While many people are not aware of it most employers do not spend a lot of time looking at a resume. In fact, most resumes are only glanced over for a few seconds of time. This means that you have a very short amount of time in which to make your case and assure an employer that you are the right person for the job. It is little wonder that so many people are concerned about resume writing when so much is riding on creating the perfect resume. Knowing about the most common mistakes made when writing a resume will help you to avoid them and create a resume to land you an interview.
Resume Writing Mistake #1: Ignoring Accomplishments and Focusing On Duties Performed
In resume writing, it is critical that you make sure that you focus on your accomplishments rather than duties or responsibilities. You must demonstrate the contributions that you have made to previous employers. For example, did you help the company reduce expenses, or improve processes and solve problems that came up? If so, these are things that you need to point out on your resume. Create interest in them through the use of bullet points.
Resume Writing Mistake #2: Focusing on your Own Needs Instead of the Employer's
Avoid the mistake of solely concentrating on your needs when you are in the process of writing a resume. A potential employer has a reason and a need for filling a position - it is up to you to communicate how you are the perfect candidate for the job. Set your own needs aside and focus on the employer's needs in your resume writing for the best results.
Resume Writing Mistake # 3: Failing to Use Key Words
Resume writing today is much different today than it was ten years ago. Today, many people submit their resumes online in order to reach a larger number of employers. If you are going to submit your resume online, you need to make sure you utilize keywords correctly. Search through existing job listings and postings to get a good idea of what keywords you should use.
Making sure that you avoid these mistakes in your resume writing can help you to create a well crafted resume that will be certain to grab an employer's attention and survive that critical 30-second test scan so that you can move on through the next phase of the process.

How I Used The Fresh Papaya (PawPaw):
The fruit was to be consumed ‘As is’ because we always have a small plate of fruit everyday around 5 pm.
I planned on adding a teaspoon of seeds into my Yogurt at lunchtime.
The ‘Coleslaw’ I would add to any Salad (even in a sandwich) as it’s summertime in Oz and we are eating a lot of Salads. Don’t know what I am going to do in the Winter though? If you have any ideas please add them as a comment so everyone can benefit.
I had also planned on five serves per day because I thought it would be better to ‘Drip Feed’ it into me, as my wife thinks I am a ‘Drip’ sometimes anyway – so that should fit.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.
So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.
My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:
- a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
- b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.
I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.
So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.
The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative
Prostate Treatments and Me.
Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests 
So this is the latest:
My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.
HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.
An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
