It's about time I can finally wear my black shoes.

It's been a while for an update :D

Tomorrow, July 28, 2010, is my first ever job interview. It is from a company called Virtual Assistant Technology. Being a first timer, of course I'm nervous. But no fear, I know I can do this as I already experienced having an interview during my college's days.

Having a 9k+ starting salary is a must for me. I have my wants list waiting to be bought when my salary comes.

Formal attire is must for a formal interview. All I need to prepare is myself and my "engrish" hehe.

Anyway, good luck for me. :D

It's so Hard to be Healthy....

By courtesyBy courtesyIn this age of instancy nowadays, living a healthy life is no longer an easy thing to do. You wish to be healthy, but those fast food outlets keep waving those tempting tastes. Not to mention having snacks that contain MSG. Plus smoking, staying up overnights or even sleeping all the time, alcohol, pollution, drugs, and many more health destruction materials that surround us. How can we be healthy?
But, you really want to be healthy, don't you? Then the following things below might be useful for you to know. Enjoy reading!

1. Hot dogs. Because this food contains nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition recommends that children not to consume more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, it is suggested to buy products that do not contain sodium nitrates.
2. Processed meat. This one also has the same contents with the hot dogs. Processed meats increase the risk of heart diseases and cause cancer.
3. Donuts. This kind of light meals also can cause cancer. Because, it is made from flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at such high temperatures.

4. French Fries. As well as donuts, french fries is made using hydrogenated oils, and fried at such high temperatures. French fries also contains cancer-causing acryl amides which are formed during the frying process.
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies. Because of these snacks are usually made using flours and sugar. Although the labels listed oil-free, but still, these foods contain saturated oil.

Habits that can damage the brain:
1. Not having breakfast. People who usually don't have breakfast are going to have low blood sugar levels, which will cause a reduced supply of nutrients to the brain, causing brain degeneration.

2. Eat too much. This behavior will cause the brain arteries to become hardened, which will reduce the mental strength.
3. Smoking. This unhealthy habit will lead to double-narrowing of the brain, and will cause Alzheimer's symptom (senile).
4. Too much sugar consumption. Excessive intakes of sugar will interrupt the absorption of protein and nutrients that can cause lack of nutrients which interferes with the brain development.
5. Air pollution. The brain is the biggest user of oxygen in the body. Inhaling air pollution will reduce the supply of oxygen to the brain, and will reduce the brain's working efficiency.
6. Too much sleep. Proper sleep will rest the brain. Too much sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Covering head while sleeping. Sleeping with the head covered will increase the concentration of carbon dioxide and reduce the concentration of oxygen that can cause brain damage.
8. Making the brain works in times of illness. Working too hard or studying in times of illness can lead to reduce effectiveness of the brain and can cause brain damage.
9. Lack of mind stimulations. Thinking is the best way for the brain. The lack of stimulations in the brain can cause constrictions in the brain.
10. Rarely speak. Intellectual conversations can increase the brain working efficiency.
The main causes of liver damage:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main causes.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Not having breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medications.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food colorings, and artificial sweeteners.
7. Using unhealthy cooking oil. Try to decrease the oil use when frying, although using the best cooking oil such as olive oil. Do not eat fried food when the body is tired, except when the body is fit enough.
By 
courtesyBy courtesy8. Eating overcooked food can also cause liver damage. Vegetables are better be eaten raw or ¾ cooked. Stir-fry vegetables should be spent on one meal, do not be stored.
We can prevent the disease without having to spend more. We just need to adopt the ways of living and healthy eating habits daily.
Keeping good eating habits and adjust the schedule is very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to the body 'schedule'.
Pay very good attention to your health, and spread this information to the people you care about.

What NOT to do: 7 ways to ruin your resume

In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, the average recruiter will have plowed through six resumes. (We know; we timed one.) Want to increase the chances of your resume making it to the next round? Then don’t do any of these seven things, which recruiters say — more than anything — make them want to push the “shred” button.

1. Apply for a job for which you are not remotely qualified Many candidates believe the job hunt is a numbers game — drop enough resumes, and you’re bound to land something. But shotguns are for hunting pheasant, not finding jobs. The reality is that recruiters hate wasting time on resumes from unqualified candidates. Morgan Miller, an executive recruiter at StaffMark, recalls the security guard who applied to be a financial risk manager (maybe Lehman should have hired him), while Scott Ragusa at Winter, Wyman talks of the aerial photographer who sought out a position as a tax specialist.
“Sorting through unqualified resumes is frustrating, unproductive and puts an extra burden on staff,” says Katherine Swift, Senior Account Director at KCSA Strategic Communications in Natick, Mass. “It also makes it much more challenging to find the right candidate.” So the next time you’re thinking of blasting out resumes to all 60 of the job listings on Monster.com that have the word “finance” in them , save your time (and that of the recruiters) and only apply for ones for which you’re qualified.







2. Include a lofty mission statement More than ever, today’s savage job market is about the company, not the candidate. As such, mission or objective statements — particularly ones with an applicant’s hopes, dreams, and health insurance aspirations — will dispatch otherwise fine resumes to the circular file. Employers don’t care about how they can solve your problems — certainly not before they’ve met you and possibly not even after they’ve hired you. Instead, write an “objectives” statement that explains specifically how your skills and experience will help the company you’re applying to, not the other way around. And be very clear about what kind of job you’re seeking.

3. Use one generic resume for every job listing To stand out amongst the sea of resumes that recruiters receive, yours must speak to each and every specific position, even recycling some of the language from the job description itself. Make it obvious that you will start solving problems even before you’ve recorded your outgoing voicemail message. Your CV or query letter should include a just touch of industry lingo — sufficient to prove you know your stuff but not so much that you sound like a robot. And it should speak to individual company issues and industry challenges, with specifics on how you have personally improved customer loyalty, efficiency, and profitability at past jobs, says workplace and performance consultant Jay Forte. Plus, each morsel should be on point.
“Think hard about how to best leverage each piece of information to your job search advantage,” says Wendy Enelow, a career consultant and trainer in Virginia. “Nothing in your resume should be arbitrary, from what you include in your job descriptions and achievement statements, to whether your education or experience comes first [recent grads may want to put education first] to how you format your contact information.”

4. Make recruiters or hiring managers guess how exactly you can help their client Sourcing experts want to know — immediately — what someone can offer, and they won’t spend time noodling someone’s credentials. “Animal, vegetable or mineral? Doctor, lawyer or Indian chief?That’s what I’m wondering every time I open a resume. If it takes me more than a split second to figure this out, I feel frustrated,” says Mary O’Gorman, a veteran recruiter based in Brooklyn.

5. Don’t explain how past experience translates to a new position Though candidates should avoid jobs where they have no experience, they absolutely should pursue new areas and positions if they can position their experience effectively. A high school English teacher applying for new jobs, for example, can cite expertise in human resource management, people skills, record keeping, writing, and training, says Anthony Pensabene, a professional writer who works with executives.
“Titles are just semantics; candidates need to relate their ‘actual’ skills and experiences to the job they’re applying for in their resume,” Pensabene says. An applicant who cannot be bothered to identify the parallels between the two likely won’t be bothered with interviews, either.

6. Don’t include a cover letter with your resume A cover letter should always accompany a resume — even if it’s going to your best friend. And that doesn’t mean a lazy “I’m _____ and I’m looking for a job in New York; please see my attached resume.” Says Lindsay Olson, a partner at Manhattan’s Paradigm Staffing: “I’d like to know why you are contacting me (a particular position, referral, etc.), a short background about yourself, and a career highlight or two. It’s important to attempt to set yourself apart from the competition.”

7. Be careless with details Reckless job hunters rarely make for conscientious workers. As such, even promising resumes must abide by age-old dictums: typo-free, proper organization, and no embellishment. Susan Whitcomb, author of Resume Magic: Trade Secrets of a Professional Resume Writer, says that almost 80 percent of HR managers she surveyed said they would dismiss otherwise qualified candidates who break these rules. She tells the story of one would-be employer who, when looking for an assistant, decided not to hire anyone because every resume she received contained typos.
“With a 6-to-1 ratio of jobseekers-to-jobs in the current marketplace, you can’t afford to make mistakes with your resume,” Whitcomb says.

PaPlug lang! haha

Earlier while I am cleaning my cache and bookmarked links, I stumbled upon this two links and made me reminisce for a while.

So for a little randomness you can check some of the websites I created during my college years:

2nd year contest
4th year last semester

The first link I gave was originally created by me from scratch (although I downloaded some templates from the other websites). And I made it all by myself with no one teaching me. Noob at everything from flash,dreamweaver etc. So I really can't believe that I did this.

The second link was from a competition from school. With the help of Kuya Rawn, I managed to beautify my website and made me a champion :)) But of course the coding /nosebleed. I can't really recall what I have done this time :))
