The Secret Weapon To Beat SARS Is In Your Head
Submitted Sunday, March 18, 2007 / Views 56 / Comment (0)
Just when you thought you had all the fun you could possibly handle with Saddam Hussein, North Korea, Al Quaeda and the winter that just won't die, along comes SARS - severe-acute respiratory syndrome.
I recently fielded a call on this subject from one of my biggest fans: "You moron. What do you mean we can fight SARS with our heads? Can't you see? We are all going to die. Die. Die, I tell you."
"Please, mother. Don't panic. Panicking will only make it worse."
"What do you mean make it worse? How can it be any worse? People are dying all over the place. It's all over the news. Every day. This is just horrible."
"So far, out of six billion people on earth, only about a hundred have died. Most of those are on the other side of the planet. That's not good for them, but the risk for us is way smaller than it seems."
"Then why does it seem like it's everywhere? Why won't the TV people stop talking about it?"
"Well, the TV people have all sworn a secret oath. They are to maintain high professional standards, report the news as objectively as possible and do whatever is necessary to scare people to death. See? It's simple."

7 Ways Email Can End Your Business Relationships Before They Start
Submitted Friday, March 16, 2007 / Views 55 / Comment (1)
Too often, people forget they're anonymous in the internet world. Your friends and colleagues might know you as being a tireless worker, a great friend and loving parent, but I don't know that. To me, you're just a font. You're a font in an email, or in a forum post. If you give me access to your website, then you're whatever impression the website creates. But largely, you're anonymous. So if you want to establish trust in your internet business dealings, make it your goal to paint a professional image via email.
I'm a copywriter, so I'm constantly combing the web for possible clients and cohorts. Recently I've encountered some internet personalities who have left me scratching my head in puzzlement. Might we have had a fruitful business relationship? I'll never know, because within days of crossing paths, they managed to display one of the "Scary Seven" - that is, the seven quickest ways to scare people away by email. Let's review them now.
Scare Tactic 1. Send an email from a cryptic address. There's nothing that says 'unprofessional' like an email inquiry from "Binky24" or "Shanaynay_7". Email addresses like this strike me as being one of two things: 1. someone young and foolish, or 2. a spammer. I understand if you don't have a website up and running yet; after all, as a writer, many people contact me to help them get their businesses started. But at the very least, reveal your first and last name. Provide contact information, and a brief background. If no one knows who you are, it's not likely they'll do business with you.

The net-Domain: Backbone of the Web
Submitted Friday, March 16, 2007 / Views 68 / Comment (0)
We do not always realize that figures are just quantity and can deceive about quality.
In spite of the fact that the net-domain is only the No. 4 in terms of the number of domain names registered, it works as a backbone of the web. The net-domains build the largest Top Level Domain by number of hosts, or machines connected to the Internet. More than 44 percent of name servers use net-domains. We presume, that programmers and other technical experts have a more narrow emotional relationship to .net than to .com. Their sympathy for .net is just greater than for .com.
Historically .net was once reserved for providers. This might have still an influence to the technical use of .net and the importance of this use. Every programmer and hostmaster has an idea of .net, but not every programmer and hostmaster has an idea of .com. In some way .net stands for the web.
Other facts:
31 percent of all page views are dependent on a net-domain for resolution

10 Tips For Writing A Winning Resume
Submitted Friday, March 16, 2007 / Views 49 / Comment (0)
Your resume (or curriculum vitae), combined with the coverletter, are the master keys to opening the prospectiveemployer's mind and door so that you can proceed to thenext step in the process - the big interview!
RESUME WRITING TIPS AND STRATEGIES
Here are 10 valuable tips for anyone writing their ownresume, or who is having someone else write one for them.These tips and strategies are an abridged version of whatis contained in my new eBook, "Instant Home Writing Kit".
1. Keep It Focused and Businesslike
A resume should be specific and all business. Don't try tobe too smart or too cute. After all, you are asking anemployer to invest significant time and money by choosingyou over many other similarly qualified people. Employersmainly want to know whether you are appropriately qualifiedand experienced, and if you have the ability to "deliverthe goods."
2. More Than Two Pages Is Too Much
For students, recent graduates, or people with just a fewyears of experience, try to keep your resume to one page,two as an absolute maximum. Even a resume for someone with20 years or more of extensive working experience, shouldnot exceed three pages. In some cases, one or two "optional"pages can be referred to as "available upon request." Thesewould be such optional annexes as a list of references oran inventory of recent projects and/or publications.

Thank-You Notes: An Integral Part of Your Career Design
Submitted Friday, March 16, 2007 / Views 58 / Comment (1)
There is one little practice that is vital to generating the interest of potential employers. It is critical, but very few job seekers actually do it.
What is it? The THANK YOU NOTE!
Interview experts agree that EVERY job hunter MUST send thank-you notes after EVERY interview. They also point out that most people completely ignore this bit of wisdom.
In order to have a huge advantage over the other candidates for the job you want, send thank-you notes to EVERYONE you meet the day of the interviewadministrative assistants, managers, interviewers, people you met who already do the job you are targeting, and so on.
One of my resume clients (let's call him Mike) is a Certified Arborist and Tree Care Professional in the San Diego area. His goal is to move into the consulting arena.
Very soon after speaking on the phone with the owner of a prominent tree care company, Mike mailed a brief note thanking the owner for his time and consideration. Within a week, the owner called Mike and offered him an informal mentoring arrangement to help Mike learn more about the consulting side of tree care.
