19 Sep 10 3 Steps to Add Your Favorite Application Tab in Facebook
You must have noticed a significant change that Facebook has made to your profile page. Well, this change is not so significant, if you have not been using the box feature. But for those who was addicted to show their creation to the world using box, Facebook’s application tabs has brought a news of doom.
Facebook has replaced box with application tabs, which could be a good or a bad news depending upon from where you are looking at it. My objective is not to prove one group right and another wrong, but it is to suggest you ways to apply this new feature.
3 steps to add application tabs
Step 1: Click on the profile page link and wait for the profile page to appear.
Step 2: Go to the area where wall, info, and photos are written. At the end of this line, you will find a + sign, click on that.
Step 3: In a drop-down menu you will see a series of application avaialble for you. Below that you wil find a box beneath “search application tabs”. Enter the keywords of the application tabs you want to use.
That’s it. You have added your favorite application in facebook’s application tabs.
This feature will transform Facebook into a mega pplication which will host almost all the inforamtion that you routinly seek from the web. It will become your RSS reader twitter feed agregator, blog reader, etc.
But, at presnet the choice is quite limited, so there is nothing much that you can do with it. Still, there is no harm is testing this feature.

Now everyone has money, well not everyone, but many people have enough capital to start a business and make it survive for months or even years.

07 Jan 10 Structure of a Cover Letter
In the last post, we talked about the importance of a cover letter, and how much it can assist in getting an interview call. In this short article, I will talk about anatomy of a cover letter; about how one should go about crafting a cover letter.
Anatomy of a cover letter
Step 1: length of a cover letter
A cover letter should not be more than one page long, and when I say “page” I mean “A4 size page”. Subdivide your cover letter into 3 paragraphs, and try to keep the cover letter within 350-400 words. The goal of your cover letter is to generate interest in the reader not to chock him to death with your uncontrolled biographical rattling.
Step 2: Name and address
Put name and address of recipient at the top on the left-hand side of the cover letter, and fold the cover letter putting names and address at the top.
Step 3: Use proper salutation
Do not begin your cover letter with “To Whom It May Concern” as it will not concern anyone. Find the name of the person you are sending your résumé, and use his second name (family name) as salutation as in Dear Mr. Jones, or Dear Ms. Lloyd. If you fail to get name of the person who will read your cover letter than you can simply write Dear Sir/Madam.
Step 4: 1st paragraph
Being this paragraph with writing why you want to work with the company followed by giving a brief introduction about yourself and talk about the academic qualification you have in brief (of course, I am assuming here that you fresher looking for your first job). Do not tell the reader everything you know. Say only as much as required to garner interest.
Step 5: 2nd paragraph
The second paragraph of your cover letter should consist of the things you learned while pursuing your highest degree, the degree on the basis of which you are applying for the job. Mention 5 to 7 key concepts that are relevant to the industry. Talk about cutting edge things that you learned.
Step 6: 3rd paragraph
Write how you can add value to the organization if you are hired. Just use 2-3 sentences to explain this.
Conclusion
You should sound confident while writing a cover letter, but avoid sound overconfident. You should sound sincere in seeking employment but never sound begging. It’s not good for health and morale. Be professional and sound like one. No one cares how you got that stain on your shoes. They just do not like stains.
