Smart job-seekers need to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.

       Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain (means “get”) a job offer.

       Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want! So before you please an employer, be sure you want the job.

       Myth 2: Always please the interviewer

       Not true. Try to please yourself. Of course, don’t be hostile—nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. But there is plainly a muddle ground between being too ingratiating(逢迎)and being hostile.

       Myth 3: Try to control the interview

       Nobody “controls” an interview. When someone tries to control us, we resent(憎恨)it. When we try to control others, they resent us. Remember you can’t control what an employer thinks of you, just as he can’t control what you think of him. So he is ready to give and take when being interviewed; never control the interview.

       Myth 4: Never interrupt the interviewer

       Study the style of the effective conversationalists: they interrupt and are interrupted! An exciting conversation always makes us feel free—free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. Just hang loose. Try being yourself for a change. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you’ll have made an impression. Leaving an employer indifferent(冷漠的)is the worst impression you can make.

In November of 2007, NBC Universal launched its first official Green Week. Throughout the week, NBC Universal presented over 150 hours of environmentally themed content across multiple platforms.
Now, NBC Universal is proud to present Green Week 2009. With a new theme and message of "Green Your Routine," Here at NBC and NBC.com we celebrate our talent in the "The More You Know" PSA campaign, presenting green-themed tips in several of our daytime life, among several other features here on the "Green Your Routine" site.
Fashion & Beauty
Throw a clothes swap party! Dying for that sweater your friend wore the other day? Well, maybe she'll trade for that old T-shirt you have. Here's a website that helps you organize a swap party (www.swapstyle.com), or just plan your own!
Go natural with organic make-up. Applying unnatural products directly on your skin wasn't exactly what nature intended. Try switching to a line of organic make-up and cosmetics for a different way to bring out your natural beauty.
Home
Drop a brick in your toilet tank! Literally! According to the EPA, flushing makes up 30 percent of a household's water use (about three to six gallons per flush). By placing a brick in your toilet tank, you can help to conserve the amount of water used during each flush.
Wash clothes efficiently. 90 percent of the energy used in washing clothes is to heat the water. You can reduce your energy bill by washing in cold water and hanging items to dry.
Work
Print smarter. Printing and copying can be one of the most costly operations in any office. To save on ink and paper costs, print double-sided and try to fit more than one page on a sheet. More printing tips can be found here: lifehacker.com
Turn off your computer. Do you leave your computer on overnight? If so, you're using up a good amount of electricity. When you can, try turning off your computer and the power strip it's connected to. If you can't, at least shut off your monitor. Remember, screen savers don't save energy.
Transportation
Organize a carpool. There are many benefits to carpooling. You save on gas, reduce wear and tear on your car, and you get to ride in the HOV lanes. Get connected with your neighbours and co-workers to start sharing rides and check out this website for more tips: www.erideshare.com.
Lose the car, get a bike. If you live close to where you work, try taking a bike instead of driving. You'll keep in shape and save on gas!
Every small step and effort makes a difference! Be sure to GREEN YOUR ROUTINE!

Secrets of Being Popular

  To be honest, most people liked to be respected and admired by other people. These are some suggestions which can help you win popularity naturally:

1.__________

  It is a big mistake try to be liked by all people. When you want to impress other people and please them, it is impossible to avoid insincere praise. This will impress people for a short time, but it can not be continued for a long time. You have to base friendship on being your natural self and avoid always trying to win other people’s respect and admiration.

2.__________

  People appreciate those who are considerate of others. If you only talk about yourself and your achievements, people will try to avoid you. People naturally respect those who are willing to spend time listening to others. Only when we put other people’s needs before our own can we become well received by them.

3.__________

   There is no need to pretend to be someone you are actually not. If you are satisfied with who you are, you will allow your natural qualities to be noticed by other people, and this is what will naturally attract them. All real happiness and success come from inside. Besides, people will like you only when you accept yourself.

4.__________

   Learn to be generous and forgiving when you deal with other people. Forget their small mistakes, but appreciate their good points. If you go out of your way to appreciate the good qualities of others, then people will begin to like your generous spirit and be friendly with you.

5.__________

   Some people try to impress people by appearing to be wise and talking all about their own achievements. But when you enlarge your sense of your own value, you only increase your popularity with yourself. If you really do good things, there is no need for you to make your wonderful performance known to the public yourself. Others will do it for you.
