Resume Photo: Pros and Cons

Availability or absence of a photo is not the crucial point in building a perfect resume or CV. But in some cases it is able to influence the final decision of HR manager concerning the choice either to invite you for the interview or not. Some career coaches suppose that it's incorrectly to place a photo in your CV. The others say that it's not prohibited. In fact there is no any definite answer to that question as it depends upon a number of various factors. If your potential employer asks you to supply your photo it's clear that a proper photo file needs to be attached. But one should pay attention to the fact that the attached photo should be an appropriate one. The resume or CV photo should meet its aim. That means the home photos, funny ones, glamorous and studio ones wouldn't be the right ones to choose. The best photo for a resume or CV is the one depicting a job seeker officially dressed, openly smiling and ready to work. If you don't have such photo ask your friend to take a picture of you or use the service of a professional photographer.

Praise or Reproof?

It is a stated fact that all children perform bad (from our adult point of view) deeds from time to time. They fight, cry, tell lies, refuse to eat porridge and so on. Parents in this case face the dilemma – whether to scold their children or just mildly tell them not to behave badly. There is no universal recipe for such situations but you can follow some simple rules if you do not want to hurt your kid’s feelings.

One of the main aims of a growing personality is to meet the expectations of his or her parents. If you call your kid “evil” or “bad” he will start behaving according to this description. The fact is that it is our opinion which forms the character of the child. Of course, there are other important factors as well, but this one is the main. The kid views his parents like some unachievable gods and their idea of him makes him be the same as we think of him.

Protection during traveling.

You will need ginger root, three narrow yellow ribbons and a small wooden box.

The best time for that spell is Thursday, the day of the Scandinavian god Thor, the one who protect the ones who are on their way and controls the weather. When you buy ginger root try to find the one which reminds a small human. If you didn’t manage to find that one you may carve out a small human carefully with a kitchen knife. Tie up the yellow ribbons on its body, legs and arms. But never tie up the one around its neck. During the process of fastening the ribbon knots kiss each one and wish the person who is going to travel luck and success in your thoughts. Pronounce the following words: “Be safe and sound in all the travels of your life forever and ever.” Put the small ginger human into the wooden box, seal it and store in a safe place.

Die of happiness

Not long ago a 70-year-old American woman died of cardiac arrest a few hours after Barack Obama entered her restaurant. That’s what I would call ‘to die of happiness’. That poor woman had no idea of the President’s visit, and moreover she was a great Obama’s fan. So can people really die of happiness? According to experts, it is possible. Emotional arousal can lead to heart attack, stroke and other potentially fatal conditions. Our body reacts to excitement as well as to the feeling of fear or stress, producing adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones trigger the reaction to “fight or flight,” which prepares us to the dangerous situation. But excessively high level of these hormones in the blood can be dangerous for our heart, brain and other organs. This is especially harmful for people with heart diseases, and for older people, as it can lead to death.

Lazy brain

I don’t know about you, guys, but sometimes I really feel I grow dull. All these parties, lazy evenings before TV and social nets seem to reduce my imagination and ability to think quickly and creative. Once I had this thought about my degrading mind, I decided to improve myself as I was scared to become a computer veggie and silly fast liver. So that’s what I did and do now.

First of all, when I need to count something, I avoid any calculator help. In the beginning it was hard, as it took time to make all these mathematical operation, even the simplest ones, like counting tip. Then it became way easier, and I start surprising my friends with such skills. Sometimes when I use public transport, I pay attention to the license plates of the nearby vehicles, and without writing them down I add the figures from these plates, then raise this result to the square and divide it by seven. Probably that’s why I look so concentrated while riding.
