Play it smart with Resumes

Getting a job in most cases is a tricky affair. Everyone wants to be the high roller with the big pay cheque. However, don't forget the fact that the resume or CV plays a huge part in even getting you to the interview stage.

Forget the skills or experience part too. While naturally they place some part, if your resume isn't well presented and setup correctly - you'll fail at first base most times. HR managers and employer review panels will toss your application straight into the trash!

How to make a resume work? Well firstly it's all about getting maximum say for little space, you want to give the reader plenty of your good points in a small amount of space. If things get too long, generally the reader gets bored and tosses it. Having a photo is always a good idea, a small portrait of your face on the first page is a smart move. (If you're shockingly ugly, maybe shy away from this part and get a good make over come interview day) Interviews are a different story and can be hard to do on their own. (More on successful job interviews in our next article) However, setting yourself apart in the resume is critical to making your resume work.

Be smart, be unique and if possible get help - pay to have your resume cleaned up or presented professionally

Smart Blackjack Strategy

Smart Blackjack Strategy:

Many stats guru's have worked out that by utilizing a solid blackjack strategy will start taking away most of the casino's house advantage. When computers came along, blackjack folks were able to start simulating many-millions of blackjack hands in virtual games, using the computer and the data results to develop what is now known as blackjack basic strategy.

Smart or Basic blackjack strategy is based on this statistical analysis and the fact that the player may choose to double down or split when favorable, and gets paid 3:2 for blackjack. In basic strategy the dealer must adhere to the rules and stand on 17 and above, cannot double down or split and only gets paid 1:1 for blackjack.

It is a fact that the dealer has more than a 35% chance of busting if their face-up card is a 3, 4, 5 or 6. So in this case, if you have a total of 13 to 16 you should stand, as the dealer has a good chance of busting (as do you, but you can choose not to hit whereas the dealer must hit with the same total). However, if the dealer has a 7, 8, 9, 10 or Ace, you should take another card, as there is a high probability that the dealer's face down card is a 10, and their hand will beat you.
