5 Reasons Why Your Resume Is Never Read

Wondering why you never receive a phone call for a job interview? Maybe your resume fails to make an impression on the employer/recruiter.

Most job applicants make very common blunders that force the employer to toss their resume out the window.

Here are the top five reasons why your resume is never read.

1. Your resume has an awful layout/presentation

Your resume has 20-30 seconds to make an impression on the reader. If it fails to do so, then you probably need to work on it. Work hard on

the layout and overall presentation of your resume as it creates the first impression on the reader. The layout of your resume is as important a

the content itself. Make sure you use an appropriate format with well-defined sections, allowing the readers to find the information they are

looking for. Avoid errors and spelling mistakes. Keep your resume short and to-the-point.

2. Your resume is not focused or relevant

Keep your resume as relevant as possible. It should not include a long list of your responsibilities from your previous jobs, especially if the

information is irrelevant to the job to which you are applying.

3. Your resume still has an objective statement

Avoid adding a vague, general and long-winded objective/goal at the top of your resume. It simply tells the employer what you want, instead

of telling them what you bring to the table. As an alternative, add a short description of your unique talents and key attributes that can make

an impact on the reader.

4. Your resume is not keyword-optimized

Your resume should be keyword-optimized. For that, you need to use the relevant keywords mentioned in the job description. Before sending

your resume, read closely the job description and the skills/qualifications required for the ideal candidates. Make sure you meet the criteria

and mention each credential in your resume.

5. You havent mentioned your core competencies

Does your resume tell the employer about your accomplishments and core competencies that make you the best fit for the job role? Add

details about the problems you solved, the procedures you implemented, the trainings you attended or delivered, the improvements you mad

and the objectives you accomplished in your past jobs. You can also add details about any awards/recognition you received from your past

employers. Identify your strengths and skills and make a list. Dont forget to connect them with the job description.

Hope the above tips help you get to the interview stage. Happy Resume Writing!

Help! My Boss Is Allergic ToNew Ideas!

Should I Get A Job Or ShouldI Go Back To Grad school?

Question:

Our company has undergone some major changes,

paramount of which is the entry of a new

management. The new higher-ups are encouraging usto devise innovative ways to boost our productivity

and generate new revenue channels. My team

members and I have come up with a lot of unique

ideas that we believe will help the company enhance

its profitability. The problem is with my boss, who is

from an old school of thought. He has been working

for the company for a very long time and strongly

believes in the traditional way of doing business and,

therefore, rejects any new or unique idea presented

to him. I seriously think his actions are harming the

company but I am afraid to go over his head. What

should I do?

A. Your problem is unfortunately a very common one. In many

cases, the resistance to new ideas is a direct result of not just one

bosss perspective towards business but an entire companys

culture that is averse to innovation and change. The best

approach to deal with this problem is to mould your presentation

in a way such that it is easy for your boss to understand. Instead

of overwhelming him with a truckload of ideas, outline it to him

one at a time with supporting arguments. Another way is to

present your ideas as beneficial for him as well as the company.

By doing so, your boss will become more open to your

suggestions.

Trying to see things from his perspect ive will also help youdevelop a strong presentation. Innovation is risky; businesses

stand to lose a large amount of money should a particular

business proposition fail. You can start by suggesting a trial of

your new idea on a small scale, just to check the efficacy of its

results.

If even that fails, then you might want to consider bypassing him

in the hierarchy. You have your higher- ups willingness to innovate

as your trump card. It is most likely that they will support you in

the implementation of your ideas, even if your boss doesnt.

Ultimately, if its good for the company, there is no reason why

they should say no.

Question:

I recently graduated with a major in English. My

parents keep telling me that with such a major, it is

unlikely I will be able to find a good job, hence theyare suggesting I go back to a graduate school to get

a masters degree, which will help better my job

prospects. The reason I dont want to apply is

because I am tired of studying and now want some

real, hands-on work experience. My parents are

insisting I go ahead with pursuing a masters degree

(theyre even willing to foot the bill!). Please advise.

A. There is no doubt that it has become immensely tough for

graduates to find good jobs. Statistics show that there has only

been a slight increase in the number of new graduates getting

employed.

A lot of students, as a result, are opting for masters degree

programs at traditional universities as well as online universities,

as a way of either increasing their marketability or hiding out unt

the job market gets better. Your situation, though tough, is not a

hopeless one. What you need to do is to first determine what you

goals are.

For a variety of professions, a masters degree is a requirement.

Yet, there are some which dont really require going back to grad

school. Many employers value work experience as much as a

postgraduate degree. What you can do is talk to people you know

who work in the field you would like to enter and ask them how

they got there. In the end, it all depends upon what your future

plans are and what career you would like to pursue.

The World Expo 2012 recently concluded at Yeosu, South Korea on the 12th of August. This event was an International Exposition

recognized by the International Exhibitions Bureau (BIE) which opened on the 12th of May and ran for 3 months. The theme of the Expo was

The Living Ocean and Coast with subthemes of Preservation and Sustainable Development of the Ocean and Coast, New Resources

Technology, and Creative Marine Activities.

More than 100 countries and international organizations took part in this massive event which saw almost 8 million visitors during its 3 month

tenure.

This was Koreas second world fair after 1993. The World Expo 2012 celebrated the worlds oceans and coasts. The event, which was held

on a 62-acres site, saw foreign nations share the International Pavilion with separate pavilions for Korea; a theme pavilion, an aquarium,

corporate pavilions and performance venues.

History of World Fairs

The first World Fair was held in 1851 in London. The objective was to allow people to share their ideas, experiences, cultures and scientific

advancements on a shared platform for new inventions. This has inspired millions of people from around the world to grow and learn by

coming together.

Through such fairs, people are given the chance to explore new cultures, advancements in science & technology and the latest inventions.

The purpose and goal of holding such fairs has changed with time. While still representing the commercial needs of society, they also presenta picture of peoples hopes and aspirations with regard to how they view the future.

The world has become a global village; trade and cultural exchange has facilitated the process of bringing people from different backgrounds

closer. Through such fairs, people can be provided valuable insight into others lives, thereby encouraging tolerance and respect between

different races and creeds.

MUST Universitys Better Tomorrow Program Helped GuaranteeA Future For Myself

Being a single mother of two children, aged 8 and 10, has its challenges, most of them financial. Currently, I am working as a Legal

Executive at a local law f irm. We live in a small rented apartment in the middle of the city. As of late, I was having a tough time

making ends meet; hence, I am now seriously considering changing jobs as my current salary, quite frankly, is not enough to pay

for the rent of our apartment and my childrens education, not to mention other expenses. However, before doing so, I wanted to

apply for a Masters degree in Law as I felt that it will increase my worth as a potential employee and help me enhance my skills

and capabilities. Unfortunately, my f inancial situation, at the time, did not allow me to pursue my education needs. Additionally, I did

not want to compromise on the time spent with my children.

This put me in a deep fix; to find a university that promoted a masters degree program that was affordable and had flexible timings

seemed like an almost impossible task. Just when I was about to lose hope, a friend suggested I check out MUST Universitys

Better Tomorrow program. After reading about the programs features on MUST Universitys website, I figured it was worth a shot.

Soon after I had enlisted for the program, I realized that it was probably the best decision I had ever made. Through MUST

Universitys Better Tomorrow program, I was able to gain access to high quality education at virtually no cost! As per their

agreement, MUST University and various education ministries around the world contribute 80% and 20% to the fund respectively,

so that numerous students are given the chance to pursue a high standard of education. In addition, in order to help students

acclimatize themselves with the program, native education counselors are present to answer students queries. Local faculty is

hired to enhance students learning with the help of highly structured and comprehensive academic theories combined with

real-life insight. Thanks to MUST Universitys Better Tomorrow Program, I am now on the road to securing mine as well as my

childrens future.

Hillary Clinton On Womens Equality and Empowerment

Hillary Clinton has always stood up for womens equality and empowerment. Even at the time when she was the First Lady at the White

House, she was the leading voice for womens rights and equality not only in the United States but in other emerging democracies across

the globe.

"Yes, it is hard to believe that even here at home, we have to stand up for womens rights and reject efforts to marginalize any one of us,because America needs to set an example for the entire world," Clinton said. "And it seems clear to me that to do that, we have to live our

own values and we have to defend our own values. We need to respect each other, empower all our citizens, and find common ground

Holding a very prestigious position as the Secretary of State, Clinton has a no-nonsense attitude, which is why she has been ranked the

second most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.In her tenure as Secretary of State, Clinton has helped women start businesses,

encouraged them to take part in politics and, most importantly, motivated them to build their strengths and courage.

Clinton, in one of her statements, said that she had met a young Muslim woman who had been working in partnership with the U.S.

Embassy to build Tunisia's democracy.

"I told her that in America, in Tunisia, anywhere in the world, women should have the right to make their own choices about what they wear,

how they worship, what jobs they should do, and what causes they should support. These are choices women have to make forthemselves, and they are a fundamental test of democracy."

Clinton firmly believes that America can bring a positive change in the world through women empowerment and equality, especially in third

world nations.
