How to Write a Good Management Consulting Resume?

The most important thing you have to keep in mind when you make your management consulting resume is to always keep in mind what the consulting firm is looking for (and include this on your resume). In the end, each consulting firm is more or less looking for the same elements on your resume. When I receive a resume, the first thing I always do, is simply check whether all key elements are demonstrated (preferably backed with numbers).

How to Avoid Being a Disguised Employee

Ever since the Nashua Corporation declared that they could no longer provide their employees with a job for life in 1985, the boundary between who is self-employed and who is a disguised employee have been blurred. The tax advantages of being self employed in the UK, and the US for that matter, far outweigh those of being an employee. Consequently, legislation was introduced, by the then Labour Government, to prevent employees from pretending to be independent contractors.

Vegetarianism Basics - Everything You Need to Know

Vegetarianism is both a diet regimen and a lifestyle. It is marked by eating only plant-based foods and shunning meat like pork and beef. While pure vegetarians or vegans only consume plant foods and consider all meat, including fish, and anything derived from meat sources, such as eggs and dairy, off-limits, there are other kinds of vegetarians who allow dairy products into their diet. They are called lacto-ovo-vegetarians. Flexitarians or semi-vegetarians eat mostly a vegetarian diet but partake of meat occasionally.

Stop Procrastination Before It Kills Your Dreams

Procrastination is the thief of dreams that stalks us all day long. We love a life of ease and comfort. When given a choice, we opt for the path of least resistance. Tomorrow seems to be our favourite work. We will do it tomorrow. We leave for tomorrow what we can do today. Procrastination has done a lot of harm to goals, dreams, relationships, our health and virtually every area of our lives. We have left saying "I love you" until it was too late. We have allowed some quarrels to go down to the grave because we kept postponing reconciliation until it was too late. Procrastination is the culprit to virtually all of our regrets in life; not spending enough time with the kids when they were young, not eating right or keeping to an exercise regime, not making that phone call and going for that opportunity, not expressing our feelings and countless other things we left till tomorrow.

Giving Timeless Gifts

The thesaurus defines a gift as something given freely with no recompense. I stood in line at a Target store in Kirkwood, Missouri, and watched in awe as a woman spent $800.00 for Christmas gifts. She did this without breaking a sweat. I couldn't help but wonder what it must be like to have the luxury of being able to spend that kind of money for gifts with no sense of stress whatsoever. Included in her cart were toys, clothes, a large piece of furniture, games, videos, and books. How many of those books will be around in twenty years? How many of those toys will still be useful next year? And how many of those videos will be watched? So what are the best gifts and when is the best time to give them? Every item in both of our carts will lose their usefulness.
