    Gum Removal in Air Terminals
    So many people use air terminals for their travel that it is virtually impossible to avoid finding gum throughout the terminal. Adding to the problem of gum removal in air terminals is the fact that even in the terminals' shops and stores, chewing gum is sold. Chewing gum machines allow people to buy gum easily, without having to set foot in one of the stores. Chi

    How To Promote Your Business To Thousands While You Drive

    Many professional resume writers strongly recommend including an objective statement on your resume. I agree...under one condition. It has to be so good that it reaches out and COMPELS the reader to call you for an interview. Most aren't.

    If you're interviewing a prospective resume writer (and you should definitely interview them before hiring them), ask him for a respresentative object statement from his porfolio. Is it compelling to you? What's compelling to you might not be compelling to somebody else, but what's NOT compelling to you probably wouldn't excite anybody else.

    If you came to me asking for help on your resume (and people have done that frequently), I would counsel you to avoid an objective statement. Instead I'd recommend you use a summary statement instead.

    What's that?

    It's a compelling marketing tool that outlines your big-ticket, attention-grabbing accomplishments and skills. You might call it the cover letter at the start of your resume.

    A summary statement should do what your cover letter is designed to do: compel an interview. Period. If a person reads your laser-focused, compelling cover letter, then moves to your resume to see if this too-good-to-be-true person is real, the first thing he should see is an equally strong opening. If he doesn't, the anticlimax can be extreme.

    Here's the summary statement I used to use on my IT Manager resume (a LONG time ago):
