The differences between ‘have’ and ‘have got’ can be confusing for beginners. Here is a guide the two forms.

Remember these important points:

• ‘Have’ and ‘Have got’ are used for possession.Example: Jack has got a beautiful house. OR Jack has a beautiful house.
• Only ‘have’ is used when talking about actions.Example: I usually have breakfast at 8 o’clock. NOT I usually have got breakfast at 8 o’clock.
• The question form for ‘have’ follows regular present simple:Example: Do you have a fast car? NOT Have you a fast car?
• ‘Have’ and ‘Have got’ are only used in the present simple.

• Use ‘have’ for the past simple or future forms.Example: She had a copy of that book.
• There is no contracted form for ‘Have’ in the positive form. The contracted form is used for ‘have got’Example: I have a red bicycle. OR I’ve got a red bicycle. NOT I’ve a red bicycle.

Here is a grammar chart showing the construction of the two forms:

Positive I, You, We, They HAVE GOT
Subject + have + got + objects

After quite a long time i didnot post any new article/learning and so, So now i come out with the Killer question for those who asked by the interviewer..Don’t be so afraid to tell the true..Remember, everything you said it reflect on what they going to judge YOU

“Why haven’t you received any offers so far?”
“What offers have you received so far?”

This is another type of question that most interviewers will not ask. But just in case, I’ll provide an example. For the question asking what offers have you received so far, you can simply list the ones you have received without details. For example, “I received offers from Boeing and InfoSpace.” But if they ask you why haven’t you received any offers, then your answer will depend on if you have an offer or not. If you do, then you can politely correct them by saying, “Actually, I received an offer from Intel. But I didn’t respond with my answer yet because this company is my first choice.” If you do not have any offers, then you can say something like this example.

“I just started interviewing this past week, so it’s a little too early to tell.”

“I recently started looking for a job, but I’m hoping that I’ll receive offers soon.”

“I received one offer from a smaller company, but I want to see what else is out there. I like what this company has to offer so I’m hoping everything turns out well today.”

“I’ve only interviewed with two other companies so far and I have a second interview with one of them. It’s too early to tell if I’ll be receiving any offers right now, but I’m confident that I will get a couple.”

This answer is suggesting that you are actively interviewing. Mentioning a second interview with another company also shows that you passed the first interview stage. You are not admitting to any fault by not receiving any offers, but simply saying it is too early because you haven’t been searching for a job that long.

If you have been looking for a job for a long time, then you will not be able to use an answer like I just showed. Instead, you might have to be honest and try to put the blame somewhere else. More likely you will not receive this answer, but just in case, here is one more example. This example admits directly to not receiving any offers but shows diligence and shows that this person doesn’t give up.

“Most of the jobs I have been applying for require more experience than I have. Also, because the job market is rough right now the competition has been pretty tough. But I plan on self studying continually and I know through my diligence that I will get a job soon.”

Hey Guys…….

It took me almost one month to get in place. What to do??i have no access to the net since i changed my jobs @Penang..Really2 tied up with the workload and most of my times at XXXXX…(will explain it later).

Hope this time I’ll continue my belajarbersamasaya blog like before ( Wish too )..For those comments, i really appreciate your contribution and will reply it soon.

Thanks alot..

Let continue….

4. “Do you manage your time well?”
“In what ways do you manage your time well?”

The first question is a little easier. The second question is more difficult because it requires an example. I’m going to give an example for the second question and you should be able to use it for the first question as well.

Short Answer
“I know I manage my time well because I’m never late to work, and I’ve never missed a deadline.”

“I’m good at managing my time. I stay busy both at home and at work and being able to manage my time is necessary for me to do everything that I want to do.”

“I manage my time well by planning out what I have to do for the whole week. It keeps me on track and evens helps me to be more efficient.”

Long Answer

“Managing my time is one of my strong traits. I prioritize my tasks and this allows me to stay ahead of schedule. Each day I manage my time so I can achieve more than I set out to do. So managing my time in a goal oriented way is what I feel very comfortable doing.”

5. “Do you work well under pressure?”

In most cases, the best answer to this question is answering yes. Working well under pressure is a good trait to have. However, I think if you answer that you work the same with pressure and without pressure, the interviewer will be more impressed. However, you will need to explain in words why this is better. Here are some of my answers.

Short Answers

“I work well under pressure because I use the pressure to help me work more efficiently.”

“I enjoy working under pressure because I believe it helps me grow. In my previous experience, I always worked well during deadlines, and I always learned how to work more efficiently afterwards.”

“I work well under pressure because I don’t panic. I maintain self control and work as efficiently as possible. In all my experiences, I did well and I always enjoyed the experience.”

“During times of pressure, I try to prioritize and plan as much as I can. After I’m organized, I really just put my head down and work hard in a smart way. I don’t let the pressure affect me. So I believe I work well under pressure.”

Long Answers

“To tell you the truth, I think I work the same if there’s pressure or if there’s no pressure. I try and take out negative emotional factors and work hard regardless of down time or busy time. I always prioritize and organize my work, and from there, work efficiently. If the situation involved pressure due to a lack of time, then the only difference in my work would be the extra time I would need to put in to meet the deadline on time. Since I believe my normal work is great work, then I suppose I work well under pressure.”

I like this answer because it is different than the standard answer. If you are not comfortable with this answer, then you can use the next one.

“I have a couple of friends who hate working under pressure. I don’t know if it’s odd, but I really enjoy working under pressure. I use the feelings of pressure as a tool to motivate me to work harder and more efficiently. In my last job, I remember we had a project to complete in 4 days where it usually took 10 days. There was a lot of panic by some team members, but I ensured everyone that if we concentrate on the task and work real hard, we can complete the project. It took a lot of overtime, and the last day we were in the office until two AM, but we managed to finish. It was hard work, but I really enjoyed that experience.”

You might not have experienced this example before, but what is preventing you from making something up? To tell you the truth, I never experienced it before either. There are some things you shouldn’t lie about because they can find out about it such as your GPA or what school you attended, but a story such as the one I included above cannot be verified by the interviewer. The only thing you have to be careful about is being able to answer follow up questions.
6.“How do you make important decisions?”

There are many ways to answer this question, and if you have a reasonable method of making decisions, it will probably be sufficient. One answer I thought of included not being afraid of asking your manager. You can follow up by saying even the best needs mentoring, and you always want to improve. So basically, this could work as an answer, but depending on the job, you might have a better shot with an answer like my example.

Short Answers

“I make important decisions by examining all the details and then weighing the pro’s and con’s for each decision.”

“I gather all the information I can find and based on the information, I’ll come to the best decision I can. If I know a coworker was in a similar situation, I wouldn’t hesitate to find out the results to make sure my decision is the best one.”

“I believe all decisions should be made by having all the information. If you are missing an important detail, it’s easy to make a bad decision. So I make important decisions by having all of the information.”

“Important decisions are made by knowledge through information and wisdom through experience. I’ll gather all the information I can find and then apply my experience while analyzing the information. With this combination, I’m confident I’ll make the correct important decisions.”

Long Answer

“I think all decisions are important, and having as much information about the decision is one of the most important aspects. After examining all the facts, I would think about the outcome and consequences of each action and after weighing the pro’s and con’s, I would come to the best decision possible. However, I’m aware that some decisions are not as black and white. In this situation, I would rely on my experience, or even work with my team members to come up with the best decision.”

This is a decent answer, but I think you might be able to think of a better one. Feel free to be creative with your answers because those are the answers the interviewer will remember the most.

That’s it for the day!!! Anyways, those who not really understand what i’m trying to teach you here is please COPY and PASTE the article which you not understand HERE

Today, i’m going to share with you on how to deal with interviewer(of course using English as a language)!!. Most of people who not really expert and master speaking english will think, they will ruine their life if attend the interview..meaning No english (speaking skill) No jobs.

But tell you the truth, if you practice alots than you’ll get it just like eating NUTS…Or maybe for the first step..try to memorize and frequently practice within yourself (talk alone)

Here we go …
The Question is
1. “Tell me a little about yourself.”

You should take this opportunity to show your communication skills by speaking clearly and concisely in an organized manner. Because there is no right or wrong answer for this question, it is important to appear friendly.

Short Answers

“I attended MIT where I majored in Electrical Engineering. My hobbies include basketball, reading novels, and hiking.”

“I grew up in Korea and studied accounting. I worked at an accounting firm for two years and I enjoy bicycling and jogging.”

“I’m an easy going person that works well with everyone. I enjoy being around different types of people and I like to always challenge myself to improve at everything I do.”

“I’m a hard worker and I like to take on a variety of challenges. I like pets, and in my spare time, I like to relax and read the newspaper.”

“I’ve always liked being balanced. When I work, I want to work hard. And outside of work, I like to engage in my personal activities such as golfing and fishing.”

Long Answer

“I went to the University of Washington and majored in English Literature. I went to graduate school because I really enjoyed learning. Afterwards, I started my career at Boeing as a web content editor. I’ve been there for 3 years now. Although my emphasis is in writing, I like numbers. I think solving logic problems and riddles are quite fun. I also enjoy jogging, reading, and watching movies.”

There is no right or wrong answer for this question. Most important thing you should remember is how you deliver the message. The example above shows a short answer telling a little bit about the person. The answer went from education to career, and then to personal interests all in a smooth flow.

2. “What are your strengths?”

This is a popular interview question. They want to know what you think of yourself. Although this is a general question, there is a wrong and right answer. The wrong answer is a generic answer saying you are organized and friendly. Although it will not hurt you during the interview, it will certainly not help you either. Answer this question based on the type of job you are applying for.

Short Answers

“I believe my strongest trait is my attention to detail. This trait has helped me tremendously in this field of work.”

“I’ve always been a great team player. I’m good at keeping a team together and producing quality work in a team environment.”

“After having worked for a couple of years, I realized my strength is accomplishing a large amount of work within a short period of time. I get things done on time and my manager always appreciated it.”

“My strongest trait is in customer service. I listen and pay close attention to my customer’s needs and I make sure they are more than satisfied.”

Long Answers

Let’s say I am interviewing for a management position. You should mention traits that are important for managers.

“A couple strengths I have are planning and execution, and working with people. I’ve always been very good at planning and detailing all the steps. Even in college, I would spend time organizing my week and planning a strategy to tackle each class or assignment. Executing a plan has always come easy for me as well. I believe it’s due to proper planning. I also work with people very well in a way where I use the strengths of each individual in a team to produce the best results. Because of my easy going personality, I’ve been told by my directs that it’s easy to approach me.”

If you are applying for an accounting position, you should mention strong traits an accountant should have and claim them to be yours.

“I’m very detail oriented, good at managing time, and very honest. I always incorporate managing time and being detailed together. By nature I’ve been detail oriented, and that resulted in taking too much time on a particular task. After incorporating time management into the mix, I found that my work and efficiency increased dramatically. I plan better and produce higher quality work in a time constraint environment. Finally, I’m a very honest person. When I was working as a valet attendant during college, a lady gave me a twenty dollar bill to pay for the three dollar fee. She almost drove off the lot, but I stopped her and said here is your change. My co-workers said I should have considered the change as tip, but I know what I did was honest and right. You can fool other people, but you can’t fool yourself. That’s what I believe.”

The second example can seem a little wordy. But the power of an example is greater than any great words you can string together. Everyone can claim they are honest, but with an example, it is much more believable.

3. “What do you want to be doing five years from now?”
“Where do you see yourself in five years?”

This is a similar question to the short term question, but you should answer it a little differently. Here are some examples.

Short Answers
“In five years, I see myself as a valued employee of a company. I want to be an expert at my position and start training to be a manager.”

“In five years, I want to be a senior analyst. I want my expertise to directly impact the company in a positive way.”

“My goal is to become a lead in five years. Although not everyone gets promoted to this level, I believe I can achieve this goal through hard work.”

“Although I really enjoy working hands on as a mechanical engineer, I want to eventually become a manager. I want to continue gaining experience, and after learning many different aspects, I see myself in management.”

Long Answers

“Five years from now, I would like to see myself in a management position. I’m going to be learning and gaining practical experience until then, but eventually, I want to become a marketing manager. I know there are a lot of things to learn, but I’m going to be working hard for the next five years. I believe opportunities come to great workers and I’m going to try to be one of them.”

“Five years from now, I want to be a senior sales manager. I’m currently training to become a manager, and if I continue to work hard, I feel I’ll have a management position soon. After gaining several years of experience as a sales manager, I want to be in a position where I can train and provide my expertise to newer sales managers.”

Both answers display characteristics of working hard. The second example also mentions that he or she wants to train newer managers. This is a good answer because it targets one good trait about upper management… the ability to train managers.

Of course if you familiar with this answer, i’m sure you’ll have no Trouble to convince the interviewer that you’re good enough..
Last but not least..If you guys need help on how to explain this..that..any questions??then PLease do ask me…

Thanks

What ever company you work for, you will have a boss or a manager. If you are a manager, you will have directs reporting to you. And in most cases, you will have to work with co-workers. This lesson will cover the English you need to know to speak to co-workers. I will also have a lesson on talking to the manager and subordinates.

When you talk with a co-worker, most of it is small talk. You can talk about your background, what school you attended, your major, and your previous work experience. So studying the English lessons along side the business section will help you for your daily English needs. However, I’ll have some sentences you can use when you are talking with a co-worker.

If you miss a meeting, then you will need to ask a co-worker what happened during the meeting.

“I missed the meeting. Can you fill me in?”
“I had a doctor’s appointment so I missed the meeting. What happened?”
“I couldn’t make it to the meeting today. Anything interesting I should know about?”
“I missed the meeting. Was there anything new?”

Another time you talk with a co-worker is if the boss is mad or you don’t like the boss. But whenever you talk about bad things with co-workers, make sure you are talking to a friend. If that person is not a friend, then they might tell your manager what you said.

“Matt looks pretty upset right now. Do you know what’s going on?”
“Did something happen recently? Matt looks pissed off.”
“I think Matt is mad about something. Do you know what it could be?”

Or if the manager only treats you bad, then you can ask your co-worker/friend if the manager treats them differently or the same.

“Matt talks to me like he is mad all the time. Does he do that to you?”
“Does Matt talk to you like he is upset? Or is it just me?”
“It’s not you at all. He talks to me that way too.”

“Matt is way too moody.”
“If he knew what he was doing, we wouldn’t be in this mess.”

“What is wrong with Matt these days?”
“He is having one of those days again. I think his manager just gave him a hard time.”

“What do you think about our manager?”
“He gets too mad easily and he doesn’t really help us out that much. What do you think?”

Talking to the employees of the company you are visiting is very different than talking to employees. Basically, you have to be polite and formal when dealing with them.

“Hi Yusoof, I’m Ahmed from ABC Consulting. It’s nice to meet you.”
During this stage, you might be engaged in small talk such as how your flight was or how the weather is over in your city, but if not, then you can get straight to work. You might need to know where you will be working. Only ask this if they never tell you. But chances are, they will let you know before you ask.

“Where will I be working this week?”
“Where is your office located?”
“Is your office relatively close to where I will be working?”

You might need to ask who you will be working with. But again, don’t ask this too early, you should give them a chance to answer.

“Who will I be working with this week?”

These previous questions should only be used in rare cases the other person doesn’t tell you. The next couple of sentences are more likely.

“Who should I contact if I have a question regarding inaccurate data?”
“Who should I contact if I have a question with this type of problem?”

“I am going to be calling my manager frequently with critical updates. What phone should I use?”

“How long does it take to get to the airport from here?”
“How bad is the traffic around this time to the airport?”

“Where is the closest place to eat around here?”
“Is there a fast food restaurant near by?”

“Does this building have a cafeteria?”
“Do you have a cafeteria close by?”

Thanks God, I have some time to blog/write and share with you guys. Maybe these days, we don't have mood or maybe too moody.:( 

 I know some of you maybe already perfect about this Tense ( Future ). Let ride dude with me!!!

 Simple Future Tense

Of course it to simple, just add Will and it called future

Example : I will sing ( it to simple, isn't it? )
need some more…

OK DONE …………………………………………………………………

 Future Continuos Tense

How do we use this?

The future continuous tense expresses action at a particular moment in the future. The action will start before that moment but it will not have finished at that moment. For example, tomorrow I will start work at 2pm and stop work at 6pm:
(ia berlaku sekejap jer lagi di masa hadapan. action tu bermula tapi masih tak siap pada masa tuh)hish susahnyer nak translate

Example

When we use the future continuous tense, our listener usually knows or understands what time we are talking about. Look at these examples:

• I will be playing tennis at 10am tomorrow.
• They won't be watching TV at 9pm tonight.
• What will you be doing at 10pm tonight?
• What will you be doing when I arrive?
• She will not be sleeping when you telephone her.
• We 'll be having dinner when the film starts.
• Take your umbrella. It will be raining when you return.

A LOGICAL SOLUTION.

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-*-*-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far a** kissing will take you.

A-*-*-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bulls**t and A** Kissing that will put you over the top.
