Today you can impress your all selectors, if you do this

I will discuss only three things regarding today’s events which no body realises but these play very important role in the selection:

1. Completion of Board Questionnaires /Forms

· Before going to ISSB, Take out photocopy of forms which you have submitted at selection centre and go through all details and memorize these.

· There should be no difference between the information you have submitted at selection centre and information you will fill in the forms here at ISSB.

· Use a good ball point or pen.

· Use your best neat neat clean handwriting.

· Keep a pen like “whitener” with u. use it only if permitted by the officer.

· Read instructions carefully. Some details you will be required to fill in Capital Letters (A, B, C) and some in small letters (a, b, c). Be very careful and keep your mind present and do as told.

· Don’t go ahead; there will be an officer who will guide u. Preferably, there should be no cutting. If forced to cut, just draw a simple line over what you have written wrong. It should remain clearly readable. Don’t draw many lines in trying to hide what so ever you have written. It is taken negative.

· Again I remind you about capital and small letters.

· Use your best hand writing to fill the forms, reminder · Don’t use yourown abbreviations. Except like Mr. Mrs. Dr. etc which are commonly understood.

· Your writing should be clearly readable.

· You must be able to work out your own age, father's age and mother's age from a given date. If father and / or mother has expired then their age at the time of their death and also your age at their death time, at the time of any one of parents death. It becomes difficult to work out so many ages at that time so learn it and and calculate before hand based on the date when you are reporting at ISSB.

· If your date of birth is 3-12-1993 then your age on 1-08-2015 will be calculated as:

1-08- 2015 (Reporting Date at ISSB)

3-12- 1995 (Your date of birth)

29-07- 19 (Eighteen years, seven months and 29 days)

· I know above calculation is difficult. Go like this: Start from left, 1 minus 3, not possible. Now see this month is 08 (August) and last month was 07 (July), which has 31 days. Now add days of July ie 1+31=32. It has become 32 - 3 = 29 days. Now in the month row 08 will change to 07 as you have moved one month to left. Now again you cannot subtract 12 from 07. So move 12 month of an year to left it will become 07+12=19 Now 19 - 12 = 07 months. In the year column 2015 will change to 2014 because you have moved one year to left. So 2014 - 1995 = 19 years. Your age is 29 - 07- 18 (Eighteen years, seven months and 28 days). Write it like 19 years, 7 Months and 29 Days.

· How much will be your father's age on 1 - 08 - 2015, if he was born on 1-1-1957?

· Give complete details, no short cuts and abbreviations.

· Ensure to keep forms neat and clean.

· After filling first form, you will be required to fill 2 or 3 more copies of similar form.

· Keep the filled form in front while filling other forms.

· Your forms will make your first impression on your selectors, as each copy filled by you will go to each selector, President, GTO and Psychologist.

· Good form filing leaves a very good impression on your interviewing officer, GTO and Psych. It pays you in the end.

· Maximum or many questions in your interview will be based on details which you have written in these forms. Details of such questions are given in interview part of the E-Book in last chapter.

2. Photograph: You will be photographed on this day. It should be better than you actual outlook.

· Suggested dress: Pent, light colour plain shirt and neck tie in summers and put on a blazer/coat in winters as well. A Lounge Suit with necktie is better.

· Face expression: Should be forceful, pleasing and normal. No undue stress on face. To practice take number of photographs of yourself with mobile digital camera, and note the impression which suits you the best.

· Hair cut: Avoid long or very short hairs. Any style which suits your personality should be the best.

· Nails: Hand nails must be cut beared properly shaved or neatly trimmed.

4. Important. At the end of form filling you will be asked to write about “most unforgettable incidence of my life” or

· Most Thrilling Moment of My Life.

· Most un-forgettable Incidence of my Life.

· My favourite living personality.

· My strong and weak points.

· Unforgettable dream.

· What my friends think about me.

· Happiest moment of my life (now a days) · Most charming part of my life.

· My greatest happiness.

· Write about yourself: · How a friend thinks about you?

· How an opponent thinks about you?

U MUST BE PREPARED FOR IT AND TRY THAT A NORMAL INCIDENCE FROM DAY TO DAY LIFE SHOULD BE WRITTEN. SOME CANDIDATES WRITE INCIDENCE WHICH ARE DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE. MUST NOT DO IT. IN THIS TRY TO INDICATE YOUR QUALITIES. DON’T MIND IF IT IS A NORMAL STORY. TRY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS

YOU MUST PREPARE IT BEFORE GOING TO ISSB

INCIDENCE WRITTEN BY A SELECTED CANDIDATE

In January this year our family consisting of my self, my father, mother and sister were moving from Sargodha to Rawalpindi on our Alto car. Once we were at the Motor Way, the temperature of the car engine shot up. My father took it to workshop at the Motor Way Rest Area. The mechanics checked it and found no fault. We started moving slowly stopping after about every 10-15 KMs and pouring water over the radiator. But it became difficult once we were climbing heights near Kallar Kahar, because now there was no water with us. We were standing on the roadside waiting for the car to cool down. Suddenly a car stopped and a young boy came out, asked about the problem. Then he went back, brought a can of water and also few eatables. I cannot forget his gesture which provided a great relief to us. A Police Van also reached and slowly we reached our destination. We still remember the gentleman.

Some Ideas

Try to write something real which has actually happened and believable. Remain ready for questions on that. Never write an unbelievable incidence even if it has happened to you in real life.

Now

Now see in he above mentioned story complete details are given. That is time (January this year), places (Motor Way, Rest Area, Workshop, Kallar Kahar), people (Father, mother, sister etc), Technical problem, radiator, water pouring. Now the candidate may or may not be asked any question. Still he should remain prepared for following questions:

·Can you drive a car?

·Do you the license?

·How pouring water on radiator cools down the engine?

·How do you know the things about the car engine?

Today again your weight will be measured. So it should not be more than which you had at selection centre. Increased weight will give an indication that you have not worked hard for ISSB
