9 Tips on Creating a Professional Emailed Job Application

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

By Angela Wu With the advent of the Internet, many of us have the opportunity to apply for work through email. However, just because this is the Internet and email is so fast and convenient, that does NOT mean you should give up professionalism and polish! FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT. I recently looked over a few emailed applications, and let me tell you, it was an eye-opening experience! Here are a few examples of how *not* to do things… One person simply forwarded the job description to the hiring company. There was no explanatory letter, no name (just some garbled email address), no nothing. Why should a company want to hire someone who can’t be bothered to make an effort? Several people got the name of the hiring party wrong. Some misspelled it, others substituted someone else’s name. Spelling mistakes, typos, grammatical errors, and formatting problems like you wouldn’t believe. One person said that her greatest strength was her attention to ‘detal’ (should have been ‘DETAIL’); another said it was his responsibility to ‘a tent to customers’ (’ATTEND to customers’). It almost goes without saying that you should always follow the application instructions provided. If you’re inquiring or applying for a job - regardless of whether it’s online or in the ‘real world’ - there are certain rules of etiquette that apply: GREET THE PERSON. Don’t just barge in and start writing. A simple “Dear ___” is great. CORRECTLY SPELL THE COMPANY NAME AND THAT OF THE HIRING MANAGER. If you don’t know how to spell them, take a few seconds and find out. INDICATE WHAT POSITION YOU’RE APPLYING FOR. Be specific; the company may be hiring for more than one job. PROVIDE A BRIEF SUMMARY OF YOUR RELEVANT SKILLS. Keep it short and to the point. CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR. It takes just a few minutes. If you are not confident about doing this yourself, ask a friend or family member to check it over for you. BE COURTEOUS! Don’t make demands. Remember that the *only* thing the hiring manager sees is your email - he or she can’t see your facial expressions or body language, so take extra care in the words you select and how you put them together. FORMAT YOUR EMAIL TO 60 CHARACTERS PER LINE. Many email programs automatically ‘word-wrap’ somewhere between 60 and 70 characters. Add a hard return when you reach 60 characters on a line; this will ensure the company gets a nicely formatted application, just like you intended. TELL THEM HOW TO CONTACT YOU. As the bare minimum, leave your phone number and email address. AND FOR GOODNESS SAKES, TELL THEM YOUR *NAME*. This is so obvious it’s painful, yet I’ve seen dozens of applications there are not signed. End your letter with ‘Sincerely’, ‘Regards’ or ‘Yours Truly’, and then sign your name. Competition for home based jobs is fierce, and companies can afford to be choosy. Don’t give them a reason to pass you by! Professionalism still counts - even on the web.

What’s Your First Marketing Piece?

Friday, August 10th, 2007

By Maggie Dennison When youre about to open your doors for business and you need materials to promote it, where do you start? Brochure? Website? Direct marketing package? Postcards? One of my teachers, Master Copywriter Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero of Red Hot Copy, says the best place to start is to write a sales letter. Why? To produce an effective sales letter, you have analyze every aspect of your product or service. This means researching and scrutinizing your target market, getting inside their heads and figuring out what makes them tick, understanding the doubts that might stop them in their tracks and prevent them from hiring you or buying your product. It forces you to nail down every feature, benefit and advantage of your product or service. It means taking a detailed look at exactly what makes your product or service different from those of your competitors. It also makes you come up with the best ever call to action. Not to forget collecting well-crafted, stellar testimonials from your best clients. Not only that, but you do this all in great detail and depth. Now you may not use all the information in your letter, but you have to delve into all these aspects in order to cherry pick the parts that will create a persuasive message for you. The challenging part in writing a sales letter is that you cant sit down face to face with your prospect and answer questions as they pop into her mind and out of her mouth. Instead you have to anticipate every point that might come up in a personal meeting and answer those one by one in your letter. So an effective sales letter covers every point you need to make in order to move the reader to the next step in your sales process, without having the feedback you get when youre sitting across a table from them. Not an easy task. Thats why it’s such a great idea to get started by writing a long and detailed sales letter even if youre not planning to send it. Sure it takes time to gather all the details, analyze them and organize them in a way that flows persuasively through the sales process. But once youre done, you pretty much have all the information at your fingertips to put together any other piece of promotional material. It’s all there in one document. Then whether you want a brochure, website content, a presentation, a postcard or even a 30-second Round Robin or Elevator Speech, it’s ready in next to no time.

The Type of Woman Men Fall in Love With

Friday, August 10th, 2007

By Steve Ubah Id like to shed some light on something that women have been puzzled about for centuries, and that is the type of women men fall in love with. There have been so many books written on this subject, yet most have not delivered the common sense answers I am going to share with you in this issue of Smart Womans Guide Newsletter. Without wasting much time, I will get right to the point. I am going to give you 10 personality attributes that men love to see in the women they fall head over heels in love with. Men are attracted to women that have: 1. Intelligent This attribute ranks very high, after men have gotten past your looks. Men love women that are smart, opinionated, and articulate. Most enjoy speaking to women who have their own point of view on subjects and are passionate in discussing affairs of the day. Men love to debate, and if you can make them believe, or at least respect, your point of view, then you have a man that will see you as an equal, and not as an ornament to be displayed to the rest of the world until the next best ornament comes his way. 2. Good Humored If you can laugh at your mans crude jokes or take his wisecracks, you become someone he wants to get to know better. But if youre the type that easily gets upset when he jokes about your raggedy hair or sloppy dressing, men will not find your personality as attractive as one who possesses this quality. 3. Confident When you have your own opinion and can defend it, are comfortable in your own skin, regardless of your body size or whatever else Mother Nature has thrown your way, then you have what it takes to attract men that will fall head over heels in love with you. 4. Supportive - Men find it easy to fall in love with women that encourage and support positive undertakings they embark on. Men love women that have the ability to see what they see in the goals they pursue. Men believe that when you support their dreams and goals, you believe in their ability to accomplish those things that are dear to their hearts. And when you support that which is dear to a mans heart, you essentially have the key to unlock his passionate love for you. 5. Accommodating When you understand that men are not perfect, and you are able to easily forgive them for their imperfections, then you possess one of the most admirable qualities men seek in their love interest. However, if you are the type that will nitpick every single thing they do or nag them at the drop of a hat, then you will not have a man hanging around you for very long. 6. Patient This attribute is quite similar to that in #5. When I speak of patience here, I am referring to a womans ability to be in a relationship with a man without pressuring him into making a serious commitment he may not be ready to make. Now understand that there is a way to let a man know that you are interested in settling down, without coming across as desperate or overbearing. Women that show men that they are willing to wait for them to propose a committed relationship are apt to be more attractive to men than those that come across as impatient. 7. Sensual A woman that is not sensual is not attractive to any man. To be attractive to a man you must be perceived as someone who is very comfortable with her sexuality and knows how to initiate sex spontaneously. If you believe that men should always be the first to make the move when it comes to bedroom and lovemaking matters, you may be doing yourself more harm than good when it comes to your ability to attract men. Improve your ability to initiate intimacy, and you will see how much more attractive you will appear to your guy. You can improve in this area tremendously if you are open to what Michael Webb, a bestselling author, reveals in his exciting e-book,”500 Lovemaking Tips & Secrets”. 8. Honest Men find authentic and honest women quite attractive. If you are the type that tells it like you see it, men will find this aspect of your personality very attractive. Say what you will do and do what you say ought to be your motto. Just as you respect and love men that tell you the truth no matter what, men feel the same way when they meet a woman that does not waste their time with fibs. In a nutshell, men are attracted to women that are honest and down to earth, women that do not pretend to be who they are not. 9. Open-minded The willingness to explore other possibilities, new ideas, etc. is an attribute that men seek in the women they want to love. Being open-minded does not mean that one has to compromise ones personal convictions, but rather is able to see another point of view and respect it, even if it is not one that you share. 10. Health conscious Women that take care of themselves are generally more attractive than those that do not. After all a good physique is the first thing that attracts men, even before they get to know how wonderful and exciting you are. Men are attracted to women that exercise, eat right, take care of their hair, nails, and dress well. To attract the best you must look your best it is that simple.

Coumadin Users Can Avoid Unnecessary Complications By Wearing Identification

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Terry_McDermott] Terry McDermott The police arrive at the accident scene promptly. A driver has run his automobile into a guardrail while exiting a highway. The driver does not seem to be injured but is somewhat incoherent and is slipping in and out of consciousness. Did he strike his head? Is he inebriated? Is he on drugs? A quick review of the drivers attire reveals a medical alert bracelet that identifies him as a Coumadin user. This is crucial information for those responding to the incident. Coumadin (the brand name for Warfarin) is a medication that has offered protection from strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms other conditions resulting from blood clots. Coumadin is an anti-coagulant, or blood thinner, that helps to prevent the formation of blood clots. Those with certain heart conditions or who are subject to irregular blood clotting can benefit significantly from Coumadin. Thats the good news. The bad news is that Coumadin is a medication that must be carefully monitored to insure the correct balance in the users system to avoid serious complications. Coumadin dosage is a very precise science and is determined by the specific condition being treated, certain characteristics of the person with the condition and the rate of clotting as determined by regular testing. In order to achieve the proper levels of Coumadin it may be necessary to take different doses each day. This requires that the user be very aware of the schedule and keep good records of dosage requirements and testing schedules. Warfarin (generic Coumadin) was actually used as rat poison. Large doses of the compound caused rodents to hemorrhage internally and die. While the doses for humans are relatively miniscule, the dangers of excess bleeding are still a concern. The delicate balance of Coumadin in the system is the reason that many users will wear some form of medical alert identification. In the event of an emergency or an accident, attendants can readily identify a Coumadin user and attempt to discern whether to avoid certain other medications that may interact adversely with Coumadin. Emergency personnel can also determine if Coumadin may be the culprit. There are many medical conditions and medications that can cause a situation or a reaction whereby a person cannot communicate. Conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, food allergies and the use of medications like Coumadin can be easily and readily identified by wearing medical alert jewelry with the proper information engraved or stored. A small problem can become a large problem if someone takes the wrong course of action, or no action, based on a lack of information. A small, attractive, fashionable piece of jewelry can help you look sharpand save your life. Copyright Online Enterprises. All Rights Reserved. About the author: J.

Test and Tag Regulations Western Australia

Monday, August 6th, 2007

By Gavin Grech Regulation 4.37 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 places an obligation on a person who is an employer, a main contractor, a self employed person, a person having control of a workplace or a person having control of access to a workplace, to ensure that plant at the workplace is subject to appropriate checks, tests and inspections necessary to reduce the risk of injury or harm occurring to a person at the workplace. A electrical testing and tagging regime for electrical equipment is the way to demonstrate compliance with the above regulation. The following licensing requirements apply when testing electrical appliances and equipment in workplaces other than construction sites: Electrical Testing using a plug-in tester: When testing is carried out by plugging equipment into a commercially available plug-in PAT testing device, the person conducting the testing need not hold any electrical licence and may fix the appropriate tag. Note that if the equipment is found to be defective, it can only be repaired by an appropriately licensed electrician. Electrical Testing using electrical test instruments: Where testing is carried out using an instrument with hand-held probes or clip-on leads, such as an insulation resistance meter and the equipment needs to be partly dismantled, then the person performing the testing must hold an A grade electrical mechanics or electrical fitters licence or a restricted electrical licence endorsed with the scope of work relevant to the type of equipment being tested. Construction sites Regulation 3.61 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 specifies that electrical installations, appliances and equipment on construction sites must comply with Australian New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3012 Electrical Installations Construction and demolition sites. Clause 3.6 of AS/NZS 3012:2003 specifies that electrical equipment shall be inspected and tested in accordance with AS/NZS 3760 In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment. Regulation 3.62 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 requires that persons who test and place their licence number on the tag must be electrical workers as defined in the Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991. The electrical worker must be the holder of either an A grade electrical mechanics or electrical fitters licence or a restricted electrical licence endorsed with the scope of work relevant to the type of equipment being tested. Mine sites Regulation 5.27 of the Mines Safety and Inspection Regulations 1995 specifies that portable apparatus normally used in heavy operating environments must be examined, tested and tagged quarterly. The electrical licensing requirements for persons who carry out the testing at mine sites are the same as for workplaces other than construction sites above. In all cases, if the equipment or appliance requires dismantling or repair, only the holder of an electrical mechanics or electrical fitters licence or a restricted electrical licence endorsed with the scope of work relevant to the type of equipment being dismantled or repaired, may carry out the necessary electrical work. Advice to Employees Electrical testing and tagging of all portable appliances as per AS3760 should now be the norm in all workplaces. If this is not the case in your workplace, you as an employee should approach your employer and request that this be done as soon as possible. If it is not done, then the employer is breaching his/her duty under Regulation 4.37 of the Occupational Safety All Safe Test and Tag is your No. 1 resource for all your electrical testing and tagging queries. We at All Safe are dedicated to providing only factual information about the AS3760 and portable appliance testing to ensure you are fully informed to make you workplace a safer environment.

How To Change A Loved One’s Annoying Habits

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

By Teresa Franklyn Is there someone close to you who has an annoying habit you want changed? Perhaps a partners controlling streak, a family members back seat driving, or a friends incessant unsolicited advice. If this has become a source of conflict in your relationship and you have tried everything you know, without success, to change them, why keep trying everything you know? Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again expecting different results. For different results, take different actions. Instead of reacting and allowing those annoying habits to push your same buttons, try surrendering to them. Instead of trying to change them, try accepting them. When you let go of your need to change someone, you also release your grip on them to be who they are, as they are. When you resist something, it only gains more power. Resisting a loved ones annoying habit will only create the energy for them to do it more. This neither helps you nor them, but only feeds into the endless cycle. The next time you are faced with their annoying habit, take a deep breath and recognize it as an opportunity to practice acceptance, patience and unconditional love. The only way to strengthen these qualities within us is to put them into daily practice until they become a part of us. What a wonderful opportunity you have been given, then! It is a chance for you to rise and shine. It is a chance for you to be that better person, the person you want to be and know you already are deep down, the person with integrity, character, compassion and wisdom. When our buttons are pushed, we often react from conditioned responses, from habitual patterns we may not be conscious of initially. And before we know it, were in the middle of a full-out argument with our loved one and exchanging heated words and negative energy. We need something to help remind us of the newfound opportunity so that we may view it with different eyes, instead of catapult us back into our habitual patterns of resistance, frustration, annoyance and resentment. Training ourselves to take a deep breath at the instance of resistance serves a dual purpose. One, it helps us to slow down, to act instead of react, and serves as a reminder to look at the bigger picture. And two, it delivers more oxygen into our brain which helps to give us mental clarity and calm. While it may be difficult in the moment to be thankful to the person pushing your buttons, and you may initially find yourself doing it through gritted teeth, it is helpful to remember that you are in control of your buttons. You are the one allowing them to be pushed or not. Getting annoyed at something another person does has absolutely nothing to do with the other person or their actions. This is so vital, it merits repeating. Getting annoyed at something another person does has absolutely nothing to do with the other person or their actions. The lesson is not about THEM changing, it is about YOU changing. Your best chance to change someone else is to change yourself. Accepting someone else exactly as they are creates the positive, supportive energy for them to take a look at themselves on their own and instigate inner changes without the added resistance of your judgments upon them. There is transformational power in acceptance and nonresistance. Life naturally flows toward evolution, wholeness and purity. If we try to force it upon someone sooner than they feel ready, we only hold them back. It takes time to develop, grow and blossom into our true potential as human beings. While it may take time before you can seize each opportunity with genuine gratitude, rest assured that before long, their annoying habit will no longer be an annoyance to you and you may be surprised, though it is not uncommon, to find it gone completely.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Rosary Beads

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

By Kristy Annely The use of a rosary originated in the third and fourth centuries. At that time, common people were able to recite short prayers but were unable to read or write. In order to maintain a record of how many times one prayed people used knots or pebbles for each prayer. Saint Dominic started the use of a form of the rosary in the 13th century. This design was constantly altered through the centuries, but by the Renaissance period, it developed into what we use today. When one mentions a rosary, it could refer both to an object and a set of prayers and meditations. A string of beads is used to pray the rosary along with the recital of a sequence of prayers and meditations on the life of Jesus Christ and his mother, the Virgin Mary. The rosary is very important to Roman Catholics, who consider it holy. Pious Catholics use it as a means of thought and reflection and as a daily and methodical approach towards prayer. As an object, the rosary is a string of beads. These beads are arranged in five sets of ten, popularly termed as decades. In most rosaries, a larger bead or an additional decoration separates each set. The beads end in a small pendant with Virgin Marys picture. This is followed with a short string of one bead, three beads and one bead placed at small intervals. At the end of this formation, one will find a small, suspended crucifix. Rosary prayers are counted on the beads. While praying, many dedicated believers use this moment of peace to meditate on certain chapters of the Bible. Rosary beads can be obtained at Catholic bookstores and churches. While purchasing one, it may be good to purchase a booklet on praying the rosary, as well as meditations and articles relating to it. A rosary is a very personal object and praying the rosary can be an enlightening experience that encourages peoples belief in God and helps build inner strength. Rosary provides detailed information on Rosary, Rosary Beads, How To Pray The Rosary, Holy Rosary and more. Rosary is affiliated with Online Bible Study.
