About Me

Everyone has something to talk, either it's words of wisdom or trash. The truth is we will never know which one it is. I personally like these two proverbs, "Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder" "The distances between insanity and genius is measured only by success"

How To Write A Resume

Remember this important phrase.

Resume helps you to get an interview NOT a job

It’s the interview helps you get a job.

The question now is,

“How are you going to make the person who reads your resume giving you a call?”

It must attract the person to read more of your resume.

1. Layout is important. It helps when your resume layout is different from 100 resumes with the same layout. There are many jobseekers using same resume builder from specific jobsite.

Spend some time study different resume layouts that are available from Internet and customized it. When you customized it, your resume will stand out from the rest.


2. Wording of your resume. An attractive resume is easy to read. Employers will ignore those resumes that are difficult to read.


3. Contents. The most important content of your resume is your professional working experience. This is where you highlight your achievements to prospective employers. Write down the goods thins you did in your work instead of the job descriptions.

Example,
Cost savings activities
Sales achievement
Clearing the backlog
Any ideas or activities, which contributes to efficient and effective work
Meeting the deadline of your work
Teaching new staff

A word of advice: Be honest in stating your achievement.


4. Please remember this. Don’t forget to include your name and contact number. There is nothing more funny than an impressive resume without name and contact number. There are people made this mistake.

A small oil leak in your engine is like a hidden enemy as it’s difficult to trace. It could goes unnoticed for a long period, if you are lazy or until serious damage happened to engine.

These two steps can help you identify the problem.

1. Check the engine oil dipstick. Wipe it clean beforehand for accurate reading. It’s best to check it early morning after an overnight.

2. Look under your car and check the engine oil pan. An engine pan covered with oil is sign of leakage.

Once you identify it, it’s time to find location of the leakage. How to do it?

It’s simple and easy. Drive your car to the nearest car wash shop and give it a wash.
IMPORTANT: Wash the under hood and bottom of your car.

It should be squeaky clean and dry without any oil mark on the engine pan. Remember to top up some engine oil and drive around as usual. On the following day, send it straight to your mechanic.

Why wash it the night before you send your car to mechanic?

For a visible sign of oil trail appears on your engine pan. Mechanic can easily identify the part that causes leakage. This simple action saves you time and money.

Drive Yourself To Save Money

Fuel oil is getting expensive with world oil prices keep spiraling upwards. Oil is known as black gold. It’s a matter of time before it dried up completely as demand is higher than supply.

You can save money by driving your car with few simple tips. You can also help the oil to last longer at the same time.

Avoid aggressive driving. Yes, everyone of us did it. Speeding and hard braking can reduce your gas mileage faster than normal driving. Speeding is also dangerous and you putting yourself and others at risk.

Lighten the load of your car. The lighter you car, the more money you can save on gas. If hybrid cars are available in your country, then buy it. You protect the environment and future generations.

Plan your route. A short distance with frequent stop and go uses more gas than long distance with few stops. Frequent stop and go is bad for your engine. Wear and tear also more prevalent with this driving style.

Check your tire pressure and I mean really check it. My friend kicks her car tyre to check the pressure. If she feel the tyre is hard, no pumping required. Well, this is totally wrong. You must take off the valve cap to check tyre pressure and definitely not by kicking. Pump your tyres to the right pressure by following your car guideline.

There you have it. Simple tips to help you save money.

Something About Me

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
-Dale Carnegie-



I studied marketing in my college days. It was not love at first sight but I soon learnt to love it as time goes.

Before I can blow off the 22 candles on my birthday cake, I was thrown out into the employment world. From here onwards, it is a roller coaster ride. It is like a young sexy woman gives me a smooch and his boyfriend punched me soon after.

Looking back, it has almost been 5 years where I breathe and live in employment world. The first lesson I learnt - studying is completely different from working. I was surprised and shocked with the truth of this working life but I managed adapt to it.

Marketing. The first chapter is defintion of Marketing. I know I had enroll into a troublesome study when I find out there is no one single definite definition of marketing. Every marketing guru, authors and body of marketing have their own set of definition. I keep my finger crossed that I can graduate from my study at that time.

But, there is one definition I like best. It is from Maxx Barry, author of the novel SYRUP.
It is hilarious, unpredictable and highly entertaining fiction with marketing as the background of the story. The following excerpt is from SYRUP.


mktg: a definition

Marketing (or mktg, which is what you write when you’re taking lecture notes at 200 words per minute) is the biggest industry in the world, and it’s invisible. It’s the planet’s largest religion, but the billions who worship it don’t know it. It’s vast, insidious and completely corrupt.

Marketing is like LA. It’s like a gorgeous, brainless model in LA. A gorgeous, brainless model on cocaine having sex drinking Perrier in LA. That’s the best way I know how to describe it.



He rocks, isn't it. I highly recommend this book for everyone and especially all the aspiring marketers out there. Go grab this SYRUP from your nearest bookstores to show your support for Maxx Barry. His official website is http://www.maxxbarry.com/
