ATTITUDE!!! EXCELLENT SHORT STORY :))

Posted by Varumana- Usha

 Hi friends,


                   Good Morning. Here is a short Story about "ATTITUDE".


 
          A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and ask him for a Phone Call. 

Shop-owner replied sweetly this is not a STD, but you can do one call.The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn."

"Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now." replied boy.

The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her lawn.

The little boy found more perseverance and offered, "Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of North-Palm beach, Florida ."

Again the woman answered in the negative.

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver.

The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy and said," Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."

The little boy replied, "No thanks, I was just checking my performance with the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was talking to her......

How to Ask for a Raise in a Recession???

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,


                Are you asking for the Raise in your Concern? Then first go through this and see to it you fit in all the needs to ask them. 

            The current economic climate doesn’t exactly lend itself to asking for a raise.With all the talk of bailouts, budget cuts and layoffs (not to mention undue bonuses), many an employee is wary of asking for more money. But what if you deserve a raise?

1. Assess your company’s financial health.


          Understand the goals of your company and the challenges it is trying to mitigate. Take into account your company’s standing in the industry.  If your company is struggling to stay in business, it is probably not the best time to ask for a raise.

2. Assess your skills and accomplishments.


       Make a list of all your accomplishments and write down how you contribute to your company or professional team. Be specific.Show them their cost-savings by promoting you over hiring a new employee. “If you can explain how the company can save in the long-term by promoting you, you’ve put yourself in a good position to get a raise.”

      Above all, make sure you know where you stand compared to others in your industry. Compare yourself to other people in the organization and to people with the competition as well. Are they doing the same tasks as you and getting paid more money to do it? Or are they doing more for less?

Another important question to ask: Can you be easily replaced? “If there is a lineup of 100 people who can do what you do better, then you probably don’t have much bargaining power".

Thinking about switching careers?

Posted by Varumana- Usha

 Hi friends,


          Are you Thinking about switching careers?


             With today’s challenging economy, and the renewed focus on job security as a result, assisting has become a popular second career choice. With an estimated need for nearly 340,000 assistants and secretaries in America by 2016, office professionals are not getting laid-off or fired like others struggling professions. The intense demand for assistants also gives students leverage regarding starting salary and location of employment. Assisting is an exciting and dynamic career, where you can utilize technical and organizational skills while letting your sociable personality shine.

While assisting is a desirable profession, many people still have concerns if a career change is right for them.Every year, thousands of people make the decision to switch to other career , not just because it is rewarding work with competitive salaries and room for promotion, but because the office support industry is one of the few industries not affected by an unstable economy. 

5 Ways to Free Yourself From Overcommitment!!

Posted by Varumana- Usha

 Hi friends,



      What is Over Committment?  
To bind or obligate (oneself, for example) beyond the capacity for realization. How to prevent it? Here are some ways..


 To prevent overcommitting, you have to learn to say “no”. For many, especially you ladies out there (you know who you are) saying “no” is akin to getting a root canal. It’s thoroughly unnatural and completely painful.

Here are five  strategies and techniques to help you say “no” and free yourself from the stress of overcommitment, once and for all.

1. Know your priorities.

           Being clear about what is truly important to you is the first step to saying no. When you know what you want out of life, you’ll be more deliberate about how you spend your time. It will be easier to see when obligations, tasks and responsibilities fit into your ideal life plan, and when they don’t.

2. Know your bosses priorities.

        OK you say, “But it’s not me. It’s my boss. He just keeps piling on the work. How can I tell my boss ‘no’ without getting fired or passed over for promotion?” Good question. Again, let’s get back to priorities. Do you know your bosses priorities? Do you know the priorities of your boss’ boss?

3. Say no for now.

           If your boss plops a new project on your lap, look for ways to postpone starting the project – if your plate is already full. Try an approach like this: “That sounds like a great project. I can see the positive impact it would have on our organization. I’d love to start working on it in a month, after I have wrapped up projects X and Y. Are you agreeable with that?” You’ll show your boss your impeccable time management skills and how in sync you are with your organization’s goals. And he or she never had to hear the word “no” – how great is that?

4. Know how to say no.

               Say things like “Thank you for the offer, but I’ll have to pass this time.” Or “Thank you, but that doesn’t fit in my schedule right now.” Having some pre-rehearsed, friendly ways of saying “no” will help you muster the courage to decline offers graciously when you want to and need to.

5. Approach no from a position of power.

             Instead of saying “I can’t do this” say “this doesn’t fit my priorities right now.” When you say “I can’t” the words themselves feel powerless. By realizing something doesn’t fit your priorities and turning it down, you’re putting yourself in a position of power: the power to make decisions that help you get what you want out of life.


               Using these five techniques you will free yourself from the stress of too much to do and create time to do what you enjoy … like just hanging out with your family or playing ball in the front yard. Doesn’t that sound nice? Just say “no” and you can have it, too!

College Life

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,

             College is a time of extreme freedom but, let’s face it, not everything about college screams unfettered space. Students don’t usually have a lot of extra money and that means that their personal space is limited.

            According to the 2000 census, about 2 million students were crashing in dormitories or residence halls. The 2010 census is not yet complete, but expect to see those numbers balloon with an increase of college attendance coupled with a recession keeping people out of the labor market and in school.


          At college, as in life, we occasionally become bored with the task at hand. Maybe we don’t really care about how igneous rocks formed when magma cooled intrusively or extrusively, or why the answer to this math problem is theta instead of cosine.

         Not everything we learn in college is fun.. School is expensive and working part-time doesn’t exactly cover all the bills. Nationally, about 66% of students who graduate with a Bachelor’s degree do so with $23,000 dollars in student loans. In the credit card department, the average senior carries a balance of more than $4,100 dollars. Unfortunately, 20% of students matriculate with more than $7,000 dollars charged against their little plastic pals.


                                   So,enjoy College Life!!

    TIPS FOR CIVIL SERVICE INTERVIEW

    Posted by Varumana- Usha


    Hi,

                      Preparation for the Interview is a continuous process. This involves a wide reading of books, journals, magazines and at least two newspapers. One should try to improve his/her conversational skills with the right pronunciation. 

                     The candidate should be prepared to answer questions on his background, hobbies and extra curricular activities. It is a good idea to discuss current affairs and recent issues with friends. One good way of rehearsing possible questions would be to have mock interviews and discussion groups. The candidate should make a self analysis of his strengths and weaknesses and make a conscious effort to play on his strengths.
     

    Some useful tips for a successful interview at UPSC are:

    1. To have a positive body language
    2. To have a good personal turnout and ensuring the right posture
    3. To answer questions clearly and confidently
    4. Try to remain calm and composed even when faced with provocative questions
    5. Try not getting into long winded explanations and answer to the point.

    Things To Be Avoided at the UPSC Interview:

    • Avoid the expression, 'I am sorry.'
    • Avoid conversational cliches, like: 'as you know', 'that's correct', 'of course', 'indeed', 'obviously', etc.
    • Avoid technical jargon. However, if a member continues to probe you in any technical field, you can use technical expressions.
    • Maintain a cheerful disposition. Now and then you can appear serious; but most of the time keep smiling or look cheerful and composed. One caution here: if the board laughs, you should only smile. It is only when you maintain some amount of distance that the board begins to wonder about the depth of your personality.
    • Do not give long introductions. Come straight to the heart of the matter.
    • Show human concern whenever possible in your answers.
    • You should be logically consistent and analyse things rationally while talking. You are supposed to defend what you say, but with due respect to the views of the board. Stop trying to defend an answer if it becomes difficult to do so logically and fairly.
    • Do not make hasty or sweeping generalisations.
               According to UPSC report, it has been observed that from 1979 onwards, 90 percent of the candidates who qualify for interview hover around the minimal percentage of 55 percent that is prescribed for the test. However to be assured of a Class I service, one has to generally obtain about 58 percent marks. It has been noticed that only those, securing 60 percent and above are sure of getting a service of their own choice. The figures clearly reveal that the marks in the interview test play a determining role in final selection of candidates. 

                                        All the Best!!


    Difference between GSM AND CDMA?

    Posted by Varumana- Usha


    Hi friends,


                   Today let us discuss about an interesting topic: "Difference between GSM and CDMA IN MOBILE CONNECTION".


            In cellular service there are two main competing network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).Understanding the difference between GSM and CDMA will allow you to choose a carrier that uses the preferable network technology for your needs.

            The GSM Association is an international organization founded in 1987, dedicated to providing, developing, and overseeing the worldwide wireless standard of GSM. CDMA, a proprietary standard designed by Qualcomm in the United States, has been the dominant network standard for North America and parts of Asia. However, GSM networks continue to make inroads in the United States, as CDMA networks make progress in other parts of the world.


    Coverage: The most important factor is getting service in the areas you will be using your phone. Upon viewing competitors' coverage maps you may discover that only GSM or CDMA carriers offer cellular service in your area.


    Data Transfer Speed:
    With the advent of cellular phones doing double and triple duty as streaming video devices, podcast receivers and email devices, speed is important to those who use the phone for more than making calls. CDMA has been traditionally faster than GSM, though both technologies continue to rapidly leapfrog along this path. Both boast "3G" standards, or 3rd generation technologies.

    EVDO, also known as CDMA2000, is CDMA's answer to the need for speed with a downstream rate of about 2 megabits per second, though some reports suggest real world speeds are closer to 300-700 kilobits per second (kbps). 


              GSM's answer is EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), which boasts data rates of up to 384 kbps with real world speeds reported closer to 70-140 kbps. With added technologies still in the works that include UMTS (Universal Mobile Telephone Standard) and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), speeds reportedly increase to about 275—380 kbps. This technology is also known as W-CDMA, but is incompatible with CDMA networks. An EDGE-ready phone is required.

    Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards:
           In the United States only GSM phones use SIM cards. The removable SIM card allows phones to be instantly activated, interchanged, swapped out and upgraded, all without carrier intervention. The SIM itself is tied to the network, rather than the actual phone. Phones that are card-enabled can be used with any GSM carrier.

         The CDMA equivalent, a R-UIM card, is only available in parts of Asia but remains on the horizon for the U.S. market. CDMA carriers in the U.S. require proprietary handsets that are linked to one carrier only and are not card-enabled. To upgrade a CDMA phone, the carrier must deactivate the old phone then activate the new one. The old phone becomes useless.

    International Roaming:
                If you need to make calls to other countries, a GSM carrier can offer international roaming, as GSM networks dominate the world market. If you travel to other countries you can even use your GSM cell phone abroad, providing it is a quad-band phone (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). 


              By purchasing a SIM card with minutes and a local number in the country you are visiting, you can make calls against the card to save yourself international roaming charges from your carrier back home. CDMA phones that are not card-enabled do not have this capability, however there are several countries that use CDMA networks.


    The Worst Cover Letter Mistakes

    Posted by Varumana- Usha

    Hi friends,


                     A good cover letter is more important than you think. Perfectly excellent job candidates can lose out on a job because of a poorly focused, rushed cover letter. Avoid these top cover letter mistakes!
     
                
    A cover letter (like a resume) should be no longer than one page. You may think that you have so much experience you need more to effectively detail it. 

               
    The resume was impressive. The formatting was impeccable, the content was excellent, and he did a great job of focusing on accomplishments instead of job duties. If I were an employer, I would have been impressed.Then I looked at his cover letter and imagined the employer tossing that perfect resume into the trash bin.

                  Many people looking for jobs destroy their resumes by accompanying them with halfhearted or downright terrible cover letters. While some employers don’t bother reading cover letters, most do. And they will quickly eliminate you if you make these mistakes.

             Be sure your cover letter uses a standard business letter format. It should include the date, the recipient’s mailing address and your address.


    •  It may seem counter intuitive, but your cover letter, like your resume, should be about the employer as much as it’s about you. Yes, you need to tell the employer about yourself, but do so in the context of the employer’s needs and the specified job requirements.
    • The cover letter is really your best opportunity to show the employer why your experience matters to the job to which you are applying. This means that a cover letters emphasis should be on relevant skills, not the description of job duties, accomplishments or previous projects. Take a given project, for example, as a jumping off point (i.e. first sentence or clause) of a paragraph then explain what skills you gained from it that are meaningful to your prospective employer.
    • Employers tend to view typos and grammatical errors as evidence of your carelessness and inability to write. Proofread every letter you send. Have a friend who knows good writing double-check it for you.
    • There is no gray area here: You must include a well-written, neatly formatted cover letter with every resume you send. If you don’t, you won’t be considered for the job.

    Winter Beauty Tips and Tricks

    Posted by Varumana- Usha

    Hi friends,


          


          Winter had came.. Let me suggest u some "Winter Beauty Tips".. 

    1. If u have  Dark Circles under your eyes, wat is the Solution?

               For under eye circles, use a creamy emollient concealer. "The skin under your eyes is thinner, and it has fewer oil-producing glands,". So you need a moisturizing cover-up to make it go on smoothly and adhere well. The wrong formulation will dry and accentuate lines, so to help concealer go on smoothly and evenly, apply an eye cream first with your finger.Next, apply a thin layer of concealer over the entire under eye area, using a concealer brush. Layer on a second coat to lighten the darkness. Concentrate on the darkest part (often the inner corner to the middle of the eye), and blend it up into the lash line. To keep concealer from slipping into the crevices of skin, set it with powder before starting on the other eye.
      


       2. Wat about  Blemishes and Breakouts?

            When a pimple appears, place an ice pack on it for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce swelling, then pat the area dry and apply benzoyl peroxide cream or gel with a clean cotton swab.You can top it with concealer that also contains benzoyl peroxide. For blemishes and small spots, rely on sticky concealers, which come in compacts or tubes. For larger blotches or redness around the nose, use more watery liquid concealers (commonly sold in tubes), or try foundation.

              For pimples, remove flakes with a wet washcloth. Next, dab a medicated acne treatment on the pimple. "Work it into the skin until it disappears,". Next, with a brush, dot a tiny bit on the middle of the pimple. Using a clean finger, push (don't rub) it into the skin until it disappears. The key is to build thin layers. Set with a large brush and translucent powder.

    Steps to Becoming a Legal Secretary

    Posted by Varumana- Usha


    Hi friends,


                  You want to start a career in the legal field, you enjoy working with lawyers and judges, and you are naturally friendly and helpful. Expectantly, you are thinking about becoming a legal secretary. But where do you start? Follow the best step-by-step guide out there that takes you from conception to reality.

    The Job:

              Legal secretaries perform many of the same tasks as other secretaries, such as answering telephones and typing letters. Many of the documents they prepare must follow strict guidelines, so legal secretaries need to know the specialized formats for legal documents. 

             They also perform many critical office functions, including maintaining supplies and equipment, receiving, preparing and transmitting communications, planning conferences, receiving clients and instructing staff.

             Legal secretaries prepare correspondence and legal papers such as summonses, complaints, motions, responses and subpoenas under the supervision of an attorney or a paralegal. They also may review legal journals and assist with legal research – for example, by verifying quotes and citations in legal briefs.


    The Upsides:

    • An opportunity to be challenged. “I find my job to be exciting, since I learn something new on the job every day,”.

       Lawyers often have specialties, such as finance or real estate, so you can narrow your career goals by targeting a firm that matches your interests.
    • Interaction with clients.
    • Room for advancement if you go from a small to a large firm, or one area of law to another.
    • A wide range of settings to work in. “A number of corporations have legal divisions,”, "There are also many public sector jobs with courts and government agencies.
    • It’s a natural stepping stone to a career as a paralegal or even an attorney. In addition, it provides networking opportunities within a law firm, meaning you’ll have a leg up on being hired as a summer associate, should you end up in law school.

    The Downsides:

    • The environment is intrinsically nerve-racking. “Maybe there are some law practices that aren’t that stressful, but the majority of them involve a lot of stress due to so many deadlines,”, “Everyone also wants his work done yesterday.”

    • “Law schools don’t stress public or human relation skills,”  Sometimes lawyers know the law well, but they don’t know how to be good employers.

    • Every minute you waste costs money. Lawyers live or die by their annual billable hours to clients. Although as a legal secretary your hours aren’t generally included in their billing, the office may turn into a pressure cooker during busy times as lawyers stack up the hours to justify taking a vacation.



    Earth's Moon

    Posted by Varumana- Usha


    Hi friends,


    See this beautiful Picture of Moon taken by NASA..

           During its mission, the Galileo spacecraft returned a number of images of Earth's only natural satellite. Galileo surveyed the moon on Dec. 7, 1992, on its way to explore the Jupiter system in 1995-1997.

    This color mosaic was assembled from 18 images taken by Galileo's imaging system through a green filter. On the upper left is the dark, lava-filled Mare Imbrium, Mare Serenitatis (middle left), Mare Tranquillitatis (lower left), and Mare Crisium, the dark circular feature toward the bottom of the mosaic. Also visible in this view are the dark lava plains of the Marginis and Smythii Basins at the lower right. The Humboldtianum Basin, a 400-mile impact structure partly filled with dark volcanic deposits, is seen at the center of the image.

    AMAZING RECORD WINNING PERSONS

    Posted by Varumana- Usha



    Hi friends,

    LIFE IS FULL OF  FUN AND SURPRISES,SO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT!

    World’s Oldest Mother (70-year-old):
              Meet Rajo Devi Lohan, the Indian woman who, in November 2008, gave birth to her first child – at the age of 70. She said she had waited for more than 40 years for this child and that she plans to breastfeed her for at least three years. And, who knows, maybe she will.


    World’s Oldest Yoga Instructor (83-year-old):
            Yoga instructor Bette Calman may be 83, but she’s still bending over backwards to spread the benefits of the ancient Indian discipline. The nimble grandmother can really pull some shapes and with her set hair and pearl earrings she looks as glamorous as Greta Garbo in a pink jumpsuit. With 40 years of teaching under her belt, the Australian wonder is living proof that a lifetime’s dedication to yoga will keep you flexible as a rubber band.


      World’s Oldest Conjoined Twins (57-year-old):
               When Maureen Galyon gave birth in 1951, she had no idea she was expecting two babies – let alone conjoined twins. The tots, joined at the torso, were not expected to survive the night as baffled doctors tried to work out if they could be separated. Now, at 57, Ronnie and Donnie are the world’s oldest conjoined twins and have amazed the medic world by hanging onto life for so long. And, as their health declines and they near their dying days, the pair have opened their doors to a documentary team to reveal the secrets of their extraordinary life together. Although every day is a struggle as the men have to coordinate the simplest of tasks, they have a close, loving relationship and are able to live together in their own home in Dayton, Ohio

    World’s Oldest Father (90-year-old):
                   The world’s oldest father has done it again recently, fathering a child for at least the 21st time, at the age of 90. Indian farmer Nanu Ram Jogi, who is married to his fourth wife, boasts he does not want to stop, and plans to continue producing children until he is 100. Mr Jogi admits he is not certain how many children his series of four wives have borne him – but counts at least 12 sons and nine daughters and 20 grandchildren..

     

    Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis...

    Posted by Varumana- Usha

    Hi friends,

    The famous author "Chetan Bhagat" had an interesting Speech.. Lets Read it..


                Don t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced,successful life. I use the word balanced before successful.Balanced  means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

    There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup.There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

         "Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.       .

    One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?      .

    It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices........." :)


    "Don't be serious, be sincere."!!
