How to Write a Covering Letter for Job Application

Most people forget or ignore writing the covering letter while applying for a job, but is a great mistake. Don't do it Guys!

A covering letter is the most important part of your Resume as it reflects your passion towards the job you are applying. 

An effective covering letter should include your basic introduction such as your name, educational qualifications, and city where you reside.

Further, it must contain the name of the position you are applying for, just after the name and address of the person to whom you are applying (before "Dear Sir"). All these things must come in the first paragraph of your letter.

In second paragraph, you should state the reason why you applied for this specific job and why the employer should select you. 

You must state your qualities and skills here and give reason how they are fit for the applied position.

In the last paragraph, you must thank the person to whom you addressed your letter. Put date&place in the end, your signature just before your full name, and your covering letter is ready. An updated Resume must be attached to this covering letter.

An example for a perfect covering letter:

You should put date and place after your name. Also write, "Position Applied For: Position Name" just before "Dear" and align it centrally.

Workout without Working out!

The current trend of workouts, exercise, healthy diet, and lifestyle is actually expanding all over the globe but people find it very tough to take adequate time to pay full attention to health. The lives are very challenging and so is the work. 

The invention of flex belt provides a bit of relaxation to your health worries.

What is a Flex Belt

Actually, flex belt is an abdomen toning system and not an ordinary belt. Therefore, how people should get those astonishing 6 pack abs that they have always wanted without overlooking their work and other important activities? 

There is a good solution to this, and it is known as the flex belt. This product is a clinically confirmed, FDA authorized belt that is utilized to help in toning the muscles on your waist and make you appear smarter while making your desired 6 pack abs. 

However, if you have not heard of this belt, you may be doubtful of the claims and might take is as a rip-off. But, the belt is FDA approved and it is certainly not a scam. 

There are several positive customer reviews that actually speak in favour of the features of this belt. You can read all the reviews if you have any hesitation about the output of the belt. The belt operates by transmitting electronic signals to all the nerves in the body. 

It is really the primary electronic muscle stimulator of its kind and it has been duly passed as a rank II medical appliance by FDA. I have used it and felt the difference. It is a concept that should be encouraged.

Healthy Hot Beverages

With wife and daughter gone for shopping on this Sunday afternoon, after finishing my weekly quota of reading six newspapers, I was left with nothing to do.

Tired with getting bored, I began thinking of preparing some hot drinks which would be both tasty as well as healthy.

And, as soon i finished preparing the drinks, door bell shrieked, signalling the arrival of my daughter and her mom. 

As expected, wife yelled after seeing the 4 drinks on kitchen table, "OMG! you've again wasted my ingredients and gas. Will you ever learn to save money. Who will drink these experimental drinks of yours and that too 4 of them???What to do??/ and blah, blah, blah.......

Yours truly remained quite as usual.

How to Overcome Anxiety

We all feel anxious sometimes or the other.  Its perfectly normal to be anxious sometimes, no big deal about it. People feel anxious before appearing for an  interview, shifting to new location, switching to a new job, or when they are about to face things they fear, Its normal.  

Feeling anxious in such situations is natural. Everyone gets pangs of anxiety in some situations.  Short term anxiety is not bad. 

However, problem arises when anxiety stays for long term. Chronic anxiety might turn into anxiety disorder, which is a disease.  

Though medication is available for anxiety disorder but it is much better to cure it naturally, without any medications or with minimal medicines.  So, let's try to find out how we can treat anxiety in a natural way.

 But, first we must know what anxiety is ? Without identifying it, we can't treat it, No? We will try to understand anxiety is easy words and not in medical terminology that bounces over the head for most. 

So, Anxiety is our body's natural reaction to stress. Its a fear to unknown, or an apprehension about what comes next. If this feeling becomes extreme or stay, as i said, for a longer duration of time, it might  turn into an anxiety disorder. 

You will need certain measures, including medication in extreme cases, so as to cure it.

Anxiety Symptoms

Common symptoms of anxiety include

• confusion
• elated heartbeat or palpitations
• continuous negative thoughts
• feeling of helplessness
• muscular tension
• breathing difficulty
• apprehension

Treating Anxiety Naturally

Here, we will talk about how to treat anxiety naturally. And, it helps, believe me guys. Its helps to a great extent.

1. Prepare your routine: Having a routine in life is of utmost importance. It helps in keeping you busy and active, keeping negative thoughts away from you. It keeps your mind in discipline.

2. Exercise Regularly: Regular workouts are good for both mental and physical health.

3. Avoid Mind Stimulating Drinks: Do away with tea, coffee, energy drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Alcohol calms your nerves for a while but when its affect is over, you start feeling even more stressed and anxious than before.

4. Avoid Guilt feeling: There is no such thing as guilt. We are all humans and we err at times, its normal. But, carrying the feeling constantly that you did wrong would harm you in a big way. Avoid the guilt feeling at all costs. 

5. Smoking Kills: Stop smoking at once. Nicotine does irreparable harm to your brain and you may develop anxiety disorder in the long run.

6. Sleep Well: Insomnia is an associated symptom of anxiety. Get sound sleep of at least eight hours at night. Though it is easier said than done in case of anxiety patients, but you will have to try my friend, for your own good. Some steps in getting sound sleep that I can suggest are : 

• Do not doze off during the day. Sleep only at night when you are dead tired.
• Avoid watching TV, mobiles, or laptops once you get into the bed
• Avoid tea or coffee at least 3 hours prior to sleeping
• Wash your feet with warm water just before going to bed. It helps in calming your nerves, and thus, in getting you a sound sleep
• Avoid bed lamps or night bulbs in your bedroom.
• Postpone all your worries till next morning. Tell yourself, "I will attend to every matter next morning. Till then, let me sleep over it."
• Have a sleep routine and follow it strictly.

7. Meditate Daily: There is no such thing as mediation in treating anxiety. I have tried it and gained from it. It greatly helps in relieving stress and tension, and calms you down in a natural manner. 

Various research have shown that mediation is like an anti-depressant which aids in treating anxiety and associated symptoms. 

A 40 minute mediation would do wonders for you. 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening is like a mana from heaven for you.

8. Avoid Junk food and eat healthy diet that includes leafy vegetables, fruits, milk in it.

9. Deep Breathing: Do deep breathing on regular basis. You can do it all the time while sitting, walking, watching TV, or working. Its simple, Just inhale deeply and exhale, and watch your breath as it enters deep into your abdomen. 

Take slow and deep breaths. If you follow this practice for one day, you will be amazed to see the results. You will feel rejuvenated. 

10. Do some social service and mingle with people. This Would help in soothing your mind and provide a feeling of worthiness. 

11. Constantly remind yourself, " What's there to fear about? We all live and we all die. No big deal in this. Why am I unnecessarily worried? there's nothing to be worried about, all is well and all will be well. Just relax and enjoy." Repeat this to yourself few times a day. 

Do follow these steps and comment on this post when you see the results. I am sure anxiety would be a gone thing, provided you follow these steps religiously.

Ginsomin: A Rich Source of Nutrition

Modern life style prevents people from consuming nutritional food creating lots of problems in the long run in form of diseases. Ginsomin is an ideal supplement that helps to ensure vitality and potency from long term perspective.

As the word suggests, the medicine is created from the ancient Korean plant called GENSEING with the help of extensive research for the past many years.

One of the much important benefits of the product is its amazing capability to enhance the immune system of the body.

As a result, the body does not suffer from fatigue or other syndromes. A human being needs a suitable supply of vitamins and minerals so that they are able to deliver amazing results as far as health is concerned.

The medicine is created in the form of capsules containing Plant extract and vitamin D in large amount. Moreover, different versions of Vitamin B are also present to provide sufficient energy to an individual.

Ginsomin is not only useful for men butt also women because it contains 15 mg of iron as well as folic acid. Although standard dosage is one capsule per day, it can be increased depending on the suggestions of a medical consultant.

Calcium exists as a part of the composition because it helps to strengthen bones and wards of problems like rickets and osteoporosis.

The medicine is available in different countries such as Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Ghana and Indonesia to name a few. People suffering from lethargy can consume Ginsomin since it reinvigorates their physical and mental health.

If you are feeling low and cannot concentrate on the task, it’s time to switch over to supplementary capsules that eliminate the symptoms without any side effect. Popularity of the medicine has increased in recent times what with users buying it online in huge numbers.

Lastly, eating healthy and right diet is the key to fitness. If you eat right and seasonal food you would never need any supplements. If we remain close to nature and can make our routine in accordance with the nature, a number of diseases or deficiencies would cease to happen.

And, believe me, living in symphony with mother nature is not that difficult, once we set our mind to it.

What Does Democracy mean for me?

Democracy for me means everything. I cannot imagine life without democracy as it is a way of life and not a system. Living in a true democracy is a blessing which can be experienced only by the people who have opted for a democratic setup.

There are unfortunate people in this world who do not get to enjoy the fruits and goodness of a democracy. On the other hand, most of us take democracy for granted and do not care for it. We must understand that democracy requires some duties as well on behalf of its citizens.

As a matter of fact, democracy is like a second nature to me. I am free to do anything I like unless I do not violate the rule of the law. A true democracy allows me to openly express my viewpoint on the issues most sensitive.

It permits me to eat, speak, read, write, sing, and listen to whatever I like. It gives me a set of rights that no one can take away. And, these rights make me feel human since they guarantee the basic privileges as all humans must have so as to live decently.

Democracy, as they say, is of the people, for the people, and by the people. The essence is people come first in a true democracy. So, if people come first, they must also ensure that they are strengthening it continuously by their deeds and actions. This is vital because if we go on asserting our rights without doing our duties to democracy, soon it will crumble.

It must also be remembered that democracy is not for fools. Yes, I might sound harsh but it is true. Most responsible and intelligent of nations and people understand the value of democracy and try to preserve it.

As I said earlier, democracy is a way of life and, hence, we have to live it properly and in the most correct manner. An effective democracy offers so many rights that often, people might tend to misuse them. Thus, it becomes extremely necessary to understand democracy correctly.

It is the duty of people who are more resourceful and intelligent than others to educate their brethren and fellow countrymen about the values of a democratic system. The very basic of democracy is that it is spread equally among all.

Otherwise, the power will get confined to a handful of individuals and it will become a sham democracy, even worse than dictatorship. All the people living in a democratic country must, and I repeat, must know their rights and duties.

By knowing their rights, they will be able to use democracy at the fullest and by knowing their duties, they will make it stronger.

Further, if we look at the history of the world, countries that had a true democratic setup progressed and prospered, while those who had any other system, faltered in their way to progress.

In a democratic arrangement, a person gets a positive environment to create, invent, write, or build freely. When a person is free, creativity unleashes, thus, making the lives of others better.

In the end, I can only say that democracy is the best system that guarantees a decent and respectful lives to all human beings, as God would have wanted it when He created the world.

Highly Unorganized Indian Content Writing Industry

Hi Guys, Hope you are doing good in your lives. This topic was occupying my mind space from quite sometime now. So, i decided to vent it out.

Bear with me even if you do not agree with my views. In that case, come with your suggestions and feedbacks.

I have been writing since 5 years now and still i can't say that i am well "settled' in life, owing to the nature of work and the dynamics of this industry.

First of all, it is a low paying industry. I am sure this sentence must have brought smiles on the faces of my fraternity members. Yes, it is true. 

No one wants to pay content writers as they consider writing a work that requires no skill and is easy to do. People pay thousands of bucks to website developers and designers, but when it comes to pay content writers, they resort to excuses. 

Even writing companies, who earn revenues by offering content writing services to their clients throw tantrums while paying. 

Secondly, even for a writer like me who has been in this field for ample time, it is difficult to earn decent money through writing. 

For earning good money in writing industry, we would all agree, we need good and educated writers. (I can write good but i have a limit to how much i can write and deliver per day). 

But the problem is that even after so many years, content writing industry has failed beyond limits to attract nicely educated individuals who are ready to opt it as a career.

It is extremely difficult to employ good writers due to several reasons. First, it is hard to pay reasonable amount to the writers as employers already work on tight budget. 

So, money is the primary obstacle in obtaining good writers. Second, the writers are mostly school going guys and hence, cannot be depended upon as to for how many they would work. 

Then, housewives, retired people all have their limitations and cannot spare much time for writing. 

Most of the writers, i have tested for my projects are casual and do not take this work seriously. They write ineffective content, miss deadlines, and worse, if you try to improve them with their writing, they threaten to leave or sometimes leave without any trace.  

This has been a consistent problem i have been facing ever since i decided to employ writers. 

Then, let us come to the clients. A number of clients, i have experienced, have no clear vision about what they want from content they have ordered. 

They keep on demand changes and insist on modifying the content, without even telling the poor writer what they expect from the content. Such clients frustrate the writers.

I am not saying that the clients shall not ask for modification but they must keep their goals and aims clear while ordering the content. Doing so, will not only help them but also the writers and industry as a whole. 

Clients running away and not paying for the content is a common problem and goes on unchecked. Such frauds have forced many good and honest writers to quit the industry.  

What is seriously needed for content writers is an effective and vibrant association that can look into such cases and alert writers about them. 

This can also solve the pricing issue as the association can fix a minimum amount for various kinds of content writing work. 

Will discuss more about the issue in my next blog post. Please comment and send your feedback.

             

Understanding PCOS

Guys, I have done a bit of research on PCOS. I would like to share it with the ladies suffering from this dreaded disease. 

I aim to help such women by making them understand as to what really PCOS is and how does it affects the overall health of a suffering lady. I would do a series on this disease. your feedback is required.

PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a disease that occurs in about 5 to 10% of women within their reproductive age. This condition has symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, and abnormal ovulation, amplified body hair, acne and increased body mass index (BMI).

In the syndrome like PCOS the women ovaries usually contain many micro cysts that look like string of pearls just below their ovarian surface spread by the overgrowth of their ovarian connective tissue, known as stroma. 

Women with PCOS often carry a family history of diseases like diabetes with insulin resistance. This fundamental diabetic profile can play a significant role in developing PCOS which contributes to developing obesity and even a tendency of coronary vascular disease.

These women are certainly at the risk of having ovarian, uterine and even breast cancer during the later stages of their life. They need to be evaluated for these types of conditions frequently than those with no syndrome of PCOS.

Most of the women having PCOS generally do not ovulate or ovulate with irregularity. As a result, they go through a delayed or irregular menstruation in addition to being chromosomal abnormal. 

The poor quality of egg results in an overexposure to the male hormones and the two factors result in a poor reproductive performance in women suffering from PCOS.

They are also at an over responding risk to the fertility drugs and they risk may lead to the complications that can be life endangering. 

Also, when they receive fertility agents after hCG trigger shot, they use to release many eggs at a time and this may increase the chances of multiple pregnancy by 40 percent and high order multiple by about 10 to 20 percent. This situation has some devastating consequences.

There are many varieties of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome such as Hypothalamic pituitary PCOS, Adrenal PCOS, PCOS linked with pelvic adhesive disease.
