Get to know yourself : 

If you have recently resigned or lost your job, you will need to be organized and methodical in order to give yourself the best chance of finding a job as quickly as possible.

  • Do you know which of your qualifications and skills are the most useful? Also, do you know what type of work you are best suited for? Try to take a few self-assessment tests on the internet to understand yourself better to help you decide what job might be right for you.
  • Get yourself assessed by a professional career advisor, who can even suggest a few training programs to upgrade your skills.

Are you right for the job? Before starting your job search, you first need to understand and decide if your skill levels match your aspirations. Making sure they do, will prevent you from wasting your time chasing jobs you are not qualified to do.

Your profile : What skills can you offer a company? What do you expect from the employer? What motivates you?

The Job Profile : What kind of work do you want? What is most important to you : the salary, job satisfaction or the working conditions

Curriculum Vitae (CV):

  • Update your CV before looking for a job, and choose a layout that best suits your experience and qualifications. 
  • Ask your close friends to proofread your CV. A fresh eye and varied work experience often provides some constructive criticism.

Home Tips

Curtains :

Curtains are the unsung heroes of the home furnishing world. They protect us from the summer sun and the winter cold and the strong winds and dust etc.

Most of us do not realize that they play an integral part of the home’s airflow system, filtering out the dust from the air that blows in and out of our windows. We owe it to our curtains also for giving us clean and dust-free air to breathe.

So, please remember to take care of them regularly. Dust your curtains once a month. And try and wash them or dry clean them once in 2 months, depending on their fabric. This is to enable them to allow clean air to pass through our windows.

Benefits of Sunlight…

For your skin and body :

When natural sunlight hits the skin it triggers the body’s production of vitamin D. Vitamin D is also known as “the sunshine vitamin.” It is a crucial ingredient for overall health; protects against inflammation, lowers high blood pressure, helps muscles, improves brain function and may even protect against cancer.

Weak bones, lack of calcium and various skin and hair issues are triggered by Vitamin D deficiency. Morning sunlight especially before 8.00 a.m has a lots of health benefits.

Start your day with a little bit of sunshine and utilise what nature provides.

For good eyesight :

This is my own life experience and how I was benefited. I had problem with my eyesight as a kid and had to wear spectacles and go to school. Felt embarrassed wearing them, cause children used to make fun. Came home one day and cried and told my mother I don’t like to wear the spectacles to school, she suggested the following exercise, which I followed without fail and till date after all these years it has still helped me.

Morning when I woke up, she had asked me to sit outside in the yard, facing the early morning sunlight i.e. before 8.00 am and do the following :

Close eyes and keep doing breathing exercise for 5 minutes and relax, then open eyes and look at nature, greenery, plants around for 5 minutes. Then again close eyes and keep doing breathing exercise and 5 minutes, then open eyes and look at nature, greenery, plants around for 5 minutes. Duration of this exercise was 20 minutes. I had done this for few months and till date I do not have to wear spectacles. Thanks to my mother for her suggestion.

I have been sharing this to all those whom I have come across who have problems with the power in one or both eyes. Try this exercise and ensure that you eat healthy foods too.
