Q: If you have trouble remembering whether you took your medication every morning, just say, "I just took my medication!" right after you took it, to reinforce this idea in your mind. Saying this aloud will help you remember that you did indeed take your medication. This also works if you're meeting a new person and don't want to forget his name. Just repeat the name naturally after you learn it: "Hi, Sarah, it's nice to meet you." This also works to remember an address or a meeting time. Just repeat it aloud to the person who invited you: "The Grand Tavern at 7? That sounds perfect." When it's time to study or remember something new, switch your breathing pattern to be slower and deeper. Deeper and slower breathing actually changes the way your brain works, by inducing the brain's electrical pulses to switch to Theta waves, which normally occur in your brain in hypnogogic sleep. To activate your Theta waves, switch your breathing to your lower abdomen - in other words, start breathing deeply from your stomach. Consciously slow your rate of breathing too. After a few moments, you should feel calmer, the Theta waves should be flowing in your brain, and you should be more receptive to remembering new information. Use a popular trick out of FDR's playbook for memorizing a person's name. When a person introduces themselves to you, picture them with their name written on their forehead. This will associate the image of that person with their name. Some studies suggest that squeezing a stress ball or making a fist with your hand can help you remember a piece of information later. Before memorizing the information, squeeze the stress ball in your dominant hand. For a right-handed person, this would be your right hand. When you need to remember the information, squeeze the stress ball in your opposite hand for at least 45 seconds. This simple action might be enough to help you remember. This simple act can stimulate the brain and improve your concentration, especially if you need to remember information for 30 minutes or more. Some studies have suggested that visual and auditory memory improves when a person chews gum by keeping the individual more focused. When you need to remember something for less than 30 minutes, though, it is actually better not to chew anything. Studies show that moving your eyes from side to side for just 30 seconds once a day will align the two parts of your brain and make your memory work more smoothly. Try this trick when you wake up in the morning. Studies show that smelling rosemary can improve your recall. Carry around a sprig of rosemary or smell rosemary oil once a day. The Ancient Greeks even put a spring of rosemary behind their ears on exam days to help them boost their memories. Begin by memorizing this list of ten words. It's simple - because each word rhymes with its number in the list. When you have to remember a lot of things, use these rhyme-number patterns. For example, you have to remember to clean your glasses. The singular for 'glasses' is 'glass', so just remember this. If this is the first thing on your list, picture a gun, which rhymes with one, shooting the glass. By association the original activity should pop back into your head.

Include the following information regarding your education: The full name of any institutions you attended. Include the address of those institutions. When you graduated and what degree you earned.

These hobbies should demonstrate your skill and passion for software development even further. Only include your hobbies if you have enough space to do so as this section is optional on your resume. Only include hobbies relevant to the position you are applying for. For example, you might program and develop games for the Android platform as a hobby. Another example would be any community events you organized that might demonstrate leadership. Include your hobbies only if you have room on your resume to do so. Employers are likely to receive a large amount of resumes that they will need to read through quickly.
