Writing Your Resume
Writing a resume can be difficult. We don’t always know what employers are looking for and sometimes it’s difficult to put into words our skills and achievements. By following these simple tips you’ll be able to complete a presentable resume that will get noticed by employers and increase your chances of getting an interview.

• First impressions count on paper too. Employers are handed many resumes throughout the year and you want yours to stand out in the pile. Make important information, skills and achievements visible so the reader wants to learn more but keep it professional. Avoid using coloured paper or hard to read fonts.
• Be clear and concise. Mention all of your achievements but there is no need to go into detail. You will be given the opportunity to give more information during an interview. Keep your resume short but include all pertinent information.
• Include relevant information that is appropriate for the position that you are applying for. Th

Online dating, social networking, web chat and texting have taken away from the excitement and anticipation of meeting someone for the first time face to face. All this new technology that’s meant to bring us together seems to be keeping people apart for longer. It’s very difficult to make a true connection with someone when there is a lack of personal interaction where you can read body language and feel true chemistry.

If you’re interested in meeting people and want that real connection re-think the blind date. These simple tips will make your blind date successful whether it leads to a relationship or not.

• Get friends or co-workers to set you up with someone. You’ll be able to find out more about the person beforehand and you already have a common connection in the person who set you up. Plus it’s safer to meet with someone through a friend than meeting with a stranger you found online.
• Always meet in a public place and tell a friend or family member where you are meeting an

As you may know, the Canadian economy, for the most part, is influenced by the U.S. economy, which is still struggling, but some sectors are showing some signs of recovery. Recent news that investment guru Warren Buffett felt the U.S. economy was strengthening has increased market activity there in the past week.

For the real estate sector in Canada, the buzz words are “balanced market”, which could easily turn into a buyer’s market as interest rates remain low and sellers reduce their asking prices to make the sale. Chris Potter, a tax specialist at PriceWaterhouseCooper writes in a report called Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2011, “Rising interest rates coupled with tight bank requirements and broader economic concerns tamper down a recent home buying spurt, particularly in Ontario and B.C., where purchasers stepped up activity before the HST went into effect.”

The market did experience a burst of activity prior to the implementation of the HST. Then, sales slumped over the summe

Skin care varies depending on the season. The products you use in the summer may not be suitable for your lifestyle in the winter. These tips can help you choose the proper skin care for your skin type and season but also remember that advise can be found at your local pharmacy or department store. When seeking advice from a skin care consultant try to find someone who deals with a variety of products instead of just one brand. Their advice will be less biased.

In the winter our skin becomes dry and dehydrated because of the cold temperatures outside and the heaters in our homes, offices and cars. Your winter activities could also be wreaking havoc on your skin. If you ski, walk or run outdoors or play a winter sport where you’re sweating in cold temperatures, you’ll need to protect your skin more.

Good quality, but not necessarily expensive, products will last you six months. If you time things right you’ll run out of your summer products just in time to purchase your winter

Shock and denial are often the first common emotions when dealing with a loss, especially if there was no warning. Once we are over these initial emotions we usually try to hold on to the person in some way. If they’ve passed away, we may look at old photos or keepsakes of theirs. If the person has left then we try to hold on by keeping connected to their life is some way. What we are doing is trying to keep our perception of them alive. We seem to only remember the good. This occurs mostly when someone we love has walked away.

The reason it is so difficult to rebuild our lives at this time of year is because it is a time most spent with family and friends. We remember the happy times around the holidays spent with our loved ones and try to imagine what we would be doing with them if they were still here. It is also a time for reflection. Also, in January people get back to work and back to the routine of their lives. We become less social than we are around the holidays a

One of the most surprising benefits I’ve discovered for being engaged to a gal from the Middle East, other than the vast cultural exchange, is the cooking.

Oh, yes ladies… my gal COOKS!

Which is good since I am a lousy cook. : )

Hanna enjoys it… and she brings a Middle Eastern flair to some really boring fitness/bodybuilding foods that I want to share with you today.

Here’s just two quick tips from Hanna on making the ultimate in “boring” foods — egg whites and tuna (yuck) — taste incredible.

TIP 1:
Lively Egg White Omelette

Let’s face facts: Egg whites suck. At least that’s what I USED to think until Hanna decided to experiment with my morning omelette.

Now I eat this stuff like it was candy.

Here’s what she does:

1. She cooks the veggies separate from the egg whites. You’d think this would be common sense, but I never did it and I’ve seen a lot of people just toss it all in together.

2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil to the veggies. This alone improved the taste tremendously.

3. Add 1/2 egg yolk to the veggies after cooking for 1 minute. This, again, is primarily for taste.

4. Garlic! If you love garlic, here’s your chance. Garlic ROCKS in egg white omelets.

5. Use Pam or another non-stick spray for the egg whites and cook them like you would a normal omelette. Then pour the almost-cooked veggies in the middle. Do the omelette dance.

6. Here’s the SECRET SAUCE… literally. This will sound nuts until you try it:

Shrimp Cocktail Sauce

Okay… Hanna’s bright, but this was an accident. She thought it was salsa. But I’ve NEVER gone back to salsa after stumbling on this incredible treat! I have no idea why it tastes so good, but it makes the omelette.

Try these tips and see if your egg white omelette doesn’t become your favorite meal of the day.

TIP 2:
Canned Tuna Extraordinaire

Again, I have the lovely Hanna to thank for this.

Like egg whites, I used to HATE canned tuna. Now, again, I can eat this every night without complaint.

Here’s what she does:

She cooks the veggies the same way as in the omelette above and then pours the tuna from the can into a skillet. That’s IT.

I’ve never had “tuna ala skillet” before… and I have no clue why this tastes so smooth and delicious, but it does.

If you hate canned tuna for being dry or tasteless, try this. You’ll never go back.

If you want 40 pages of recipes like this… very yummy and VERY healthy… then be sure to pick up my EODD “Favorite Foods” Dieplan.

Here’s more about it:

Favorite Foods Diet + Recipes <-- click.here.for.more

Remember:
Don’t Quit. Get Fit!

P.S. Most of the recipes that come with my EODD book can be prepared in 15 minutes or less… so do not let the clock become your enemy when it comes to getting lean!

And remember: You can eat your favorite foods several days per week on my plan and still get rid of excess bodyweight.

Why give up living when you don’t have to, right? : )

Several recent studies have pointed to the validity of doing very short cardio sessions (10 minutes) several times a day as being as beneficial… or even better… than one longer session. I agree, assuming you do some form of interval work in your cardio sessions. In fact, unless you want to drop a lot of bodyfat, you can get by with one 9-minute session a day if you do it right.

Quick Start: Try three super-short sessions with at least a 2-3 minute higher-intensity ‘burst’ in the middle. You do not have to go to the gym to do this. You can do this by walking stairs, stepping up and down on a low platform, or even walking outside. Let’s face it: 10 minutes is a lot easier on the brain than 30 minutes… and just as good.
