A step Back, Two Forward

What could drive a person to consider a lower position?Here are some common instances:
Does it ever make sense to take a step down at the career ladder?If you can get past that nagging, inborn fear that "going lower" can be a sign of downward career mobility, the answer is 'yes'. Taking a lesser position can help move your career forward if the job fits into a larger long-life plan.
NO CHOICEEconomic conditions, your financial situation and lack of other alternatives may necessitate taking the best available option -- even if its a step down. There's no shame in this, but be honest about how you got into this situation in the first place. I see too many people making this kind of career decision out of what was an avoidable necessity. They were forced to take a lower level job, because they didn't take charge of their career. Do what you have to do but learn from it.
CHANGE PLANSThis is a completely valid reason to take a lower position, but remember, changing profession doesn’t automatically mean you start at the bottom. Look for transferable skills or specialised knowledge that could allow you to slide something above an entry level role. Also, changing industries is not the same as changing professions. When you change industries and not functions, target a lateral position but not a lower one. For example a finance manager in a software company can occupy the same post in a biotech company.
NEW HORIZONA lower position in a different department can provide new experiences and enrich your career. But as with any career decision, think about the fit, your ability to be successful and hoe such a move figures into your larger career plan

SKILL THRILL Imagine climbing a mountain and reaching a point where the route is blocked and requires climbing skill beyond your ability to pass it. You can give up or make a tactical decision to go back down a bit to look for another route up. Taking the right lower position can be a smart tactical move if you believe you can be successful in the lower role and know there's a defined path on which you can continue your ascent.

PERFECT PITCH Once you've determined why taking a step down makes sense, prepare to sell yourself hard. You'll be up against more junior candidates, so, you'll need to overcome the hiring manager's perception that you are overqualified and will get bored and leave. To convince him otherwise, express a positive, compelling reason you want the job. For example: "I want to build a career in customer service. This job would allow me to apply what I know already and also develop best-practice skills starting from the operating level, which would help serve your customers better."

POSITIVE VIBES Avoid sending a negative message. In all your communications, demonstrate you:

* Possess the energy and enthusiasm to do the job and the flexibility, ability and willingness to learn quickly.

* Will bring more value to the role based on your work experience rather than an untested junior candidate.

* Will be content to do the job you are hired for and won't be making waves three months after you start about moving up.

* Understand promotions will be based on merit.

Viruses in Pen Drives

With nset of the computer revolution, pen drives have been an integral part in our lives.
they are small,cheap and handy to use, but they also pose a great threat to your computer security. They are very notorious in transferring dangerous viruses and worms to computers
MntDrCore.exe, Ravon.exe, are the most common pen drive viruses. Along with these one can find Autorun.inf and autorun.ini in the pen drive. Autorun.inf and autorun.ini direct the pen drive to the viruses, wreaking havoc on the system. Some viruses like Ravmon and Heap41a worm cannot even be detected by some antivirus software and spread rapidly through pen drives from one computer to another.
One can protect the P.C by the following simple steps:-

Connect the pen drive or USB drive to the computer. A dialog box will pop up asking one to choose what one wants the Windows to do. just click on cancel.
Go to start – run and type cmd to open Command Prompt. Check the drive letter of your pen drive (For example, Transcend H:). In the command Prompt, type h: and press Enter. Now type dir/w/o/a/p and hit enter again. One will get a list of files. See if any of these files are there: Autorun.inf, New Folder.exe, Bha.vbs, Iexplore.vbs, Info.exe, MntDrCore.exe, New_folder.exe, Ravmon.exe, Ravon.exe, RVHost.exe or any other file with a .exe extension.
If one finds any of these files above, one should run the command attrib-h-r-s-a*.* at the Command Prompt and press enter. Delete each file one by one using del file name (i.e. del autorun.exe). finally to be sure if the device is free of viruses, one should scan with a good antivirus.
Currently Heap41a is spreading fast.
