101 ways to get rejected...

We spoke to one of our university friend last week and were sharing our experiences on the progress of the ongoing job hunt. His first reaction to it was "I can write a book titled 101 ways to get rejected in job applications". We both burst out laughing listening to the comic way of expressing his frustration of not landing up on the right job opportunity. We all are trying our level best to seek the most suited position for our profiles and we wish to get there soon!

An interesting case study

Today's written exam structure was completely different than all the exams that I have attempted till date. We were given a case study on which we had to apply the learnt theoretical concepts and answer three questions with a weightage of 20 marks each. I found the case study very different and innovative and thought of sharing it here. It was based on toy manufacturer called ToyCo which specialised in manufacturing toys like barbies and teddy bears. The differenting factor from the regular toys were:

1. There will be a sensor fitted inside the barbies that will gauge the kid's temperature, pulse and movements and send notifications to parents if any parameters drastically fluctuate.

2. The teddy bear will be an interactive toy supporting multiple language packs that will teach kids to talk and will correct any grammatical and pronunciation errors. 

I really loved this idea and appreciated the creative thought that was applied in writing the case study. Just makes me think how technological advancement is being reflected in various segments of product design and development.

The last paper

Finally I have reached the end of my masters with the last paper to go for tomorrow. Just hoping that all goes fine and I manage to get a good score for this subject. Wish me luck!
