                                               Don’t Turn Away Help    Most of us are proud people. We usually have an attitude within ourselves that we have made it to this point of life on our own and will continue to pull our weight to make it. However, we can be assured that at some point in our life, we will hit the bottom. It is not a matter of if but it is a matter of when. Unless you are independently wealthy , you are going to need someone to help you and you will have to swallow your pride to let that happen. Maybe you have experienced a job loss and it has been a few months and you still have not landed a new job. You send resume after resume with no response. Have you tried calling someone you know who might be able to help you get a job ? It has been proven time and time again that you have the best chances of getting a job when someone already there can attest to your skills and qualifications .

Giving Without Expecting Anything in Return Some of the unhappiest people in the world are people who expect something from others, particularly if these others owe them favors. While we are all taught that if we do things for people it will usually return to us, this is not always the case. You will find that you will typically be a much happier person if -- when you do something for someone or give something to a person -- you expect nothing in return. It has been said that people who keep their expectations low have little cause to whine. For instance, if a close friend of yours is in a bind and asks to borrow some money , give it as a gift instead of lending it. Realistically, if a person is in a real financial bind, that person probably cannot pay you back anyway. If you lend money to this person and do not get it back, you might find yourself getting very angry and upset. By the same token, if you do not have the money to spare, then tell your friend this too. It is better to be

Most interviewers will tell you that without a cover letter; your resume does not stand a chance of being reviewed; so even when job offers request resumes without stressing cover letters take the initiative and send one. The cover letter is like a briefing. It tells the interviewer a little about your goals and why they should hire you for the position. So, since job advertisements don’t always ask for a cover letter along with your resumé, you should know you are always expected to send one. Some companies won’t even look at your resumé if it’s not accompanied by such a letter. After all, resumés and cover letters represent your first encounter with prospective employers and furnish the criteria based on which you may be selected for a job interview. Consequently, you should not write a cover letter in haste, but pay attention to every detail when crafting one. While they may be required to follow certain standard patterns, you do have some freedom as to the style, so you shoul
