Through Your Personal Profile You Can Promote Anything Across The Internet

Your personal profile will tell everything about you: your world standing or status and your world connections – either you are a blogger, an online writer, networker or a businessman and a woman. A simple but unique personal profile helps attract people to like you, to believe you and to follow you. Creating your simple and unique personal profile is like creating an attractive resume. The only difference is that you will write short descriptions about you: your job, business, status, connections and other things that are significant and momentous to you.

Bear in mind that HIT is important on your profile. Hit reveals some important good qualities you posses. Hit is the abbreviation form for the following words that you must consider.

Honesty - is all about truthfulness, candidness, admirable, fairness, adherence, decency, allegiance, rectitude, goodness and honor.
Integrity - is all about purity, sincerity, modesty, coherence, constancy, credibility, liability, entirety, impartiality and values.
Trustworthiness - is all about reliable, believable, veracious, up front, authentic, authoritative, certain, resolute, cogent and decent.

Your name must appear on your profile. Other people used aka, alias, nickname, allonym (which is a pen name that is borrowed) and pseudonym. It is legal and normal. But for me I would rather use my real name. Under your name, you can include a short motivational piece - it is about something that will hook a reader or a visitor to think about and follow it up by some significant keywords about you - like the sample I used here and if you can avoid do not use other's photos to be included on your profile - use your own photos.

Write your bio as short and simple. Your biodata is regarding your education and work history. And they are needed when creating your awesome resume. However, on your personal profile - you don't need to include all the information. Only include your last attended education and your present job including your status (male, female, married, single, children) and describe them in one paragraph or two. You can also include some great saying, inspiration and your passion though avoid wordiness.

Your world status and connections must appear on your profile. This includes some of your blog sites, those paying sites you are writing with, your other social networks and other e-groups you are connected with, and if you are running a business in the Internet include the link of your website. But avoid telling people to buy your products. Only show them the way going to those sites. Avoid referral links instead use your profile page links. Now look below my simple personal profile.

Solution to Help The Jobless Saudi Nationals

Map of the territory and area covered by prese...

Seven years ago, the Saudization was intensified and there were many interesting incidents ensued such as picking up of employees, head-shaving and the hibernating of arrested workers in a closed quarters guarded by the authorities for a day or couple of weeks before sending them back home. Mostly of the expatriates and foreigners alike in Saudi Arabia believed that Saudization is a warning sign and time will come that the host country would no longer need the services of the expatriates.

The campaign of Saudization aims to saudize some jobs sectors including retails and sales jobs. And to support the Saudization, the Labor Ministry had launched a special training program for Saudi Nationals, to be trained and make them fit to work for the targeted different categories of business activities. The Saudi Government has prioritized Saudization, as a positive solution aiming to increase employment of Saudi Nationals across all sectors of the domestic economy, to reduce servility on foreign workers, and to get back and restore income that would have flowed overseas as remittances.

Full Story Saudization is a Positive Solution to Help The Jobless Saudi Nationals

As part of Saudization program on July 2, 2011, the Saudi Government has stopped hiring new workers from Philippines, Indonesia and other Asian countries and also starting checking out those companies in the Kingdom who do not comply and disregard the goal of Saudization. Honestly, I am affected with Saudization but my two hands are up and saluting the Saudi Government. Saudization is a positive solution to help the jobless Saudi Nationals. Every year the Kingdom also produced thousands of new graduates from colleges and universities and these young Saudis need jobs too!

Saudi Arabia is Strong and Powerful

Aramco, the Saudi national oil company, whose ...

Image via Wikipedia (ARAMCO)

In 1902, a young man of distinguished courage and ability defended his family against enemies: he who would die for his right and obligations to his country: he arrived from Kuwait. He was the son of the ruling Saud. His name was Abdul Aziz Al – Rahman bin Faisal Al – Saud.

At the age of 19, he began the re conquest of his family’s former lands. With forty men he courageously combated and re conquered his family’s kingdom. He captured Riyadh, the present capital of Saudi Arabia, and the territory around it, ruled by Al – Rashed. He killed Rashed by a sword. At once he proclaimed himself as the new ruler. That period also marked the new dawn and hope for Arabia.

In 1913, bin Saud, as he became known, seized the Persian Gulf coastline between Qatar and Kuwait from the Turks. By 1922, he ruled the whole of Central Arabia. In 1926, bin Saud conquered Hijas that is the Red Sea coast. And in the 1930s, oil was discovered – the most vital asset that brings economic and cultural changes to the country.

On September 23, 1932, King Abdul Aziz, formally declared Arabia under the named of the “Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” for what had been a union of regions comprising Najd, Hijas, Asir and Al – Hasa. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia became the blessed paradise in where people live to enjoy and be proud as one in culture, customs, and tradition and in faith.

In 1933, the first oil concession was granted to the California – Arabian Oil Company, the forerunner of Aramco. With the discovery of oil in commercial quantities in 1938, Saudi Arabia stood in the doorway of wealth and had the opportunity to modernize its infrastructure and economic life. Today, Saudi Arabia has the largest oil reserves in the world.

During his powerful leadership, many impacts of innovation followed. With his friendly approach, Saudi Arabia opened its door to foreign countries: that marked the many changes, which would occur. Hundred of the investors arrived with expertise and dedication. Hundreds of contract workers from other countries had come to Saudi Arabia to join forces and helped to develop the kingdom.

Osama Bin Laden: The Greatest Actor

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 01: People celebrate in the...

Image by Getty Images via @daylife

Even the superstars of Hollywood could not surpass Osama bin Laden’s stardom and his undiminished popularity. He’s brilliant. His acting was super and has shaken the world. Now he’s believed a cold dead meat! How true is it?

My thought about Osama bin Laden are based mainly from what I read from newspapers and Internet, from what I saw from Television and YouTube videos, from what I heard from Radios and from people I meet everyday.

Obviously, the people behind the media are the people who popularized Osama bin Laden. This included the thousands of Journalists around the world, the Televisions hosts and newscasters, the Radio hosts and broadcasters, the Cameramen, the Bloggers and other Writers and the common people. And according to FBI -Osama bin Laden was one of the Ten most wanted fugitives of the world. His head was equivalents to 25 millions US dollars plus another 2 millions US dollars for those who can guide of Osama bin Laden whereabouts.

If there were terrorists attacks that killed hundreds and thousands of innocents people and destroyed buildings and other properties Osama bin Laden’s name was always connected to them – as the planner or the mastermind. Example for this was the September 11 tragedy. But Osama bin Laden had denied these accusations.

Osama bin Laden’s popularity began when he joined and supported mujahideen – the Muslim fighters fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, when he established in 1984 an organization named Maktab al-Khadamat known as (MAK), which was supported by the governments of Pakistan, United States and Saudi Arabia. When in 1988 Osama bin Laden had left MAK and established a new rebel group called al-Queda. For details better watch the video about Bin Laden’s beginnings.

Full Story Osama Bin Laden: The Greatest Actor

Now Osama bin Laden is believed a cold dead meat. However, there are people who still don’t believed that he was killed as there was no evidence yet of his dead body!

Knowledge is Power

Meeting people with different customs, cultures and traditions and learning from them are exciting and memorable one and that is power! Thanks to Wikipedia for the Images in this article.

For some years of working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I could now walk straight on the open road with peace in mind and without fear. Now I could stand talking to some Saudis. They are friendly and hospitable people. And I learned that through appreciation and understandings with their cultures and abiding the laws regulated in the Kingdom are the most important things to consider.

Saudis are Generous People

Some of Saudis Customs

Saudis Receive Guests with Complete Attention

Things to Avoid

What to do if there is Unpleasant encounter with the Muttawa?

Knowledge is Power

I learned that Saudis are distinguished as good-groomed, loving, friendly and generous people. Saudi men wear their national clothes, a floor - length garment called thobe. Their heads are covered with a white or red and white-checkered scarf called ghutra, which they wear it indoors, and outdoors. In public the women wear black outer garment called abaya and a black veil over their heads and faces. They often wear black gloves as well.

In social conversations or even in the opening of business conversations, for Saudis there is always small talk in which an interest is shown in the health and well being of the other party. In conferring with Saudis, one should not show impatience or causeless rapidity. It is not practice by Saudis to introduce a visitor to their wives or daughters. But by way of politeness, a visitor can inquire about a female member of the family. For them it is chary and appropriate to ask about the family rather than the wife or daughter. When you invite a couple do not be surprised when only the man comes. And to sit or relaxing in a chair, with the legs so crossed, with the soles of the shoes, can offend to them.

To read the full article click Things that Count.

Saudis received guests with complete attention, and lavish hospitality of any circumstances. When in any kind of invitation is received, a prompt answer is expected from invited visitor in the language in which the invitation was extended. Saudi's coffee flavored with cardamom is first served in a small cup; three cups may be consumed, but it is impolite even if the bearer offers it to you and you will take a fourth. Then a sweetened tea is served in a small glass, and it is follows by unlimited quantities.

Saudis' dinner parties begin late in the evening. It is often around 9 and 10 PM. There are plenty of snacks to eat. Dinner is served as a climax to the evening's merriment. Any thing: foods, gifts or drinks to be received from a Saudi host, it should be taken with the right hand.

Expatriates in order to avoid counteract with the Muttawa or religious police, for immigrant women should wear an abaya. It should be used properly; otherwise it can offend many Saudis. Immigrant women if not wearing an abaya, they should wear garments, that are loose fitting, with hemmed in below mid-calf or ankle length, sleeves elbow length and necklines modest.

For men, they should wear long trousers and skirts that are not open below the collarbone in public. Religious police enforce ban on men wearing neck jewelry, when visiting the souqs (markets, malls and other public areas). It is inapt for men and women to touch publicly other than a brief handshake or to give assistance to a person crossing a street.

If in any unpleasant encounter with the Muttawa or with the police and for any reason should be sent to jail immediately contact your consulate or embassy or if you are working in a company, immediately contact the office of your company for help. The affairs of the Kingdom and its citizens are regulated in accordance with the Islamic law.
