The Benefits of Using Impressive Resume Letters

In the world of job hunting, people are busy looking for the right jobs for them. Some individuals visit online job portals to search for work and then apply using their well-written resume and resume letters. But what is really important in the process of job searching?

It is essential to prepare an impressive resume to get noticed by potential employers. It should be easy to read and complete with the data necessary to inform them of your educational background, work experience and more. The resume format should be chronological or functional, but it must be clear, logical, and well ordered, in order to catch the recruiter's eye.

After preparing an impressive resume, the next step is to study the things written in the resume. In most cases, the recruiter ask questions based on what has been declared in the cover or resume letter and the resume. In that sense, your cover letter or resume letter must be well-written. It is your first line of defense in case the recruiter is already thinking of hiring one of your competitors in the job position.

The benefits of using impressive resume letters include a chance for recruiters to read thoroughly your portfolio and an opprtunity to showcase your job experience that is valuable to the position you have applied for. In the cover letter alone, you can relay an important message to your potential employer, that you are the best candidate for the job. So, why not make it right?  By the way, I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

Duavit clarifies Philippine Star article

GMA Network President and Chief Operating Officer Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr. clarified certain points raised in a news article by Mary Ann Ll. Reyes published in the Philippine Star last April 14 headlined “MVP offers up to P45 B for GMA Network.”

Duavit said that it is not true that two out of the three major stockholders of GMA “are already amenable to selling their respective 33-percent stake.”

He added that the major and controlling shareholders have not yet received a price that is acceptable to them. “We are presently not in serious negotiations with the PLDT group as we have not yet received an offer price that is acceptable to us. The Network is not for sale but that is not to say it may not be sold, depending on the offer price,” Duavit reiterated.

Duavit also clarified that the sale of GMA to the PLDT group nearly occurred in 2001 with the signing of a Memorandum Of Understanding between the owners and the said group. He mentioned that there were agreements already reached then among the owners on both pricing and a sale of a majority stake, contrary to the news article. The transaction, however, did not materialize due to issues encountered by the buyer, and not because of a disagreement on the indicated P14 billion price.

GMA Network hits P13.083 billion consolidated revenues in 2011

(Quezon City, Philippines – April 10, 2012) – GMA Network, Incorporated (GMA), the leading broadcast media company in the Philippines, hit consolidated revenues worth P13.083 billion in 2011.

Notwithstanding the absence of P2.054 billion worth of revenues from political advertisements generated in 2010 and the global impact of financial crisis in Europe and slow economic recovery in the US last year, the Company delivered a fairly competitive business performance.

In fact, despite the cutback in the advertising budget of top multinationals whose headquarters are based abroad, the Network’s leadership in nationwide ratings won for the Company a substantial portion of the available ad spend.

GMA Channel 7, the Company’s top performing business unit and the country’s most watched television station, posted an eight-percent revenue growth from regular advertising during the financial period versus the preceding year, more than double the gross national product (GNP) growth rate of only 3.5 percent in 2011.

The channel also raised its ad loading minutes by 2.1 percent even with rate adjustments that took effect in February of 2011. ABS-CBN, meanwhile, suffered the hardest hit by the ad spend cutback among local broadcasting companies with a 7.1-percent drop in ad loading minutes during the comparable period.

GMA Radio, with improved ratings both in the AM and FM bands, delivered a 15-percent revenue growth from regular advertising. GMA Regional TV made a 21-percent hike year-on-year in recurring ad placements.

Meanwhile, GMA International ended 2011 with a six-percent growth in revenues in US dollar terms, but the growth rate slowed down to only four percent in peso terms due to the appreciation of the Philippine peso exchange rate. Total revenues from subscription, licensing and advertising revenues made thru overseas operations reached P965 million.

GMA International runs the Network’s flagship international channel GMA Pinoy TV (GPTV) and the Filipino lifestyle channel GMA Life TV (GLTV) with estimated global viewer counts of two million and one million, respectively.

Both channels can be accessed thru a number of channel carriers in Filipino viewer-rich territories abroad such as the US, Canada, Middle East, Africa, Japan, Guam, Saipan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Diego Garcia, Europe, and the Carribean.
