Why are websites protesting SOPA-PIPA bills?

Posted on January 18, 2012 by MyOrbit-Team| Leave a comment

SOPA and PIPA represent two anti-piracy bills in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate respectively. While these bills may have good intentions, but they are harming the core principles of the Internet: freedom and innovation. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a good explanation of how the bills violate the freedom of speech that serves as the foundation of the Internet.

We suggest US-based visitors to contact your Representative or Senator, and its International customers to donate to organizations like EFF, to ensure that broad opposition to this proposed legislation rings loud and clear. Many prominent Internet companies participating in the protest are listed here: SOPAstrike.com Continue reading →

Insurance and Financial Services Sales Job Interview Questions

Posted on December 26, 2011 by MyOrbit-Team| Leave a comment

Question from Sam: Hello, I have managed to get an interview for an insurance and financial services sales position, and now I want your help! New York Life, Prudential and Metlife want to interview me, but I don’t have financial experience. Can you please tell what kind of questions will be asked?

Answer: Here is a list of basic questions they will are very likely to ask you:

• Have you ever been in sales before? If so, what was your closing ratio?
• What do you know about our company/products/industry?
• What is the most difficult problem you have ever solved?
• Explain a time when you have worked effectively under pressure.
• Explain something that you have attempted and failed. What did you do next?
• How do you feel that your personal or academic background fits with the position that you are seeking?
• What do you believe will be the biggest challenges of this position?

The demand-supply situation for job is highly favorable towards the employers, i.e., htere are more candidates than jobs. Try to share examples from your past work, and if possible, ask the intervieweers to call your previous managers, or references on the phone. Positive references help a lot in all kinds of job interviews, from entry level jobs to the senior  executives, and company board positions.

All the best!

23 Nov, 2010: Korea tension: Commodities are the thing to invest in, says Jim Rogers

In an interview with ET Now, Jim Rogers, Chairman, Rogers Holding, talks about the correction in global markets besides giving his views on commodities and India. Excerpts:

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/thumb.cms?msid=6976432&width=300&resizemode=4Q1: Global markets are correcting and everyone is saying it is because of Korea. Would you endorse that thought?

First of all, global markets should be correcting about this time because they have been pretty strong recently and there is always some reason to correct. This time, it looks like it might be Korea. Whenever you have threat of war, usually everything goes down at first, then you have to figure out what to invest in after the initial collapse. In my view, the thing to invest in is commodities because if there is going to be war, it is always good for commodities and if there is no war, then commodities will rally like everything else.
