Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
Everyone nas heard ot the "placebo', a medication
that has no active ingredients but still has a positive
effect because the patient believes in it. A new term
being used lately is 'nocebo-. This refers to a per-
son's fear anxiety, and hopelessness resulting in
negative expectations to therapy. The result is failure
of the therapy. Positive thinking is a great healer,
Our three saliva glands secrete about 1.5 litres of saliva every day. The largest
ot these glands is the parotid gland. Remember the mumps when you were a
kid? 0 was these parotid glands that were swollen and so painful.
Women shouldn't use their saliva to wet eye makeup. Mouth bacteria can be
citified to the eye in this manner and cause infections. Also, sharing eye make-
up with another is not advised. It could transfer infection.

A well prepared resume will help you
get the job you are looking for!
A resume detailing an applicant's work history and
education is extremely helpful to an employer who
is seeking a person for a specific job vacancy.
Your personal resume should accompany
your letter of application.
Here are some guidelines to follow in preparing your resume:
O Make it clear, concise and easy to read - and no longer
than two pages
O The resumes should be typed on 8 1/2" x 11" white paper
with enough white space to prevent a cluttered look
O Start with your name, address and phone number
O Next under a sub -heading "Work History" detail the
previous jobs you've held - in reverse date order
- that is, last job first.
O Use a separate paragraph for each position and
precede it with the dates you held that position.
O State the job title, a brief description of the
responsibilities - and the results you achieved.
O The next section of your resume should come under the
sub -heading of "Education". Start with the highest
degree obtained or grade completed, followed by the .
name of the institution at which you studied. Follow
this with previous education attainments. At the end,
list any specific instructional courses you have
attended, in conjunction with your work.
O Under the sub -heading "Affiliations", list memberships
and/or offices held in professional or industry
associations.
O Under the sub -heading "Personal Interests" list any
activities which you feel will be of interest to the
employer - such as volunteer work, etc.
•
Your letter of application and your resume will be the
factors jhat make the employer decide whether to short
list ou for an Interview. So make It as Impressive
as you can - but stick to the facts.
We can help you get an impressive and
professional -looking resume
