5 Reasons Why JN Medical College AMU Should Be Derecognized

MCI has announced de-recognition of 11 colleges and JNMC AMU is one of the college that is the most desirable candidate for de-recognition Here is the reason, why:

1. JNMC doesn't treat Inspectors in 5 star hotels as the counterparts do, even if they do not fulfill 1/4 of the staff requirements.
2. JNMC doesn't provide worth thousands of free shopping and gifts to the inspectors, pays more attention to the patients treatment and input instead.
3. JMNC doesnt keep fake staff, sometimes who are in a different continent altogether, as done by some other colleges.
4. JMNC doesn't show fake number of patients and cases.
5. JNMC doesn't take admission to candidates who are not upto par with the knowledge required to pursue a medical course.

MCI will never de-recognize colleges which actually lack the requirements, they will do it only if they do not fulfill to the whims of the inspectors.

The Secrets Of Writing A Job Grabbing Resume

There is no specific format for writing a good resume, but here are the vital tips necessary to cast a spell on your prospective employer.

Be Readable

Size does matter. When it comes to font size, it matters more. Any resume can be discarded if the font size makes the reader run for a magnifying glass, or if is too big and screaming loud. Font sizes 11- 12 are comfortable to read and not too big to be labeled egotistic.

Achievements Speak For Responsibilities

List out your achievements for a given responsibility, instead of mentioning only the responsibilities. Achievements tell that you are worth the responsibilities handed over to you. Only the responsibilities do not tell whether you achieved your goal or not.

Value The Recruiters Time, Keep It Short

In the age of sms and twitter, people have developed a liking for short and sweet stuff. Mention your best in the beginning and keep the sentences short. This will help the recruiter gain more information about you in lesser time. Let us suppose they spend about a average of 2 minutes per resume. So if you have written in short the number of achievemnts covered up will be more.

Words to Kill - I me mine

To much use of the personal pronouns are guaranteed to kill the opportunity. Write in a style that uses minimum of these.

Get It Reviewed

First of all read it aloud to yourself pretending you are the employer and this is your candidates resume. See what impression do you get. Ask your friends to review it. They  may be able to point out the relevant areas for correction or modification.

These are some universal points. If you own a Google account the sign in to Google docs. There you can find some interesting templates for resume and you can publish it online as well. Another important thing is that Google Docs lets you export it in pdf format for securely attaching it in mails.
