Abstract:
A resume is the first opportunity a job seeker has to impress upon potential employers. How does a fresh college graduate create a document about himself that describes to human resource professionals and hiring managers his skills and personality in a short time span on their busy working day? We will examine the content and formats of a good resume from three different readers’ perspectives, and follow up with several common questions asked during an interview.

( 2.9 / 68 )Speaker: Dr. John Ku
Date: 8/9/2008, Saturday
Time: 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM
-Brief introduction
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), established in September 1960 in Baghdad, Iraq is an intergovernmental cartel. The founder member includes Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and Venezuela. Today the membership also includes Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Indonesia, Angola and Ecuador. OPEC conducts formal meetings to discuss oil prices and output for the purpose of increasing their oil revenue and in 1982 started to assign explicit crude oil production quotas to each individual member country.
A key reason for high oil prices in the artificial scarcity imposed on the market by the OPEC cartel, which controls 70 percent of world’s known oil reserves but produces only 40 percent of world oil production and restricts how much oil reaches consumers. Increases in world oil consumption have been driven principally by developing countries in Asia. Asian crude oil consumption has more than double since 1985 but OPEC today barely produces more crude oil it did in 1977. The high oil prices will remain high for the foreseeable future; this is due to the increasing weakness of the US dollar, rapid increases in demand from the rapidly growing economics of India and China. Major oil exporting countries are using more oil domestically. Particularly significant are Indonesia, which no longer exports oil, Mexico and Iran, where projected demand will exceed production about 5 years. High oil prices have a large negative impact on the global growth; OPEC’s role in the price escalation should be exposed and not be obscured by misconceptions about oil resource depletion.
