Many companies and institutes are making group discussion as the first criteria for
screening the candidates for face-to-face interviews. And there is reason too for giving huge
importance for Group Discussion. First thing Group Discussion is used for mass elimination!
And second thing group discussion selection criteria’s are based on actual company
requirements.
Communication and Group Discussion skill are two relevant soft skills that are must for software
testers.
Why group discussion should be the first criteria for selecting software testers?
Software tester requires communication with different people like team members, managers and
customers. So interpersonal skill is very important for tester.
Yesterday one of our readers mailed me about her problem. She is very good at work but when it
comes to taking credit for her work, someone else is taking the credit.
Why this is happening? She is lagging in interpersonal skills. Lagging in communication. She
might be proficient in many skills, but what if she isn’t able to communicate her thoughts in front
of her seniors or evaluators? Simply, she will lose the credits of her own work!
Making a good impression while speaking in meetings or interviews is the basic skill every
professional should have. Let’s see how you can make this impression.
4) Speak clearly:
Speak politely and clearly. Use simple and understandable words while speaking. Don’t be too
aggressive if you are disagreeing with someone. Express your feelings calmly and politely.
6) Positive attitude:
Be confident. Do not try to dominate anyone. Keep positive body language. Show interest in
discussion.
7) Speak sensibly:
Do not speak just to increase your speaking time. Don’t worry even if you speak less. Your
thoughts should be sensible and relevant instead of irrelevant speech.
