Resurrecting the Perfect Resume, Part One
Is your resume dead? Don’t be so quick to say, “No way!” Of the hundreds of resumes I’ve seen written by job seekers of all backgrounds and educational levels, easily 95% qualify to be labelled as dead-but-not-yet-buried. A dead resume lacks a clear structure or chronology, does not present or quantify achievements, fails to offer a “big picture” of what you would bring to the employer and is impersonal rather than expressive. Worse yet, a dead resume fails to win you the response you’re hoping for from the employer: an invitation for a job interview. To win more job interviews and dramatically increase th

Many consultants tend to forget what the tool was created for and use the tool because "at this point in the analysis, this is the tool that needs to be used".

Free Proxy Surfing - Essential In Our Days
Today more and more people use the Internet, because all we need to know is just a click away. The Internet is a very efficient and quick way of finding information about almost everything. However, there is also a bad side to the Internet and that is that you are exposed to hackers and your every step on the net can be monitored.Because privacy, Internet crime, hacking were becoming more and more of an issue and many people were afraid to use the Internet because of the consequences, free proxy surfing sounded like a dream, something that had to be done. If software was designed to insure the privacy, the anonymity of th

Bill Clinton's campaign headquarters was adorned with the words, "It's the economy stupid!" James Carville, Bill Clinton's political strategist in the 1992 election, placed a sign over his desk in the Little Rock headquarters: 'It's the economy, Stupid!' For a campaigner fixed on a need for a central theme, the sign encapsulated a pointed response to the question 'What is the campaign about?'."

The leaders of many organisations need to remember something similar as they get involved in day to day decision making. Perhaps a direct steal, "It's the business stupid!" would work. The need for clarity of purpose is relevant in day to day business and is also relevant when confronted with people bearing consultant tools. That goes double for consultants.

A Tale Of Two Companies
Yesterday, Singapore’s exchange market was rife with speculation about a possible merger of the two land transport giants: ComfortDelGro and SMRT. As a result, their share prices skyrocketed between 5.9% and 6.6% at closing.ComfortDelGro is the “world’s second largest public listed land transport company with a fleet of more than 40,000 vehicles”.

How To Shorten The Selling Cycle And Reduce Buying Stalls
The main reason for buyer resistance and selling stalls boils down to one simple fact: the reasons for not buying are bigger to the prospect than the reason to buy.If you sell an intangible product or service, it may be even tougher to close down a sale because your product or service is not something people can see, touch, or feel. So the reasons for your prospects to buy have to be vivid, logical, and emotional. There has to be a reason for them to buy NOW, or they’ll put off making the decision until later.When you sit down with a prospect, ask a lot of questions about the prospect related to your product or se

Private Labeled Bottled Water for the Hospitality and Lodging Industry
The Hospitality and Lodging Industry in the United States is booming with strong growth in overall revenues and average price per room. Notwithstanding external factors such as international terrorism and the rapid rise in fuel costs, most industry forecasts predict continued growth in revenue.Recent studies show however, that the industry suffers from a considerable loss in revenue and profits because of ineffective differentiation of service offerings and branding. This trend is recent because historically hotel customers have demonstrated brand loyalty.Private label drinking water has been proven to be a powerfu

Web Directory Unveiled
One of the most important and determining factors in the success of any web site is the use of the search engine optimization techniques. The web masters aim for their sites to be to be among the highest and fastest ones listed on any possible search engine.One way link building can be easily achieved by using web directory submission. Of course, this is easy for a person who knows what he or she is doing! So, for those of you that are not perfectly aware of what this consists of, I will begin by setting some things straight from the start. It is a commonly known fact that the search engine spiders are nothing but computer

Many consultants tend to forget what the tool was created for and use the tool because "at this point in the analysis, this is the tool that needs to be used". The problem also befalls many people in businesses who have been trained to use tools at a business analysis course or some other training programme.

A simple example which I see all the time in my consulting experiences in Fiji is the SWOT analysis tool. SWOT standing for Strengths, Weaknesses, threats and Opportunities. A simple tool used at some stage by most organisations in analysing their business.

Too often the tool is used as a showpiece in a presentation or a business plan rather than an analytical tool to assist in developing strategies for the business.

In its proper use, an organisation will analyse its strengths as its resources and capabilities that can be used as a basis for developing a competitive advantage. Examples include pa
