To Make your Resume Effective............
First one should know the difference between resume and CV
Curriculam vitae:
List of your professional and education history Many pages, Length doesn't matter

Resume:

summary of your experience and history Usually only one page, multiples pages is only for Senior level. Resume Format:
Always have a .doc (Microsoft Word) format and .txt format of your resume with you. When you are filling your resume in websites, you need the text format and when you are sending resume through mail, it's better to send the .doc format. Few companies may ask specifically for .rtf format. In such case, you don't have an option anyway.
Resume Size:
Try to see to it that the .doc resume file size is less than 100 KB. Resume File Name: Don't give some junk names as file name for the resume. If you keep using junk names, there is every possibility that your mail will travel to bulk/trash folder of recruiter. Your resume's file name should ideally denote your name, experience, technology, years of experience and company name. Keep some valid name for your resume. Exclusive Mail IDs Use only one (or maximum of 2) mail Ids exclusively for the purpose of recruitments. Do NOT use those mail Ids for any other purpose (Especially you should not use it for subscribing to any GROUP mails or FORWARD mails).

Standard Mail Service Providers:
One must be careful about the service providers in which you open a mail account. Don't use the mail Ids/accounts from non-standard service providers. If they disconnect services suddenly, your mail ID fails and you need to resend resumes with new mail Id to all the companies you have already applied. So, always try to create mail Ids with standard service providers like Gmail,Live,Hotmail,Yahoo, Rediff etc. Choose both mail Ids from different mail service providers. In case, if one service provider experiences technical problems, you can use the other service provider.
Mail Space:
Always see to it that at least 50 % of your mailbox size is free. Delete unnecessary mails periodically.While sending the resume, preferably send it from the mail ID mentioned in resume. & always keep a CC/BCC to your mail ID (or at least keep your sent items ON) so that you will know whether the resume is attached properly and/or whether it's traveling to bulk mail folder.
Subject Line:
If the company mentions that a specific 'Job Code' has to be written in Subject Line, write that. If nothing specific, then give a proper subject line for your mail. Example: Resume - J2EE - 3 Years Experience - INFOSYS - Bangalore
Covering Letter:
Always try to include a "short" covering letter just containing your experience, current location, contact details (address & phone number) current company name, technology you are working in. Don't write too long covering letters. No HR will spend time on reading your long letters.

Short is Sweet:
Don't make the resume too long. Keep it short & sweet. It should be less than 3 pages (and up to a maximum of 4). The HR will hardly have 1 minute to glance at your resume. He won't have the time to read story-like resume. So, be precise, clear and straight to the point. Better use bullets for mentioning important points.

Check BULK mail folder:
Check the BULK mail folder before blindly emptying it. I have seen people who lost call letters because of it.

INSIDE RESUME :

Header & Footer :
Always have a header & footer in your resume. Header can contain a simple heading of your resume. Footer should preferably contain the page number.
First Page is the best page to convey all about you :
Typically the HR expects all the important details in the first page. He receives hundreds of resumes and hardly gets 1 minute to look at your resume and so he won't bother to search your resume for the required details, if the details are not found in his first glance at your resume. The first page of resume must contain the following things:

Personal Details :

Full Name, Date of Birth, Passport Number. Current Contact Details : Full Contact Address, Contact Phone Numbers, Mail ID & Alternate Mail ID.
Work Experience Summary :
All the companies you have worked so far, Company Address, Website, Dates of Duration in each Company. Don't assume that everyone knows about your company. (You can highlight if your current company has any good quality levels)
Job Responsibilities :
Job profile in past companies. For example, one should highlight that working as 'Module Leader leading a team of 6 people' in current company.

Skill Set Summary :

Highlight all the technologies one knows well. Don't include any technologies one have not worked on. Certifications : Include any relevant certifications one have that gives an edge over others.
Education Details Summary :
Graduation, Intermediate, 10 th details, Aggregate Percentage, Year of Pass out (Most important).
Contact Details at the top, not at bottom !
Never include the contact details in Header or Footer. They won't be visible properly. Always provide an alternate mail ID ! .
Some points to be kept in mind before finalising:

Do NOT give more than 2 mail Ids in resume.
Spell Check the Resume
Educational details are important
Use Reverse Chronological order
Avoid Irrelevant Details
Do not write stereotype sentences like 'I am sincere, intelligent, hardworking' etc.
Do not include any photos in the resume unless specifically asked by the company.

Note: I have written according to best my knowledge. If something get wrong or want to give suggestion, i shall be thankfull to them....................

LIMITED SMSs IN INDIA!!

2011-10-02T02:25:00.000-07:00

TRAI’s recent initiative to cap the number of SMSes a day has sounded the death knell for lots of businesses as well as social solutions. SMS is the prime mode of communication for many specific users e.g. the physically challenged. Many mobile users who are deaf start their day with a Good Morning SMS and in the course of the day, send and receive more than 300 SMSes while communicating with others. Similarly hearing-impaired students in schools and colleges have been using SMS service for their studies. Businesses providing tracking services ( e.g. real time train timings, how driver is driving, etc), Group SMS using web are also badly hit. SMS is an inexpensive, easy and silent mode of communication. Young India communicates extensively through SMS. Businesses use SMS as a cost effective and universally understandable communication medium. But on the flip side subscribers & businesses have also abused this mode of communication. Political parties have also come out against the TRAI rule to gain more sympathy in the eyes of public. Every month, the TRAI receives some 40,000 complaints about telemarketers. Last month, it cut off 72,000 phone connections of registered telemarketers and more than 118,000 of those of unregistered firms for calling people even though they had subscribed to a do-not-call registry. Not all subscribers complain, even if they are at the receiving end. TRAI has warned users: “Customers are requested to be aware of such messages which are apparently based on misunderstanding of the regulations and customers already registered on NCPR are requested to not deregister,” “Concerns have been raised that such provisions will impact flow of transactional messages such as from a bank to its customers or from Airlines to its passengers, and likewise from the schools to the students/ parents. Today businesses and subscribers both are confused and are in a dilemma. They are struggling to understand the fine prints and the technicalities of the rule and what would be cost effective alternatives. What I recommend to TRAI is to communicate, explain and simplify the rules. It is important that the common man understands the logic behind the rules.

6 things you should know before buying a tablet.......................................

1. Operating system:

Today the market offers you tablets with different types of operating system. While Android OS seems to be doing the buzz, Apple's iOS has been ruling the tablet industry for quite some time now. Android upgraded version Honeycomb 3.1 is the best suited for tablets, in case if you want to go for a tablet which supports android OS and if you are looking for enough customization then it is the ultimate hub.
2. Size:

Tablets come in different size and weight, so if you are looking for something ultra portable then 7 inch is the best to go for. But when it comes to browsing and gaming 10 in
ch tablet is the ultimate galore.
3. Connectivity:

Make sure you are aware of the connectivity facilities offered by different types of tablets and especially if you are an internet savvy person. Tablets come in either 3G or
Wi-Fi. Wireless connections work awesome in tablets whereas 3G are a profitable investment for people who are constantly travelling places.

4. Apps:
Well, Apps are something that has concentrated a huge space in our lives today. The more your device supports apps the more it is taken as feasible. Android apps have got a huge
fan following in the recent time although Apple has best paid-for apps.

5. Connections:
Make sure your tablet has more than a USB connection and a headphone socket. Video outputs and card readers are some options that are always beneficial to you.

6. Touch screen:
There are two types of touch screen display. It is up to you to make sure it is the capacitive kind. Resistive touch screens are cheaper to make but it takes out the fluidity of
a touch interface as compared to capacitive ones.
HOPPING IT WOULD BE HELPFULL FOR U .
HAPPY BUYING......................................:)

Mobile number portability

New Delhi, Jan 20 : Mobile number portability, which allows mobile users to change their service provider without changing their phone numbers, comes into affect from today all over the country, a measure that will force telecom providers to improve quality of their services.

The nationwide launch of MNP, which comes after its launch in Haryana on November 25, will be done by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh later in the day.

Following the implementation of MNP, service providers would be required to complete all the procedures regarding portability within a period of four days.

The subscriber will have to pay Rs 19 as porting charge. Once a subscriber shifts to another operator, he cannot port his number again for another 90 days.

However, the portability facility will be available only within a given licensed service area.

The telecom operator must inform the customer through the phone about the exact date and time when the porting will happen.

Market observers see a major churn in the market after the implementation of MNP.

Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal termed it a great step forward for the consumers as it enhances choice and brings more competition.

Talking to reporters here late last evening, Mr Sibal said, ''I think it's a great step forward for the consumer as it enhances choice and brings in more competition, because the more efficient you are as a service provider, the more likely that consumer will choose you.'' Though MNP services were launched in Haryana in November last year, mobile companies have started marketing their services to subscribers in other parts of the country that are looking at switching operators even before MNP services were rolled out.
SOOOO !! HOPE FOR BETTER SERVICES !!.......................... :-)
