The Biscuits — Part 2

Although uncommon in exams, less so in interviews, the examiner or interviewer may offer you the biscuits or other snacks kept in front of them. However hungry you are, it is better to refrain from eating them in exams or interviews.

Eating from the same plate makes you equal to the examiner or interviewer, which they may resent subconsciously. It may give an impression of non-professionalism on your part as person who mixes pleasure with business. It may distract you from giving your best by focusing your attention even partially on the act of eating. You may also not appear the epitome of grace if you make noise while eating, drops bits of biscuits or snacks on the table or floor or crumbs stick to your mouth.

A doctor was appearing in the interview for the post of medical officer. When he came out the interview room, the other doctors eagerly asked him, “how was the interview?” He replied, “The interview did not go so well, but the biscuits were delicious.”

It happened that after just few minutes in the interview, the doctor become sure that he was not going to get selected for the medical officer’s post. So when he was offered the biscuits by the interviewers, he kept on eating and answering the questions till he had emptied the plate. His logic, if I am not getting the job then at least let me get something out of this interview.

The Biscuits — Part 1

Dr. Dev (Fictional Name) while a MBBS student in AIIMS, New Delhi, saw one of his senior buying lots of small packets of glucose biscuits. Curiously he asked the reason for the same.

The senior replied, “My exams are starting from tomorrow. This is in preparation for my exams.”

“Preparations for exams?” asked a surprised Dr. Dev.

The senior explained, “As you know the brain cells requires glucose for function. While studying for the exam tomorrow I will eat these glucose biscuits intermittently for an energy boost for the brain cells.” 

“During the long hours of the practical exam I will carry them in my bag.” He explained further, “If opportunity present I will take a quick bite in between and especially before going for the viva to boost my brain cells and thus my viva marks.”

Tip: Unfortunately all good things come with a negative side as well. There is lot of reports on the negative effects of taking a high sugar diet such as increasing obesity. This has to be kept in your mind before trying to follow the senior. 

Tip: There is also the danger of tooth decay and cavities with eating sweet biscuits. Gargle or rinse your mouth after eating anything sweet. 

Tip: It is better not be seen by the examiners or invigilators while eating anything in the exam hall / ward. If eating anything, do it out of sight. Be careful to wipe any crumbs from your face before going in front of the examiners.
