Amazing Top 10 Super Job Interview Tips

It's a tough job market out there today. And getting the job you want requires more than just a killer resume. In other words, you can't just sell yourself on paper. You also have to be able to do it in person--in a face-to-face job interview.

Here are a few interview tips to help you make a great impression on the person who interviews you.

1. Market your skills and related experience in the field that you are applying for. Be sure to do it in a way that is positive, but not cocky or aggressive.

2. Research the company before your interview. It's a great way to know where you would fit into the organization. It also lets the employer know that you really want to be a part of the company.

3. Prepare answers to common interview questions ahead of time, and practice saying them, so you aren't stumped during the interview.

4. Dress for success, in the manner you would dress for the position you're seeking.

5. Bring a list of your own questions with you in a folder with the company's name on it, so that you don't forget them. You should keep your extra resumes in there too.

6. Be a good listener and focus. Some job seekers talk too much during interviews.

7. Be prepared to describe your weaknesses as strengths. For example, saying that you are overenthusiastic about performing at your best.

8. Make eye contact with your interviewer.

9. Don't volunteer your personal opinions to your interviewer about any subjects unless you are asked. Read more at http://online-articles.org/careers-employment/site-map.php

Amazing Rules of Flirting!!

Rules of Flirting...

Frankly speaking flirting is an art and you need special skills to master it. You do not have to be some beauty queen or a celebrity to make guys fall for you and go gaga over you. All you need is your gorgeous smile and few guaranteed flirting tips like the ones you'll find below to attract the opposite sex.

Rule 1 # Eyes have it all:
Look in the eyes with the person you're flirting with for a full five to six seconds, then smile and drop your gaze. Please don't stare at him and make him feel embarrassed. Just give him a soft smoldering look and look away. Do this at least three times in a ten to fifteen-minute period. This way you will make him know that you are interested and approachable.

Rule 2 # Smile:
Smiling is absolutely the most effective tool in your flirting toolbox. Psychology and body language experts agree that one of the most important things you can do to make yourself more attractive (and approachable) is to smile.

Rule 3 # Expose your neck:
One of the most winning flirting techniques a woman can use is the exposure of her neck. This can be done with a head tilt to one side, the classic hair flip or the over-the-shoulder glance. According to body language experts this asymmetrical position attracts attention, exposes your neck, and makes a woman very attractive and sexy. The over-the-shoulder move also sends a signal to your target that he is worth a second look.

Rule 4 # Lip Service:
Both men and women are subconsciously attracted to red, moist lips because they signal youth, sex and fertility. Always wear a red lipstick which not only gives your lips that youthful colour, but also makes your smile more visible and your teeth whiter. A super-shiny lip gloss can also give you an advantage, making your lips look moist and kissable.


Rule 5 # Focus, Focus, Focus:
Once you and your flirting target have started talking, use these tips to deepen the attraction. First, smile and maintain eye contact as you are speaking, and focus all of your attention on what he is saying. If you aren't listening then that shows that you are not interested. Smiling and laughing are crucial here - it's the quickest, easiest way to put another person at ease and make a connection. Finally, another effective flirting technique is low-level touching such as brushing the shoulder or elbow.

"We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever."

Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one
and all.

Never take some one for granted, Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones." Remember this always in life.

China's 'Sky Train’ chugging to Tibet – Its Amazing

You may call it the newest Wonder of the World, because it is awe-inspiring to watch. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which begins operation today, is like an iron dragon soaring on the Roof of the World. It is rightly called the "Sky Train." The 1,142-kilometer railway, which took four years to complete, is the last section of the 1,956-km Qingzang (Qinghai-Tibet) Railway from Xining to Lhasa, respectively the capital of Qinghai and Tibet. The first section, from Xining to Golmud, has been in operation since 1984.


Tickets for the inaugural run, from Beijing to Lhasa, were sold out a couple of hours after they were put for sale on Wednesday. For many people, the trip is one to Wonderland.

It is the world's highest railway. Most parts of the new track from Golmud to Lhasa are located more than 4,000 meters above sea level, with the highest points at 5,072 meters. Construction of the US$5.5 billion railway was difficult because of the formidable challenge of frozen tundra, thin air and environmental protection.

It's nothing short of a miracle that these problems were overcome. Now, Tibet, which sits on the roof of the world, is no longer an isolated Shangri-la. It is integrated into the rest of the world culturally, socially and economically. It is estimated that nearly 3,000 passengers will arrive in Lhasa each day by train equipped with sealed, oxygenated cars manufactured by Canada's Bombardier Inc. Tibet will never be the same with the operation of the Sky Train -- the first railway to one of China's Autonomous Regions.

It goes without saying that the railway will "hugely boost local development and benefit the local people," as Beijing claims, but it is also true that this strategically-situated region on mainland China's southwest border will come under closer and tighter control of Beijing. More Han people outside Tibet will move to the region dominated for centuries by Tibetans who had enjoyed de facto independence before its "liberation" in 1950 by Mao Zedong's People's Liberation Army.

"Sky Train" is not an ordinary railway. It is going to bring changes in Tibet that will benefit indigenous Tibetans. Beijing's influence over the region and its neighboring areas, including India, Nepal and Bhutan, will increase. India, in particular, could become a closer ally of China in a new world order following the rise of China and India.

Mainland China's infrastructure buildup in the past two decades is stunning. It took only four years to build the Sky Train, the new wonder of the world. Or look at the Three Georges Dam, which is bound to become another wonder on this planet. Or the 32.5 kilometer Donghai bridge near Shanghai, the world's longest sea-crossing bridge. New York Times' Pulitzer prize-winning columnist Nicholas Kristof has noted that the crane is everywhere in China and it has become the country's "national bird."

Here in Taiwan, there has been no significant construction project since the completion of the 10 Major Projects more than 20 years ago. Except, of course, the just-dedicated 12.9 km Snow Mountain Tunnel, which took 15 years to build. The situation in Taiwan today seems like the mainland's Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, while the mainland today is similar to Taiwan's in the 1970s when miracles were created one by one. It's sad to note that the situation is now reversed.
