This book explains the reasons for conducting Group Discussion and how it discovers leadership and personality traits of a person. Through various chapters, it takes the reader straight into the what, how, why, do's & don'ts and body posture besides the knowledge of the topic given by the Group Testing officer required to succeed at the Group Discussion. Take hold of the following nuances: 1. Understanding the topic When the topic is given, understand the topic carefully. If it is not clear initially or you have some doubt regarding the topic, ask immediately. 2. Knowledge about the topic When you are talking on the topic, choose your points in a manner that they convey the depth of knowledge that you possess. Citing relevant examples will also help to a great extent. Superficial talk is a strict nono. 3. Precise and sharp thoughts As you are gathering thoughts, try to stick to precise and concise thoughts. In a Group Discussion, it is always quality over quantity. Let your views be relevant and to the point. 4. Communicating your views To develop communication skills, you can choose a topic, stand before the mirror and start talking about it. As you are talking, anticipate few questions from an imaginary audience and try replying them. This will help you come across as a confident person during the GD. 5. Taking the initiative If you can, try to initiate the Group Discussion. By taking the initiative, you will be giving a structure to the discussion and defining the manner in which the discussion will progress. This will exhibit your quality as a person who can facilitate actions by breaking the ice. Act wisely and get selected!

From the book cover:

Time is one of our most precious commodities-especially to a student completing a Master's or PhD and having to type their own thesis or dissertation, as most 21st century students now do. What would you do with an extra month to work on your dissertation? If you had to assign a financial value to a month, what would that be? That is the bold claim of this book-that typical students with a standard knowledge of Microsoft Word completing a full PhD dissertation who know and use the information provided in this book might be able to submit their dissertation approximately a month earlier (or have an extra month's worth of time to focus on their research work). This claim is made on the basis of the author's extensive experience in assisting students with problems encountered in the typing of their dissertations and teaching these principles to postgraduate students in a focused Microsoft Word training course. But it gets better. The techniques presented in this book do not save time by taking shortcuts that impinge on the quality of the final product. In fact, the focus of these techniques is how to improve the quality of the submitted dissertation by avoiding the mistakes students commonly make as a result of their lack of knowledge about the features offered by Microsoft Word. In other words, better quality work is obtained by employing techniques that simultaneously allow students to work faster. So what will you do with your month?
