Dear Buzz!
I was wondering how sure you are that the same questions will be asked for interview (and you have posted this across so many forums)
Pls search on citehr first (not just the two questions what you have posted - but just glance thru the material in this forum).
You are a fresher - so the interviewer will not expect anwers that would be managed by experienced people. So - first pls see in your class notes, what are the advantages these would provide and the disadvantages in implementing it. Rather than pointing which is better, try seeing the limitations for each.
BSC - is really vast..
They might task you on what is performance mgmnt systems
And as far as training and recruitment costs are considered - these are expenses that are made for acquiring and retaining talent.
recruitment costs: Includes the expenses on searching for the candidate (In posting ad , job board, or consultants, their interview travel allowance, interviewer travel exo if any...) In a nutshell - the cost involved in hiring the right talent.
Training cost : The expense involved in training for new skills, or product , software.
It can also cover a wider area like - inhouse trainer cost, time spent - cost, etc.
I saw in a different forum you have mentioned that you are seeing various versions of calculating the costs - Suggest you to just see one, understand the basic concept and be confident during the interview. Dont put everything in your head and be confused.
I was also overly "prepared" for my first interview and was - just like how you are now- pulling out all jargons and trying to make sure I know even the most difficult thing... did not work out in my first interview.. the question that GUY asked me was "tell me how to calculate wages, and explain about how to open a Provident fund...'
I was blinking, he embarrased me - but today I feel like seeing that man and giving him a piece of mind for asking a fresher that type of question! (so if upo come across someone simliar like this person - pls know that he is not worth interviewing you)
Second one was successful - I was least prepared. I was asked abt employee motivation.
Ans was : Simple - you pay him what he wants, you let him know that he is doing good, if he deviates you must be smart enough to point that out, and he should always think that he is working under the best boss he could ever have...all this to be professionally managed!
The reason why I told u so much was - an interview is not that difficult as u think. You just need to be smart, and quick with your answers and most importantly have a good presence of mind - too much analysis can kill you!
Now get some good sleep! Good Nite!
