1. Tell me about yourself:
The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared
in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items
unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that
relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up
to the present.

2. Why did you leave your last job?
Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with
management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do,
you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason
such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.

3. What experience do you have in this field?
Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have
specific experience, get as close as you can.

4. Do you consider yourself successful?
You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you have
set goals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others.

5. What do co-workers say about you?
Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific statement or a
paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith Company, always said I was the
hardest workers she had ever known. It is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview
herself.

6. What do you know about this organization?
This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview.
Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and
who are the major players?

7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can
be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.

8. Are you applying for other jobs?
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what
you can do for this organization. Anything else is a distraction.


9. Why do you want to work for this organization?

This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the research you have done
on the organization. Sincerity is extremely important here and will easily be sensed. Relate
it to your long-term career goals.

10. Do you know anyone who works for us?
Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your answer
even though they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if
they are well thought of.

11. What kind of salary do you need?
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do
not answer it. Instead, say something like, That's a tough question. Can you tell me the
range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not,
say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.

12. Are you a team player?
You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready. Specifics that show you
often perform for the good of the team rather than for yourself are good evidence of your
team attitude. Do not brag, just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.

13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?
Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I'd like it to be a long time. Or
As long as we both feel I'm doing a good job.

14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?
This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you like to fire people. At the
same time, you will do it when it is the right thing to do. When it comes to the organization
versus the individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the organization.
Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in force.

15. What is your philosophy towards work?
The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong
feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That's the type of answer that works best here. Short
and positive, showing a benefit to the organization.

16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?
Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type of work you prefer. Do
not say yes if you do not mean it.

17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?
If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying negative things
about the people or organization involved.

18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization
You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best points
as they relate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought to this
relationship.

19. Why should we hire you?
Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other
candidates to make a comparison.


20. Tell me about a suggestion you have made
Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted and was then
considered successful. One related to the type of work applied for is a real plus.

21. What irritates you about co-workers?
This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with anything that irritates you.
A short statement that you seem to get along with folks is great.

22. What is your greatest strength?
Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples:
Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability to work under pressure,
Your ability to focus on projects, Your professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your
positive attitude .

23. Tell me about your dream job.
Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are contending for is
it, you strain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be
dissatisfied with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something like: A
job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and can't wait to get to work.

24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?
Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest


25. What is more important to you: the money or the work?
Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is no better answer.

The Tiles framework provides a templating mechanism that allows you to separate the responsibilities of layout from those of content. As with the templates described earlier in this chapter, you have the ability to establish a layout and dynamically insert the contents of your pages into that layout at runtime. This is a powerful mechanism if you need to customize your site based on such things as internationalization, user preferences, or just the look-and-feel changes that occur in every web application sooner or later. The Tiles framework provides the following features:
· Template capabilities
· Dynamic page construction and loading
· Screen definitions
· Support for tile and layout reuse
· Support for internationalization
· Support for multiple channels


STEPS TO CREATE YOUR FIRST TILES EXAMPLE
step1: create a new project in ecclipse frame work call
the project name as "tiles2"
step2:add struts capabilities into your new project "tiles2" by
right clicking on it .
step3:open the web-inf folder of your project and double clik
on struts-config.xml file
step4: view the source code of your struts-config.xml and
add the tiles-plugin codes below the application resources.properties
in the struts-config.xml (plu in code is given below)

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">

<set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />

</plug-in>
step5:create new xml called "tiles-defs.xml" in webroot folder
step 6: open tiles-defs.xml and define the tiles definition.the code
in tiles-defs.xml is given below


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>lt;!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN" "tiles-config_1_1.dtd">

<tiles-definitions>

<definition name="hello" path="/sitelayout.jsp">

<put name="header" value="/WEB-INF/header.jsp"></put>

<put name="navigation" value="/WEB-INF/navi.jsp"></put>

<put name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/footer.jsp"></put>

</definition>

<definition name="second" extends="hello>

<put name="body" value="/login.jsp"></put>

</definition>

</tiles-definitions>
step7: create jsp pages for our application
create a jsp called header.jsp in web-inf
create a jsp called navigation.jsp in web-inf
create a jsp called footer.jsp in web-inf
step8:create a jsp for defining our layout.named sitelayout.jsp, login.jsp(which is
used as body page) in webroot


the code is given below sitelayout.jsp







step9:create a jsp called index.jsp in webroot




write the logic tag inside the body tag of index.jsp





<logic:forward name="me.do"/>
step10:create a new action called "login" and give forwards to it
forwardname="welcome" and path="second"
open loginAction it contains the below code:



package com.yourcompany.struts.action;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import com.yourcompany.struts.form.LoginForm;
/**
* MyEclipse Struts
* Creation date: 05-21-2008
*
* XDoclet definition:
* @struts.action path="/login" name="loginForm" input="/form/login.jsp" scope="request" validate="true"
* @struts.action-forward name="welcome" path="hello"
*/
public class LoginAction extends Action {
/*
* Generated Methods
*/
/**
* Method execute
* @param mapping
* @param form
* @param request
* @param response
* @return ActionForward
*/
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
LoginForm loginForm = (LoginForm) form;// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return mapping.findForward("welcome");
}
}

step10:create new global forward give its name as "me.do" and path"/login.do"



the worksheet is look like this(design mode of struts-config.xml)
step11: now your project is ready to run. deploy your project into your tomcat5.5 server


step12:start your server and open the browser(internet explorer) type the url in address


bar http://localhost:8080/tiles2/


then you can see the output of your tiles project.it is look like below
