No degree, No job?
Does this mean that those without a degree need not apply? Not necessarily.
Although many corporate cultures require that their employees be degreed regardless of their position or length of experience, others will allow the degree to be trumped by industry experience. This is especially true for those job postings that have a degree **or equivalent** tagged to them. As such, you may have a chance when you lack the degree. Generally speaking, a degree will usually be mandatory for those younger candidates lacking solid, relevant job experience. The operative word here is "equivalent" and how that is defined.
Sell Results Instead
While these employers may have different requirements for equivalent experience, a good rule of thumb is to demonstrate past performance and proven results in your previous work. To accomplish this, your goal is to show how you either make money or save money for your employer.
From your past work experience, develop as many specific instances when you actually have done so. If you can attach a dollar-value to several of those, so much the better.? Put these in your resume.
Here are some actual examples:
- "Responsible for generating 13 new accounts by creating database and mailing piece."
- "Increased revenue by 38% from new social market bookings."
- "Chaired meetings and headed the negotiation discussion that resulted in the settlement of a long protracted contractual and legal issue with the subcontractor and client."
- "Improved cash collection and debt aging from average 100 days to a more manageable 30 days and realized savings of about $276,000."
- "Reduced turnover by 45% over previous management within 15 months through my training program and development plans."
- "Won the Leadership and Excellence Award in 2007 for outstanding achievements during my project management role."
- "Increased our customer satisfaction survey scores by 32% on average by training my team on the proper way to provide a great customer experience."
Showcase Your Main Strength
You should also have a USP (Unique Selling Proposition) near the top of your resume. Also called a "Personal Branding Statement," this is a short, one-sentence "pitch" that describes who you are in about 15 seconds. Your USP should state the single greatest strength you offer and the biggest benefit that you bring to an employer.
Example: "Hospitality business development professional with a strength in creative sales and marketing techniques that generated $500,000 in new revenue for my employer in 12 months."
You can outweigh the formal education by showing exactly how your specific work has benefited your previous employer. The bottom line is that employers today, more than ever, want to have problem-solvers on board. Though you may have no degree, you can prove yourself a resource that fits into their larger profit and loss picture. If you can demonstrate that, you can get hired.
Iphone Battery Tips
- Disable 3G when you don’t need itUsing a 3G connection when talking or browsing on the iPhone drains the battery substantially faster than using an EDGE connection. Browsing speeds are slower over EDGE compared to 3G, but call quality is decent on either connection.
How to: Settings -> General -> Network -> Set ‘Enable 3G’ to on or off as required - Disable 3G if you get a weak/intermittent signalIf you’re in a location where the 3G signal is very weak, the iPhone will have to work harder to keep reconnecting to the network which will drain the battery faster. Switch over to the EDGE network to avoid this if you’re in such an area for a long time.
How to: Settings -> General -> Network -> Set ‘Enable 3G’ on or off as required - Use a WiFi connection for web browsing where possibleBrowsing over WiFi is not only faster than using an EDGE or 3G connection, it drains the battery less too. Use a WiFi connection whereever it’s available.
How to: Settings -> WiFi -> Select a network - Disable location services when you’re not using itLocation services controls the use of GPS on Google Maps and other applications that make use of the iPhone’s location, such as geotagging photos when using the camera. While location services is switched on so is the GPS antenna, which will drain power even when you’re not using a relevant application.
How to: Settings -> General -> Set ‘Location Services’ to on or off as required - Turn off Push notifications or increase the fetch intervalThis controls the frequency that your phone will automatically check for new data, such as downloading email for any account you’ve set up. The more frequently it checks, the faster it will drain the battery.
How to: Settings -> Fetch New Data -> Configure as required - Turn on Auto BrightnessAuto Brightness will automatically adjust the brightness of the screen depending on ambient lighting conditions, so by switching it on your phone won’t be wasting additional power on the display.
How to: Settings -> Brightness -> Set ‘Auto-Brightness’ on - Switch on Airplane mode if you have no signalIf you’re in an area where you know you’ll have no signal at all, the phone will automatically keep trying to find a network. By switching on Airplane mode you can prevent the phone from doing this and save some battery power.
How to: Settings -> Set ‘Airplane Mode’ to on - Calibrate the battery indicator every two monthsYou can calibrate the battery indicator on the iPhone to make it more accurate by fully charging it up and then fully draining the battery. Do this every couple of months to ensure that what you see on the indicator is a reliable representation of how much power you have left.
- Charge your iPhone regularlyCharge your iPhone whenever you can to keep the battery topped up. It’s not possible to ‘overcharge’ the device as was the case with some older phones, so you don’t need to worry about damaging the battery by leaving it plugged in.
- Keep your iPhone cool while chargingIt’s important to charge the iPhone in a cool location - if you use a case you should remove it while the phone is charging. Charging the phone in a high temperature environment can dramatically reduce the lifespan of the battery.
The Reflex Tester

You can also purchase cards that can be reloaded with more minutes using a reload card or a credit card. They can be used in various communication devices available today, such as regular telephone and mobile lines, pay phones you see in the streets, or through Web-based applications (VoIP) offered by your prepaid phone card provider.
Question 2: How Do You Make Calls With Them?

Once the operator verifies your account, and you have sufficient funds in your credit, you can just punch in the number you want to call and voila! You're connected. Also a lot of phone cards now doesn't have an operator and instead has a voice recording for instructions.
Question 3: Do These Cards Have Any Security Feature?

Cards with PIN (personal identification number) require you to give an authorization code to the voice operator or voice recording to use your account. This is perfect if you don’t want anyone to make use of your prepaid phone card to budget your calls. PIN-less dialing prepaid phone cards have no security features attached to them. They are quite useful in making emergency calls, since you don’t have to verify your account to use the service. Note, however, that this type of card is vulnerable to outside usage.

They are even sold in vending machines that you see on the sidewalk. If you are one of those people that are not fond of going out of the house, you can purchase one over the Internet if you have a computer with a connection to the Web -- though you need a credit card or debit card for the latter to complete the transaction.

F430 Scuderia
The 430 Scuderia is an upgraded version of the Ferrari 430.
Serving as the successor onto the Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia was unveiled by Michael Schumacher (which he partly designed) at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. Aimed to compete with cars like the Porsche RS-models and the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, meaning super light weight, it is lighter (at 100 kg/220 lb) and more powerful (at 375.4 kW/503 bhp at 8500 rpm.) than the standard F430. Thus the weight-to-power ratio is reduced from 2.96 kg/hp to 2.5 kg/hp.
In addition to the weight saving measures, the Scuderia semi-automatic transmission gains improved 'Superfast', known as 'Superfast2', software for faster 60 millisecond shift-times. A new traction control system combines the F1-Trac traction and stability control with the E-Diff electronic differential. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia does 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 3.6 s, with a top speed of 199 miles per hour (320 km/h).
The cosmetic difference between the 430 Scuderia and the F430, which it is based on, include a re-styled front fascia, modified side-skirts, twin exhaust tips, a revised rear diffuser design, 19" wheels designed specifically for the 430 Scuderia, carbon-fibre wing mirrors, carbon-fibre challenge grille and the 430 Scuderia badge.
2008 China Olympics
For good or ill, the International Olympic Committee’s decision to allow China to host the Olympics is going to be remembered for a very long time.
It says a lot about the disaster that's unfolding for the Beijing games that the withdrawal of an Olympic favorite caused hardly a ripple. And why should it when bigger stories are brewing? It's possible that:
A forced shutdown of Beijing's factories and power plants during the games will throw China into an economic downturn.
Diversion of safe food to the Olympic Village will cause food riots elsewhere in China.
The transfer of 80 billion gallons of water -- equal to the annual water consumption of Tucson, Ariz., a city of 535,000 -- from Shaanxi and other provinces in northwestern China will shut down factories and agriculture in the region.
Yes, the Beijing Olympics, which were supposed to showcase China to the world, are still likely to provide exactly the kind of prestige-building extravaganza that the country's leaders had hoped for. But domestically, the games are quickly turning into an economic and political disaster. Once upon a time -- maybe six months ago -- investors (including yours truly) looked on the Olympics as a guarantee that China's stock market and economy would keep chugging along through the summer. "Safe until August" was the mantra.
Now, it increasingly looks like the games themselves could be the catalyst for a significant downturn in China's stock market and economy.
Just recently former Olympic speedskater Joey Cheek had his visa revoked by Chinese authorities Wednesday, hours before he was set to travel to Beijing to promote his effort urging China to help make peace in the war-torn Darfur section of Sudan.
Cheek, the president and co-founder of a collection of Olympic athletes known as Team Darfur, was planning to spend about two weeks in China, when he received an unexpected call from authorities.
The 2006 American gold medalist said they told him they were denying him entrance into the country and were "not required to give a reason."
"I didn't see it coming," Cheek said. "I figured once they gave me a visa, I wouldn't imagine they wouldn't allow me to come in later. That was a big shock. I wasn't expecting to get a call the evening before I was leaving for Beijing."
Cheek told The Los Angeles Times that he intends to meet with Chinese officials in Washington on Wednesday morning.
White House press secretary Dana Perino said the U.S. would protest China's decision to deny the visa.
One of Cheek's key initiatives was urging the international community to persuade Sudan to observe the ancient tradition of the Olympic truce during the Beijing Games.
