Answer 1

You can directly fetch the text this way:

String doj = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[contains(.,'Date of Joining')]//div[2]")).getText();

or

String doj = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[contains(.,'Date of Joining')]//div[@class='column_right']")).getText();

Answer 2

You must have stored element for text 'Date of Joining', let's say it is element. Now, we can find the element with text '06/06/2009' with following:

element.findElement(By.xpath("..//following-sibling::div")).getText();
