4. 5 Reasons Why Your Resume Is Never Read
Wondering why you never receive a phone call for a job interview? Maybe your resume fails to make an impression on the employer/recruiter.
Most job applicants make very common blunders that force the employer to toss their resume out the window.
Here are the top five reasons why your resume is never read.
1. Your resume has an awful layout/presentation
Your resume has 20-30 seconds to make an impression on the reader. If it fails to do so, then you probably need to work on it. Work hard on
the layout and overall presentation of your resume as it creates the first impression on the reader. The layout of your resume is as important as
the content itself. Make sure you use an appropriate format with well-defined sections, allowing the readers to find the information they are
looking for. Avoid errors and spelling mistakes. Keep your resume short and to-the-point.
2. Your resume is not focused or relevant
Keep your resume as relevant as possible. It should not include a long list of your responsibilities from your previous jobs, especially if the
information is irrelevant to the job to which you are applying.
3. Your resume still has an objective statement
Avoid adding a vague, general and long-winded objective/goal at the top of your resume. It simply tells the employer what you want, instead
of telling them what you bring to the table. As an alternative, add a short description of your unique talents and key attributes that can make
an impact on the reader.
4. Your resume is not keyword-optimized
Your resume should be keyword-optimized. For that, you need to use the relevant keywords mentioned in the job description. Before sending
your resume, read closely the job description and the skills/qualifications required for the ideal candidates. Make sure you meet the criteria
and mention each credential in your resume.
5. You haven’t mentioned your core competencies
Does your resume tell the employer about your accomplishments and core competencies that make you the best fit for the job role? Add
details about the problems you solved, the procedures you implemented, the trainings you attended or delivered, the improvements you made
and the objectives you accomplished in your past jobs. You can also add details about any awards/recognition you received from your past
employers. Identify your strengths and skills and make a list. Don’t forget to connect them with the job description.
Hope the above tips help you get to the interview stage. Happy Resume Writing!

6. Bringing People Closer
World Expo 2012
World Events: The World Expo 2012
The World Expo 2012 recently concluded at Yeosu, South Korea on the 12th of August. This event was an International Exposition
recognized by the International Exhibitions Bureau (BIE) which opened on the 12th of May and ran for 3 months. The theme of the Expo was
“The Living Ocean and Coast” with subthemes of “Preservation and Sustainable Development of the Ocean and Coast,” “New Resources
Technology,” and “Creative Marine Activities.”
More than 100 countries and international organizations took part in this massive event which saw almost 8 million visitors during its 3 month
tenure.
This was Korea’s second world fair after 1993. The World Expo 2012 celebrated the world’s oceans and coasts. The event, which was held
on a 62-acres site, saw foreign nations share the International Pavilion with separate pavilions for Korea; a theme pavilion, an aquarium,
corporate pavilions and performance venues.
History of World Fairs
The first World Fair was held in 1851 in London. The objective was to allow people to share their ideas, experiences, cultures and scientific
advancements on a shared platform for new inventions. This has inspired millions of people from around the world to grow and learn by
coming together.
Through such fairs, people are given the chance to explore new cultures, advancements in science & technology and the latest inventions.
The purpose and goal of holding such fairs has changed with time. While still representing the commercial needs of society, they also present
a picture of people’s hopes and aspirations with regard to how they view the future.
The world has become a global village; trade and cultural exchange has facilitated the process of bringing people from different backgrounds
closer. Through such fairs, people can be provided valuable insight into others’ lives, thereby encouraging tolerance and respect between
different races and creeds.

A Future For Myself
Being a single mother of two children, aged 8 and 10, has its challenges, most of them financial. Currently, I am working as a Legal
Executive at a local law firm. We live in a small rented apartment in the middle of the city. As of late, I was having a tough time
making ends meet; hence, I am now seriously considering changing jobs as my current salary, quite frankly, is not enough to pay
for the rent of our apartment and my children’s education, not to mention other expenses. However, before doing so, I wanted to
apply for a Master’s degree in Law as I felt that it will increase my worth as a potential employee and help me enhance my skills
and capabilities. Unfortunately, my financial situation, at the time, did not allow me to pursue my education needs. Additionally, I did
not want to compromise on the time spent with my children.
This put me in a deep fix; to find a university that promoted a master’s degree program that was affordable and had flexible timings
seemed like an almost impossible task. Just when I was about to lose hope, a friend suggested I check out MUST University’s
Better Tomorrow program. After reading about the program’s features on MUST University’s website, I figured it was worth a shot.
Soon after I had enlisted for the program, I realized that it was probably the best decision I had ever made. Through MUST
University’s Better Tomorrow program, I was able to gain access to high quality education at virtually no cost! As per their
agreement, MUST University and various education ministries around the world contribute 80% and 20% to the fund respectively,
so that numerous students are given the chance to pursue a high standard of education. In addition, in order to help students
acclimatize themselves with the program, native education counselors are present to answer students’ queries. Local faculty is
hired to enhance students’ learning with the help of highly structured and comprehensive academic theories combined with
real-life insight. Thanks to MUST University’s Better Tomorrow Program, I am now on the road to securing mine as well as my
children’s future.

8. Champion of Women’s Rights-
Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton On Women’s Equality and Empowerment
Hillary Clinton has always stood up for women’s equality and empowerment. Even at the time when she was the First Lady at the White
House, she was the leading voice for women’s rights and equality not only in the United States but in other emerging democracies across
the globe.
"Yes, it is hard to believe that even here at home, we have to stand up for women’s rights and reject efforts to marginalize any one of us,
because America needs to set an example for the entire world," Clinton said. "And it seems clear to me that to do that, we have to live our
own values and we have to defend our own values. We need to respect each other, empower all our citizens, and find common ground ”
Holding a very prestigious position as the Secretary of State, Clinton has a no-nonsense attitude, which is why she has been ranked the
second most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.In her tenure as Secretary of State, Clinton has helped women start businesses,
encouraged them to take part in politics and, most importantly, motivated them to build their strengths and courage.
Clinton, in one of her statements, said that she had met a young Muslim woman who had been working in partnership with the U.S.
Embassy to build Tunisia's democracy.
"I told her that in America, in Tunisia, anywhere in the world, women should have the right to make their own choices about what they wear,
how they worship, what jobs they should do, and what causes they should support. These are choices women have to make for
themselves, and they are a fundamental test of democracy."
Clinton firmly believes that America can bring a positive change in the world through women empowerment and equality, especially in third
world nations.
