Resume writing tips
Recently I have been reviewing lots of resumes for some software positions in our team. So I decided to post some tips that might come in handy while preparing a resume.
My feedback is based on the resumes of the candidates having a BS/MS on Computer Science with zero to couple of years of industry experience.
It was written in informal emails in the context of resume style used in the US for industry jobs. The comments are available in here: csebuet.org.Â

Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget
These days I am reading this book; its opening my eyes. Now I can explain many behaviors in men and women in much better way than just getting mad at them:).
Here is a description of the book from Amazon:
Men and women ARE different . . . and this book from the founder of gender medicine uncovers the neuroscientific reasons behind age-old disputes between men and women, while providing a groundbreaking, authoritative, and reader-friendly guide to resolving these differences
Why won’t he ask for directions? Why does she always want to talk about the relationship? Why can’t he see that something is bothering her?* But perhaps the biggest questions Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget resolves are: Why is it so hard for men and women to understand each other . . . and what can we do about it?

US College Applications - start now for Fall 2007 admissions!
It does seem a little early to be thinking about college if you’re aiming to enroll in the fall of 2007. You’ll probably graduate around January or May of 2007, and you’re in grade 11 now. Just began grade 11 at that. You’ve just completed your O’levels or SSC exams, and looking forward to the last two years of highschool fun. Thinking of college? Surely it’s too early?
Admissions to US colleges is a lengthy process, particularly if you’re applying as an international student, and if you’re eager to be considered for financial assistance. It’s usually a good idea to get a head start into the process and now is as good a time as any. (more…)

Dealing with my toddler
These days I found a new way to discipline my toddler girl.
When she doesn’t want to do something and I feel she should, I come up with two options and ask her to pick one.
For example when she doesn’t want to share her toys with a guest baby, I give her two options: “which one you like to give her, this toy or that toy?”. She picks one.
Sometimes she doesn’t want to clean her face, I ask her if she wants to wash her face or take a bath. Obviously she prefers the face wash.
If I force her she gets upset whereas this way she thinks she is the one who made the choice so everyone is happy:). When she becomes more intelligent, she will say, “none”, then I will have to come up with a new strategy.
Another technique I use is to offer her some reward. For example, She likes to wach Barney after her dinner. So I say, If you can finish your veges/food we can watch Barney.  I do this with one caution though, I give her as much as she usually takes (so that it is feasible for her to finish the food). Also I notice if she has cold or anything, in that case no reward will bring her appetite back.

Breakfast - one important meal of the day!
Are you a breakfast skipper? If you are working hard on loosing weight and think it will help you loose weight by skipping breakfast,you are wrong!!
Many of us who want to loose weight or burn some calories often skip breakfast as it is easy to skip thru it and then eat a good lunch. This actually does the reverse. Breakfast (first meal of the day) enhances your metabolism to help your body work harder against obesity. Breakfast prevents your body to eat too much throughout the day. Learn more from the article at the link below and start eating a healthy breakfast every morning.

Mothers-in-law and Daughters-in-law:Friendship at an Impasse
From Dr. Apter Research paper:Â
An early reference to the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship presents a glowing image of commitment and loyalty. In the Bible, Ruth makes one of the great, classical declarations of love - to her mother-in-law, Naomi. But Ruth’s eloquence presents a lost ideal. A modern day Ruth, a 33-year-old barrister, who participated in my study, buried her face in her hands as she described a recent visit from her in-laws: “Normally I’m a reasonable and fair person. Normally, I am quick to appreciate other people’s qualities and to key into their point of view. But these virtues fail to materialize in the presence of my mother-in-law.” And Ruth’s mother-in-law Joyce, 59, is bemused by the split between how her daughter-in-law is with other people, and how she is in her presence: “I see her talking and laughing on the phone, and she’s a different person. With me she’s sullen and withdrawn.” Mother/daughter-in-law relationships often reach an impasse, yet very little research has been done to discover just what’s going on - and what’s likely to go wrong.
