Ten Tips
For
Creating relaxing Bedrooms by Lisa Anne Sanderson

WWW.CMDMAGAZINE.COM
here are many different decorating styles that are popular today. No matter what the ‘look’ of the bedroom is, however, it’s important for it to be relaxing and comfortable. Everyone wants their bedroom to be a sanctuary after a hard day’s work or a day full of activities. Here are ten tips which will help you create a relaxing bedroom.
SPRING/SUMMER 2013
6
1
Your Favorite Style: It’s not pleasant to come home to a bedroom that is decorated in the wrong style for you. Even if the bedroom is designed to please your partner, you can add touches that you like. A dressing-table, for example, often adds a touch of romance and a feminine look. Use Your Favorite Colors: Painting the walls of the bedroom in your favorite colors is a good idea. A relaxing color in the decoration is advisable.
2 3
Make Good Use of Lighting: Fluorescent lights are too bright for a relaxing bedroom. Mood lighting can create a romantic, cosy atmosphere. If you enjoy reading in bed, a table lamp is a good idea.
4
Natural Materials: Cotton or silk sheets are better for the skin than synthetics. Woolen blankets are more comfortable than polyester. Egyptian cotton is regarded as the best.
5
Get rid of Clutter: Old books, magazines, and clothes on the bed or floor can mess up the look of a bedroom. An uncluttered bedroom looks better and is more relaxing. Throw away any old books and magazines.
6
Keep Your Bedroom Neat: It is a pleasure to come home to a neat bedroom. Take things off the bed and the floor. Keep the floor well polished or vacuumed and keep the bedroom free of dust. If necessary, it is a good idea to rent storage space.
7
organize Your Wardrobes: Wardrobes should also be neat and well-organized. Each season go through your old clothes and shoes, and either throw or give them away. Selling them is a great way to get rid of them and make some money as well.
8
Moths: Try to keep the cupboards free of these nasty pests. There is nothing more upsetting than finding that a good dress has holes in it. Cloves will usually keep them away, but if all else fails, moth balls may be needed.
9
Aromatherapy and Scents: Pleasant scents help create a calming atmosphere. The fragrance of fresh flowers is good, but it is difficult for most people to have these in the bedroom every day. There are plenty of home scents available. Adding eucalyptus or lavender oil to the washing will also help the bedroom smell fresh. A few drops of lavender oil on the pillow helps most people sleep. relaxing Art: Brightly colored paintings may distract from the relaxing atmosphere. Floral art and landscapes all help to create calmness.
10
These ideas will all help you create a relaxing bedroom. It will look wonderful when you finish decorating, and you will have the kind of bedroom that you want to return to.

mente desordenar el look de un dormitorio. Un dormitorio que no esté desordenado se ve mejor y es más relajante. Debe botar los libros y las revistas viejas. Mantenga Su Dormitorio ordenado: Es un placer llegar a la casa donde el dormitorio está ordenado. Recoge las cosas que están encima de la cama y en el piso. Mantenga el piso bien pulido o pase la aspiradora, y mantenga el dormitorio libre de polvo. Si es necesario, es una buena idea alquilar espacio en un almacen.
7
organice Su Vestuario: El vestuario debe estar ordenado y bien organizado. En cada temporada revise su ropa y zapatos viejos, y los puede botar o regalar. El vender estas cosas es una gran manera para salir de ellos y también ganar algún dinero.
H
ay muchos estilos diferentes para decorar que hoy son populares. No importa cuál es el look del dormitorio, sin embargo, es importante que sea relajante y cómodo. Todos quieren que su dormitorio sea un santuario después de un día de mucho trabajo o un día repleto de actividades. Aquí hay diez consejos que le van a ayudar a crear un dormitorio relajante.
2
Utilice Sus Colores Favoritos: El pintar las paredes de su dormitorio en sus colores favoritos, es una buena idea. Un color relajante en la decoración es aconsejable.
3
Haga Buen Uso de La Iluminación: Las luces fluorescentes son muy fuertes para un dormitorio relajante. La iluminación suave puede crear un ambiente romántico y acogedor. Si usted disfruta de leer en la cama, una lámpara de mesa es una buena idea.
4
Materiales Naturales: Las sábanas de algodón o de seda son mejores para la piel que los sintéticos. Las frisas de lana son más cómodas que el poliéster. El algodón egipcio es considerado como el mejor.
5
Elimine el Desorden: Los libros viejos, las revistas, y la ropa encima de la cama o en el piso, pueden real-
9
La Aromaterapia y Las Aromas: Las aromas agradables ayudan a crear un ambiente calmado. La fragancia de flores frescas es buena, pero es difícil para la mayoría de la gente tener estas flores en el dormitorio todos los días. Hay muchas aromas disponibles para el hogar. El añadir eucalipto o el aceite de lavanda al lavado también ayudan a que el dormitorio huela fresco. Unas pocas gotas de aceite de lavanda en la almohada ayudan a la mayoría de la gente a dormir.
10
El Arte relajante: Los cuadros de pintura con colores brillantes pueden distraer de un ambiente relajante. El arte floral y los paisajes, todos ayudan a crear la calma.
Todas estas ideas les van a ayudar a crear un dormitorio relajante. El dormitorio se va ver maravilloso cuando usted termine de decorar, y será la clase de dormitorio que va a querer regresar.

Su Estilo Favorito: No es agradable llegar a una casa donde el dormitorio está decorado en el estilo equivocado para usted. Aunque el dormitorio esté diseñado para complacer a su pareja, usted puede añadir toques que le guste a usted. Por ejemplo, un tocador muchas veces le añade un toque romántico y un look femenino.
La Polilla: Trate de mantener el armario libre de estos insectos asquerosos. No hay nada más desagradable que encontrar que un buen vestido tiene agujeros. Los dientes de ajo usualmente los mantienen alejados, pero si nada funciona, puede que necesite una bola de naftalina.

ake sure you are ready to buy - psychologically and financially. Ask yourself the following questions: Do I have a steady income? Is my debt lower than my total income? Do I have enough money to pay for the down payment and closing costs? Am I working hard enough to improve bad credit? The answers to those questions and the following tips will help you in buying a home for the first time. 1. Check the selling prices of comparable homes in your area. You can also do a quick search of actual MLS listings in your area on a number of Web sites, including the National Association of Realtors. Your realtor can help with this information. 2. See what you can afford. The general rule of thumb when calculating what you can afford is that you can buy a home that costs about two-and-one-half times your annual salary. A good real estate agent or lender can determine how much you can afford and estimate the maximum monthly payment based on the loan amount, taxes, insurance and other expenses. 3. Find out what your total monthly housing cost would be, including taxes and homeowners insurance. To get an idea of what you will pay in insurance, select a property in the area where you want to live, and call a local insurance agent for an estimate. You are not obligated to get the insurance, but you will have a good idea of what you would pay if you buy. 4. Find out how much you will likely pay in closing costs. The upfront cost of set-
tling on your home should not be overlooked. Closing costs include origination fees charged by the lender, title and settlement fees, taxes and prepaid items such as homeowners insurance or homeowner’s association fees. 5. Review your budget and determine how a house fits into it. Fannie Mae recommends that buyers spend no more than 28% of their income on housing costs. If you go over 30% you risk becoming house poor. 6. Talk to reputable real estate agents in your area about the real estate climate. Do they believe prices will continue to fall or do they think your area has hit bottom or will rise soon? 7. Remember to look at the big picture. While buying a house is a great way to build wealth, maintaining your investment can be labor-intensive and expensive. When unexpected costs for new appliances, roof repairs and plumbing problems occur, there is no landlord to call, and these costs can drain your bank account. But, this is the best time to buy a home. Prices and interest are still low. You can contact Claudia Ahmady at

¿Tengo un ingreso estable? ¿Son mis deudas menos que el total de mis ingresos? ¿Tengo suficiente dinero para el pronto pago y los gastos de cierre? ¿Estoy haciendo lo suficiente para mejorar el mal crédito? Las respuestas a esas preguntas y los siguientes consejos les van a ayudar en la compra de su primera casa. 1. Revise los precios de venta de las casas comparables en su área. Usted también puede hacer una búsqueda rápida del listado MLS en su área en varios sitios Web, incluyendo National Association of Realtors. Su agente de bienes raíces le puede ayudar con esta información. 2. Revise lo que usted puede pagar. La regla en general para calcular lo que usted puede pagar es que usted podrá comprar una casa a un costo de 2½ veces su salario anual. Un buen agente de bienes raíces o el banco hipotecario puede determinar cuánto usted puede pagar y calcular el máximo pago mensual basado en la cantidad del préstamo, los impuestos, el seguro y otros gastos. 3. Averigüe cuánto sería el costo total mensual de su vivienda, incluyendo los impuestos y el seguro de propietario. Para tener una idea de cuánto pagaría por el seguro, seleccione una propiedad en el área donde usted quiere vivir, y llame a un agente de seguros local para un estimado. Usted no está obligado a obtener el seguro, pero tendrá una buena idea de cuánto usted pagaría si compras. 4. Averigüe cuánto pagaría en los gastos de cierre. No debe pasar por alto los gastos iniciales al escoger su casa. Los gastos de cierre incluyen, los cargos de iniciación que cobra el banco hipotecario, los cargos del título de propiedad y finalización, los impuestos, y los prepagos, tales como el seguro de propietario o los cargos de la asociación de propietarios. 5. Revise su presupuesto y determine cómo el tener una casa le puede afectar. Fannie Mae recomienda que los compradores no deben gastar más del 28% de su ingreso en los gastos de una vivienda. Si usted se sobrepasa del 30% tendrá el riesgo de perder su casa. 6. Hable con agentes de bienes raíces acreditados en su área sobre el ambiente de bienes raíces. ¿Creen ellos que los precios van a seguir bajando o ellos piensan que en su área han bajado demasiado o que pronto van a subir? 7. Recuérdese de revisar todo. Aunque el comprar una casa es una gran manera para aumentar su riqueza, el mantener su inversión puede ser agotador y costoso. Cuando surgen gastos inesperados, tales como los nuevos electrodomésticos, las reparaciones al tejado, y los problemas con la plomería, no hay otro propietario a quien llamar, y estos gastos le pueden agotar su cuenta bancaria. Pero, este es el mejor tiempo para comprar una casa. Los precios y los intereses todavía están bajos.

espite the most recent upswing, selling a house in today’s market is still not an easy task. It is not uncommon for a house to be up for sale for over a year before it is sold, and sell for less than what the homeowner expected. The good news is that there is now an effective way to sell your house faster and for the maximum market value: Home staging. Megan Morris, author of the book Stageology: How to Stage to Sell, defines home staging as, “the process of preparing a house for sale, regardless of price, location, or market condition.” This creative process may include painting the home, adding new lighting to create a better ambiance, and bringing in new furniture and décor. Ultimately, the goal is to make the home as warm and inviting as possible while also appealing neutral enough to appeal to the highest number of buyers. It has been documented that 95% of professionally staged homes sell in 23 days or less. Home staging can also increase the value of the home by thousands of dollars. Megan recommends home staging as she has personally witnessed it be a wise investment countless times. Ms. Morris has been a decorator and a professional home stager for 15 years. She has been interviewed on many radio and television programs on networks such as CNN, ABC, FOX, CBS and NBC as an expert on home staging. She regularly receives referrals from homeowners who have sold their homes fast and for the best price as a result of home staging. If you want the best results from selling your home, home staging by Megan Morris is the solution. MHM Professional Staging, LLC is located at 6450 Kingspointe Parkway, Suite 4, Orlando, FL 32819.

pring brings a sense of fresh beginnings, and for many, that includes the annual ritual of spring cleaning. A survey conducted by the American Cleaning Institute found that 62 percent of people engage in spring cleaning each year, and their top three priorities are the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. This year, spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a long, dreaded process. Follow these quick tips to not only get your house clean in no time, but keep it clean in the long run.

Dealing with Dust Dust buildup not only looks bad, but it can also be bad for allergies. > Skip the feather duster — it just spreads dust around. For fast dusting, use multi-surface cleaning wipes to pick up dust from furniture and electronics. When you dust, work from the top down. > Cut back on dust by making sure your vacuum cleaner bags and filters are clean and in good working order. That will keep dust and debris from being blown out into the air as you vacuum. > Change your furnace filter regularly and dust or vacuum vents to keep buildup to a minimum.
SPRING/SUMMER 2013

El Tratamiento del Polvo La acumulación de polvo no sólo luce mal, también puede ser perjudicial para las alergias. > Evite usar un plumero - riega el polvo. Para quitar el polvo rápidamente, utilice paños de limpieza para múltiples superficies para quitar el polvo de los muebles y artículos electrónicos. Cuando quite el polvo, vaya desde arriba hacia abajo. > Para reducir el polvo, asegúrese de que los filtros y las bolsas de la aspiradora estén limpios y funcionen correctamente. De esta manera, evitará el esparcimiento del polvo y los escombros por el aire cuando use la aspiradora. > Cambie el filtro del horno con regularidad y use la aspiradora o quite el polvo de las ventilaciones para mantener la acumulación del polvo al mínimo. Kitchen As one of the busiest rooms in the house, the kitchen gets cleaned fre-
quently, but there are some areas that may need a little more attention. > Use steam to clean the inside of the microwave. Bring two cups of water to a boil in the microwave, keep the door closed and let the water sit for a few minutes. The steam loosens dried-on food particles, making it easier to wipe them away. For a fresh scent, drop a slice or two of lemon in the water before boiling. Keep it clean by using food covers to prevent food splatters. > Keeping the sink, counters and appliances clean and sanitized is fast and easy with a product such as Kitchen Windex Touch-Up Cleaner. A quick pump onto a paper towel, rag or sponge and you can wipe away messes and kill 99.9 percent of common household bacteria in no time. The bottle is designed to stay out where you need it, and the cleaner works on a variety of hard, non-porous surfaces. > When you clean the sink, make sure to get behind the faucet and around the seals using an old toothbrush. > Don’t forget to clean the outside of the refrigerator and freezer. Clear off the clutter of notes, coupons and photos, and then clean the doors, handles and seals. > Keep the inside of the refrigerator smelling fresh with an open box of baking soda. La Cocina Siendo una de las habitaciones con mayor actividad de la casa, la cocina se limpia con frecuencia, aunque existen algunas áreas que podrían necesitar un poco más de atención. > Utilice el vapor para limpiar el interior del microondas. Ponga a hervir dos tazas

La primavera trae el sentir de un fresco comienzo y, para muchas personas, eso incluye el ritual anual de la limpieza de primavera. Una encuesta llevada a cabo por el Instituto Estadounidense de Limpieza reveló que el 62 por ciento de las personas se ocupan de la limpieza de primavera todos los años y sus prioridades son la cocina, el dormitorio y el baño.

Métodos Rápidos Para La Limpieza de Primavera
Bathroom From make-up spills and toothpaste smudges to mildew and everything in-between, the bathroom needs touching-up on a daily basis. > To keep the counter clean of little messes and smudges, use an antibacterial product. Windex also makes a TouchUp Cleaner for the bathroom. Dab the cleaner onto a rag or tissue and wipe down the counter, faucet and any other hard, non-porous surfaces to clean and sanitize quickly. > To get rid of soap scum, clean the tub and shower with a foaming cleanser that does most of the work for you, and simply rinse it off. Wash shower curtains and liners according to label instructions. > To help prevent soap scum buildup in the future, try switching to a liquid shower gel. Bar soaps have binders that are a primary cause of soapy residue. You can also use a towel to quickly wipe down the

de agua en el microondas, mantenga la puerta cerrada y deje reposar el agua durante algunos minutos. El vapor afloja las partículas de alimentos adheridas y facilita la limpieza. Para darle una esencia fresca, coloque una o dos rodajas de limón en el agua antes de hervirla. Para mantener el horno de microondas limpio, cubra los alimentos para evitar que salpiquen. > Mantener el fregadero, el mostrador de cocina y los electrodomésticos limpios y desinfectados es fácil y rápido, con un producto como el limpiador Kitchen Windex Touch-Up Cleaner. Al aplicar un poco sobre la toalla de papel, el paño o la esponja, podrá limpiar la suciedad y matar de inmediato el 99,9 por ciento de las bacterias que se encuentran en el hogar. El frasco ha sido diseñado para colocarlo donde lo necesite; el limpiador actúa sobre una variedad de superficies resistentes y no porosas. > Cuando limpie el fregadero, asegúrese de limpiar detrás de la llave y alrededor de las juntas con un viejo cepillo de dientes. > No olvide de limpiar la parte externa de la nevera y el congelador. Limpie donde están las notas, los cupones y las fotografías; luego limpie las puertas, el mango y las juntas. > Mantenga el interior de la nevera con un olor fresco, con una caja abierta de bicarbonato de soda.

tub and faucets after each shower. > The combination of mold and mildew cleaners can make fast work of those deep messes. Spray where needed, and rinse off following label instructions. Be sure the bathroom is well ventilated before spraying them on. > To discourage mildew, use the bathroom fan during a shower and for about 30 minutes after. You can also use a dehumidifier or open the window. El Cuarto de Baño Desde derrames de maquillaje y manchas de pasta de dientes hasta moho y demás, el baño necesita limpieza todos los días. > Para limpiar las manchas y el sucio en el mostrador de baño, utilice un producto antibacteriano. Windex también tiene el producto de limpieza Touch-Up Cleaner para el cuarto de baño. Eche el limpiador sobre un paño o papel toalla y limpie el mostrador, la llave y cualquier otra superficie resistente y no porosa para desinfectar el área rápidamente. > Para quitar el jabón acumulado, limpie la bañera y la ducha con un limpiador en espuma que hace la mayor parte del trabajo para usted, y sólo deberá enjuagar. Lave las cortinas de baño y los protectores, según las instrucciones de la etiqueta. > Para evitar las acumulaciones de jabón en el futuro, cambie a un gel líquido para la ducha. Los jabones en barra tienen sustancias que son la causa principal de los residuos de jabón. También puede utilizar una toalla para limpiar rápidamente la bañera y las llaves después de cada ducha. > La combinación de limpiadores contra hongos y el moho puede corregir rápidamente estos sucios. Rocíe el producto donde sea necesario y enjuague según las instrucciones de la etiqueta. Asegúrese de que el baño esté bien ventilado antes de rociar el producto. > Para evitar el moho, utilice un abanico en el baño durante la ducha y durante 30 minutos después. También puede utilizar un deshumidificador o abrir la ventana. Floors You’ll be amazed at how much cleaner a room will look when the floors are done right.
Cleaning Must-Haves > If you have the time and money to rent and use a carpet cleaner, now’s the time to do it. If not, target stains with a carpet cleaner and give all your carpets a good vacuuming. Sprinkle baking soda on carpets and rugs to absorb odors. > Steam mops are a great way to quickly clean multiple flooring surfaces without a mop and bucket. You can do a whole room in just a few minutes. > A lot of the dirt and dust in a home is brought inside on the soles of your shoes. To keep carpets and flooring clean, place doormats inside and outside each entrance and always take your shoes off when entering. > Wiping floorboards of dust and dirt is often overlooked and makes a big difference in the appearance of your home. Get more cleaning tips and solutions at www.windex.com. Los Pisos Usted estará asombrado de lo limpio que se verá una habitación cuando los pisos están limpios. > Si tiene el tiempo y dinero para alquilar una limpiadora de alfombras, este es el momento de hacerlo. Si no puede, limpie las manchas con un limpiador de alfombras y utilice una aspiradora. Para absorber los olores, rocíe bicarbonato de soda sobre las alfombras. > Los mapos a vapor son una excelente manera de limpiar rápidamente varias superficies de pisos sin usar un mapo y balde. Puede limpiar una habitación en unos minutos. > Mucho del sucio y el polvo de una casa viene de las suelas de los zapatos. Para mantener limpios los pisos y las alfombras, coloque una pequeña alfombra dentro y fuera de cada entrada y siempre quítese los zapatos al entrar. > Limpiar los pisos para quitar el polvo y el sucio a menudo se ignora y hace una gran diferencia en el aspecto de su casa.

Now, you can find all of the above and more, at The Hunter’s Creek Pharmacy, where pharmacist Heidi Tran will process your prescription expeditiously. This pharmacy has been serving the Hunter’s Creek community and Kissimmee since December 2012.

SPRING/SUMMER 2013

job interview can be an overwhelming experience. The following are tips to help you get through the process of sending out résumés, cover letters, and preparing for the interview. You should get a calendar and a notebook. This will help you remember when you sent your résumé and to whom. You will also use this to write any follow-up calls and research that you do on the company you are applying with. You should also compile a list of companies that interest you. Research those companies and write down the information you gather. This information should include the type of company, their purpose and general information. Is it a manufacturing company? If so, what does it manufacture? Is this a marketing company? If so, what types of marketing does it consist of? Most companies have a Web site where you can obtain information about the company. Read this information and prepare yourself before you send your résumé. If you have not researched the company prior to sending your résumé, you should do this immediately in case they call you for an interview sooner than you expected. Your résumé and cover letter should be focused, not generic. The average résumé is glanced at for about 10 seconds, so yours needs to have an immediate impact and be eye-catching. Consider the following: 1. Use sentence fragments or bullets to provide focus. 2. The most important information should be at the beginning and the end. 3. Your objective should cover three points: job title, industry and two or three key skills you are likely to use. 4. Include examples that show accomplishments. 5. Create uniqueness. Your cover letter should be one page in length and printed on good quality paper like your résumé. The font style and size should be identical to your résumé and envelope. It should be easy to read. Do not be cute, humorous or over-confident. Each company should receive a
cover letter that is specific for that company. If you are using your own computer, it is a good idea to create individual folders for each company that you will be applying with, and save the cover letters in those folders. You have your research done, and organized in your notebook. You should prepare for some questions that may be asked in the interview. You should be prepared for this in advance. You never know when they will call and want an immediate interview. Some typical interview questions are: 1. Tell me about yourself. 2. Tell me about a challenge you faced and how you dealt with it. 3. What are your strengths? 4. What are your weaknesses? 5. Why do you want this job? 6. How do you handle pressure? 7. Where do you see yourself in five years? 8. Tell me about a difficult problem and how you solved it. You should consider all of these questions. Most of these are general questions, and can be answered in different interviews. You should also focus on some specific questions that may be asked for the industry that you are interviewing for. Another key thing is to be positive. If you are asked the question,
“What are your weaknesses?” you will want this to be positive as well. You would not answer this by saying how lazy or unorganized you are. You may want to consider something like, “I sometimes take the work home with me instead of leaving it at the office.” Turn a weakness into strength. You should also prepare questions of your own to ask the interviewer. Many of these questions can be general, and some will be industry specific. Some good questions that you may want to ask are: 1. Is this a new position? 2. Why is this position open? 3. Who would be my supervisor? 4. What is the focus of the job? 5. How often do you give performance evaluations? 6. What factors do you consider when evaluating a person/position? 7. How long do you expect the decision process to take? 8. Do you have incentive programs for advancing in the company? There are many Web sites, articles and books devoted to finding a job. You can use many resources for your individual need. The best tip is to do your homework and be prepared. Interviews often make us feel as if we are on trial. But remember, you are also interviewing the company you want to work with.
también en algunas preguntas especificas que tenga que ver con la industria que se está entrevistando. Otra clave es estar positivo. Si le preguntan, “¿Cuáles son sus debilidades?” usted quiere que esto también sea positivo. No debe contestar esta pregunta diciendo que eres vago o desorganizado. Usted puede considerar algo como, “Yo a veces me llevo el trabajo a la casa en vez de dejarlo en la oficina.” Convierta una debilidad en una fortaleza. Usted también debe preparar sus propias preguntas que le hará al entrevistador. Muchas de estas preguntas pueden ser en general, y algunas sobre la industria en particular. Algunas preguntas buenas que usted puede hacer son: 1. ¿Es esta una posición nueva? 2. ¿Por qué está disponible esta posición? 3. ¿Quién será mi supervisor? 4. ¿Cuál es el enfoque de este trabajo? 5. ¿ Cuán frecuente dan una evaluación de trabajo? 6. ¿Qué factores usted considera cuando hace una evaluación de la persona/ posición? 7. ¿Cuánto tiempo usted toma en el proceso de la decisión? 8. ¿Tiene un programa de incentivo para adelantarse dentro de la compañía? Hay muchos sitios Web, artículos y libros que se dedican a la búsqueda de trabajo. Usted puede usar muchos recursos para su necesidad individual. El mejor consejo es que haga las tareas y esté preparado. Las entrevistas muchas veces nos hacen sentir como si estuviéramos en un juicio. Pero recuerde, usted también está entrevistando a la compañía para la cual quiere trabajar.

destrezas clave que lo más probable va a usar. 4. Incluye ejemplos que demuestran sus logros. 5. Debe crear unicidad. Su carta adjunta debe ser de una página y impreso en papel de calidad como su résumé. El estilo de letra y tamaño deben ser idénticos a su résumé y el sobre. Debe ser fácil de leer. No sea ingenioso, humorístico o sobre confiado. Cada compañía debe recibir una carta adjunta que sea específicamente para esa compañía. Si está usando su propia computadora, sería buena idea crear archivos individuales para cada compañía que está solicitando trabajo, y guardar las cartas en esos archivos. Ha hecho la investigación y todo está organizado en su libreta. Usted debe prepararse para algunas preguntas que le pueden hacer en la entrevista. Usted debe prepararse para esto por adelantado. Usted nunca sabe cuándo lo van a llamar y quieren entrevistarlo de inmediato. Algunas preguntas típicas de entrevista son: 1. Dime algo sobre de ti mismo. 2. Dime algo sobre un reto que se enfrentó y cómo lo resolvió. 3. ¿Cuáles son sus fortalezas? 4. ¿Cuáles son sus debilidades? 5. ¿Por qué quiere este trabajo? 6. ¿Cómo maneja la presión? 7. ¿Dónde se ve usted de aquí a cinco años? 8. Dime algo sobre un problema difícil y cómo lo pudo resolver. Usted debe considerar todas estas preguntas. Casi todas estas son preguntas en general, y se pueden contestar en diferentes entrevistas.

U
na entrevista de trabajo puede ser una experiencia abrumadora. A continuación, unos consejos para ayudarle en el proceso de enviar los résumés, cartas adjuntas, y la preparación para la entrevista. Usted debe buscar un calendario y una libreta. Esto le ayudará a recordar cuándo y a quién le envió su résumé. También en la libreta debes anotar las llamadas de seguimiento y datos de su investigación sobre la compañía que estás solicitando trabajo. También debe hacer una lista de las compañías que le interesa. Investigue esas compañías y escribe la información que consiga. Esta información debe incluir la clase de compañía, propósito de la compañía e información en general. ¿Es una compañía manufacturera? Si es, ¿qué es lo que manufactura? ¿Es una compañía de mercadeo? Si es, ¿de qué clase de mercadeo consiste? La mayoría de las compañías tienen un sitio Web donde podrá obtener información sobre la compañía. Lee esta información y preparase antes de enviar su résumé. Si usted no ha hecho la investigación de la compañía antes de enviar el résumé, lo debe hacer inmediatamente en caso de que lo llamen para una entrevista antes de lo que esperaba. Su résumé y carta adjunta deben estar enfocados, no genérica. El résumé promedio es visto sólo por unos diez segundos, así que, el suyo necesita tener un impacto inmediato y llamar la atención. Considere lo siguiente: 1. Use frase en fragmentos o con “bullets” para darle enfoque. 2. La información más importante debe estar al principio y final. 3. Su objetivo debe cubrir tres puntos: título del puesto, industria y dos o tres

If you have a busy life, it’s important to organize your activities so everything you need to do gets done on a daily basis. A to-do list serves the purpose of keeping activities prioritized and on schedule. Here are some tips for preparing a to-do list that will help you increase your productivity.
then prioritize the tasks. Start by writing down everything you plan to do the next day. Don’t forget even the smallest tasks. Once you have your list complete, check the list to prioritize your activities from the most important to the least important.
luego debe priorizar las tareas. Comience por escribir todo lo que usted planifica hacer el próximo día. No se olvide de aún las tareas más pequeñas. Una vez que usted tenga su lista completa, revise la lista para priorizar sus actividades desde la más importante hasta la menos importante. Una alternativa es de darle a cada actividad un número basado en su importancia. Si necesita hacer la tarea hoy, darle el número uno. Si le gustaría hacer esa tarea hoy, pero puede esperar hasta mañana, darle el número dos. Las tareas de menos prioridad se le dan el número tres. Coloque un cuadrito al lado de cada actividad. El marcar el cuadrito después de hacer la tarea le dará un sentir de logro. Do your top priority tasks in the morning. The tasks you gave a number one on your list should be done in the morning. This will reduce the stress you experience later in the day when other demands come up. At least you will have your high priority tasks done. Haga las tareas de mayor prioridad en la mañana. Las tareas que usted le dio el número uno en su lista se deben hacer en la mañana. Esto va a reducir el estrés que puede tener después en el día cuando surjan otras exigencias. Por lo menos, usted habrá hecho las tareas de mayor prioridad.
Break down large projects. Large, complicated projects can cause stress unless you break them down into smaller ones. When you make your list, number each step of a complicated project. Divide los proyectos grandes. Los proyectos grandes y complicados pueden causar estrés a menos que usted los pueda dividir en partes pequeñas. Cuando usted haga su lista, enumere cada paso de un proyecto complicado. Get an idea of how much time is required for each task. When you do tasks that you are required to do frequently, time them so you will know how long each task takes. This will give you a better idea of how many proj-
Tenga una idea de cuánto tiempo le requiere cada tarea. Cuando usted haga las tareas que le requieren hacerlas con frecuencia, mida el tiempo para así saber cuánto le toma cada tarea. Esto le dará a usted una mejor idea de cuántos proyectos usted puede hacer cada día. Mantenga una página en su agenda con el tiempo que le requieren sus tareas.

ects you can get done each day. Keep a page in your planner with the times required for your tasks.
You can reward yourself. When you check off a box after a task on your list is done, you can give yourself a small reward. This could be a cup of coffee or a few minutes to talk to a friend. Puede darse una recompensa a usted mismo. Cuando usted haga la marca en el cuadrito después de hacer una tarea en su lista, puede darse una pequeña recompensa. Esto puede ser una taza de café o unos minutos para hablar con un amigo. Make a list online. One convenient way to prepare a to-do list is to use an online service such as www.todolist.com. Here you can make your list online and have it e-mailed to yourself or print it. This service comes in handy if you lose your to-do list. Simply go to the site and print out another copy.

anaging your finances is a lifelong process. It usually begins with savings – ideally as a child. Once you have a regular income of your own and have started saving on a regular basis, you’ll have to decide how to invest the money you are saving. Investors in their twenties are often advised to put more of their savings in investments that have potential to grow. Even though these investments may carry more risk of loss, a younger person has time to potentially make up any losses they may experience early on. Conversely, those who are investing for more immediate goals are often advised to put more of their savings in fixed income investments. These may not grow as fast but are likely to lose money. Strategies for Common Life Events Everyone lives their lives differently, and everyone has complicated emotions about money, so investment decisions are highly personal and unique to each individual. Nonetheless, throughout their lives, most investors face some similar situations. Where are you in the cycle? The following are examples of common life events and some things you might consider when making investment decisions. Your first full-time job • Start a savings account to build a
cash reserve. • Start a retirement fund and make regular monthly contributions, no matter how small. Marriage • Examine your joint investment contributions and allocations, taking into account your combined income and expenses. • Consider opening a short-term investment account specifically to help fund your down payment on your home and pay closing and moving costs. Children • If you don’t yet have life insurance, now’s the time. • Start a college savings fund. New job • Review your investment strategy and asset allocation to accommodate a new salary and a different benefits package. • Consider rolling over your previous company’s 401(k) plan into your new employer’s plan or a Rollover IRA. Within 10 years of retirement • Review your retirement fund asset allocation to accommodate the shorter time frame for your investments. • Increase savings for retirement.
Retirement • Study your distribution options to enhance assets and tax benefits. • Reallocate your investments to provide the income you need while still potentially offering some growth in capital to help beat inflation and fund your later years. For more help at every stage of your financial life cycle, talk to your financial professional. AXA Advisors, LLC does not provide legal or tax advice.

Hot Krust Panini Kitchen For the Best Sandwiches, Salads and Soups W
SPRING/SUMMER 2013

e all have heard of the saying, “seeing is believing.” But now, we can also say that “tasting is believing.” That’s because once you taste one of the Panini sandwiches from Hot Krust Panini Kitchen, you will be convinced that it’s the best sandwich you have ever tasted. Hot Krust Panini Kitchen prepares all their sandwiches with only unprocessed meat; it has no preservatives, additives, nitrates or growth hormones. The bread is freshly baked, with your choice of white or multi-grain. They have smoothies, soft drinks, wine and beer. If you are a vegetarian, you will find a variety of gourmet Panini sandwiches and salads, with your choice of fat-free and gluten-free dressing. The sweet potato fries and waffle fries are baked to order, not deep fried. The unique concept of Hot Krust Panini Kitchen is the creation of entrepreneur Evan Dimov who has been working at the Dr. Phillips store since it opened in July 2012. To this day, customers are pleasantly surprised at the very affordable prices. Despite strong competition from the fast food industry, Hot Krust Panini Kitchen is emerging as the little guy making a big difference. Evidence of this is the steadily growth of business, as more consumers are educated on the importance of eating healthy. “Our goal is to provide the best food and service at affordable prices,” says Dimov. “People now have a choice for a good, tasty and nutritious sandwich, salad or soup. We do not compromise quality.” Some of the Panini sandwiches are: Amanti Chicken (roasted chicken, roasted bell peppers, provolone cheese, lite mayo, pesto sauce and sundried tomatoes); Florentine Chicken; Fondue Turkey; Philly
Steak; and Pancetta Shrimp. Hot Krust Panini Kitchen recently added to its menu the Burgernini “The Monster,” an 8oz all natural (not frozen), 100% Angus beef, with BBQ honey-mustard sauce, or Buffalo Sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. For those who prefer a hearty cup or bowl of soup, you will enjoy the gourmet or vegetarian soups that are 0 Trans Fat, and some are gluten and dairy free. Their signature soup is the Chili Cactus Soup, made with savory cactus, ground beef, diced tomatoes, onions, corn, northern beans and spinach, in a spicy broth. So, if you are concerned with eating healthy, Hot Krust Panini Kitchen is the place for the best sandwiches, salads and soups. It is located at 8015 Turkey Lake Rd. (Whole Foods Market Plaza) Orlando, FL 32819. Monday – Saturday 8:30 a.m. – 8 p.m. (Closed on Sundays) Tel: 407-355-7768, www.hotkrust.com.
