What kept you away? I had always maintained that once I have my baby, I will not do fiction for the initial 7-8 years as I did not want to travel. I did reality TV because it was the closest to being in office in terms of timing and working around my son’s schedule. Then I did Ajeeb Daastaan … which was a fabulous subject but the story … [Read more...] about Sonali Bendre on ‘The Broken News’: “It’s a relevant story and my character has a voice”
4 Golden Rules of Marketing That Will Never Change
Marketing is a fickle beast. First, infographics were the cool thing. Now, it's videos . Facebook is constantly changing its algorithms (keeping business owners like you and me on our toes). The same goes for Google. When you look at things from a broader perspective, however, some fundamentals of marketing have withstood the test of time. The technologies might change, but these four golden rules of marketing will always stay the same. 1. Your customers' actions speak louder than their words. Have you ever experienced this? You survey your customers to ask whether they'd buy a new product. The response is positive, and you launch the product, only to have it fail spectacularly. While that's super frustrating (and has happened to me as well), the key is that your customers' actions speak louder than their words. At the end of the day, the one thing that counts is if they take out their wallets --- or not. Instead of asking your customers … [Read more...] about 4 Golden Rules of Marketing That Will Never Change
Drilon urges Galvez to ‘buy more effective vaccines,’ says Filipinos ‘being short-changed’
MANILA, Philippines — Observing that many Filipinos are not getting the most effective COVID-19 vaccines, Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon urged vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. to “put aside his personal preferences” and prioritize deals on high-effectiveness vaccinations. “When it comes to the life of millions of Filipinos and the future of the country, there should be no price tag. We can buy the most expensive vaccines with high efficacy,” Drilon said in a statement on Tuesday. “We should not short-change our taxpayers. But we are a fool to buy more expensive vaccines with doubtful efficacy,” the senator added. “Kapag buhay ng Pilipino ang nakasalalay, hindi pwede ang ‘pwede na.’ We need to buy the most effective vaccines,” he added.

The ultimate guide to purposeful productivity (your mental health will thank you)
Have you ever looked at another person’s daily accomplishments and thought, “How do they do it”? By the time most are pouring a second cup of coffee in the morning, some super-achievers have gone for a 5-mile run, hit inbox zero, and nailed the rough draft of that report due next week. Oh, and they figured out the day’s Wordle, too. advertisement advertisement After more than a decade of writing and practicing productivity techniques, I’ve learned that these folks generally do know more about how to get more done. And you can adopt those practices, too. But, why would you? Getting more done in less time can mean that you have more free time to do the things you love with the people you love. Or, it can create space to fill with more work that could have a detrimental effect on your mental and physical health. I learned this the hard way last year. advertisement advertisement Don’t make the same mistakes.

New Home Sales Unexpectedly Rise But Housing Market Still ‘Cratering’—Here’s When Experts Predict Prices Will Fall
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline New home sales unexpectedly broke a four-month streak of losses and climbed more than economists projected in May, according to data released Friday, but experts note the reprieve may not last long, citing rising mortgage interest rates that are likely to continue curbing demand—likely pulling down record prices as soon as the end of this year.

Why Now Is The Time To Look For A New Job And How To Jumpstart It
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Unhappy at work? Feeling unappreciated? Underpaid? We are experiencing the hottest job market you will likely ever see. For a job hunter, this is terrific news. Everywhere you go, there are signs that say, “Hiring Now.” You may have heard from friends and departing co-workers that they either got recruited off their LinkedIn profile or were immediately hired shortly after applying. The employer’s hiring process has been moving at lightning speed, especially in the tech sector. After the first employer contact, a job candidate typically has a couple of interviews within a few days and quickly gets a lucrative job offer.

Employers Ignoring Your Resume? 5 Mistakes To Avoid
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I just worked with Dave, a Baby Boomer client who had his resume written by a service, and they made his resume look sharp, eye-catching, colorful, and very creative in appeal. Unfortunately, he said, " I've gotten no results. What's wrong?" Sadly, a great deal. On examination, the resume writer didn't have any experience understanding how the employer's Applicant Tracking System (ATS) works. And if you don't get through the ATS system, no one will see your resume. Why? ATS electronically scans your resume, scores your qualifications based on the description for that position, and ranks your application. Recruiters rely on the ATS to make their screening process more effective. CNBC reported that over 75% of resumes never get seen by human eyes. 75%! So If your resume is not getting any responses from employers, you are likely stuck in ATS limbo. The reality is that the employer never saw your resume.
