Professional Format Tips For Thank You Letter After Second Interviews
Tumblr media
It is not enough that you have kept your thank you letter after second interviews neat, light, casual and a little bit funny, but most of the times, it is in the finer details that separates great thank you letters from those that aren't. Here are some tips on how to write thank you letters and notes in a personal yet professional format.
First, keep it pithy. This means, keep your thank you letter after second interviews short and simple. Your prospective employer would probably be in a hurry with all his paperwork and scheduled tasks for the day. Make it convenient for him or her to digest all the information he or she needs to accept you. Your letter should highlight your personality, your good traits, your potential contributions to your prospective job as well as the finer details of the interview that were neglected and need to be clarified. Aside from being succinct, spell-check and proof-read your thank you letter. All of these should be done in around three to five sentences - enough to be read and digested in three to five minutes. Here's a tip, if you have to reread one complex sentence either break it down to two or revise the whole idea into one simple sentence.
Second, write neatly and legibly. Write in block or semi-block style. There are resources on the Net that can help you with this. Sure, writing your thank you letter after second interviews by hand would add to that 'personal' touch but bad handwriting gets in the way of reading and understanding the letter. This makes your thank you letters more difficult to understand. It also shows that you did not put much thought into writing the letter therefore, showing your future boss an attitude of laziness and hastiness. We don't want that. If you think writing by hand would compromise the quality of your thank you letters or notes, print it out instead.
Lastly, write in a 24-hour time period. It is urgent to write the thank you letter after second interview or once accepted into your prospective job. If being creative gets in the way of completing your thank you letter or personal thank you note, leave your stalling at the door, read sample thank you letters and thank you notes online and type away a format that could be easily emailed to your boss in 24 hours. Just don't be too generic, your boss will find out. To solve this problem, tweak around with sample thank you letters online and sprinkle in some personal details. Follow the soft copy format of your thank you letter with a hard copy format. This will be an efficient and convenient way for you to pass a professional thank you letter in a very short amount of time.

Transit Letters and Numerology: Your Name Is Your Fortune
Tumblr media
Have you ever wondered why certain things happen to you, or if there is some way to know ahead of time if your finances will improve this year? Numerology provides a unique tool for forecasting the major events in your life; your Letters of Transit.
Along with your Life Cycles, and your Personal Year number, your Transit Letters predict, in a general way, the events which are slated to befall you in life. This practice, though I can't prove it by any scientific means, can be uncannily accurate when it comes to giving a thumbnail sketch of what life plans for you.
How to Calculate your Transit Letters
Your Transit Letters are based on your birth name; your full name as it was written on your birth certificate. This includes any misspellings and qualifiers (Jr., iii, iv, etc.) that were actually recorded on the original document. Any legal changes to your name, or corrections when recording it later don't count; only the original birth name is used.
Each word or qualifier in your birth name generates an additional Transit Letter for you at any one time. Also, each name in your birth name has a particular period or cycle which is repeated thought your life as you grow older. This is best illustrated by an example.
Johnny Depp's Transit Letters
Lets examine actor Johnny Depp's Transit Letters to see what I'm talking about. First, Johnny Depp's birth name is 'John Christopher Depp iii'. This gives him (4) transit letters in affect at any given time in his life; each name producing a letter.
Each letter in the alphabet has a duration which matches it's fadic addition position in the alphabet.
a = 1, b = 2, ... i = 9, j = (10) = 1, k = (11) = 2, ... y = (25) = 7, z = (26) = 8.
When we look at a name, we record the corresponding numeric values and get the period of the name.
John = 20 Years j (1) + o (6) + h (8) + n (5)
Christopher = 67 Years
c(3) + h(8) + r(9) + i(9) + s(1) + t(2) + o(6) + p(7) + h(8) + e(5) + r(9)
Depp = 23 Years
d(4) + e(5) + p(7) + p(7)
iii = 27 Years
i (9) + i(9) + i (9)
He was born in June 1963, so his current age is 43.
His first name has a period of (20) which comes out of his age 2 times, leaving 3 Years. So His first name Transit Letter was 'j' from 2003 to June 2004, and will be an 'o' from June 2004 through June 2010 (six years.)
His second name has a period of (67) so we count in 43 years as follows:
Christo = 3 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 6 = 38 years.
So, his transit letter of 'p' began on his 38th birthday in June 2001, and will run until June 2008 (seven years).
His third name has a period of 23 years, which comes out of 43 once, leaving 20 years. So we count in 20 years as follows:
Dep = 4 + 5 + 7 = 16 years.
So his transit letter of 'p' began on his 39th birthday (23 + 16) in June 2002, and will run for (7) years when it will be replaced by another 'p' which will run for (7) more years until June 2016.
His fourth birth name always gives us a transit letter of 'i' throughout his entire life.
So Johnny Depp's current transit letters are: o, p, p, and I. They remain in force until June 2008 when the o turns into an 'h'.
This is the process of how Transit Letters are calculated. It's complex enough that we want to leave it to computers to do the dirty work for us.
What Do they Tell Us?
Different letters have different affects on us, though there are some general guidelines to remember.
Short period letters, such as 'a', 'j', and 's' call for dramatic changes in your life; they only last a year, but they bring a strong impact.
The following letters are good for business and finances: 'f', 'g', 'h', 'j', 'm', 'o', 'p', 'q', and 'z'.
The following letters indicate possible health problems: 'b', 'k', and 't'.
The following letters indicate possible delays and difficulties in our plans: 'I', and 'r'.
Doubled and tripled letters can have negative side affects due to too much of something; they tend to bring out the negatives of excess in whatever they impact.
Summation
Your letters of Transit in many ways can be thought of as a simple Tarot card reading for the current period of your life. Three or four different signpost which have limited meaning when taken separately, but tend to be much more meaningful when considered together as a whole

Application Security - IT Risk Management
Tumblr media
Application Security risk assessment and risk management are vital tasks for IT managers. Corporations face increased levels of Application Security risk from hackers and cyber crooks seeking intellectual property and customer information. A comprehensive application security risk assessment is a modern day corporate necessity.
Application security risk management provides the optimal protection within the constraints of budget, law, ethics, and safety. Performing an overall Application Security risk assessment enables organizations to make wise decisions.
Web Servers - Application Security
Web Servers are One of the most critical sources of Application Security risk to organizations. Performing an application security assessment and implementing security risk management is critical. Here are core points that pose a major security risk to Application Security:
Default configuration - Application Security
Web server default configurations that may not be secure leave unnecessary samples, templates, administrative tools, etc. open to attacks. Poor application security risk management leaves security breaches for hackers to take complete control over the Web server.
Databases - Application Security
Web sites and applications must be interactive to be useful and there lies the risk... Web applications without sufficient application security allow hackers to attack their databases. Invalid input scripts leads to many of the worst database attacks. Comprehensive risk assessment may reveal steps to ensure application security.
Encryption - Application Security
Encryption reduces application security risks and losses when Web servers are breached. Even though a company's Intranet server has greater vulnerability to attacks, encryption creates a lower relative risk.

The Best Cover Letter Format
Tumblr media
Letters are described as written messages using various characters to convey or relay certain information.
It had be one of the oldest forms of communication, dating way back during the ancient Egypt. Written messages before, had been the only form of communication of people from different locations.
But with the advancement of modern technology, this has been just one of the many options for communication. Other forms had been introduced such as the use of telephones, telegraph and email messaging.
Letters are used for various reasons or purposes such as the following:
1. Personal communication of friends or relatives
2. Formal communication for business or office use
3. Public announcement
Cover letters in specific are used to introduce a need or a much broader topic. These are usually used for:
1. Application for a job posting or vacancy
2. Introduction in submitting a quotation for offered product/s or service/s
If the cover letter is used for applying for a vacant job post, the following should be included in the content of the letter:
1. An explanation on why the individual is sending a resume.
All resumes should have an accompanying cover letter that would explain what post the individual wants to apply for.
2. Indicate from where one had heard of such vacancy.
It would be of help if one would be specific in indicating where he or she had heard of the job vacancy, that is if it was from a television ad, from a certain website or through word of mouth.
Indicating the name of the individual who suggested that an application be sent or written is likewise appropriate.
3. Catchy enough for the reader to want to read your resume.
The letter should be polite and not over-demanding or too confident, so much as to arose interest to look upon the attached resume.
4. It should focus on the selling points of the individual.
This may include the education attained, past work experience or previous posts held, ever so slightly touching the said topic but not too much so as to loose interest to further read the accompanying resume.
5. The attitude of the individual should be a reflection of the letter.
Enthusiasm for work, politeness and motivation should all emanate from the letter so as to give the employer an overview of the individual's positive points.
6. Any other information that is requested by the employer.
If the needed information is not stated in the letter or the attached resume, the individual should state the availability of the information upon personal appearance or request.
Below is the proper formatting of the cover letter for application purposes:
1. State the current date
2. Indicate the name to whom the letter would be forwarded
3. Designation and address of the person on number 2
4. An opening paragraph that is catchy or would arouse the interest of the person reading the letter.
5. The middle paragraph should point the interest of the applicant and should have created a desire on the part of the reader to consider for the position the sender of the letter.
6. The following paragraph should subtly direct the reader to read the attached resume.
7. The closing paragraph should ever so slightly hint or suggest a certain action from the reader, that is, the sender could state his or her available time for an interview, if needed.

11 Common Cover Letter Mistakes
Tumblr media
1. Not addressing the letter to a specific person. You can use the Internet or personal contacts to track down the hiring manager. Often a quick phone call to the company solves the problem. Sending in your resume and cover letter addressed to "dear Sir" instead of a named individual shows that you haven't taken the time to properly research this position, and are not that interested in the position.
2. Not capturing the readers attention right away. Do not start off weak. Don't just start with "I am applying for a position x posted a paper x". Instead you could say: My five years of experience at x makes me an excellent match for position x listed in paper x". Don't use phrases such as "I think". Use stronger language such as "I know". Remember to point out any contacts you might have in the company in the first paragraph.
3. Sending your resume without a cover letter or sending a generic nonspecific cover letter. Sometimes it might feel tempting to just take the shot and send the resume without writing a letter: Don't do this since you don't know how much weight the employer puts on the letter. Also do not reuse the same letter for different jobs. Of course you may use the bulk of the letter but tailor the specifics to the job ad. A good tactic is to make sure that all of the key words in the ad are somehow covered in the letter.
4. Your cover letter should not be a rewrite of your resume. Use points from the resume that are relevant to the job in the letter. Do not waste the employers time with the rest.
5. Do not focus on your personal life. Do not include data such as gender, martial status, religion or any other personal information unless it directly relevant to the job. Do not include any photos unless the ad is for a job in modeling acting or broadcasting.
6. Don't try to be funny. Don't use anecdotes or humor. Even if you have a great sense of humor you do not know if the employer will have one. Also, you might not be taken seriously. Use a conversational but professional tone.
7. Don't make the letter too long. Your letter should never be longer than one page so do not use your cover letter to provide a narrative of your life and career.
8. Do not use a gimmicky cover letter format. It's usually a good idea to use a simple, well written letter printed on white or ivory paper. Sometimes a cover letter in a different color might catch the employer's attention, but this could backfire. Only use this if you know what you're doing.
9. Proofreading. Your cover letter may not have any typos and grammatical errors. Make sure it is easy to read and has a good flow. The employer should know the most important points after quick scan of the letter.
10. Don't forget to include your contact information on the cover letter. Sometimes cover letters and resumes get separated. Make sure you can be reached from either of them.
11. Show your desire to be interviewed. Ask for an interview in the cover letter. You can take this a step further by telling the employer that you will contact them to arrange an interview appointment. Obviously you have to follow up in a specified time frame.
