If you have tried it once, you can surely convince someone else about it. Therefore, don't think twice before you give a try. Remember, when you are in the job market, the employer does not care that you have the skills or a great education.A job that requires experience is just like the job market that runs a great number of candidates out. They do not care that you have been writing resumes for a long time. Therefore, always give your best when you are writing your resume.Resumés have very important things in it such as dates, names, position, salary and locations. You should think about the latter and show your desire to go to a specific location. When you are offered a job and give the job to someone else, you should be able to give your best performance in the company and earn more money. This is what your resume must achieve.

The Best Ways to Stay Focused at Work, According to Highly Successful Business People
The Best Ways to Stay Focused at Work, According to Highly Successful Business People In todayâs microwave societyâ"where more data is created in one year than the last 5,000 yearsâ"itâs a herculean task to stay focused. Getting distracted may seem innocuous, but the consequences are disastrous over time: lost productivity, falling revenues, and a gnawing ever-present sense of missed opportunities. These overachievers and members of The Oracles share their strategies to sharpen your focus, prolong your concentration, and beat distractions once and for all. Lewis Howes Courtesy of The Oracles 1. Think about urgency and regret. You never know when your last day will be, so live from a place of urgency to usher your ideas and dreams into reality. Donât wait for it to be your last day and regret that you didnât create something meaningful. Get clear on precisely what you want, then move past any doubts or fears through massive, urgent action. Doing this is a mental game for me: I keep score on how well Iâve done each day. â"Lewis Howes, former pro athlete, lifestyle entrepreneur andNYT-bestselling author; subscribe to Lewisâs global top-100 podcast phenomenon,The School of Greatness on iTunes! Mark Divine Courtesy of The Oracles 2. Bunker down in a secret location. As a business leader, the demands on my time in the office are immense. No matter my determination to do deep, focused work, I ultimately get interrupted or find myself eagerly solving the problem. Organizations tend to defer decisions to the leader whoâs in the vicinity and âon the clock.â So, my number one tactic for radical focus is spending one to two days a week out of the office, in a âsecret location.â There, I get important thinking, writing, and other creative work done with zero distractions. To maximize productivity, I mentally prepare for deep work with a focusing ritual that includes deep breathing and visualizing my desired end state. I chunk my work into 45-minute blocks and do some movement and yoga between those deep work sets. Concentration and focus must be trained. By designating special time and space to do focused work, youâll train your brain to do it better. â"Mark Divine, retired U.S. Navy SEAL commander, NYT/WSJ bestselling author, founder of SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind; follow SEALFIT on YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram Chris Harder Courtesy of The Oracles 3. Ask if itâs a âheck-yesâ opportunity. Hereâs the trap: The more successful you become, the more shiny opportunities offer themselves to you. These opportunities may be great, but not great for you right now. A great opportunity at the wrong time is just a distraction. Always ask yourself, âIs this a heck-yes opportunityâ"right now?â Otherwise, default it automatically to âno.â This question keeps you out of the âgrey areaâ where good opportunities become stressful commitments. If you donât have the willpower to say ânoâ to shiny distractions, form an âadvisory boardâ consisting of two to three friends who know you well, understand your goals, and have a good business mind. Run every opportunity through them for input. This tactic also makes saying ânoâ easierâ"you just blame the decision on your âadvisory board.â â"Chris Harder, philanthropist, coach, founder, and CEO of For the Love of Money; follow Chris on Instagram Kenny Rueter Courtesy of The Oracles 4. Resist âdoing it all.â Remove everything from your life thatâs unnecessary or simply a diversion. Youâll be left with a bunch of worthwhile things to accomplish. Now, hereâs where most entrepreneurs mess up: They attack everything at once. Soon, theyâre overwhelmed from juggling too many things and feel guilty for not giving adequate focus to anything. The simple cure? Have a top-priority item. (I use the Todoist app and keep a running list of my highest priority targets.) Pick only one thing, the most important thing to accomplishâ"even if itâs difficult or daunting. Stay focused until you check it off. Then move to the next. â"Kenny Rueter, co-founder of Kajabi Nafisé Nina Hodjat Courtesy of The Oracles 5. Find something to obsess about. When you find something you love, focus comes naturally. When I started as a civil litigation lawyer, I excelled but hated it. Meanwhile, when friends of friends got into trouble with the law, they insisted I represent themâ"even though I had no criminal defense experience. I did a great job on each case because I was obsessed with the outcome and cared about my clientâs life. However, my partner at the time didnât want me to pursue criminal defense, so I begrudgingly stayed in the civil field. Fortunately, I had another obsession: writing. I wrote kidsâ yoga books and about my experiences with cars and racing. I simply wrote because I was obsessed with it, which compensated for my professional discontent. Finally, when I started criminal defense full time in 2014, it became difficult to not focus on my cases. Colleagues and mentors said I cared too much about my clients and their cases. Then I came across the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, which advocates this approach. My career has been a beautiful obsession since. â"Nafisé Nina Hodjat, founder and managing attorney of The SLS Firm Nik Halik Courtesy of The Oracles 6. Create a five-step customized strategy. Every entrepreneurâs methods for staying laser-focused is unique. Iâve incorporated these strategies for optimal performance. First, make stress your friend. Stress is not your enemy; itâs a valuable tool if you harness its force. Your mental faculties are heightened when youâre pushed against a tough problem or deadline. Second, develop a morning routine. Make it a habit to get up an hour earlier. Start your day with breathing exercises and meditation. Donât allow the digital world to control the first hour of your day. Third, break your work into 90-minute blocks. Forget the standard 9-to-5 mentality. Learn your bodyâs natural ultradian rhythms, and then schedule your most important and productive work in time blocks. Take 25-minute breaks at the end of each block. Four, create recharging rituals for your body, emotions, and mind. A body ritual might be a brisk walk. An emotional ritual might be gratitude. A mental ritual might be turning off your phone. Lastly, optimize your sleep. Sleep isnât a necessary evil or distraction from work; itâs a vital, natural way to recharge. The standard âeight hours per nightâ is more of a guideline; I sleep six hours per day with a siesta power nap. This biphasic sleep pattern (six hours plus 25 minutes) is my ideal sweet spot. â"Nik Halik, angel investor, entrepreneur, astronaut, extreme adventurer, CEO of 5 Day Weekend; follow Nik on social media Tom Shieh Courtesy of The Oracles 7. Donât chase two rabbits. âThe man who chases two rabbits catches neither.â â" Chinese Proverb Whatever youâre working on, be fully there. Otherwise, youâll find yourself at home thinking about work, and at work thinking about home. Youâll work on the companyâs vision, then feel like youâre neglecting the daily operations. Youâll be entrenched in the operations, then feel like youâre missing out on the newest âflavor of the monthâ to scale your business. Itâs not that you canât multitask or that these tasks are mutually exclusive. You can excel in many thingsâ"just not simultaneously. The best way I focus is scheduling my areas of focus directly on my calendar. I schedule the time to work out, be with family, think, read, answer emails, and just be free. This may seem rigid. Ironically, this kind of structure actually creates greater freedom. â" Tom Shieh, CEO of Crimcheck; connect with Tom on Facebook Peter Hernandez Courtesy of The Oracles 8. Create a fierce focus culture. âYou canât depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.â â" Mark Twain In a world that follows the pack, if you want to build something special, fierce focus is not just what you doâ"itâs how your entire organization must think. This is the only way to avoid the trap of caving into the norm and losing the essence of your core difference. Fierce focus is only achieved across an organization when each person understands their purpose in the organization and then sets clearly defined, measurable goals to achieve that purpose. Every new idea or opportunity must be forced through that intense âfocus filter.â If the project doesnât contribute to your purpose, you simply shouldnât do it. â"Peter Hernandez, president of The Western Region at Douglas Elliman; founder and president of Teles Properties Want to share your insights like those above in a future column?
