And that "It never hurts to apply," even to jobs that are a long shot. It seems as if everyone has at least a small nugget of job search wisdom to pass along.<br /><br /><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">But rather than helping you, some of the advice you receive could be harming your chances of finding a new position. Job search myths -- like the "rule" about the one-page résumé -- have a habit of sticking around even though they're not true. Here are several that have been debunked:</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>You should keep your résumé to one page.</b><br />This job search myth is perhaps the oldest of the bunch. Even if it were true at some point, it certainly isn't now. Hiring <a href="http://www.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/manager/" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">managers</a> are much more interested in getting a true sense of your skills and experience than counting the number of pages you use. Although you don't want to ramble on unnecessarily, don't worry about going past the single-page mark if you need more space to list all of your professional accomplishments.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>You shouldn't bother to send a cover letter.</b><br />Many job candidates think the cover letter is a thing of the past, especially since the vast majority of applications today are submitted online. But most hiring managers appreciate the introduction a cover letter provides. It also offers you an opportunity to expand upon one or two key points from your résumé, thereby strengthening your case for the job. Since fewer and fewer applicants are submitting a cover letter, a well-written one can help you stand out. If you are submitting your résumé as an attachment or uploading it to a database, use the email message as your cover letter.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>You should consider only full-time employment opportunities.</b><br />It's a mistake to overlook <a href="http://www.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/temporary/" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">temporary</a> positions. These assignments can last for weeks or even months, providing a source of income and a chance to network and build new skills. In addition, an increasing number of employers are viewing temporary engagements as on-the-job auditions, evaluating a potential hire's fit for the role prior to extending a <a href="http://www.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/full+time/" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">full-time</a> offer.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>You should apply for as many jobs as possible.</b><br />It's true you shouldn't pass up an opportunity you feel is right for you. But applying for openings that you have little true interest in or that have requirements you clearly cannot meet is a waste of time -- for both you and the hiring manager. Focus on positions that spark your interest and match your qualifications. Then, customize your application materials to show why you deserve to be considered.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>You shouldn't bother looking for work during the holiday season or summer.</b><br />Sure, people are on vacation during these times of year. But as we all know, business never stops. Companies hire year-round -- even at the end of the year and during the summer. Don't put your job search on hold. Instead, realize that there's less competition from other job seekers, increasing the likelihood you're the one called in for an interview.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>You shouldn't send an application unless a company has posted a job ad.</b><br />Every job seeker dreads hearing that his résumé will be "kept on file." So it's understandable that you want to be sure a company is hiring before putting in the time and effort necessary to submit a résumé and cover letter. Use your professional network to uncover opportunities that haven't been announced yet.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>You should just cross your fingers after submitting a résumé.</b><br />Once you've sent in your résumé, the ball is completely in the hiring manager's court, right? Not necessarily. Don't be afraid to contact the employer after you've applied to reaffirm your interest in the position and explain why you're a good fit for the role. Employers sometimes need to be reminded of your qualifications. In fact, 81 percent of managers polled by Robert Half said <a href="http://accountemps.rhi.mediaroom.com/resume_follow_up" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">job candidates should follow up</a> within two weeks of applying for a job.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>You should take the first job offer you get.</b><br />In a tough job market, this is one myth that is partially, but not entirely, true. Take a step back before rushing to sign on the dotted line. If your situation allows, it could pay to be selective. Ask yourself if the opportunity fits your long-term career goals. Will it give you opportunities for advancement and professional development? If not, taking the job could mean missing out on one that does offer this potential.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><i>Robert Half International is the world's first and largest specialized staffing firm with a global network of more than 350 offices worldwide.

Kastelorizo (in Greek, Καστελόριζο; or officially Megisti, Μεγίστη) is tiny, comprising just 5 square miles, plus some yet smaller, uninhabited islands. Its 430 inhabitants are way down from 10,000 in the late nineteenth century. The Lonely Planet travel Guide has picked it as one of the four best Greek islands (out of thousands) for diving and snorkeling. There’s no public transportation from nearby Anatolia, only from distant Rhodes by airplane or ferry.<br /><br />That Athens controls this wisp of land implies it could (but does not yet) claim an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the Mediterranean Sea that reduces the Turkish EEZ to a fraction of what it would be were the island under Ankara’s control, as maps reproduced from the Cypriot newspaper <i>I Simerini</i>illustrate show. The top map shows the Greece claiming its full 200-nautical mile EEZ and controlling Kastelorizo EEZ (indicated by the red arrow); the bottom one shows the Greek EEZ minus Kastelorizo (indicated by the white arrow).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCBrTJuQJaS1s-2YzZGEkfr-LHD1KWO5iLwXz4FVFsECSpjBbtOttSNasysHtfBAOIWFHOmikBgkHxGxCJiMBGBkVZqnsSz4jQ8mCCdczpc0_vG9aVdujCfln2uxVYsmv0eJXGRWaMW-Yr/s1600/kastelorizo-greece.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="339" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCBrTJuQJaS1s-2YzZGEkfr-LHD1KWO5iLwXz4FVFsECSpjBbtOttSNasysHtfBAOIWFHOmikBgkHxGxCJiMBGBkVZqnsSz4jQ8mCCdczpc0_vG9aVdujCfln2uxVYsmv0eJXGRWaMW-Yr/s640/kastelorizo-greece.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Were Athens to claim its full EEZ, Kastelorizo’s presence would make its EEZ contiguous with the EEZ of Cyprus, a factor with great import now, at a moment of massive off-shore gas and oil discoveries. Kastelorizo with an EEZ benefits the emerging Greece-Cyprus-Israel alliance by making it possible to transport either Cypriot and Israeli natural gas (via pipeline) or electricity (via cable) to Western Europe without Turkish permission. This has taken on special urgency since Nov. 4, when Turkey’s minister for energy, Taner Yıldız, announced that his government would not permit Israeli natural gas to transit Turkish territory; Ankara will likely also ban Cypriot exports.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his ruling AKP party colleagues <a href="http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite1_1_08/03/2011_381954" target="_blank">accept Greek control</a> of Kastelorizo and its six nautical miles of territorial waters, but not more and certainly not its full EEZ rights. Indeed, in their eyes, Greek assertion of an EEZ constitutes a casus belli. By neutering Kastelorizo, Ankara can lay claim to large economic area in the Mediterranean and block cooperation among its adversaries. This is why the island could become a flashpoint.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Several developments point to AKP intimidation of Greece concerning Kastelorizo. First, in September, it authorized a Norwegian ship, the <a href="http://greece.greekreporter.com/2011/09/16/turkey-searches-for-oil-on-greek-continental-shelf/" target="_blank"><i>Bergen Surveyor</i></a>, accompanied by other sea craft, to begin prospecting for gas and oil south of Kastelorizo, including some of the island’s <a href="http://www.defencegreece.com/index.php/2011/09/turkey-is-planning-to-search-for-oil-in-kastelorizo/" target="_blank">continental shelf</a>. Second, Turkish <a href="http://www.defencenet.gr/defence/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23936&Itemid=139" target="_blank">warships</a> have trained with live ammunition between Rhodes and Kastelorizo. Finally, Turkish military aircraft four times in 2011 <a href="http://www.defencegreece.com/index.php/2011/11/overflight-of-turkish-rf-4s-over-kastelorizo/" target="_blank">overflew Kastelorizo</a> without permission, sometimes very low with reconnaissance aircraft.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">This bellicosity fits a larger pattern. The AKP government, especially since it has took <a href="http://www.reuters.com/assets/print?aid=USTRE76S4NK20110729" target="_blank">full control of the armed forces</a> in late July, has shown <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/dec/20/turkeys-foreign-policy-in-free-fall/?page=1" target="_blank">increasing hostility</a> toward Cyprus, Israel, <a href="http://www.todayszaman.com/newsDetail_getNewsById.action?newsId=265105" target="_blank">Syria</a>, and <a href="http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/27736-maliki-says-erdogan-provoking-iraqis" target="_blank">Iraq</a>. In addition, Ankara has long <a href="http://www.cyprus-mail.com/eu/eu-should-beware-ankaras-energy-game/20111204" target="_blank">denied Cyprus its EEZ</a>, so doing the same vis-à-vis Kastelorizo builds on an established policy. Indeed, the Turks’ brutal, <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305417980800088" target="_blank">napalm-assisted</a> 1974 conquest of the northern 36 percent of Cyprus set a precedent for seizing nearby island territory. Grabbing Kastelorizo would require about as much time as reading this article. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-d9j71KATOjK0LmVVqRuXlumSowj4mhyphenhyphenadnxzXLbuy5BIKBfrIE0xfiruvYtcHFF6YBtdcd1UvJUCalA7YHr3zNMEE-KKTlwFNeaF15JFT1bTXgjCKf59F6Cq-qHOsyoQamrXvjBJsQo5/s1600/TuAF+formation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-d9j71KATOjK0LmVVqRuXlumSowj4mhyphenhyphenadnxzXLbuy5BIKBfrIE0xfiruvYtcHFF6YBtdcd1UvJUCalA7YHr3zNMEE-KKTlwFNeaF15JFT1bTXgjCKf59F6Cq-qHOsyoQamrXvjBJsQo5/s320/TuAF+formation.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So far, responses to heightened Turkish aggressiveness in the Mediterranean have focused on deterring Turkish feints toward gas and oil reserves in the Cypriot EEZ, with <a href="http://www.cyprus-mail.com/cyprus/navies-roam-eastern-med/20111018" target="_blank">navies</a> and statements from the United States and Russia backing the Republic of Cyprus’ right to exploit its <a href="http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Cyprus-Offshore-gas-find-gets-investor-interest-2428549.php" target="_blank">economic resources</a>. Cypriot president <a href="http://www.cyprusnewsreport.com/?q=node/5084" target="_blank">Demetris Christofias</a> warned that if Ankara persists with its gunboat diplomacy, “there will be consequences which, for sure, will not be good.” Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister <a href="http://www.jta.org/news/article/2011/11/23/3090421/ayaklon-israel-will-defend-greek-oil-drilling-in-cyprus" target="_blank">Danny Ayalon</a> told the Greeks that “If anyone tries to challenge these drillings, we will meet those challenges” and his government <a href="http://www.todayszaman.com/news-263458-with-hezbollah-turkey-in-mind-israel-boosts-patrols-around-med-gas-fields.html" target="_blank">enhanced security</a> not only for its own maritime fields but also for drilling areas in Cypriot waters. On at least one occasion, <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/misc/article-print-page/report-israel-scrambles-iaf-warplanes-toward-turkish-ship-1.387407?trailingPath=2.169%2C2.216%2C2.217%2C" target="_blank">Israeli warplanes</a> have confronted Turkish ships.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Such clear signals of resolve are welcome. As the European Union pushes Greece to drill for hydrocarbons to find <a href="http://www.athensnews.gr/portal/8/48953" target="_blank">new sources of income</a>, it should also support Athens declaring its EEZ, reject AKP troublemaking vis-à-vis Kastelorizo, and clearly indicate the dire results for Turkey of any trouble-making toward an island now happily renowned for its diving and snorkeling.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Mr. Pipes</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> (<a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/" target="_blank">DanielPipes.org</a>) is president of the Middle East Forum and Taube distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. <i>© 2012 by Daniel Pipes.

Es wird die übliche Propaganda verbreitet, das böse Regime von Assad geht brutal gegen harmlose Zivilisten vor. Im Unterton wird dann der Vorwurf erhoben, <i>"... und die ganze Welt schaut tatenlos zu</i>", um wieder die Zustimmung für einen neuen Krieg und Einmarsch zu bekommen. Die Gutmenschen lassen sich wieder täuschen und empören sich. Dabei handelt es sich um eine geplante Inszenierung wie im Film "Wag the Dog – Wenn der Schwanz mit dem Hund wedelt" über die Macht der Medienmanipulation.<br /><br />Wann verstehen wir endlich, es gibt einen Unterschied zwischen der Realität und wie die Realität dargestellt wird. Oder, was wirklich passiert und wie die Wirklichkeit über die Medien präsentiert wird. Man kann mit Videos, Fotos und einem entsprechenden Kommentar durch einen Moderator, jeden gewünschten Eindruck bei den Zuschauern hinterlassen, der aber nicht der Wahrheit entspricht.<br /><br />Wir haben es ja bei der ARD gesehen. Dort wurden Aufnahmen aus dem Irak von 2007 als aktuelle aus Syrien uns präsentiert. Alte Youtube-Videos wurden verwendet um uns zu täuschen. Ein gewaltsames Vorgehen gegen Drogenhändler im Irak wurde uns als ein Übergriff von syrischen Polizisten auf unschuldige Zivilisten verkauft. Ja die ARD macht so etwas und die anderen Medienanstalten auch. <br /><br />Es wird in den Medien laufend bewusst beschissen und dem Publikum ein falsches Bild gezeigt, um die Meinung in die gewünschte Richtung zu lenken. Die westlichen Medien haben nicht den Auftrag uns korrekt zu informieren, sondern uns zu manipulieren. Das Wort "Nachrichten" kommt von "nach etwas richten", also die Meinung des Empfängers wie gewünscht ausrichten.<br /><br />Kein Wort wir darüber gesagt, es handelt sich in Syrien wieder um bewaffnete vom Ausland gesteuerte Banden, welche gegen den Staat und gegen die syrische Bevölkerung Terror ausüben. Die westlichen Regierungen tun vordergründig so, wie wenn es um Menschenrechte und Frieden geht, während sie hinten rum mit ihren Geheimdiensten und Militär nützliche Idioten ausbilden, bewaffnen, einschleusen und einen Aufstand inszenieren, um eine unliebsame Regierung zu stürzen. Parallel dazu läuft der Propaganda-Skript.<br /><br />Auf dem Rafiq Hariri International Airport in Beirut haben die libanesischen Behörden den verdächtigen Inhalt eines Frachtflugzeugs beschlagnahmt. Darunter handelt es sich um grosse Mengen an US-Dollar, Waffen, Elektronik, Pässe und Kreditkarten. Die Maschine kam aus den USA und Brasilien. Es wird vermutet, die Ware sollte über den Libanon zu den in Syrien operierenden Rebellen gelangen. Die libanesische Regierung hat bestätigt, Waffenlieferungen gehen über die Grenze nach Syrien, trotz ihrer Versuche es zu verhindern. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-AT" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><span lang="DE-AT" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Die Liste der von der CIA durchgeführten Umstürze in Südamerika, Afrika, Asien und im Nahen und Mittleren Osten, die so abgelaufen sind ist endlos. Syrien ist wieder so ein Fall und im Iran genauso. Ihr müsst verstehen, damit will ich überhaupt nicht sagen, die angegriffenen Regierungen sind heilig. Nur, vom Ausland einen Umsturz durchzuführen, nur weil einem die Regierung nicht passt, ist völlig unakzeptabel. <br /><br />Wir würden uns auch jede Einmischung aus dem Ausland oder sogar die Entsendung bewaffneter Gruppen in unsere Länder die Terror ausüben, um unsere Regierungen zu stürzen, strengstens verbitten. Eine Veränderung muss grundsätzlich die Bevölkerung selber wollen und durchführen und es muss so friedlich wie möglich geschehen. Dazu braucht es keine "Hilfe" aus dem Ausland und von den NATO-Verbrechern schon gar nicht. <br /><br />Ich bin strikt gegen jede fremde Intervention und Einmischung in die internen Angelegenheiten eines Landes. Es geht um Selbstbestimmung und nicht Fremdbestimmung. <br /><br />Jetzt beurteilt selber, ob es sich bei den gezeigten Gruppen in den folgenden Fotos aus Syrien um friedliche Demonstranten oder bewaffnete Terroristen handelt. Wo haben sie die Gewehre, Munition und Panzerfäuste her? Wer versorgt sie mit Geld und Information? Für was benötigen sie diese Waffen? Doch nur um Terroranschläge zu verüben, die dann von der syrischen Regierung bekämpft werden müssen. Dabei werden auch Zivilisten betroffen, verletzt und getötet. Nur genau dieses Chaos will man verursachen, um es propagandistisch auszuschlachten und von außen eingreifen zu können.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span lang="DE-AT" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>
