How to Prepare Your CV
Preparing your own Curriculum Vitae can seem a daunting task, quite apart from what to put in and what to leave out, describing your own strengths and abilities isn’t easy. What we have tried to do with the following guidelines is to make the whole process a much easier one and ensure that you end up with a professional document which shows you how to pitch your skills and stand out from the crowd, but without going over the top. In the current economic and employment climate, employers are looking to consistently improve on productivity and match a prospective employee’s skills and experience with the job needs, both now and in the future.
Presentation and layout
• Always ensure that your CV is laser-printed on white, good quality paper, use a clean typeface and don’t go smaller than 12 point.
• The use of sub-headings (e.g. Personal profile, Career history, etc.) will help potential employers glean the information they require with ease.
• There should be clear spaces between category headings for easy clarification and definition.
• Your name, address and phone number(s) should form the start of the document. If you are giving a work number add the following - “please use with discretion.”
• Commencing with your present or most recent employer, state your career history. Then list your professional qualifications. If you have been working for many years list your academic qualifications and a very brief mention as to your College or Schooling.
• If you are just commencing your working life, having previously been a student, provide more in depth information regarding your academic achievements.
Content
Begin with a bold profile about yourself and your abilities – give the reader a snapshot of the person you are and the skills you possess. Keep it short, objective and make sure you can back up the statements at your interview. Starting with your current or most recent employment provide details of your position as follows:
• Job title
• Time that you have held this position
• The key tasks and responsibilities that comprise this role’s requirements
• Notable achievements whilst in the role
• Where possible quantify your achievements with precise facts and figures, e.g. Managed junior staff, handled department budget, prepared management reports
• Expand on the skills you are using in your current job which you believe will be valuable in the position(s) for which you are applying
It is not necessary to state the reason you are leaving your current position. This will be a topic for conversation when you are invited for interview or can be covered in your letter of application. For all previous employment, unless one appointment was more significant than your current or last position, keep details brief i.e. the name of the company, job title, period of employment and the job. Be sure there are no gaps in your career history - unless for example you took a year out to travel, in which case make reference to this under Interests/Hobbies.
If you are a student just starting work, give any evidence you can to demonstrate your practical skills e.g. school prefect, event organiser, member of sports team, contributor to your college magazine, or voluntary work. You are under no obligation to disclose marital status, age or whether or not you have children unless these are specific criteria for selection for a position that you are interested in.
Consider what examples (Interests/ Hobbies) you can give to show that you match the selection criteria. If they want someone to work in a team, remember to say if you belong to a local organisation or if you are part of a sports team. If they want someone who will work on their own for large periods of time, make reference to an Open University course you are considering undertaking.
Your primary objective is to convince the prospective employer that you have the requisite skills, experience and hunger to do the job. Your CV should be no more than two A4 pages and as every employer is different remember to customise your CV to every job you go after.
Remember - this is ‘your’ opportunity to sell

[B][Foggy Wine Glasses Are Not The End Of The World!
Perhaps one of the most troubling problems which usually occurs that takes the enjoyment out of having a glass of wine is when even though your glasses are clean, look very foggy. We have all encountered it at one time or another and probably all can agree that there is something detracting about a foggy wine glass. Before you decide to throw out your glasses or invest in a set of inexpensive ones with the thought that fogging is inevitable so you might as well be ready to throw them away when the time comes, there are a few things that you can do to prevent fogging and bring back the glorious sparkle and shine to foggy glasses that you remember from when they were first purchased.

I know that some think that it’s perfectly all right to put wine glasses in the dishwasher, and some machines even have special sections on the top rack to hold wine glass stems in place. We all know that crystal should never be put in the dishwasher, so I assume said stem holders are for everyday glasses. My dishwasher has them and I still won’t use it to wash wine glasses. Why? There are two main reasons for this, the first is that dishwasher detergent tends to be a lot more harsh and abrasive and can etch your wine glasses making it fog with repeated washing, and second is that the temperature in a dishwasher can become so hot that it can actually cause a glass to crack.

With that being said, when washing wine glasses by hand the best method is actually quite simple, especially since you should be able to simply rinse out yours glasses to clean them. First, it is important to remember to use lukewarm water and not hot water. Abrasive cleaning agents should be avoided at all costs; and if you feel the need to use soap it is best to only use mild liquid dish soap. Remember to never use hard scrubbing sponges and cloths and to rinse the glasses thoroughly or the soap will leave a film deposit which will fog with build up and time and thus defeats the purpose of taking care when washing your glasses.

If you have taken care of your glasses and hand-washed them and still find they are starting to fog, there is still something you can do. Soak the foggy glasses in straight white vinegar for two to three hours. Then wash with warm water and mild liquid dish soap and repeat the soaking process if necessary to remove the remaining residue. It might be a bit of a time consuming process, but it will be worth it in the end when you have sparkling glasses that look beautiful!

Tough questions
Some questions just floor you. No matter how much preparation you've done, wandering around their website and reading the Financial Times for weeks, there are interview questions which will turn your well-modulated voice into a gibbering babble.
Management consultancies are famed for asking horribly long-winded questions requiring weeks of preparatory work. One currently being asked by one firm involves a failing airline, reward cards and the tourism potential of a small South American country. Another has asked interviewees to choose between being reincarnated as a rabbit or a snake. Quick! A slimy reptile or a stupid fluffyhead? Think, think!
But according to the recruitment professionals, there are ways to prepare for and tackle the unknown. The key is remembering that all interviewers - however fiendishly mean their questions - want to hire you. They want to fill the post and they want to reassure themselves they've picked the right shortlist. Even when they do the "good cop, bad cop" routine, as Michael, a computer analyst for an investment bank, remembers.
"One would ask me something perfectly reasonable about my degree course, while the other would leap forward and say something like 'do you mean to say the course contained no business modelling? How will you be able to do this job without it!' I felt like my integrity was being challenged and I became quite defensive, crossing my arms and almost arguing with him," Michael recounts. "I suspect they were testing me under pressure - and it worked."
Interview pressure can be worse than anything they throw at you on the job. Some questions tend to pop up again and again and "Tell me something about yourself" is one of them: a green light to babble on about your love of wood-whittling and Renaissance poetry. Resist the urge! Focus on the three or four key things on your CV you want them to remember and talk about those.
"Where do you see yourself in five years time?" is another classic, but it's surprising how many of us flounder about and mumble something like: "Oh, doing this job and really enjoying it." The interviewer may be easily pleased, but they're more likely to chalk you up as a low-achiever or unimaginative.
You could take the opposite tack and answer "Doing your job": bold, but risky. A better, if vague, answer is: "Building on my successes here and moving up within the company."
But some can't be dodged by mellifluous generalisations. Fiendishly technical questions - "What would you deduce from a down-swing in the energy current and a fluctuation of ohm levels, followed by a faint burning smell?" may either have to be bluffed through with confidence - or with a simple admission that you don't know.
Asking a question about the question will give you time to think. There will always be questions that have the potential to leave you gaping and blank. But it helps to keep in mind that the motivation for all questions boils down to three basic tenets: can you do the job, will you do the job and will you fit in here?
Angling answers to the first by telling them about your skills and abilities, the second by demonstrating enthusiasm and the third with your track record of teamwork will help keep you focused under pressure.

Some more favourite tough questions:
1. Why do you want to work here?
2. Describe for us your ethics.
3. Why are manhole covers round?
4. Tell me how you handled a confrontation with a co-worker
5. What went wrong in your last job, then?
6. Describe a situation in which your work was criticised.
7. Tell us about the last time you lost your temper.
8. If you were the boss, what would you change about this company?

What is RSS?
RSS is technology - a simple software program - that allows you to access web and blog content automatically. The acronym's most popular translation is "Really Simple Syndication. Once your browser or computer has an RSS reader on board, you can subscribe to any number of RSS "feeds." A feed is simply a way in which a reader may subscribe to website content - most commonly blogs or news sites. A news site, for example, may list their latest headlines or entire articles in their feed every time a new article is published. A blog would publish this feed as a series of recent posts.

Feeds are published by millions of publishers, from small individuals to large organizations like Newsweek. The value of a feed is that it brings the most current site content to you in a format that is easily scanned; further, you are spared the task of visiting each source site each day. This is typically done through the use of what is called an 'aggregator' or 'feed reader'.

Feed readers or RSS readers, are software programs that run on your computer (or PDA or phone); let you easily subscribe to feeds, and allow you to read through them efficiently. Some are relatively simple, showing the headline and summary. The fancier ones often work with (or in) your browser to make viewing the material look much like the source page. Once you have a reader on your computer, subscribing to a feed with is an easy click or drag from your browser. Sites that provide RSS feeds will usually have a button for that purpose.

There are several RSS feed formats as well as one with an entirely different methodology called Atom. Atom has become popular with some bloggers and blogging tools. Some aggregators can read both. The other acronyms you will see in "feedspeak" are XML, which stands for 'extensible markup language' and is the code standard for these simple text feeds. An 'OPML" file is a format for indexing hierarchical feed lists. If you dive into this web habit in a big way, your aggregator or reader may keep your subscription list in an OPML file.

An RSS feed is a great method for staying abreast of issues and topics that interest you. There are a number of feed "libraries," so to speak, from which you can learn what's out there in your areas of interest. Google has a built-in reader that makes the subscription process easy, as does Yahoo. Firefox has a downloadable extension for the purpose of aggregating RSS feeds, as well as a default ability to save RSS feeds as "live bookmarks" that update via the RSS feed. You can download a number of stand alone readers and aggregators; you can find them through a simple web search.

The whole RSS "movement" is a step towards utilizing the Internet more efficiently. The trick is to avoid overloading your email inbox with daily reports that you end up ignoring most of the time. For that purpose, there are sites like Feedster that will search millions of RSS feeds for articles that are relevant to your interests. Like any search tool, however, these services are hit and miss. They are still working off keywords and sometimes what they find is relevant, sometimes not. But if you want daily news broken into categories, it's great technology once you learn how to make it work for you.
