Resume Writing Tips and suggestion

Good day to everyone. The following post is about how to make your resume very professional and tips on Do’s & Don’ts in your Resume.

I am drafting this post with my own professional experience and the study on various management sites. This post will be helpful for all professional and my dear student friends.

Let’s start with Do’s and Don’ts in your resume.

Do’s:

  1. Your resume layout should fit in A4 sheet.
  2. Your resume should talk more about your professional exp/ studies (for freshers).
  3. Your resume should have date & place which will ensure your latest resume and your current place of preparation.
  4. Fit with some readable fonts (Arial recommended).
  5. Refer someone in the same industry (Eg: If you are in IT industry refer someone in the same industry instead of referring someone in chemical industry)
  6. Always project your details from latest to oldest as you can easily remember the latest one.


Don’ts:
  1. Lie on your resume.
  2. Draw any background colors for your resume as it will not look good when you take print outs.
  3. Change your font’s for heading and content.
  4. Place your photograph on your resume, incase asked paste the hard copy of your passport size photo.
  5. Underline the headings instead bold it.

Now you just have a look into the attachment which will give you the format of the resume. Just fill and enjoy. All the best.

Uninstalling app and taking screen shot in iPhone/iPod Touch

Dear Readers,

One of my friend has asked me today how to uninstall an app in your iPhone. While troubleshooting i have thought him how to take screen shot also. I thought it would be helpful for others too if i share the same.

There is nothing like big un-installation steps in iPhones as we do it in computers. Just keep your finger on any of the app and hold it for few seconds. Your applications will start dancing. Once the dance starts other than defaults apps such as calender, compass, youtube etc., you will get "x" mark in the apps that you have installed. Now click on "x" to remove that app from your iPhone. That's how we do uninstall or remove the app from your iPhone/iPod touch.

In case if your installation is struck up, you will not get the "x" mark in that particular application and the status will be "Waiting". Don't worry just switch off and switch it on then again give a dance to the app as said above the "x" will appear.

To take screen shot, just press home & sleep in a single shot your current iPhone screen shot is been taken and it will be available in your photo's.

Watermark in picasa

I believe couple of weeks before i was reading on web about adding water mark to pictures. I don't remember the software name exactly as i was not impressed by it's functionality.

I was thinking if Google has a software to import/export photo's using Picasa why it doesn't have any function to add watermark of it's own? With no doubt my research was done and finally i found the answer. It's YES, picasa has the function to perform this task by it's own. Let's see how.

We can easily add watermark to all photo's that we upload to web. Follow the simple steps.

1. Open Picasa and goto Tools --> Options
2. Click on "Web Albums" tab and look for "Watermarks"
3. Check the option "Add a watermark for all photo uploads" and enter the text that you want to appear on the text box then click on "OK".

Now from when on you upload any images to picasa web albums you will get the watermark to your photo's. This way you can own your rights to your photo's :). I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Meet you again.

I am sorry to say this, many of my buzz buddies does this mistake either knowingly or unknowingly which makes other followers in dis-comfortable state :(. I know you may wonder what was that? Mmmm nothing much but buzzing your gtalk/google chat status to buzz.


I am not saying you are doing intensionally but it's Google, which has made this option as default to all your buzz accounts. I am sure you might have seen the same in buzz and you might have tried to stopped it. If you really don't know how to do the same then this post is fully dedicated for those unknowns folks.

To avoid this from your buzz status all you need to do is to follow below 4 steps.
  1. Goto Settings
  2. Click on “Buzz” tab and look for “Your connected sites:” verbiage
  3. Now click on “View and Edit” link and you can see “Google Chat Status” in that window.
  4. Click on “Edit” and again click “Remove Site”.

This way your google chat status will not be buzzed anymore :). You should always understand one point, Buzz and Tweeters are to share your thoughts and feels not your fullstops and commas :) Keep buzzing buddies.

Please share this in your buzz if you are dis-comfortable with your followers.

Adding Watermark to a document using Microsoft Word 2010


Dear readers,

In every professional environment we have the concept of copyright and confidential. We prepare the document and share it with our clients alone which is highly confidential. We can say that it’s confidential /copy right to your own organization.

We cannot add a simple text which can say it’s confidential but how about adding a water mark in a document? It’s even simple and it can’t be edited by others.

To add the water mark in your work document follow the steps as mentioned below

  1. Click on “Page Layout” in the menu
  2. In the Page Backgroun option look for “Watermark” and we have some inbuild watermark in work. If that suits to you then we can add it. Else we can define our custom water mark by choosing “Custom Watermark”.
  3. In the custom window we have three options “No Watermark/Picture Watermark/Text Watermark”. It’s up to you to choose whatever you want.
