Sample Resume for Job Opening

Have a resume that will get their attention in terms of the elements of the layout that will invite them to read it.

1. Include active verbs to engage the reader and get them involved
2. Include what the applicant can do, skills they have acquired and lessons they have learned in past companies
3. Emphasize what they have contributed to companies in the past. How were they valuable to specific projects and the daily operations of the company?
4. Not just list jobs and responsibilities, but what they have accomplished, learned, and contributed to their last companies.
5. Employers are looking for any reason not to hire so grammatical errors will put a submitted resume into the trash.
6. Many times it more about the presentation of the resume than of the contents.
7. People are looking for a quality person that is trainable and teachable.
8. Do research on each company and be genuinely interested in their company and what you can do for them

10 Health-Enhancing Herbs for Christmas

Many common herbs and plants have medicinal properties. Here are a few that may come in handy over the festive period.

You don’t have to be in Harry Potter’s Herbology class to learn about the healing powers of plants and herbs.  These may be useful over the forthcoming festive period.

Sandalwood – will cure pimples, soften skin and iron out wrinkles.  You'll be ready to party.

Thyme – if you’re feeling stressed with all the hype make yourself a mini bonfire of thyme leaves on Christmas morning.  The smoke is said to lift depression and anxiety.

Ginger – if you’re on the move over the festive period, stem ginger not only tastes good but combats travel sickness too.

Sage – is not just for stuffing the turkey.  Mix the leaves with honey to make an energy-giving infusion.

Lemon balm – if all the excitement gets a bit much try a mug of lemon balm tea to banish a tension headache.

Liquorice – now you’re shot of your headache, liquorice reputedly has aphrodisiac properties.  It even gets a mention in the Kama Sutra – be careful with the liquorice allsorts!

Peppermint oil – if you’ve over-indulged on the mince pies a few drops will help combat upset stomachs and flatulence.

Lavender – a few drops on your pillow will help you to sleep.  Or it will make lying awake more pleasant.

Fennel – a few seeds dropped into hot water will help if you wake up next day with a hangover.
