our country’s economy prospered, I could see ample opportunities to start something in India. This coupled up with some personal reasons brought me back. How can social networking sites help in career
growth? It has become a recent trend as social networking sites and online presence has gained ground. People should start with building their professional/personal profile on the site. They can add relevant information under various subs that they would want their networks to be exposed to. Your profile builds your image, packages you as a brand and acts as your resume as it reveals relevant information about you and your professional self. These days even employers do online background search of a prospective employee. They try to go through their profiles and then check their personal and professional feedback/references with which they get a fair idea in general about the person. Also, it helps them to know the candidate's interests, activities, passion etc. Also, ApnaCircle.com provides a platform to passive job seekers. It provides an opportunity to build up a professional network, where prospective employers and employees come to network; connect and build relevant contacts. Various job openings are also listed in a section from where you can look out for job opportunities. Also, you can see and find out if you know anybody from a particular company (where you want to apply) who is there in your network and connect with them to have a better understanding of that particular company or job posting. As an entrepreneur what are the challenges that you faced in India and what difference in work culture you have seen here and abroad (since you have worked there too)? Like any other start-up, we also faced many problems and bottlenecks. There were many issues — hiring the right kind of talent, funds, creation of the right team, etc. However, over a period of time we managed to sort out these problems. What are your future
plans? I would like my company to grow of course. Few years down the line I would like my company to stand as a market leader. A word of advice for youngsters planning to start their own ventures? From the very beginning one has to believe in himself and must have the courage to keep progressing towards one’s goal. It is also important to create a team that believes in the same passion and values as you do. Also, differentiate yourself, be innovative in creating and adding value for customers and must keep in mind that there should be a market for your product.

Deadly Monday
Melbourne:Monday has been found to be the deadliest day of the week as heart attacks, suicides and accidents happen more frequently on that morning than on any other day of the week, according to a new study. The research suggests that this is because people are distracted and unhappy when the weekend is over and they have to go to jobs they don’t like.According to Dr Barton Goldsmith is a California-based marriage and family therapist, if you know your position is secure, but still can’t enjoy that fact, start thinking about what the 10 per cent of people who don’t have a job might be doing (and fearing) in their lives. You need to understand what might be taking away your motivation. Goldsmith said instead of waiting for something better to come along, you could turn to a different job or introduce a home-based business into your new hobby. Take some time out of your busy schedule and get the whole family involved in a little weekend business like a garage sale, reports the Courier Mail. By doing it as a family you have more time for your loved ones. And everyone will appreciate your willingness to take care of business. Learning to look forward to Mondays can help you feel a lot better. —

Make an impression
GDPI for getting into the coveted management colleges is round the corner. Manish Saraf gives some tips to excel in this test
Special
qualities: While selecting candidates, the MBA schools always look for special qualities that will justify the MBA school as well as the courses offered by them. You should have “fire-in-the-belly” and zeal to achieve something big. They look out for achievers. MBA programmes want students who can lead people and be responsible for the management of the entire organisation. Because leadership is one of the main ingredients for success, your communication skills, initiative, and motivation can become the most important aspects of the admission process and these are tested through GDs. MBA schools look out for a candidate who has created value by being at the helm in group-based activities and is comfortable in this role, works well with others and operates smoothly and constructively in collaborative situation, who is not afraid of winning and seeing others lose, with good interpersonal values and morals, brings interesting attributes, experiences and depth of background to the group, is comfortable with change and ready to use it creatively, can write, speak and organise ideas well. In short B-schools look for knowledge, presentation skills, analytical skills, confidence, team spirit, self understanding etc. Managerial
attributes: GDs are conducted to test managerial attributes like interpersonal skills, leadership, analytical and rational thinking, knowledge and personality traits. Communicating in a clear and fluent manner is a must. GDs are aimed at knowing a candidate’s leadership potential and qualities, very good team skills, innovation, creativity, adaptability and the willingness to change, diversity in any aspect of his life etc. How to prepare for
GDs? You can prepare for GD on two levels — individual and group. You should focus on improving your fluency and listening skills. In order to improve your fluency, tonal quality and articulation, you should start reading aloud from a book or newspapers. You should also do some discussions in your peer group. One of the crucial parts of GD is listening. A good listener can summarise discussions well. In this way, he can get a good score by presenting a good case over an idea provided by other participants. You should do some listening exercise for the purpose of GD preparation. Tips to improve
content: For the preparation for content, you have to pick some current affair topics and do research on them. You should understand an event from different perspectives such as personal, social, political, cultural, academic etc. You should remember some important facts and figures of the topic. You should also read national dailies. Case
Study: When practicing for case study it is important to consider the following points l
Analyse information, conclude, act and recommend action. l
Be logical and clear in your reasoning. l
Maintain good eye contact and listen carefully to the information you are given Right view for
interview: The focus of a B-school interview can range from specific questions about your job to broad discussions on life. Approach the interview as a conversation to be enjoyed not as a question-and-answer order. A discussion about your hobby may just go on and on. This doesn’t mean that the interviewers are not serious. It just means that you are being sized up as a person and a future professional in all your dimensions. Interviewers develop and impression of you in the first few minutes of the meeting and spend the rest of the interview confirming their initial impression. Try to be your witty, charming, natural self. Do not try to put on an act. The interviewer will be able to see through your mask. The interview panel may include students. Don’t treat the students as lightweights. Before you appear for an interview, you should have a good idea about what you consider to be your greatest strength. Open-ended questions like “tell me about yourself” are usually the ones that help to start the interview. Lack of preparation is a common complaint among interviewers, and if you are prepared, you will stand out among your competitors. Do your
homework: Do enough research about yourself and the institute so that you have the right answers to some usual questions. These may include: “Why are you right for this particular business school?” and “Why is this particular programme right for you?” You will need to develop and present a framework. Always remember to include SWOT - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats while discussing the case study. You don’t need to stick rigidly to a framework but use it to frame your answer. With written case studies remember to think about your presentation - use paragraphs and bullet points to make your points clear. ( The writer is CEO,PT Education)

Happiness work
Most products today are made in a work chain. One gets a half-finished product from a colleague, finishes it a little and passes it to another workman for further polishing.
In such a scenario, it is vital to know the functioning of the preceding and succeeding departments in the workflow to manage your work better. Communicate on both sides of your work chain to avoid misunderstandings. During monsoon, the lack of communication with Sugriva led Rama to think that the monkey king had forgotten his promise to search for Sita. Rama was about to send a mortal threat through Lakshmana to the vaanara chief but at the last moment, he moderated the message. The affairs of the state ensured that Emperor Akbar had little time for his son and successor Salim. Misunderstanding between them grew to such a level that Akbar thought his son had had him poisoned. Salim got his father’s best friend and counsellor Abul Fazl killed and even revolted against the Emperor. Only on his deathbed did Akbar forgive him and crowned him as Jahangir. Coordination between different sections is vital as the Panchtantra explains: Although, at meal-time, fate provides a richly loaded plate, No food will reach the mouth, unless the hands cooperate. — Sai R.

Most of us have tried our hand at some kind of décor of our living spaces. We look at home décor magazines, select curtains and try to make our homes or offices look as interesting as we can make it. If you are a creative person with a good sense of colour and style, enjoy decorating your room, and have a keen interest in such work, here is a career that does not require much introduction or a fancy qualification.
Planning an interior requires extensive and meticulous research based on which a design plan is prepared which includes design sketches and layouts using a computer-aided design (CAD) programme and a breakdown of costs. Once a design concept is finalised and approved by the client, the designer has to source out the materials needed and technical contractors (electricians, builders, etc.). Also, if the project is complex and needs some structural work, the designer will have to consult with architects or engineers. 
Q. I am doing BA sociology. Could you please tell me about the prospects in Human Rights?
Q. What exactly is PR and who is cutout for it? What are the prospects of one who has completed a course in PR
Q. I have been working in a Bank in Delhi for the past three years after doing BA (Economics) from Delhi University. I am now getting married and moving to Germany. Since I’m not likely to find a job there, I was thinking if it would be a good idea to do an MBA there. Can you please suggest a few good B-school there?
LONDON: Overweight people miss out on jobs and are overlooked for promotion because employers think they are lazy, according to a British weight-loss
organisation.Those who are very overweight are twice as likely to earn a low salary, four times more likely to suffer bullying about their weight and six times more likely to feel their appearance has caused them to miss out on a promotion, Slimming World said in a statement on its website. 
With more and more entertainment/media/life style/consumer product and services companies opting for social networking platform, net presence has become an important part of young professionals’ life. It is also observed that a number of important societal, digital marketplace-specific and enterprise trends are driving aggressive growth in this market. There is considerable functional adoption as companies deploy social networking solutions to address a wide variety of specific business challenges spanning HR, marketing/sales, engineering, channel management, and customer service functions, among others.
Face-to-face interviews are where decisions are made. During the GDPI the moderator/ interviewer evaluates the candidate’s skills, capabilities and level of experience. You may anticipate some questions and prepare the ideal answers but remember that there are no standard responses. Your replies should be clear and relevant, whatever be the question.
