How much do we miss?
Washington DC, a subway station on a cold January morning 2007th A man with a violin playing Bach in an hour. During the hours pass about 2,000 people. After three
my gaming attention of a middle-aged musician and drag down the pace of his steps. He stops a few seconds and then continue on.
After 4 min:
Violinist gets his first dollar. A woman throws the coin in his hat, without stopping.
After about 6 min:
A young man leaned against the fence and listen for a while, but look quickly at the clock and move on.
After 10 minutes:
One child in three-year-old stops, but the mother pulls him further. (Several children stopped but was without exception, forced their parents)
After 45 minutes:
violinist have played continuously. Only six people have stopped and listened for a moment.
Some 20 people have put money in his hat, but most of them without slowing up. The violinist got together $ 32 total.
After 1 h:
Musicians stops playing and there is silence. No one will notice that he stops, no one applauds.
Truth:
Musicians who play are Joshua Bell, one of the greatest living violinists and musicians. He played some of Bach's most challenging pieces in a violin worth $ 3.5 million dollars.
Two days earlier, Joshua Bell sold-out houses in Boston, the tickets cost an average of $ 100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell inkognitospelning at the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a sociological exsperiment about perception, taste, and people's priorities.
It asks: "Are we even noticed the beauty of an environment at an inappropriate time? We stop to appreciate the beauty? Do we recognize a talent in an unexpected context? How many of us go to great concerts and pay good money for something we do not have the sense to appreciate? "

CV - 10 easy tips
I've been trusted to work as a job coach with quite a lot through the Employment Service and would like to come out for more on how a good resume can look.
to write their CV so that it gets noticed and read is not always the easiest but with some tips and tricks, you can "Pimp" up your resume so it stands out and gets read by the recruits.
Think Newspaper
first A good headline, photo, three strong words or three very short sentences describe yourself in a good way, there may be properties or areas you are good at. More powerful, it will be if you write words that start with the same letter.
second Something that captures the interest in early and have more details later, remember to write legibly, that it is spelled correctly, not for long sentences or the strange word.
third A good layout so that your CV stands out in a stack of other papers.
4th Have the most interesting in the upper right corner, sometimes reading a recruiter is not more than 30 seconds, personal information, you can write at the bottom instead. Write what you know and what you want! Ex Sales Manager looking for aggressive sales-oriented company, Receptionist with good language skills for international business.
5th Can you see the results you will be more interesting. eg Activity :..... Results :....... All companies are interested in results.
6th Organize your previous jobs in reverse chronological order, ie with the most recent first
Roll - Company - In (You do not need to date)
Consider whether anything you do in life would be an asset, you probably have more skills than you first is aware of.
7th Training can also be in reverse order, was brief. Language and computer skills - depending on industry, most assume that you have some computer skills and can at least English.
8th Trust can be useful to include especially if you are new to the labor market, you have much more in your CV may be considered noise
9th Please write out who are your references and their contact number or address - to ensure that they are taking added.
10th Finish with your name, phone number and email address, address, you also have to, you have a good LinkedIn profile, you can write it too but do not write all your profiles on lots of different places, it becomes too much.
Good luck!
