EBay to buy Skype in $2.6 billion deal?

It is really a big deal if you buy a free internet phone software company for billions of dollars.

Making one of its riskiest bets yet, eBay (EBAY) said Monday that it will buy Internet voice service Skype. That could eventually pit eBay against phone companies and VoIP services such as Vonage.

Buying Skype "is a lot more of a stretch than any of the other acquisitions they've done," says David Edwards, equity analyst at American Technology Research.

EBay will pay $2.6 billion for Skype, which can be used to make free, high-quality voice calls from one computer running Skype software to another, anywhere in the world. Customers need a PC with a microphone. For a fee, Skype users can call regular telephones and vice versa. (Link)

25 Tips for Better Resumes

1. Be neat and error free.
Catch all typo's and grammar errors. Make sure to have someone proofread your resume, preferably someone attentive to details. Even the smallest error could land your resume in the electronic recycle bin.

2. State specific objectives.
Form a solid, clear objective that will help you carry a focused message throughout the resume. The objective summarizes your skills and emphasizes your strengths.

3. Why does the employer need you?
Focus on highlighting accomplishments that will arouse the interest of employers who read resumes asking themselves: "What can this candidate do for me?" Remember that the goal is to get the interview.

4. Make a good first impression.
On average, employers spend less than 30 seconds scanning each resume. Most employers are more concerned about career achievements than education. Place the most interesting and compelling facts about yourself at the beginning, such as a list of accomplishments in order of relevance.

5. Emphasize your skills.
Use a skill-based resume format that is organized around the main talents you have to offer. Prioritize everything. (Read More here)

Myanmar U-20 Soccer team welcome celebration

Other countries might not celebrate this way when their U-20 teams come home as champs. But we think it is special because Myanmar people love their country so much and they really like soccer. Since the senior national team haven't grabbed any silver-ware for decades, Myanmar people longed for it. So when the U-18 and U-20 teams become the ASEAN champs, they celebrate as if their national team won the world cup.
