What should a good resume contain? Here are some good Resume tips to share with; 1. First of all, it is crucial to relate your past experiences and what do you believe you can contribute in the job that you applied. Always emphasize on your past accomplishment which is related to this role. A good resume predicts how good you might perform in the desired future job. 2. Impress the employer with “PAR” Statements (problem-action-results); In other words, firstly state the specific problems that you have faced in the work place, then relate what you have done to overcome or resolve them, and finally “identify” the key value and benefits of the act and the beneficial results which you have obtained. 3. Backup your quality and strengths. Try to relate your qualities with some real life working experiences will definitely help the employer to understand your strengths better. 4. You may omit those job experiences which are not related to the current opportunity from the resume and keep only those which are relevant. This will help to increase your chances of getting the employer’s attention. 5. No lies should be included in your resume. Nowadays, most of the Human Resource departments do perform background checking of their candidates, and you might ruin your credibility for life if it is a big lie which has been told. 6. Resume should be kept simple and crispy. It should not be too long. Anything more than two pages are considered too long. Remember that the objective is to provide necessary information and not all the information. Keep your resume brief, but strong in terms of illustrating your key strengths and potential. 7. Mention who you have worked for or are working for if he/she is someone well-known in the industry. It will add weight for your desired job as this information helps the employer to visualize how important and capable you are in your previous or current working experience. 8. Explain the benefits of your skills. You will only catch the attention of the desired employer or their Human Resource personnel who is reviewing these incoming resumes by elaborating how you perceive your skills will benefit the new company. Try to illustrate it with some tangible results or examples. This will greatly improve your chances. At the end of this article, I’d like to share cool websites with more tips on topics like resume tips and how to write a resume . Visit for more information.

Article Writing has in recent times become extremely popular. A poorly written article can be harmful, both to you as the author and the products you are promoting. The article you write should not only display your creative and imaginative skills but also satisfy the needs of your target audience. These ten article writing tips can act as a guide in helping those who wish to succeed in writing articles for the internet. 1. Write on a Topic that you know best: Always write on some topic that you know best or are familiar with. If you have a website it is important to write on topics relevant to your website. The reason is obvious. No visitor will want to visit a website he is not interested in. 2. Have a Captivating Title: This is the most important of all the writing tips. The title should be powerful and captivating but not misleading. Spend some time and think about a title that will attract and captivate the imagination of your target audience. 3. Organize your Topic in a Point wise form: You topic should be organized in a point wise form so that the reader easily understands and grasps your ideas. There should be an Introduction at the commencement and a Conclusion at the end of the article. 4. Have sub-titles, Numbers or Bullet points: When the article is organized in the above manner, it will be even more effective if these sections have sub-titles, numbers or bullet points. When the audience click on the title of your article and view the sub titles and the organized presentation, you can be certain that they will want to read your article. 5. Use simple language and Short sentences: One of the best article writing tips I ever got was to use simple language. Most of your audience will be people who want to learn some thing from your article and would find it difficult to understand technical jargon. Simple language also helps those whose mother tongue is not English, to understand and appreciate your writing. Short sentences are attractive, easily readable and understood. Like getting lost in translation the point you so anxiously wish to make can be lost by the time the reader finds his way to the end of a long sentence. 6. Avoid grammatical mistakes and spelling errors: However good the article might be, if it is sprinkled with grammatical mistakes typos and spelling errors, the reader will before long click away from the article. Proof read and Spell check your article before submission. 7. Display your Expertise: One of the great advantageous in writing for the internet is the opportunity you get to display your expertise. The more you are able to convince the audience of your knowledge and skills, the more popular you will be in the internet world and more targeted visitors you will get to your website. Always proof read your article. 8. Limit the length of article: Always limit the length of your article. It should neither be too short or too long. The popular range is between 500 words and 650 words. This gives you sufficient space to express yourself clearly to your targeted audience. 9. Do Not Sell: If you want your article to be read, appreciated and published by other webmasters, then do not sell. You will loose credibility if you have links from your article to your products and services. 10. Resource Box: Though this is the last of the ten article writing tips, this tip is of vital importance. Here you get the opportunity to write a few lines about yourself, your website and have a life link to your website. Where ever possible link to your website using HTML code and having the keywords embedded in it. Make the best use of it. Conclusion. Writing good content is absolutely important if you wish to succeed in the internet. These ten article writing tips I am confident will be a source of inspiration and motivation for you to write top quality articles. Your own imaginative and creative skills can make them even better.

I know only 2 or 3 legitimate Pay-Per-Post websites are still keep paying promptly out of countless so called Par-Per-Post websites. PostParker support team is awesome, I got sweat replies from them. All the payments are made via PayPal, minimum pay-out is 10$. PostParker.com is about to reduce the minimum pay-out from 10$ to 1$ soon [they are working closely with PayPal to reduce the transaction charges].

We will get nice replies and instructions from the site admin often. 5. Like other Pay-Per-Post sites, quantity and quality both are very important. The quality post which is more than 4 lines will earn 0.07$. Happy earnings!!!!!!!
E-mail has changed the way we do business and made us more efficient. Instead of endless memos and phone calls, we can e-mail a quick question, an invitation to a meeting, or a request. As helpful as e-mail is, however, we need to follow certain rules: 1. Don’t use all caps when writing. It’s the equivalent of shouting in the cyber world, and it’s difficult for our eyes to read. 2. Conversely, capitalize words when appropriate. Using all lower case shows disrespect and sloppiness. 3. Use a subject line that’s pertinent to your e-mail. “Question on Line 81 of Budget” or “Marketing Meeting Set for January 17” subject lines catch the eye more easily and are easier to find at a later date. 4. Instead of indenting paragraphs, use two hard returns between them to make it easier to read. Reading on a computer screen is different from reading print. 5. Number multiple action items. If an e-mail has four things numbered from 1-4, it’s much easier to see what you need. It’s also less likely that something will get forgotten or missed. 6. When replying to an e-mail, include only the information you’re referring to, and write your response underneath. That way, it’s much easier to follow the trail of the conversation than getting an e-mail back three days later with “That’s fine.” 7. Remember e-mail isn’t 100% fail-safe. If you don’t receive a reply to an e-mail, don’t assume the person is ignoring you. With technology glitches and spam filters, e-mail doesn’t always make it to its destination. 8. Never write in an e-mail what you wouldn’t say in a letter or a direct conversation. It’s not anonymous or confidential. 9. Don’t write an e-mail when you’re angry or frustrated. Feel free to compose what you want to say to vent off some steam, but beware the SEND button. Better yet, write what you want to say in Word, save the document, and revisit it the next day when you’ve had a chance to cool off. 10. E-mail isn’t the cure-all for every situation. Sometimes you actually have to pick up the phone or walk down the hall and have a conversation, especially if the matter is controversial. ———– © 2007, Dawn Goldberg and Write Well U.

I think it is pretty safe to say that the hardest decision that needs to made when one decides to get a tattoo is what to actually get a tattoo of. There is literally an endless amount of designs that you could choose from. The most important thing I feel is that you need to make sure whatever you decide will fit you the rest of your life. This is the time you sit down and rack your brain fors omething, which is literally easier said than done. So I thought I would give a little insight on a few ideas people can think about when racking their brain of what to get a tattoo of. First of all I think you should think of something that you are okay living with the rest of your life. Also if you have made a big accomplishment in your life get a tattoo of that milestone. For example, it has became a tradition with Olympic athletes to get the Olympic rings tattooed on them before the leave the games to remind them of their accomplishment. So if you have accomplished something similar to that get a tattoo of that. Also this is more for the women, get a tattoo of your Zodiac sign. Once a Leo, Libra, Aries or whatever you are you will always be one, so that’s a pretty safe tattoo. Also getting a portrait done of a loved one is also a safe bet or even a pet. Lastly, be sure that you don’t go overboard and get a humongous tattoo of whatever you decide. Start out small and if everything works out and you think you can live with it and want to get another one than go bigger next time. But the first should be something a little more modest just to make sure you won’t regret it. Your Tattoo Friend Ashley
Writing articles is the craze today because of the enormous benefits authors can derive from them. To most people writing articles is not a difficult proposition but what is difficult is to write articles that make reading an enjoyable experience. To succeed in this aspect of article writing, several inputs have to come into play. Here are some of the important inputs that make reading an article a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Whatever expert knowledge an author might display, if the article is riddled with grammatical errors and spelling mistakes most readers will not hesitate to click off rather than go through the agony of reading the whole article. The purpose of writing such an article becomes a waste of time and effort. Hence every effort should be made to check the article for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes before publishing. Whenever a topic is discussed there should be a free flow of ideas and continuity, which makes reading an enjoyable experience. Picking bits and pieces from here and there and piecing them up does not make good reading material. For writing articles of quality extensive research is certainly helpful but knowledge gained from other sources should be put down in your own words and a continuous flow of ideas maintained right from the beginning to the end. This makes reading enjoyable. A reader picks up an article to read from an article directory for various reasons. It could be that the title has captivated him or he is searching for articles on a particular topic to gather information. He is not going to waste his time reading some nonsense. He is hungry for information. He wants to improve his knowledge. Good Content is what the reader is interested in. Hence your article should be Informative, Precise and Accurate. If the title is misleading or if the article is of poor quality the reader will move off to another article. Hence when writing articles it is very important that your articles are of quality and displays your expertise in no uncertain terms. The credibility of the author should never be in doubt. You should never get hold of a captive audience and brag about yourself or your business after attracting him to read your article. This is the last thing you should ever do if you intend to build a reputation in the Internet world as an expert author. What the audience perceives about you as an author is what really matters. Articles written sincerely from the heart are very much appreciated and accepted by the audience because they realize that you are trying to be helpful. The audience begins to enjoy reading your articles and often anxiously awaits your next publication. Their admiration for your articles will gradually turn into trust resulting in increased business. These inputs are necessary to be successful in article writing and if implemented judiciously in your writing the outcome will be a beautifully written article giving the audience an enjoyable reading experience. With an increasing readership the rewards will start gathering momentum and writing articles will soon be a way of life. Copyright © Kanaga Siva. Kanaga Siva is an Expert Author and Marketer.

In a previous article that I had written, I discussed a few preparation tips that will improve the sermons your give. They included getting a passage of scripture first, telling a personal story to start off with and keeping the sermon short. In this article, I’m going to share a few more tips that will greatly help you in giving a sermon that will keep your congregation interested and awake. You will find, as I mentioned in the previous article, that if you outline your sermon first, it will go a lot smoother. One way to do this is by writing down a list of bullet points that you want to cover in the sermon itself. These can usually be positioned in between an introduction and a conclusion. From this outline, you can then write the completed sermon. This will help you stay structured and organized. Another thing you want to do is actually give the sermon out loud (by yourself) before you give it. A rehearsal. There is a strange thing about the written word. It sounds one way when reading it silently, and it can sound totally different when read it out loud. This is why you want to read your sermon out loud before you give it. You will probably find that some of the wording just doesn’t sound quite right. You’ll end up wanting to change it. Had you not read it aloud before giving it, you would have never picked up on this. Finally, if possible, you want to memorize as much of the sermon as you can. The reasoning behind this is that if you have your face buried in the text through the whole sermon, you’ll lose your congregation. They want to see YOU. They want to feel that you’re speaking to THEM and not to the notes on the pulpit. The more you look at them the more personal interaction they will feel. If you can’t memorize the sermon, at the very least, make sure you read ahead and look up as often as possible. The sermon doesn’t have to read entirely word for word. The point is, you need to make eye contact with the congregation to be effective in your delivery. There you have it. Three more simple tips to help give you the best sermon that you can possibly come up with. Make an outline, make sure you read the sermon out loud to yourself first, and make eye contact with the congregation. If you do these 3 simple things, added to the tips I gave in the first article, you’ll find that your sermon is the best one you can possibly deliver.

This I didn’t want to hear. But knowing that it was best to follow a John’s advice, I made my way to the cliff and carefully peered over the edge staying as far back as I could. There, one hundred feet below were teeth-like jagged rocks that would impale anyone unfortunate enough to fall from this precipice. I glanced back in the direction of my hut. Could I stay awake without subjecting myself to this kind of insanity? And I found myself walking back, climbing the steps, and resignedly sitting down to do my inner work. I actually stayed wide-awake for a long time, but eventually I found myself dozing off again, and became so disgusted with myself that I dejectedly stomped back to the cliff. This indeed was not pleasant. There were only two things I was very uncomfortable with; heights and ghosts, and this cliff was the epitome of my fear of falling. I sat on the ground and scooted toward the edge, not daring to look down. Then I gingerly swung one leg over the edge, then the other while leaning back on my arms, and keeping my balance as far back as I could toward safety. I knew that I would eventually have to sit up in the correct posture to do my inner work, but I had to gain my confidence slowly. I was certainly wide-awake, however! I carefully, and ever so slowly raised myself into an upright sitting position, still not looking down but painfully aware of my situation, as I began my inner work. It wasn’t long before I was sweating profusely, and incredibly awake, imagining that my balance was shifting forward toward the grinning teeth below, and at which point I would quickly lean back on my elbows! This is how things went for a few hours until I noticed my head nodding! This was unbelievable! How in the world could I be stupid enough to let my head nod in a situation like this? This was not good, and I became wide-awake, only to nod again in a little while. This went on for an interminable amount of time until unbelievably; I woke up to find myself slipping over the side of the cliff! How could this be? One of my most agonizing fears was coming true, and I had no way of stopping it! I was going over, head first, so I twisted quickly and clawed at the vertical face. Something hit me in the groin as I went sliding down - a small bush growing out of the side of the cliff - and as I slid past, I was able to grab it and hold tight. I screamed for help until I was horse and couldn’t scream any more, hanging on and dangling above certain death. The bush was not rooted deeply, and every time I screamed, it would pull out a little further; I didn’t have much time. Then, a figure suddenly loomed over me with his hands on his hips, and immediately assumed it was a John keeping an eye on me, but with the sun at his back, I couldn’t tell for sure who it was. Whoever it was continued to stare at me, and then I knew I was finished when whoever it was turned his back and walked away. The bush was now only holding on by a few slim roots and would pull out any moment, so I closed my eyes and waited for that incredible peacefulness that comes when death approaches. All of a sudden, something hit the back of my head! It was a rope, and as it dangled beside me, I was so weak that I couldn’t even grab it. Suddenly, someone jumped over the edge and slid down the rope until he could put his arm around me, holding the rope with the other just as the bush pulled out. We started our slow ascent, inch by inch, until somehow we made it to the top. My savior brushed himself off, and without saying a word, began walking away. I called out, “Moosawa! Wait a minute.” I untied the rope from the tree where Moosawa had fastened it and handed it back to him. With both our hands on the rope, we looked at each other for a moment. “Why did you save me?” I asked, puzzled. “I’m not sure.” “You could have let me fall to my death; a legitimate accident, and then taken my body back for the bounty.” “Yes, that crossed my mind.” “So why did you save me?” “I don’t know. When I first arrived, I only pretended to do the inner work, waiting for you to show up, but as the months went by, I became bored just sitting there and actually tried it. This tiny taste of the inner work, along with the openness and love of these dedicated, harmless men, especially a John who knew from the beginning that I was here to kill you, had an unexpected effect on me. My head turned around. “The night I released the snakes, I was torn. I was beginning to see the futility of escaping the emptiness’ these men talk about, by collecting the bounty and living a life of luxury, but the old me’ was still in charge. After I was sure that you were bitten, I returned to my hut to await word of your death. Suddenly a point of light descended through my open window and lit on the floor, transforming itself into a beautiful woman. Six months ago before I came here, I didn’t believe in immaterial beings - they belonged in children’s fairy tales. But now I do. “I didn’t know what to make of it. She talked to me through my mind somehow, and what she said shocked me, as if I was struck by a bolt of lightening. She showed me, in my head somehow, the rest of my life and how it will play out if I continue in my ways. And it terrified me. Then she showed me my future lives of horror and torture, being buried alive and suffocated many times, and grotesque, monstrous beings chasing me in places not of this earth. When I screamed out, she quickly calmed my mind, after which I experienced nothing but indescribable peace and ease. “After she left, I made my way to your hut to help but could see that you were both suspicious, and when a John looked at me with his hand on my shoulder, I knew my life would never be the same. I made plans to leave the community immediately after you got well, but then something told me to stay just a while longer.” “Did the immaterial being tell you her name,” I asked. “Savaka” He replied. “Yes, I know Savaka. She is your helper being now. . . . So, where will you go now?” “I don’t know. I feel confused and lost.” “You have become a true key seeker like me, and we are both lost. But I know in my heart that we will find our keys someday, and I wish you only happiness.” “Yes, I wish you happiness as well, my king. I will be leaving in the morning so you will not have to worry about me any longer. I am truly sorry for what I have put you through.” “Yes, I’ll remember you every time I look at the scar on my stomach and back from your poorly aimed arrow, and now on my snake-bitten ankle!” Then I smiled and bowed to him with my hands folded at my chest, as we parted company for the last time. He slowly walked down the trail but something was different about Moosawa; he was standing a little straighter now. Sleep, not surprisingly, was no longer a problem after this episode, and one night as my inner work deepened, I had my first visions. It happened when my mind finally slowed down enough with my inner work so that I could sustain undisturbed attention on my breath for an hour. What I imagined in the visions were the woman’s skeleton from the table and the baby from the hall climbing up my steps . . . clump, clump, clump. Then I imagined leering skulls covering the walls of my hut, and when I screamed out in fright, the visions vanished. A John always insisted that I mention any strange events during my inner work, so when I mentioned the visions, he knowingly smiled and said, “The first five to ten years of your inner work will sooner or later bring up feelings of fear, and the sooner you conquer these feelings the better. Face fear straight away, and any visions, words, lights, or anything else you see or hear internally should be dismissed without delay; just immediately return to your breath.” He further explained that this underlying fear resulted from the false perception I had of myself. He was addressing what the blacksmith tried to tell me when he said that I was not who I thought I was. “No progress can be made toward the spiritual life without an equal sacrifice of the material life,” a John added. “Merely giving up something in your mind is inadequate and is simply a fallacy and delusion; you must release it permanently in your heart - and this requires insight and wisdom. Eventually, you must sacrifice everything including your belief in your self,’ and when you do this, fear will naturally arise because as you begin to renounce the worldly life and give up your self,’ you don’t know yet if there will be anything on the other side. Therefore, you will be subconsciously fearful and stuck for a while. When we face the emptiness, this is how it always is. We don’t have the insight at this point to know that just on the other side of this emptiness is everything, including Reality.” The vision kept frightening the wits out of me, recurring every few nights until finally a John put his foot down. “It is time for you to face your fears!” He said, “You must sit through the entire night, alone, next to the cremation sight, and next to the table holding the woman’s skeletal remains until your fear is gone!” I was not happy. This would be worse than the cliff, but I reluctantly agreed to do it. The following evening, I took my mat and timidly approached the cremation sight not far from the skeleton that was lying on the table with part of its flesh still hanging from its bones. I had always been brave, not afraid to fight anybody or anything, but this was different; this was supernatural! A cold fear gripped my heart like a vise when I saw the table. Glancing around quickly, especially behind me, I placed my mat on the ground next to the cremation fire and tried to carry on with my inner work. No luck, I vividly imagined the skeleton sitting up and walking toward me, and I was sure that the bones and skull cooling in the recent fire were inching my way; and even that the baby was crawling out of the hall. I didn’t move; I couldn’t! I just sat there enshrouded in the black night, sweating it out in white-knuckled fear. It must have been around one o’clock in the morning when I heard a soft rustle behind me in the leaves. Then something bumped my leg. Something was crawling into my lap! I was petrified! Was it the skeleton; was it the baby, the skull? I couldn’t move a muscle except for my eyeball, as I slowly looked down. ( To be continued) (hr) E.

The internet is the information highway, this phrase has been used so may time it should be nominated for the Internet Cliché Award. People that go to the internet are subdivided into groups, but generally, they are out to search information. Whether for gaming, business, fun or anything else the internet has provided us with information that has proved to be very beneficial. Through the recent years many people have learned the secrets of Search Engine Optimization. More and more sites have seen the effects articles have done for the traffic of their sites. Some have even created sites devoted entirely to providing articles that could be read by their website visitors and have links that could lead to many sites that are related to the topics and subjects of the articles. For example, the sites may feature many articles about a whole lot of topics. As a website visitor reads the articles they have searched for, they can find at the end of the article a resource box that can be clicked on to link them to the site that has submitted the article. Of course the article would be in relation to the site. Let’s say if the article is about rotating the tires, the resource box may lead to a link to a site that sells tires or car parts. A resource box is what you usually find at the end of an article. They will contain the name of the author, a brief description of the author, a brief description of the sponsoring site and a link. If a reader likes what they read, they would have the tendency to find out where the article came from to read more. The resource bow will be their link to the source of the article and this will entice them to go to the site and do some more reading or research for the subject or topic they are interested in. but like the article itself, the resource box must also be eye-catching to demand the attention and interest of the reader. While the resource bow encompasses only a small space, providing the right keywords and content for your resource box will provide more prodding for the reader to go to your site. Now we know what resource boxes are, what are the benefits of having a good resource box? Mainly it’s driving traffic to your site. Many sites would allow articles to be placed in their sites because they can make use of the articles to fill their pages. They also get affiliation with other sites that can be beneficial for them as well. For the sponsoring site, when you get people to click on your resource box, you generate traffic that can be counted upon as potential customers. So what would be a good content for your resource box? Basically it is keywords, learning about the proper keywords that people are mainly searching for. There are many tools you can find in the internet that can help you in determining what keywords to use. Resource boxes can also make use of all the creativity it can get. You only get a small space for your resource box so you better make the most of it. Try to catch the attention of your reader with resource box content that can make them give a second look. Unlike TV ads, you don’t have visual aids to drive your point in. But you do have the power of imagination of a reader. With the right content, you can make them think and intrigued. Another tip is to use keywords that should be related to your site. Do not mislead your potential website visitors. Build your credibility so that more people would get enticed to visit your site and browse what you have to offer. Make the people click your resource box by providing resource box content that makes a lasting impression. You only get one chance to wow them and hundreds of chances to repulse them. Never underestimate the power of the resource box. It may be small in size but they will provide a significant aid in driving traffic to your site. A boring resource box will never get a job done. Be fun and creative but at the same time show that you have a great deal to offer, too much to ask for something that couldn’t fit a paragraph? Yes and no, there are many tips and guides that can help you in doing this, the first step is realizing how important a resource box could be in making people click your link and be directed to your site.
