10 Tips for Top Notch References (Who to ask and why)

Summer is a great time to find people—think summer employers— who are willing to serve as references for your full-time job search. Kelli Robinson offers tips on how to put that important list together.

References available upon request is  a statement that can make or break your job offer.  Here are 10 tips for assembling a successful reference list.

1. Ask, don’t assume.  Ask your references for permission to use their names. Confirm the following:
   
   • Do the people you include as references actually want to give you a reference?
   • Does their schedule permit time to discuss your qualifications?
   • Most importantly, what kind of reference will they be?
     When it comes to references, neutral is the same as negative, so ask your contacts to be honest:  Can the people you ask to do this task give you a positive recommendation?
   
   
   
2. Let the professionals do the job.  Potential supervisors are not interested in hearing friends or relatives talk about how nice you are. They want confirmation for their main objective:  Are you going to deliver the duties of the job?
   
   Good reference sources include previous supervisors, co-workers, professors, or advisers.  Think outside the box.  If you voluntarily coordinated a fund-raising effort for an organization, the organization’s supervisor could be a great reference.  It doesn’t matter that you weren’t paid.
3. Avoid name dropping.  A reference’s name or job title is insignificant compared to the information he or she will provide regarding your strengths and weaknesses.  CEO may be a loftier title than supervisor; however, who can better attest to your abilities on a daily basis?
4. Provide references with the appropriate tools.  Give each reference a copy of your resume, so that he or she has a complete picture of your background.  Provide a description of the job to which you are applying.  Knowing the duties and responsibilities ahead of time will prepare references for questions they may be asked and help them relate your experience to the potential job.
5. Alert them to potential phone calls.  Contact your references and tell them to anticipate a phone call or e-mail.  Tell them the name of the company, and the position for which you interviewed. If you know the name of the person who will check your references, offer that information, too.
6. Keep your references informed.  Were you offered the job?  If so, did you accept?  When will you start?
7. Thank your references.  When you accept a job offer, take the time to write each of your references a thank-you note.  They have been a valuable tool in your receiving an offer.
8. Keep in touch. Don’t end contact with your references.  Send an e-mail, give them a phone call, or meet for lunch on occasion.  You never know when if and when you may need to call upon them to be references in the future.
9. Update your list.  Just like resumes become outdated, so do reference lists.  As your career builds, keep your reference list up-to-date.
10. Return the favor.  Your references may have been the deciding factor in your job offer. When you are asked to be a reference, say yes.

UMTS Network Design & Cost

UMTS Network Design & Cost pdf

A design exercise was carried out in order to assess the deployment cost of national UMTS networks in the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz bands. The design was carried out to provide voice & data coverage to 95% of the population and 80% of the geographic area of the Republic of Ireland. The number of base-station sites required for a 900 MHz network was found to be 533, 1013 for an 1800 MHz network and 1243 for a 2100MHz network.
Dimensioning was then carried out for an assumed subscriber profile giving a requirement for seven RNC’s to switch 4.28Gbps of traffic. The core network was then also dimensioned.
In estimating the cost of network deployment, the following network model was taken into account.

Detailed pricing was examined for turnkey rollout, the Radio Access Network (RAN), the core network, the service layer, mediation, provisioning, middleware & applications, network management and customer management.
All hardware pricing are estimates. Vendors do not publish pricing, and hardware costs are generally blended into turnkey packages including services and O&M. Vilicom has estimated pricing based on the projects on which it has worked internationally. The following costs were calculated based on recent network deployment costs for UMTS networks internationally.

Top 10 Annoying Habits at Work

1. You're Unprepared: "Showing up for meetings, interviews or arranged work sessions without the equipment or data that you need demonstrates a lack of respect for your coworkers and yourself," says Star. "And it wastes time. Get off on the right foot, and make like a scout and be prepared."

2. You're Not a Team Player: "You have to be willing to pitch in when another member of the team needs help," Star says. "There's nothing more annoying than watching somebody do a crossword puzzle while you're buried in work." And if a coworker needs a little time off to run an important errand, be flexible and help out when you can, she suggests.

3. You're Not Self-Reliant: Only ask for help when you really need it. "Giving up on the paper jam after only one try and expecting a coworker to fix it because you know she can does not contribute to good team spirit," says Star. Try everything you can to solve your own problem before involving somebody else.

4. You, Umm, Smell: Your scent is important, especially when you're working in a small, poorly ventilated space with lots of other people around. Be considerate of your neighbors by taking care not to generate strong smells that will permeate their space.

For instance, don't eat eggs or onions in the office, Star suggests. And if you smoke, be sure you air yourself out before you walk back in the office. The same goes for colognes. "Fragrance is a very personal choice, so it should be reserved for those who are close to you, not 20 yards away," says Star.

5. You're Loud on the Phone: Loud telephone conversations can be offensive to your neighbors, so try to keep your voice low and even. And keep personal calls short. "Phone fights or, worse yet, phone foreplay can really drive one up a wall after a certain point," says Star. "Remember that you are not in your living room."

6. You're Unhealthy: If you're sick, stay home. If you have the sniffles or must come in, cover your mouth and do whatever you can to avoid infecting your coworkers.

7. You Walk Like an Elephant: Try to move around the office quietly to avoid disturbing the people around you. And if you must speak to another colleague, keep your voice down.

8. Your Cell Phone Is Always On: Unless absolutely necessary, cell phones should be turned off while you're in the office. If you need to keep your phone on, use a soft or silent ringer or vibrate mode.

9. Your Computer Volume Is Blasting: Nobody wants to hear somebody else's bells and whistles when they're trying to concentrate.

10. You Shake Hands Like a Fish and Avoid Eye Contact: "When somebody won't look me in the eye or give me some energy in their handshake, I feel like they're avoiding me or snubbing me in some way," Star says. "I like a firm handshake and a friendly smile."

UMTS Layer 3

UMTS Layer 3 pdf

RRC is located at Layer 3 in the control plane of the access stratum (AS). It resides in
the UE and the UTRAN – at the Node B (UE in idle mode) or SRNC (UE in connected
mode). RRC provides signalling transfer services to higher layers through service
access points (SAP). Higher layer signalling messages are encapsulated within RRC
messages for transmission over the radio interface. NAS higher layer entities using
the services of RRC in this way are:
• Call Control (CC), which deals with set-up, maintenance and clear-down of circuitswitched
calls.
• Session Management (SM), which deals with set-up, maintenance and clear-down
of pocket-switched sessions.
• Mobility Management (MM), which deals with all mobility issues involving tracking of
UEs as they move from area to area. Related to this is GPRS Mobility Management
(GMM) which does the same for packet-mode operation.
• Short Message Service (SMS), dealing with SMS message delivery.

UMTS Layer 2

UMTS Layer 2 pdf

Layer 2 is comprised of Medium Access Control (MAC), Radio Link Control (RLC),
Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) and Broadcast Multicast Control (BMC).
Transport Channels form the service access points between MAC and the physical
layer. Logical channels form the service access points between MAC and RLC. Radio
Bearers or Radio Signalling Bearers form service access points between L2 and
higher layers (e.g. Radio Resource Control or RRC).
Peer RRC, RLC and MAC entities exist in the UE and either the Node B (idle mode) or
SRNC (connected mode).
RRC controls the L2 protocols to set up, maintain and clear down connections with
appropriate QoS.

HOW TO WRITE A COVER LETTER

Along with a good resume, a good cover letter is equally important in getting a job.

Cover Letter Guidelines

Here is a standard approach to cover letters that can be adapted as needed for each of the situations listed. Virtually every good cover letter follows these guidelines.

I. Present A Good Appearance

Your contacts with prospective employer should always be professional. Buy good quality stationary and matching envelopes. The standard 8-1/2 by 11 inch paper size is usually used. The preferred colors are white, ivory or light beige paper.

The cover letter should always be typed, on a very fine quality office typewriter or on a letter quality or laser-based computer printer.

It would be foolish to prepare a first quality resume and then to include with a cover letter typed on an old home portable typewriter or on a dot-matrix computer printer. Try to use a word processor with letter quality output.

Do it right! Doing it right also means that you never mass produce a cover letter. Cover letters are individually prepared, individually written, individually typed or printed, and the material in it should be aimed direct ly at the target, the market, the recipient.

II. Use An Appropriate Format

Any standard business correspondence format is acceptable. Look at the examples for ideas.

Impersonal letters are not given a warm reception by employers. They may indeed, be treated the same way as you treat mass-produced advertising materials you receive in the mail. They go into the wastebasket!

Because the cover letter is a personal form of correspondence, you should use the name of the person who will receive the letter. Learn it, and then spell it correctly.

If you are using the cover letter to send a resume as a follow-up on a phone conversation or after a face-to face meeting, you will ruin a wonderful opportunity if you misspell the name, title, the name of the organization, or even a word within the letter.

III. Provide a Friendly Review

Begin the letter with a reminder of any prior contacts and the reason for your correspondence now.

Explain how you learned of the employer, why you are interested in the organization and state the type of position you are seeking.

IV. Target Your Skills and Experiences

To do this well, you must know something about the organization or person with whom you are dealing. Present any relevant background that may be of particular interest to the person you are writing.

Highlight your qualifications for the position. Use one or two power-packed sentences describing how your capabilities can benefit the employer and how you can handle the job.

State your resume, which further details your qualifications, is enclosed.

V. Define The Next Step

Don't close your letter without clearly identifying wha t you will do next. Most writers of cover letters make one major mistake above all others. It comes in the closing paragraph. It is so common that some books written by well-known resume authorities show it as "the correct way." It is not correct. The mistake is this: In the closing paragraph, the writer mistakenly says:

"My home telephone number is 000-0000, and I may be reached there between the hours of 4 and 6 PM daily. Please call me to arrange an interview."

In the minds of knowledgeable people, this is a signal that the letter writer is lazy. Why? Because it says:

"I'm at home, and I want you to call me if you are interested."Instead, it is recommended that you say you'll call, that you do call, and that you continue to call, until you get through. If they are truly eager to call you, they have your number on a resume, or can find it easily enough at the bottom of your letter. But by your willingness to call, you show a sense of interest, enthusiasm and willingness to work that the "you call me" letter writer will never be able to imply.

---

Here is a guideline of a cover letter:

Full Address With Zip Code

Date

Name

Title

Company or Agency Name

Full Address - Zip Code

Dear ________________,

Tell where you heard of the opening or why you have selected this employer for an inquiry.

Describe your interest in the position, in the field of work, or in the organization. Mention your related education. If you have work experience, be sure to mention pertinent data or accomplishments to show that you have specific qualifications in this field or for what particular type of work.

Refer the employer to your resume. Enlarge upon anything in it which relates to the job of employer. Indicate that you are willing to provide additional data.

The closing paragraph should suggest your eagerness in arranging an interview. Include your telephone number and the times when you are most likely to be there or indicate a date and time when you will call the employer. End your letter with a note of thanks.

(Sincerely yours, yours truly),

(Signature)

Full name typed

Enclosure (your resume)

Tips on Resume Writing

1. What IS a resume anyway?
Remember: a Resume is a self-promotional document that presents you in the best possible light, for the purpose of getting invited to a job interview.
It's not an official personnel document. It's not a job application. It's not a "career obituary"! And it's not a confessional.

2. What should the resume content be about?
It's not just about past jobs! It's about YOU, and how you performed and what you accomplished in those past jobs--especially those accomplishments that are most relevant to the work you want to do next. A good resume predicts how you might perform in that desired future job.

3. What's the fastest way to improve a resume?
Remove everything that starts with "responsibilities included" and replace it with on-the-job accomplishments. (See Tip 11 for one way to write them.)

4. What is the most common resume mistake made by job hunters?
Leaving out their Job Objective! If you don't show a sense of direction, employers won't be interested. Having a clearly stated goal doesn't have to confine you if it's stated well.

5. What's the first step in writing a resume?
Decide on a job target (or "job objective") that can be stated in about 5 or 6 words. Anything beyond that is probably "fluff" and indicates a lack of clarity and direction.

6. How do you decide whether to use a Chronological resume or a Functional one? The Chronological format is widely preferred by employers, and works well if you're staying in the same field (especially if you've been upwardly-mobile). Only use a Functional format if you're changing fields, and you're sure a skills-oriented format would show off your transferable skills to better advantage; and be sure to include a clear chronological work history!

7. What if you don't have any experience in the kind of work you want to do?
Get some! Find a place that will let you do some volunteer work right away. You only need a brief, concentrated period of volunteer training (for example, 1 day a week for a month) to have at least SOME experience to put on your resume.
Also, look at some of the volunteer work you've done in the past and see if any of THAT helps document some skills you'll need for your new job.

8. What do you do if you have gaps in your work experience?
You could start by looking at it differently.
General Rule: Tell what you WERE doing, as gracefully as possible--rather than leave a gap.
If you were doing anything valuable (even if unpaid) during those so-called "gaps" you could just insert THAT into the work-history section of your resume to fill the hole. Here are some examples:

• 1993-95 Full-time parent -- or


• 1992-94 Maternity leave and family management -- or


• Travel and study -- or Full-time student -- or


• Parenting plus community service

9. What if you have several different job objectives you're working on at the same time? Or you haven't narrowed it down yet to just one job target?
Then write a different resume for each different job target. A targeted resume is MUCH, much stronger than a generic resume.

10. What if you have a fragmented, scrambled-up work history, with lots of short-term jobs?
To minimize the job-hopper image, combine several similar jobs into one "chunk," for example:

• 1993-1995 Secretary/Receptionist; Jones Bakery, Micro Corp., Carter Jewelers -- or


• 1993-95 Waiter/Busboy; McDougal's Restaurant, Burger King, Traders Coffee Shop.

Also you can just drop some of the less important, briefest jobs.
But don't drop a job, even when it lasted a short time, if that was where you acquired important skills or experience.

11. What's the best way to impress an employer?
Fill your resume with "PAR" statements. PAR stands for Problem-Action-Results; in other words, first you state the problem that existed in your workplace, then you describe what you did about it, and finally you point out the beneficial results.

Here's an example: "Transformed a disorganized, inefficient warehouse into a smooth-running operation by totally redesigning the layout; this saved the company thousands of dollars in recovered stock."

Another example: "Improved an engineering company's obsolete filing system by developing a simple but sophisticated functional-coding system. This saved time and money by recovering valuable, previously lost, project records."

12. What if your job title doesn't reflect your actual level of responsibility?
When you list it on the resume, either replace it with a more appropriate job title (say "Office Manager" instead of "Administrative Assistant" if that's more realistic) OR use their job title AND your fairer one together, i.e. "Administrative Assistant (Office Manager)"



13. How can you avoid age discrimination?
If you're over 40 or 50 or 60, remember that you don't have to present your entire work history! You can simply label THAT part of your resume "Recent Work History" or "Relevant Work History" and then describe only the last 10 or 15 years of your experience. Below your 10-15 year work history, you could add a paragraph headed "Prior relevant experience" and simply refer to any additional important (but ancient) jobs without mentioning dates.

14. What if you never had any "real" paid jobs -- just self-employment or odd jobs? Give yourself credit, and create an accurate, fair job-title for yourself. For example:

• A&S Hauling & Cleaning (Self-employed) -- or


• Household Repairman, Self-employed -- or


• Child-Care, Self-employed

Be sure to add "Customer references available on request" and then be prepared to provide some very good references of people you worked for.

15. How far back should you go in your Work History?
Far enough; and not too far! About 10 or 15 years is usually enough - unless your "juiciest" work experience is from farther back.

16. How can a student list summer jobs?
Students can make their resume look neater by listing seasonal jobs very simply, such as "Spring 1996" or "Summer 1996" rather than 6/96 to 9/96. (The word "Spring" can be in very tiny letters, say 8-point in size.)

17. What if you don't quite have your degree or credentials yet?
You can say something like:

• Eligible for U.S. credentials -- or


• Graduate studies in Instructional Design, in progress -- or


• Master's Degree anticipated December 1997

18. What if you worked for only one employer for 20 or 30 years?
Then list separately each different position you held there, so your job progression within the company is more obvious.

19. What about listing hobbies and interests?
Don't include hobbies on a resume unless the activity is somehow relevant to your job objective, or clearly reveals a characteristic that supports your job objective. For example, a hobby of Sky Diving (adventure, courage) might seem relevant to some job objectives (Security Guard?) but not to others.

20. What about revealing race or religion?
Don't include ethnic or religious affiliations (inviting pre-interview discrimination) UNLESS you can see that including them will support your job objective. Get an opinion from a respected friend or colleague about when to reveal, and when to conceal, your affiliations.

21. What if your name is Robin Williams?
Don't mystify the reader about your gender; they'll go nuts until they know whether you're male or female. So if your name is Lee or Robin or Pat or anything else not clearly male or female, use a Mr. or Ms. prefix.

22. What if you got your degree from a different country?
You can say "Degree equivalent to U.S. Bachelor's Degree in Economics-Teheran, Iran."

23. What about fancy-schmancy paper?
Employers tell me they HATE parchment paper and pretentious brochure-folded resume "presentations." They think they're phony, and toss them right out. Use plain white or ivory, in a quality appropriate for your job objective. Never use colored paper unless there's a very good reason for it (like, you're an artist) because if it gets photo-copied the results will be murky.

24. Should you fold your resume?
Don't fold a laser-printed resume right along a line of text. The "ink" could flake off along the fold.

How to earn promotions and perks?

As we join a new job, the biggest question most of us have is how can we get promoted and earn more perks? Growing in your career or getting promotions doesn’t mean earning more money for less work rather as you grow in your career, your responsibilities increase. Earning promotions and perks puts you at the “Taking” end from the company but to take something from your company you first need to be a giver.

Listed here are the qualities and attributes you can bring to your employer to ensure that you are amongst the fastest growing employees in the company. In fact if you absorb these qualities, you can grow faster than most of the people in your industry.

• Know the evaluation system
  Your promotions and perks depend on the company’s evaluation system. Know the criteria on which your performance is evaluated and work according to them.


• Know the priorities
  It is important to prioritize your work as per the requirement. Even if you work hard but do not deliver the required results on time, you will not be able to grow. Make a list of things to do and prioritize them on the basis of importance and urgency, as required.


• Hard Work and performance
  If you really want to grow in your life you have to understand and accept that there is no alternate to hard work and performance. Simply being hardworking is not enough if you are not able to produce the desired results. Give your 100% to your work because earning promotions and perks doesn’t mean being paid more for less work. In fact try to do more than your share of work, whenever possible. This will keep you in the good list of your employer.


• Understand the objective and instructions clearly
  Nothing irritates a boss more than a “YES” boy who doesn’t understand the objective of the work assigned to him. It is better to ask for clarifications rather than messing up the work and not delivering the results on time.


• Initiative
  Taking an initiative is one of things every boss appreciates. Always be ready to take the new challenges and work towards them.


• Help the boss
  Make it a habit to always be there when boss needs you. This is not about sycophancy it is rather about being a reliable member of the team.


• Maintain a good rapport with sub-ordinates and peers
  Your sub-ordinates and peers play an important role on where your career goes. If they seek your help anytime always be there to offer it. A successful person not only grows himself but also helps people around him grow.


• Avoid trouble making
  Companies like employees who help in maintaining a peace in the organization. Trouble makers are hardly the one to be appreciated by the companies. Whatever is the problem, approach it with a peaceful attitude. If there are other elements trying to cause unrest within the company, take an initiative to ease out the situation.


• Don’t harass the boss/company
  Many people think that they can get their things accepted by the company by going through legal channels or unions. Try to avoid such complications as far as possible. If you have a problem, go directly to your line manager and put across your points in calmly. Avoid getting into any type of politics in the office.


• Appreciate things and be thankful
  One of the best things you can do to your company is appreciating it for its good activities and being thankful to it for making you a part of the team. Many people have a habit of bad mouthing the boss or the company. These habits should be scrapped off as early as possible in order to rise professionally.


• Say sorry and thank you
  These are the two magic words which can exist between a boss and a sub-ordinate. Be humble and say thanks for all the good the boss or the company has given you. At the same time do not shirk off the responsibility if you have done anything wrong. Accepting the mistake can put a big storm off.


• Don’t undermine your attendence
  However good you are at work but if you are not regular to the office or not present there when the boss is relying on you, gets you negative marks. Be always present during the working hours and if there are any unavoidable circumstances, intimate the boss as soon as you can. Don’t take your attendance at office for granted.

How to be your boss’s favorite?

The most important person who can help in the growth of one’s career in a desired way is the “Boss”. Your boss can do much more than any qualification can do for you. He is the person who represents you in front of the management. Whatever he says, good or bad about you definitely has an effect on your career succession with in and outside the organization. If boss is such an important person in your career, what is it that you can do to keep him happy and be his favorite?

This article is not about being a sycophant; it is rather about maintaining a good relationship with your superior. If you know what are the things that bosses like and dislike in their sub-ordinates you are one step closer to your destination. Even if you are made a boss tomorrow, you would expect these things from your sub-ordinates. So, let’s take a look at the traits that bosses like and dislike in their sub-ordinates.

Traits that bosses appreciate in their team members:

• Hard work and dedication


• Loyalty and discipline


• Being a team player


• Giving credit to the boss and the team


• Flexibility
  At times they may need to restructure the team or experiment making some changes in the tasks you do, don’t be resistant. Take a flexible approach and help him try out new things. You can definitely discuss if you foresee any problems in the new approach and give the possible solutions.


• Constructive feedback
  Feedback is important but if it can’t be put to any use, it won’t be much helpful. If you want to report a problem area, offer some possible solutions also.


• Discuss everything with the boss first
  Keep the boss updated about your work. Whatever it is, good or bad, tell it to your boss first. He needs to be prepared to answer the questions that may arise related to you.


• Not directly approaching the big boss
  If you want to report a problem, it is always a good idea to go directly to your line manager and discuss it with him rather than directly going to the big boss. If you directly go to the big boss, it puts your line manager in an awkward situation.


• Taking Initiatives


• Supporting the company during tough times.


• Appreciate the opportunity you are given and be thankful

Traits that bosses do not appreciate in their sub-ordinates:

• Giving Surprises
  Surprises, good or bad are not appreciated by the bosses. They give an impression that the boss is unaware about the happenings in his department and do not give him a chance to prepare himself to answer the questions that might arise.


• Unannounced leave
  There may be times when the boss is relying on you for a particular task and all of a sudden if you take a leave without informing the boss, imagine where it will lead him to. If you have to take a leave inform your boss in as much advance as possible so that he can plan his acitivities accordingly.


• Excuses for underperformance
  Accept the responsibility for underperformance rather than blaming it on the customers or colleagues. Try to find out and propose the solutions. Always ask the question “Why”. Why did we score more in this test? Why did we sell less in this season? What can we do to improve the results?


• Doing personal stuff while at work
  Would you like it if you are required to pay an employee for his personal work which he wants to do in the office? Similarly bosses also do not like it when you take out your books and start preparing for your entrance exam in the office. Your company is paying you for the time when you are at office, don’t do personal work there.


• Being Idle
  If you are done with your assigned work, do not take out a novel and start reading it. Give the advantage of your free time to your company. Go to the boss and ask him if he would like you to do something extra.


• Stretching lunch hours or coffee breaks
  If your company gives you a lunch break of 30 minutes, do not go out to smoke a cigarette or for a stroll for another 10 minutes. Finish your lunch and associated activities within 30 minutes and get back to your place.


• Taking a break at busy time of the day
  How would you feel if you go to the bank to notice that the cashier is away from his place during the work hours and you are required to wait for 30 minutes? Wouldn’t it be irritating? The boss also feels the same when you are away from your place during the busy hours of the business.


• Overtime when boss didn’t ask for
  Your company has a policy of paying the employees for every extra working hour. You make it a habit to do an overtime of 2 hours everyday without your boss wanting you to do it. Wouldn’t it irritate the boss? Do not misuse the flexibility your company offers.


• Laughing around at boss’s mistake
  Every human being is error prone. If your boss makes a mistake, do not make it a habit to point it out and laugh around at it. Genuinely bring it to his notice and move ahead.


• Badmouthing the boss or company
  Many employees have an habit of bad mouthing the boss and the company. Have you ever thought, if you your company or boss is so bad, why do you want to hang around there?


• Wasting time grooming yourself


• Taking Personal calls at work


• Misusing office facilities


• Stealing on company’s things


• Socializing too much at work
