The fact that there are several candidates for the opening and HR professionals spend a few seconds in the analysis of a curriculum vitae before accepting or relegate to the dustbin, the importance of good curriculum vitae can \’t be overstated. A good CV is written the proverbial foot in the door that may lead to greater opportunities, and in the case of an applicant for employment, which translates to an interview, and if all goes well, work.
A resume is a dynamic entity that can change with the professional growth and learning of any individual. It is meant to be a brief yet informative statement of purpose and capabilities of a professional. Professionals should regularly spend more time in taking stock of their professional achievements and new skills acquired. This helps them to obtain assurance of their position in the job market and update their resume so that if a real good job opportunity comes to them, they are ready to go for it. Since persons with the most current knowledge and related experiences are always in demand, an updated resume that is in sync with the skill-set of the professionals will stand out among the other resumes. An updated resume also serves to remind professionals of their own accomplishments such that they can elaborate on them just by taking a big glance at the resume. This will be of an immense help while facing an interview board.
Sometimes, job hunting yield great results when professionals try to extend themselves to streams of work that they are not previously considered as an career option. Upon making a rational assessment of the qualifications that they have earned and the skills they have acquired, many professionals find that they can in fact apply for more than just the obvious jobs. A switch in job responsibilities within an industry or a move to another industry is often achievable with excellent consequences for the professional both in terms of remuneration and work satisfaction.
It is always advisable to post a resume on as many online job sites as possible. This exposes the resume to a very wide audience including both employers and recruiters. Professionals do not necessarily have to post the same resume on all the sites; they can customize their resumes to meet the requirements of the job openings posted on different sites. Companies are often partial to particular job sites and visit them more regularly in search of prospective job candidates. It may also be a good idea to avail the services of resume distribution companies that can distribute an individual\’s resume to several job sites as well as prospective employers.
The key to getting a good job is to have the right credentials and letting people know that you have the right credentials; this entails staying networked and if it implies taking help from friends and family for submitting one\’s resume for an opening, professionals should not shy away from it. Often, resumes floated around by acquaintances can lead to an interview call. Job seekers should not ignore this effective medium of distributing their resumes and gaining information on exciting job opportunities.

Places to see in Panama City include the city center (great restaurants, casinos, shopping, etc), the Amador Causeway (walking, biking, canal-ship views, restuarants), Casco Viejo (the old town), the Panama Canal and it\’s fine museum. Panama has a low crime rate, but check with your hotel before heading out on your own, especially at night. Avoid the area around Chinatown (between downtown and Casco Viejo).

The next option is to rent a car at the Tocumen airport, or in Panama City, and drive to Boquete. Once outside of Panama City the route is actually quite pleasant and the roads are good. The Pan-American highway is four lanes to Santiago (about halfway) and two lanes the rest of the way. The trip is best taken during daylight, and takes about 6-7 hours.
The most common way to get to Boquete is to take the flight from Albrook in Panama City to David, then rent a car to drive up the mountain. The flight is only about an hour and connections vary. Be aware that luggage weights are strictly controlled on both Aeroperlas and Air Panama (about 30 pounds), so some people leave their \”fancier\” clothes at their hotel in Panama City and pick them up on the way home.
About David, Panama – Boquete\’s Industrial Center
David is the second-largest city in Panama with a population of about 125,000. It may not be much to look at but it is the source for almost everything you buy (other than groceries and restuarants) while you are in Boquete. Besides being the legal (lawyer) and government capital of the region, you will also find hardware stores, auto delearships, Price Club (Costco), TGI Fridays, and even the Golden Arches. If you have time, have a look around and see what David has to offer.
On the Way to … David and Boquete, Panama
There are three ways to get to Boquete from Panama City. The first option is to take a bus to the city of David, then rent a car there for the 45-minute drive to Boquete. Buses depart from the Albrook airport several times daily for the 7-8 hour ride, with prices about $25 each way. Check with your hotel for details.

Once outside of the city, the drive is actually quite easy and the roads are good (Pan-American highway, four lanes part of the way). The trip will take 6 to 8 hours depending on weather and stops.

Things to See in Boquete, Panama
After checking into your hotel room try a walking tour of Boquete. Stop in some shops, practice your Spanish, and get a feel for the local charm. Stop by the Romero supermarket (near central park) and do some price comparisons of things you find at home. Chicken, rum, fish, vegetables and coffee are very cheap, imported goods (Kraft cheese) are not. Next stop by a local restaurant for a refreshment (cervesa nacional for a dollar, or less) and dinner. We recommend Boquete Bistro, Panamonte, Amigos and Delicias Peru – with many others to choose from.
