The resume gets you the interview. The evaluation you speak of comes much later and by that time you'll know the folks well enough to determine what interests you have in common and present those as educated disclosures rather than random bits hoping for a bite.
True, dat. Depends on your interviewing practices, I suppose; I tend to keep resumes around throughout the process to refer back to.
The overarcing point, which we seem to agree on, is that you need to *differentiate* yourself, and you need to be a *total* package. You hire a person, not a skill-set. Or, at least, you should, or you're going to regret your decision.
There also hasn't been any proof from Saddam that he's disarmed in compliance with various UN resolutions.
What it all boils down, to, though, is that if you say 'Bark, or I'll smack you,' and the other person doesn't bark, you damn well better smack them, or don't count on having any credibility.
Well, the US said 'bark, or we'll smack you,' and Saddam has been saying 'meow!' So, the US has to do some smacking. Granted, they probably shouldn't have said 'bark, or we'll smack you' in the first place, and left the thing as a bit of a festering mess, but that's a different discussion.
All going to show that advice that works perfectly for one hiring manager is going to not work with another.
Any boss that is going to interview someone because he plays basketball I don't want to work for. Fortunately, I've been involved with hiring at four different companies and have never seen this kind of thing come up.
No, no, not like that. More like 'Gosh, both Bob and Joe would be PERFECT for this position, but rather than flip a coin, I'll hire Bob, because he collects Beanie Babies, and so do I. We can swap humorous stories about yard sales, around the coffee machine.'
The creators of the game probably did nothing more than avoid windows-specific coding techniques, making it workable under wine.
Actually, they *did* avoid windows-specific coding techniques, as it was developed SIMULTANIOUSLY on Windows and Mac. Probably has a lot to do with why it runs on WineX so easily.
Speaking as somebody who's hired, who's been hired, and who's been rejected, I'll tell you this.
Very often: Your resume should be two pages. It should be catchy. It will be scanned for approximately 30 seconds, if even. It will be automatically discarded for a spelling mistake, formatting error, or other stupid little mistake.
It serves one purpose, and one purpose only; to get you into an interview. Therefore, put onto those two pages what will get you into that interview. If it's for a security related position, and you've done some security SIG work, put it on there. If it's not, don't put it on there. Don't do anything cute (I heard of one woman that always stapled a package of cup-a-noodle soup to her resumes, with a little 'sit back, relax, have some soup, and enjoy the resume' note. The response? 'I don't have time for this' and into the trash can.) No wierd fonts, no water marks, no designs on the paper.
Speaking of paper, use good, heavy, textured white or creme coloured paper. For a variety of reasons, from 'it soaks up the ink better' to 'it feels more solid' it's going to look nicer. You're selling yourself, as a product, basicially; pay some attention to packaging.
Similarly, ALWAYS put some hobbies/interests. When it comes down to two equally skilled/appropriate individuals, the fact that you share some hobbies with your boss is going to be enough to nudge you over the edge. After all, you work with people, not skill sets.
That having been said, when putting up a blanket online resume, it's going to be big. But if that's what you're printing and submitting, you're going to get tossed out.
The thing is, you shouldn't have a resume. You should *create* a resume for every job that you apply to, that resume only listing what is of interest to that job.
Your c.v. on the other hand, should list all sorts of crap. Similarly, in academia, you're going to have lists of your publishing and the like.
Can anyone really trust EXT3, ReiserFS, softupdates, or journaled NTFS to be able to cope with this random abuse? A simple startup delay (think R, C, and a relay) won't fix it, either.
Yes, because unless you're explicitly uploading new material, you're booting your filesystems in *read only* mode.
And IF that's the case, which it will not be, then it will be taken care of.
Do you honestly think that stores want to deal with the liability issues involved when a thief with an RFID reader starts trolling the parking lots of the local mall, looking for somebody who made a nice, juicy purchase and stuck it in his car?
Do you honestly think they want to deal with the CNN two-day-circus of 'Tonight, on Connie Chung: A woman was kidnapped and brutally murdered by her husband, who tracked her by a radio tag built into her clothes...by WAL-MART? The shocking story.'
There will be some provision for either killing them, or removing them at the store. Or, public opinion will kill them.
There's a commercial like that; a real hooliganish looking guy keeps picking stuff up, sticking it in pockets...he walks out, you see a flicker of laser light (presumably because radio waves don't make good television) and is stopped by a guard, who politely informs him that he forgot his receipt.
But what happens to privacy when everything you buy can be tracked from store floor to door?
Probably about as much happens when your shopping cart contents are itemized at the cash register.
Come on. I mean, come on. This is getting stupid. "Oh, no, my rights are being violated, because the store is TRACKING THEIR OWN MERCHANDISE until such time as I actually pay it. Oh, woe is me. Woe woe woe."
Download the right bits from Microsoft.com, free of charge, and you can even build a custom installer and image that doesn't even have the option to install that bit. You can even build it into an intellimirror or SMS auto-distributed package, and schlump it down to computers, or just burn it onto CD for easy installation.
You're right; Occam's Razor *does* suggest that entire chain of events.
That's useless, though, until you can prove it.
I'll point out this: Drop a feather, drop a feather-weight ball of foam. The foam drops faster than the feather. Occam's Razor: two bodies of equal mass are NOT equally affected by gravity. This is, of course, wrong; the feather is merely experiencing aerodynamic drag that the ball isn't.
In other words, simple explanations do not lend themselves to complex systems.

Yes, except that one. As mentioned, it appears I've slipped into illiteracy again.
That having been said, 60 minutes isn't enough to critique something like Moo3, any more than three bites are enough to critique a seven course meal.

Very true, very true, but thems the chances you take.
Oh, and bear in mind that some of us like to make a game of identifying your version of Word for Windows by which Resume Wizard you used. :-)

I think you got trolled; quartertothree.com doesn't seem to have a review of Moo3...
Either that, or I've slipped into illteracy again.
Actually, the game went gold Jan 24th, and full review copies have been out for a while. It's not an alpha or beta.

The Moo3 manual is 161+ pages. A good third of that is backstory.
The strat guide was a DISAPPOINTMENT, compared to classics such as MOO1, or Master of Magic.

Well, at that point, if your FAX machine runs out of paper and stores a junk fax in memory, it's no longer considered a FAX machine?

Hell, if he tried to liquify a chunk of his assets, he'd seriously screw with the world economy.
Ah, but putting in both windows AND linux results in about 3,970,000.
Telling it to find pages with windows but without linux results in 5,810,000 results.
