Thats How Applicants Embellish Their Essays
2008-02-10 09:32:00 Here are five examples of accomplishments commonly seen on admission essays and what they really mean:1.

How To Write A Top-Notch Resume
2008-02-09 08:17:00 As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. In today's competitive job market, the first impression that prospective employers will have about you is your resume. Since this "calling card" of your talents and credentials will often make the difference in whether you are scheduled for an interview, you need to make sure that it's informative, error free, and will whet the reader's appetite to want to meet you in person.Here are ten tips for creating a top-notch tool to get your foot in the door.1.

What's Up With Jerry Yang ?
2008-02-08 18:06:00 One of the first questions that Jerry Yang and his top lieutenants pondered after he became chief executive of Yahoo last summer was whether the company could remain independent. They quickly answered yes.But Mr. Yang, who founded Yahoo along with David Filo in 1995, had a harder time coming up with convincing answers for many of the more complex questions facing the company. How exactly would an independent Yahoo sharpen its focus, shed marginal projects and become a stronger competitor to Google, the runaway leader in online search and advertising?Mr. Yang, a cerebral, highly analytic executive who, by all accounts, cares deeply about the company he helped build and its workers, appears to have run out of time to answer those questions. A $44.6 billion bid from Microsoft is once again forcing Mr. Yang and his board to consider the viability of Yahoo as an independent company.This time, Mr. Yang, 39, faces enormous pressure as he decides whether to try to rescue the company from th...

The Most Important Tasks
2008-02-06 14:28:00 It’s very simple: your MIT is the task you most want or need to get done today. In my case, I’ve tweaked it a bit so that I have three MITs — the three things I must accomplish today. Do I get a lot more done than three things? Of course. But the idea is that no matter what else I do today, these are the things I want to be sure of doing. So, the MIT is the first thing I do each day, right after I have a glass of water to wake me up.And here’s the key to the MITs for me: at least one of the MITs should be related to one of my goals. While the other two can be work stuff (and usually are), one must be a goal next-action. This ensures that I am doing something to move my goals forward that day.And that makes all the difference in the world. Each day, I’ve done something to make my dreams come true. It’s built into my morning routine: set a next-action to accomplish for one of my goals. And so it happens each day, automatically.Another key: do your MITs first thing in the m... More About: Tasks

Build Trust Through Advertising
2008-02-06 13:21:00 How many times have you forked over xx dollars just to watch that money go down the drain? Have you ever wondered what went wrong or what you could have done differently? I know I have.Advertising is truly a game of hit and miss. It's a numbers game. The more someone sees your company, your product, or your name advertised, the more someone hears it being talked about by columnists, reviewers, or a trusted friend, or reads about it on forums and blogs, the more trustworthy it becomes. And without trust, there simply is no way you or your business can win!So how do you and I build that trust? That's what I've been pondering the last few weeks and I have to say the only way to build trust is to create trust. And to create trust, you must:• Be patient.Trust doesn't happen over night. Most people don't willingly give trust away, you have to earn it.• Pay for regular ad spots.Don't pay for a one shot deal, but pay for 6 months of advertising in the same publication. Give the pu...

2008-02-04 15:40:00 Now that I have started making some cash from this blog , I thought it will be a good idea to share with you my earnings in the last month and my experiences with several services.1. Adsense - $ 30.Like the rest of the blogger community , I too am not so happy with adsense.Those cheap clicks of 0.01 to 20 cents just annoy me.2. Smorty - $ 18.Smorty gave me 3 opportunities when I signed up for it.Each sponsored post paid me $ 6. So with smorty I earned a total of 18 $.But it has been more than 2 weeks and it had given me no more opportunities.I think it lacks advertisers right now.3.

How To Write Short Stories
2008-02-04 08:09:00 Some of the best fictional stories are short stories. A short story is a usually a fictional story or it could be otherwise, but it is short enough to be read in one sitting, hence the name “short story”. The thing about short stories is that because they are short you do not have too much time to introduce your characters and to set up the scenes. The idea is to keep it fairly simple and make it fairly fast paced.When writing short stories, keep the number of characters in your story to a minimum. If you spend all your time introducing characters, your reader may lose interest and you may run out of time for all the action of your story. Make sure that all the characters you include are necessary to your story.Before you start writing it is a good idea to briefly plan out your story. Make a list of possible characters and describe briefly what you want to happen in your story. In your plan you should have an introduction paragraph that sets the scene and introduces your charact... More About: Stories , Write , Short Stories , Short

When Buying A High Definition TV, Don't Believe What You See In Showrooms
2008-02-03 17:49:00 As more people buy on the web, most people thinking about getting a high definition TV would rather visit a brick-and-mortar store than buy it through a web merchant. This is perfectly understandable, because you get the chance of seeing the high definition television with your own eyes, or getting help from a salesperson before parting with your money.But things may not be what they seem... here I will give you a few reasons why your judgment of a high definition TV in showrooms may be inaccurate.First of all, most high definition TVs on display are configured in what is termed in the industry as "dynamic mode". By this I mean that contrast is artificially inflated and the colors are deliberately over-saturated on the high definition television, as these manipulations have been proven to boost sales.A HDTV that is displaying in "dynamic mode" gives an impression of "brightness" and "colorfulness", usually mistaken as the telltale signs of a good TV even though the picture is — in...

Top 10 Tips To Sales Success
2008-02-03 17:45:00 1) ALWAYS top-down sell. I can't say how many time's I've observed someone loosing more revenue simply because they didn't ask for the max subscription or term of their product/service. You'll find not all customers are concerned about prices since they can use what they spend with you as a tax break on their business.2) Start the pitch with a larger value products and if we can't close the big sale, follow up with a smaller product.3) Get into the habit of not using the word 'hundred' when giving a customer a price. Hundred has a 'large amount' connotation to it. Rather than saying 'one hundred and nineteen dollars and 50 cents.'Use: It's ONLY one-nineteen fifty for the year.' And follow up with features, functions and benefits of multi-year/unit purchasing.4) Set your sights and expectations high! Imagine yourself where you want to be at the end of the day and that's where you be!5) ALWAYS break down price to the smallest metrics. Example: Describe a hosting package...

Pros And Cons of Different Types Of Investments
2008-02-03 14:34:00 When deciding where to invest your money, you need to always take into account your investment goals and objectives. Different types of investments carry varying degrees of risks and potential return.CDA bank CD is a very safe investment. The CD is FDIC insured up to $100,000, so there truly is minimal risk. The only downside is that you cannot withdraw that money in the CD for a specific amount of time or else you'll receive a penalty. Bank CDs generally only pay up to 5% interest.BondsA bond is essentially a loan you make to a company or a government. Bonds have varying degrees of risk, from essentially risk-free treasuries to junk bonds.

$100 Oil: Moving Deeper Into Uncharted Territory
2008-01-30 10:50:00 Crude oil prices have risen to a historic $100 per barrel (West Texas Intermediate [WTI]), the culmination of a $25 price increase over several months, to reach a record that once seemed untouchable. Until now, the world has never experienced a triple-digit oil price. The all-time inflation-adjusted high was in April 1980, when, CERA calculates, crude oil hit $99.04 per barrel in terms of 2007 US dollars. The broader significance of a $90-$100 price range is that it highlights in dramatic fashion how different the oil market environment-and indeed the world economy-is today compared to the past two decades.The jump in price from $75 at the beginning of September to $100 in early January 2008 highlights the dominant sentiment driving the oil market-that oil supply will be unable to keep pace with rising demand. However, if oil demand growth hits the brakes because of an economic slowdown or an easing of supply anxiety, we could see a steep fall in price.Hundred dollar oil, give or ta...

Top 10 Feed Readers / News Aggregators

15 Tips for Writing a Great Cover Letter

How Blog Traffic Exchanges Can Make You Money ?
More articles from this author:2008-01-18 18:57:00 Blog Traffic Exchanges are simply websites which operate on a reciprocal viewing ratio, whereby you’ll manually surf and visit various blogs in the network, in return for other users to visit your blog.For example, by logging into a blog traffic exchange and visiting one blog in their network, I would earn one credit which means that I’ll get one visit in return from another blogger who is using the same traffic network. I would say that these exchanges are very useful for new blogs who need to get more exposure but established blogs with strong organic traffic from search engines, probably do not need to use them.There are several of them out there and most of the ones I’ve tried seem to have similar blogs on their networks. BlogSoldiers and BlogMad are two of the best traffic exchanges out there.Here is the list of four blog traffic exchanges I’ve come across and used so far:1. Blog Explosion2. BlogMad3. Blog Soldiers4.
