Fresh Grad Lands Job as Real Estate Agent With Help from Professional Writers

People go to websites to get the information they desperately need.  They could be looking for an answer to a nagging question.  They might be looking for help in completing an important task.  For recent graduates, they might be looking for ways on how to prepare a comprehensive resume that can capture the attention of the hiring manager

Manush is a recent graduate from a prestigious university in California who is looking for a job opportunity as a real estate agent.  While he already has samples provided by his friends, he still feels something lacking in his resume.  Specifically, the he believes that his professional objective statement lacks focus and clarity. 

Thus, he sought our assistance in improving editing and proofreading his resume. 

In revising his resume, iwritegigs highlighted his soft skills such as his communication skills, ability to negotiate, patience and tactfulness.  In the professional experience part, our team added some skills that are aligned with the position he is applying for.

When he was chosen for the real estate agent position, he sent us this thank you note:

“Kudos to the team for a job well done.  I am sincerely appreciative of the time and effort you gave on my resume.  You did not only help me land the job I had always been dreaming of but you also made me realize how important adding those specific keywords to my resume!  Cheers!

Manush’s story shows the importance of using powerful keywords to his resume in landing the job he wanted.

Need help with your exam preparation?

Below are the questions for the exam with the choices of answers:

Question #1
A  Phenotypic plasticity is the same as standing genetic variation.
B  The change of a trait from one generation to another (mutation).
C  Variation in phenotypes (color, shape, behaviour, etc) that does not require genetic adaptation, as it is a response to the environment.
Question #2
A  A situation where one species can adapt to a changing environment, but constraints all other species (Tyrannosaurus rex).
B  A geologic feature that does not allow migration of species from one continent to another.
C  A situation where a species cannot adapt to changing environmental conditions, due to e.g. a lack of genetic variation (only giraffes with short necks present), trade-offs (can’t become lighter and stronger), or correlated traits.
Question #3
A  We can’t: Natural selection is already nature’s best mechanism for survival of a species.
B  By putting a handful of endangered animals in a Zoo, or freeze them to preserve some of their genetic material.
C  Among many measures, one consideration is to assure the population has a large gene-pool by enabling migrations and relocations to preventing isolation. That increases the standing genetic variation, and perhaps population size.
Question #4
A  Standing variation is the variation already present in a population, so there might be many, many indviduals able to survive the new environmental conditions, and their survival assures the survival of their species.
B  Standing genetic variation is not promoting evolution, as change is the most important aspect of it (not standing still).
C  Standing genetic variation means that all individuals are already pre-adapted to the future and there is no need for further selection.
Question #5
A  A small population is more nimble to adapt to quick environmental change, like for example the small polar bear populations.
B  Slow change and a large population size allow enough variation and time for new mutations to occur, and also not enough time for beneficial alleles to spread in the population through many generations.
C  Only the speed of the environmental change matters, no other factors such as population size.
Question #6
A  They are al different components of fitness.
B  They all describe allele frequncies.
C  They all describe imminent extinction.
Question #7
A  If there is no change, there is no selection acting upon that trait.
B  There would be either directional or disruptive selection acting on the populations.
C  In that case differential selection occurs.
Question #8
A  The convergence upon a specific phentoypic trait value is characteristic for stabilizing selection.
B  This would be typical for reverse selection.
C  Whenever individuals in a population die, we speak of disruptive selection
Question #9
A  Unnatural selection as small individuals usually have the best survival.
B  Galapagos selection, as this phenomenon is not found elsewhere.
C  Directional selection towards larger beak size
Question #10
A  True, but in reality there are often several additive alleles that create further variation, and most of all: environmental variance can smooth out the distribution, so many in-between body sizes are found in the population (with varying frequencies).
B  That’s a theoretical assumption, but in nature there are always 4 pairs of alleles that code each phenotypic trait. This is a safeguard against mutations, as a mutation will not have any effect on the phenotype this way.
C  Yes, that is the universal rule, if one gene locus determines a phenotypic trait, then there are no “In-between” sizes.
