Most job markets are incredibly competitive nowadays. You need to stand out as soon as you can when applying for a job. This means having a really good resume is extremely important. These six tips should help you create a resume that really stands out. Tip 1: Range Up Your Goal Statement It is important to remember that employers have read hundreds if not thousands of goal statements. Instead of telling them how the job would help you, tell them what you can offer to them. This will immediately make them take an interest in your resume. Tip 2: Keep It Simple It's important to be concise and to the point in your resume. Don't waffle or include unnecessary details. Don't worry if your resume seems short, as long as you include all of the relevant details. Being shorter is faster and means less reading for the employer, so work on being specific. Tip 3: Bring Attention to Transferable Skills Even if you haven't worked in the job role before, previous skills you h

Good people are lucky. Many of them don't know that they are one unfortunate event away from becoming bad. Those who do know can fortify their goodness, so that if unlucky circumstances arise, they won't be so quick to betray their principles. For those of you wondering what these circumstances are that can turn good people bad, we've come up with a list of seven. This is by no means a complete list, but it contains situations that usually result in the most moral casualties. One: Tragedy When tragedy strikes you or someone close to you, it's hard not to blame something or someone, even if no one was at fault. A person can then become angry at people that don't deserve it. And when a person sees him or herself as a victim of tragedy, they may feel justified in treating people who have not suffered like they have. Two: Poverty When a person is in a less fortunate situation than everyone else, there's no measure too extreme to take. To a person in this sit

We've all missed someone so much that we start to romanticize the past. It throws off your judgement and soon you're overwhelmed with just wanting to be with that person again. While people often say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, it instead allows feelings of being miserable and empty to grow instead. Before deciding to get back together with your ex, watch this video for reasons about why you shouldn't. Romanticizing the Past After you've been separated from someone, There's a tendency to romanticize the past. Meaning that you focus only on the good things that happened and ignore all the bad. By blocking out all the reasons why you two didn't work out, you're recreating a false image of that person. You're remembering somebody who didn't really exist. When you remember only the good you no longer miss your ex and instead miss the idea of them. For example say you just broke up with "Person A." You start to miss them and th

Introversion is an often misunderstood term because people relate it so much to shyness. It actually doesn't go by a "one size fits all" definition, as it can be categorized into four different types: Social Introverts The belief that social introverts dislike socialization is false. Rather, they prefer to socialize in small groups of people they feel compatible with and comfortable around, such as close friends or their family circle. Thus, they're not exactly shy or reserved. Thinking Introverts These are people who remain introverts in their thinking process, causing them to be more thoughtful and self-reflective. For instance, they can get lost in their own dream world, drowned in creativity and imagination. Anxious Introverts Anxious introverts prefer to be alone because they feel uncomfortable or unsuitable during social gatherings, as they're not confident about their social skills. Consequently, they are likely to choose so

After a long stressful day, what better way to recharge than a nap? There's no better feeling than napping a bit before getting back to work. But there's more to napping than you might think. Here are 22 facts about napping. Before we begin, we'd like to express our gratitude to each and every one of you for watching this video and supporting our community. Even though you should be taking naps right now, with your help, we're able to make psychology more accessible to everyone. Now onto the facts: 1.

You can't avoid that down period after lunch By not eating, human bodies naturally go through two phases of deep tiredness: between 2 to 4:00 AM and between 1 to 3:

Schizophrenia is a term that is well recognized in psychology and mental health but not well understood. It has many misconceptions, including violent and aggressive split personalities and unpredictable behaviors. But what is schizophrenia really? What are the symptoms of schizophrenia? And what do people with schizophrenia actually experience? The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), used by psychologists and psychiatrists to diagnose psychiatric illnesses, sets criteria for schizophrenia. To meet the DSM criteria for schizophrenia, a person needs to experience two or more of the following for at least one month: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, chaotic behavior, and any form of negative symptoms.

Have you been unhappy with your life or feeling like you're not living to your fullest potential? Failure, disappointment, and setbacks are all a part of the journey, but here's a small secret: you ultimately still have control over what happens. Ready to cleanse your soul and make some major changes? Here are 10 habits that are destroying your motivation: 1. Checking Your Phone When You First Wake Up This is how five minutes can easily turn into an hour. Most of us are guilty of doing it, and there's nothing wrong with admitting this. But have you been happy with this habit? Does it keep you from having a productive morning, or do you find yourself stressed because you checked your work emails or someone else's glamorized life on Instagram? Try to find some quiet time instead. Fix yourself a nutritious breakfast, go for a walk, or read. You'd be surprised how a good morning can affect the way the rest of your day unfolds. 2. Making Excuses for Your

Understanding the Four Types of Introverts Social introversion is what's commonly accepted and understood as the stereotypical definition of introversion. Social introverts prefer solitude or small groups of people over large gatherings. They'd rather stay home with a book or laptop or hang out with close friends than go to parties with many unfamiliar faces. Social introversion is different, however, from shyness because there's no anxiety attached to their need for solitude. Thinking introversion is a newer concept. Thinking introverts are introspective, thoughtful, and self-reflective. Unlike social introverts, they don't feel a need to avoid large social scenes. Instead, they like to daydream, using their rich imaginations and creative capacities. Anxious introverts, on the other hand, seek time alone because they feel awkward and self-conscious. Unlike social introverts, they experience painful shyness around new people, and the anxiety doesn't necessaril

Your pupils dilate to adjust to the dark. You see a staircase ahead of you. You run up the rest of the way not looking behind you, you turn on the light and your heart unclenches. Fear is an Interesting Thing, Isn't It? Here to give you five weird facts about being scared. Fact 1: Some People Prefer the Treat While Others Prefer the Trick Some people like being afraid. They watch horror movies. They ride rollercoasters and they often take us along for the ride. But why do these people like being scared? Isn't fear inherently a negative emotion? When scared, our instinctual survival response kicks into action. This floods our body with hormones and neurotransmitters, making us stronger and faster. Adrenaline is a hormone that plays a huge factor and gives us the rush some people crave. Fact 2: Most of Our Fears are Nurture and Not Nature We are born with two innate fears: Heights and loud sounds. Most other fears are learned as children. We learn that snakes are scar

Gaslighting is the manipulation of a person into questioning their own sanity. It's prevalent in abusive relationships and can persist even after the relationship ends. It's crucial to recognize these dynamics and remove gaslighters from your life. Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that grants power to the abuser by making the victim doubt their own perceptions and beliefs. Here are ten signs to identify gaslighting in an abusive relationship: 1. Using Your Fears Abusers often act charming to extract information and later use it against you. They exploit your vulnerabilities, aiming to feel superior. For instance, if you're insecure about your weight, they may mock you or compare you unfavorably to others. 2. Knowing You Abusers may act as if they know everything about you, even your thoughts. When challenged, they accuse you of lying or convince you that you're lying to yourself. 3. Dismissing Your Concerns Abusers may label your valid concerns as &qu

Have you ever sat through a boring class? Only to find yourself drifting into a daydream? Maybe you have dreamt about laying in paradise, minutes before checking out of a shift. In most cases, we daydream when we wish to be elsewhere but can't change the current setting or situation just yet. It sounds harmless, creative, and fun right? But too much of anything is always bad for you. Here's what you need to know about maladaptive daydreaming. What is it? Maladaptive daydreaming is a term first coined by Professor Eli Somer. It is a psychiatric phenomenon that can interfere with your ability to carry out daily tasks, including your academics, work, and other regular activities. Professor Somer found that maladaptive daydreaming occurs in people's lives that have suffered from severe trauma. As a result, they would daydream in order to escape their harsh painful realities. What's interesting about maladaptive daydreaming is that it actually isn't represented i

Are you bored and unmotivated at your current job, or unsure about what you want to do in life? As we get older, people always ask us the most dreaded question: "What do you do for a living?" We could either settle and work a safe job that helps pay the bills, or we could be working actively to achieve our dreams. Whichever path you decide to take, know that reality is rarely ever that black and white. In between, you always have a choice to do what works for you.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a mental disorder that affects the individual's ability to focus. They may need to move around frequently and might have trouble controlling their impulsive behaviors. According to the American Psychiatric Association, it affects roughly 8% of children and 2% of adults. Unfortunately, many misconceptions are attached to this disorder. For instance, many people believe with medication ADHD can be immediately cured or grown out of. Some also commonly believed that it only affects boys, because they're perceived as rowdy and rambunctious. We want to educate the public with only the truth and offer support to those diagnosed with it. Symptoms and Signs One - The symptoms and signs of ADHD. First and foremost, we want you to know that it's never a good idea to self-diagnose. Please visit a health professional in order to receive reliable insight.

Have you recently stopped to look at your life from a “big picture” perspective? Do you feel like you are moving forward towards your goals or do you feel stuck in your routine? It is very easy to get lost in the motions of the day and repeatedly perform the same tasks every single day. These harmful yet small habits can pile up and take on bigger, often negative, meaning later on. Thus identifying the small signs as they creep into your lifestyle can help nip the problem at the bud. Before we begin please note, this is for educational purposes and is based on personal opinions. It is not a substitute for professional advice, but for general guidance. We advise you to always listen to your intuition and always do what is right for you. 1. You’re not interested in anything Do you feel bored with life?

Narcissism and vanity are often considered mirror images of each other. We think of both as being enamored with our own beauty image and self-centered attitudes. This, however, is a shallow representation of what Narcissism really is. Narcissism is a spectrum. On one side, you have self-assurance and confidence, which make for a happy and healthy personality. On the other side, you have Narcissistic Personality Disorder which is self-centered, non-empathetic, and emotionally draining to be around. Narcissism and vanity are somewhere in the middle. They're not healthy but they're not as damaging as NPD. NPD can only be diagnosed by a professional, and isn't something you can develop or catch. The seed of Narcissism is usually planted in childhood. Differences in upbringing make for differences in Narcissism, and change which narcissistic traits people develop. Types of Narcissism What types of Narcissism are there? How does narcissism present itself? We&#

So, you want to take a psychology class? Whether it be an elective you want to take before deciding on your degree or you just want to take it for fun to learn more, there are a few things you should know before you sign up for a psychology class. General Number one: It's going to be general. There are different subfields of psychology. Usually psychology is referred to as the relationship between brain functions and behavior or environment. The different types of fields are forensic psychology, child psychology, development, media, military... The list goes on. If you want to take a basic introduction to psychology, you will most likely be taught a general view of all the subfields. Number two: When you take a psychology course and begin to learn the different disorders people have, it may make you obligated to self-diagnose either yourself or your friends or family. You have to be careful with this though. You may start to agree with the symptoms of certain disorders. If yo

At first glance, dreams might be just fictional scenarios our minds make up when we're sleeping. But what if there's more to them than just stories we tell others, or write about after? Although there's no scientific evidence to prove that dreams hold special meaning, for many years they have been studied to promote better self-awareness, and to help us understand what's bothering us in our everyday lives. According to Suzanne Bergman, a social worker and dream specialist, "Dreams are a universal language, creating often elaborate images out of emotional concepts." Have you been recognizing certain themes you frequently dream about? Here are 7 common dream meanings. 1. Being lost or trapped This is a common dream many people have. Being lost or trapped usually means you're unsure about what step to take next from a particular circumstance in real life. People who dream about getting lost in the woods, a large building, or any maze-like structure in g

The Odd Couple: Navigating Introvert-Extrovert Relationships So you've successfully made it past the asking out, first date, and getting to know you phases of a relationship. Congratulations! But now that you are in a relationship with someone who isn't a total introvert, what do you do? How do you make it work? For most, an ideal partner is neither a full introvert nor extrovert but rather an ambivert, someone in between. I've dated a true introvert and we were hermits together, which I guess defeats the purpose of being a hermit, but basically, it meant that we avoided the world together and never stepped outside of our comfort zones. I've also dated a true life of the party extrovert, and as you can imagine, that was not a good match. I was continuously uncomfortable and frankly felt like a burden to him. I'm thankfully married now and it's going strong. For Introverts: Dealing with a similar situation? Here is how I maintain a relationship with som

Moving on from a breakup is a difficult process. Following the shock of the initial separation, our feelings of anger, sadness, and grief are often crippling and mind-numbing. The pain of a breakup is so profound that it sometimes leaves us not knowing what to do next. Though there's no one-pill medicine to soothe a broken heart, there are certain ways that will help you move on and heal faster. Here are 10 ways to help you deal with heartbreak: 1) Steer Clear and Keep Distance After the initial shock of a breakup, and on occasions, the somewhat empty promise to remain friends, it is important to remember to distance yourself from them. No communication whatsoever, including calls, texts, and IMs. Even contact with the same friends or families should be avoided. It doesn't mean that you have to avoid them forever, but it is important to keep away for a while in order for you to heal your heart and move on. 2) Surround Yourself with Support When

Overview Have you ever wondered how the birth order affects your personality? In this video, we will present correlational findings between one's birth order and personality. Let's consider three different situations... Research Research shows that the firstborn children have better results in IQ tests and better grades at school than the other siblings. They are also better leaders and tend to be more conscientious, achieving higher goals. Middle Born Children Middle born children are likely to be more open to fantasy and less religious.

Whether you are an aspiring psychologist or just curious about what makes you and all your fellow humans tick, psyched ago is constantly inspired by your drive to learn more. But even with this relentless passion to figure things out, the human brain and how it works remains the tantalizing puzzle still largely unsolved. In honor of our amazing brains and how much we still have to learn about them, psyched ago has compiled a list of ten strange phenomena of the mind to keep your curiosity burning. 1. Deja Vu Deja vu, meaning "already seen," is probably the most well-known of the strange phenomena. If you've ever felt like you lived the same moment twice, you've probably experienced this before. That eerie feeling is called deja vu. 2. Deja Vecu This strange phenomenon is often mixed up with deja vu but is actually more like its bigger, more vivid sibling. In addition to that eerie feeling of repeating a moment, you can also recognize specific
