Forward mail to another account

Gmail lets you automatically forward incoming mail to another address.
Here's how to forward messages automatically:

1. Click the gear icon in the upper right, then select Settings.
2. Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
3. From the first drop-down menu in the "Forwarding" section, select 'Add new email address.'
4. Enter the email address to which you'd like your messages forwarded.
5. For your security, we'll send a verification to that email address.
6. Open your forwarding email account, and find the confirmation message from the Gmail team.
7. Click the verification link in that email.
8. Back in your Gmail account, select the 'Forward a copy of incoming mail to...' option and select your forwarding address from the drop-down menu.
9. Select the action you'd like your messages to take from the drop-down menu. You can choose to keep Gmail's copy of the message in your inbox, or you can send it automatically to All Mail or Trash. But Its better to use it archive copy in gmail because it will stop the duplicate email.
10. Click Save Changes.

You also can set up filters to forward messages that meet specific criteria. You can create 20 filters that forward to other addresses. You can maximize your filtered forwarding by combining filters that send to the same address.

The world’s largest business school

The UK’s Open University Business School is the world’s largest MBA provider with triple accreditation at EQUIS, Amba and AACSB. And the best is: it offers access to an elite business school, whatever a student’s starting point is and wherever he is in the world. MBA-Channel has had a chat with the school’s new dean, Rebecca Taylor, about distance learning and top-quality teaching.

B-schools: Shifting the game plan

Whilst applications to full time MBAs have decreased, online degrees are a growing market for b-schools. Top schools have opened up their offers to online students and more and more second- and third-tier business schools are trying to grab a piece of the growing online degree market.

A recent survey of online students conducted by online educational consultants Learning House and Aslanian Market Research found that one-third of online students pursue business degrees making it the most popular field for online degrees. Most of these online business students seek degrees in administration/management, finance, and accounting.
The more crowded the market place becomes, the more distinguishing factors the schools have thought of to stand out from the crowd. Most of these try to battle the perceived disadvantage of online learning – the missing networking factor. Therefore sophisticated videoconferencing software, social media tools and obligatory residency components have become popular additions to the courses. One of the most recent offers on the market showcases this. It comes from Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management in the U.S. The school has just recently launched a new two-year online MBA programme where students will be able to consult with other students, the faculty as well as companies in a virtual environment. Students will also need to spend a three-day residency on campus.
Other brand new online MBA degrees are offered by George Washington University’s School of Business, the University of Texas Pan-American’s College of Business Administration, University of New Hampshire’s Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey for example.
Even the top ranked business schools seem to slowly open up to online learning despite the fact that most have been hesitant to enter the online market in recent years. Kenan-Flagler has started its online degree MBA@UNC for example. The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and the University of Virignia’s Darden School of Business will offer a few business courses online later this year. And Harvard University, University of California at Berkeley and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are planning classes on the platform edX, a not-for-profit online learning initiative from autumn onwards.
Stanford University, however, has taken a different approach. Whilst the Stanford Graduate School of Business does not offer an online degree, the University itself views the online game as a great field for experimentation. After introducing three free online computer sciences classes last year that drew more than 350,000 participants from around the world, the university has established another five free online classes in March 2012.
The online classes are part of a university initiative to creatively use new technology to improve education both on campus and off. The online classes are taught by regular Stanford faculty and are highly interactive. Participants view short interactive video clips that include live quizzes and instant feedback. At the same time, participants help each other through online discussions similar to a comment thread on a social networking site. Those enrolled in the free classes do not get Stanford credit for their work, but they do receive a statement of accomplishment if they successfully complete a course.

inspirational Speechs

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

“If you believe that every life has equal value, it’s revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not. We said to ourselves: “This can’t be true. But if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving.”     – Bill Gates


“[Now] it’s time for you to move on to what’s next. But you must not let anything deter you from taking those first steps. [D]on’t spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, that you miss the right opportunity. Recognize that there will be failures, and acknowledge that there will be obstacles. But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, for there is very little learning in success.”
- Michael Dell


“Really when I look back at it I wouldn’t change a thing. I mean it was so important to me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is – To be true to yourself. Ultimately that’s what’s gotten me to this place. I don’t live in fear, I’m free, I have no secrets, I know I’ll always be okay because no matter what, I know who I am.” - Ellen


“You might never fail on the scale I did. But some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all. In which case, you fail by default.” – JK Rowling


“You’re going to find naysayers in every turn that you make. Don’t listen. Just visualize your goal, know exactly where you want to go. Trust yourself. Get out there and work like hell. Break some of the rules and never ever be afraid of failure.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger

How not to write an Internship CV

A Google search on “How to write a CV” returns 66,200,000 pages and still we have people (and not just students alone) asking around tips on how to write a CV that stands out and conveys the message. Either those 66 million plus pages are written in Zulu language or the students are not reading them. How else do we explain student internship CVs running into 3+ pages even before the start of their professional career?

To me the fundamental problem seems to be arising because very few of us pause to think what is the exact purpose of a CV? What do you think a CV is supposed to do? The objective of a CV is one and only one – to get you an interview call. Once this becomes clear, everything else falls into place.
