Work place stress is a very serious problem in every individual’s life and it is unavoidable due to demands of the work environment. Most individuals fail to cope with it. Stress creates a lot of tension in mind of people which leads to mental imbalance; reduced workplace efficiency, and unleashes Pandora’s Box in personal as well as professional life.

And I am sure each one of us wants to rid of these stresses but they can’t. Remember life is a way to walk through every phase and every phase of life follows critical point that is happiness and tensions. So by thinking all the way I came to the conclusion and will share with you all.

Numerous reasons or situation both in personal and professional lives causes stress in the life of an individual. There no fixed solution to overcome stress; but I would suggest some points which can prove beneficial.

  • Meditation: It’s very important thing to do in today’s world, do it regularly and enjoy self esteem.
  • Make your agenda for the day and follow(Create a to do list for every day)
  • Never think that you are powerless. Every individual has some power in their own, think and act.

  • Follow your instincts in most of the situations they are always correct.
  • Never get emotional with job related things, think wise and then react. It can help in improving decision making skills.
  • Whenever you feel low at work, stand up walk for a while come back and smile. You will forget everything and start fresh.
  • If your performance is low. Look at your Job description and discuss it with your supervisor. Remember, no one is perfect set your own standards.
  • Last but not the least do what you like spending time with family, listening music, think of your favorite things you wish to do in your life.

There is no proper way of doing things correctly. What an individual can do is self management. By doing this you not only enjoy your life but also builds a great self esteem in yourself. Employees feel good with no stress if they experience the knowledge and abilities matched to their work and also when support is received from supervisors and colleagues. Every Individual wants respect and appreciation, but how a person achieves them is totally depend on how they manage themselves in a critical situation.

Resume – A Human Interface!!



  “First impression is your last impression” we are all aware of it. Isn’t it?
Yes, and it applies to your resume. How? A resume is a mirror of every person; it advertises the individual’s skills and ability. A document designed and utilized by an individual to showcase their background and skills to secure their employment. Thus, when an individual creates their resume, it presents a comprehensive picture of marketability. Everyone is not aware about it and you can say not much concerned about their resume. This is the reason why an individual fails to find a proper job, whereas the job of the recruiter becomes tedious.

I would suggest following things to make your resume effective and valuable.

  • Keep it simple, formal & concise; Avoid designing, colors, Excessive bold typeface.
  • Mention your relevant contact information on the top of resume.
  • Put career summary in place of objective; it will give your brief overview about what you do? Who are you? What is your career goal & How effective and efficient you work?
  • Don’t mention excessive information about your organization. A few lines mentioning the company name, website and basic information is sufficient.
  • Highlight your accomplishment with job description- A hiring manager needs to know how successfully and effectively performed your occupation and attained your target. Thus, be exact and clear.
  • Specify your key skills and technologies you are well versed with. Don’t bloat your resume with things which you are not well-off.
  • Many organizations give a lot of preferences to education detail so, it’s very important to tell about your academic background with other certifications. Always put your recent degree/certification first.
  • Do not describe your family information no one is probably interested in it, if hiring manager wants to know much about it he will ask at the time of interview.
  • Last but not the least put your resume file name short and simple e.g. Name-2014.docx

Generally a resume get scanned in 25 seconds and it is difficult to scan if it is too lengthy with heavy design. Remember these points and implement in your resume.
