How & what to talk in a group discussion : Stress Free GD

Group discussions are conducted to evaluate one’s confidence and how well you could present yourself i.e., your opinions in front of a group of people.

Why feel nervous? It doesn’t involve math ;) When you were clever enough to clear your aptitude test, GD is not as scary as it sounds! You will know why when you complete reading this!

GD can be held in two ways, one is debate like GD and the other is just a bunch of people telling their views in a sequence! Both ways GD is simple, as the evaluator is just going to expect a maximum of 4 to 5 minutes of speaking from you!

Now here come the things which you have to keep in mind to get well-liked among the group.

Prepare:

· You have to have considerable amount of knowledge before you could begin. Get to know about the current issues that are going on around the world. You don’t have to memorize the newspapers, just take a hint of it.

· There is a list of general topics which the HR might pull out; the famous ones are… I have listed out a few at the end of this post for your reference, and that could help!

Once you get to the GD, Carefully listen to the topic given. Take time to think about the topic and analyze it. You will definitely be given a couple of minutes to prepare before they start.

Observe:

Extra bonus for the one who initiates? Yes, but not when you are uncertain. What most matters is how well you present your views, and do not set yourself back. Speak clearly and to the point.

You don’t have to fight to win, definitely not in a GD. Show that you can respect others opinions and put forth yours in a genuine way.

You still have no clue about the topic? It happens, happened to me! ;) All you have to do is sit back and observe. Just listen to the points that has been shared, it gives a quick understanding! Now all that you have to do is mix and match! Copy a little, add a little, and bring out the author in you! And it’s done!

You don’t have to agree to every opinion shared, if you find it unacceptable, Say it. But be polite. You could communicate it in such a way that it isn’t offensive. Similarly if you find some points are good enough, try to welcome them!

Always remember in a GD people doesn’t really concentrate on the content of the speech, what matters is how you talk. Try to speak in simple sentences so it is easy to understand. Avoid grammatical mistakes and be audible!

Off the spot light, GD isn’t just a level to get through in an interview. GD can help you fight the stage fear and bring out the confidence in you. Don’t be afraid of the crowd, don’t let them judge you. Put forth the best in you, make them believe you are certain and comfortable enough, even if you aren’t they would know unless and until you tell them so it all depends on the way you present yourself. Be calm and pleasant!

Burst through the stage fright... Applause awaits!
