Bloom time in Bengaluru

Its been bloom time in Bengaluru for a few weeks now. 

These flowering trees are an absolute pleasure, if one cares (or dares) to lift their gaze away from the traffic & the roads. 

Though I have captured only the pink ones, there is a riot of colours up there. 

A pity that they last only for a few weeks.

Moviez – Madhur Bhandarkar

About a couple of weeks ago I happened to see Madhur Bhandarkar’s Page 3. Enjoyed it thoroughly & got me interested enough to order in for Mr. Bhandarkar’s other movies over the next few days. 

From Page 3 → Traffic Signal → Fashion ….its been only downhill for me. Fashion – with great difficulty I managed to sit through the movie. 
Page 3 was good! 

Snaps from Aero India 2009, Bengaluru

Spent the Saturday morning at the Aero India show. In spite of the dust, sun & the huge crowd (seen in any Bengaluru event), the show was worth it. Got a ring side view of the machines on display & their aero antics. 

All the Digital SLR cameras around gave my Powershot TX1 a complex. But here goes some snaps from the event. Most of these were at full zoom (10x optical) & anti-shake has been pretty effective.


Common Resume Blunders

My 100th Blog Entry

I have come across many many articles on the subject of effective resumes. This article that I found on Monster today, is probably one of the better artciles around – Common Resume Blunders.  
  1. Too Focused on Job Duties – Instead focus on how you made a difference & highlight the achievements. 
  2. Too Short or Too Long – Ask yourself “Will this statement help me land an interview?” Every word should sell you, so include only the information that elicits a “yes.” 
  3. Using Personal Pronouns and Articles – no mentions of “I” or “me”. 
  4. Not Including a Summary Section That Makes an Initial Hard Sell – The summary should demonstrate the skill level and experiences directly related to the position being sought.
  5. Not Including Keywords – With so many companies using technology to store resumes, the only hope a job seeker has of being found is to sprinkle relevant keywords throughout the resume. Determine keywords by reading job descriptions that interest you, and include the words you see repeatedly in your resume.
  6. Typos – This document is a reflection of you and should be perfect.
