Formatting your resume

When writing a resume there are a few formats you can choose, including chronological, functional, and targeted resumes. but, regardless what format of resume you select, there are certain guidelines that most resumes should follow. Here’s what to include in your resume, as well as what shouldn’t be listed on your resume. There are guidelines for resume length, font and page margins. Resume Guidelines:Resume Length: Your resume should be as concise as possible; two pages is the maximum length, but one page is preferable. Here’s more about resume length and how long your resume should be. Font and Size: Do not use ornate fonts that are difficult to read; Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri, or a similar font is best. Your font size should be between 10 and 12 points, although your name and the section headings can be a little larger and/or bolder. Here’s how to select a font for your resume.  Page Margins: The standard page margins in word processing programs (1” margins on the top, bottom and left and right sides of the page) work for most resumes. However, if you need to tighten the margins to reduce the length of your resume, it’s fine to reduce the margins to a 1/2” on the sides and top and bottom.

Layout: Keep each section in a uniform fashion. For example, if you put the name of one company in italics, every company name must be in italics. Information to Avoid: Do not include personal information unless the position requires it.

The moment he took a pencil and drew something on the wall that later on turned out to be a car, his design career was started. Then he swapped a pencil for a spray paint and cars were drawn not only inside his house but also on city streets. Afterwards, he found practical use for his skills and worked for a student newspaper as an illustrator while studying tourist management. Career in that field ended before it even started and Maxim decided to become a designer.

Resume/CV

The differences between a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a page or two, a curriculum vitae is a longer (at least two page) and more detailed synopsis. A curriculum vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details.

Searching for a Web Host

by CharlieB

When it comes searching for a web hosting, people shouldn’t be looking for an average webhost, or even a decent webhost, people should search for the best webhost.

the reason why, when it comes to web hosting, the real estate selling moto is “location, location, location” in the case of hosting a website get’s translated to “speed, speed, speed”.

here are a few reasons for this, not the least of which is that speed is one of the indicators consumers have for trust. Again like location, if a gas station can afford a prime location, then we the consumer tends to think they’re probably trustworthy since they’re good enough to afford such a location. The same thing follows nicely into the online world. If your client’s site is hosted on a fast server then this site is probably trustworthy.

there’s really no single rule for how many web sites can be on a shared hosting box, or what kind of dedicated box that you should be using for your site. Given the choices in hardware on the market today it’s common to see some high end shared hosting far outperform the low end of the dedicated market.

So if that’s the case, then how should a merchant judge his store’s performance? Easy, your goal should be to approach Amazon.com’s speed for loading a page. In general 2 -3 seconds per page load is acceptable, and 5 – 6 seconds is not.

While speed is the most important thing a web designer is looking for in a webhost, it’s not the only thing. For webhosting, merchant’s should make sure the companies they’re considering are experts and should focus mostly on webhosting or at a minimum have experts on their staff
