The objective is the first thing the HR department reads. Put HR friendly stuff here.
Last time I looked for a job(two years ago) I had three resumes: DBA focus, Developer focus, general focus. I would send the one I felt best addressed the position for which I was applying.
AMEN BROTHER. If you have a one page resume and you've been working for five years, either you've had one job, or you have wasted your time.
Truth told, the resume won't make a huge difference. Really, there's two questions for any interviewee.
1. Will you work well with my other employees? I won't hire a troublemaker with an attitude.
2. Will you be able to do the job right within a reasonable amount of time?
IF you can help someone arrive at either of these answers BEFORE the interview with content in your resume, then THAT is what you put in there.
Umm...the tech bubble burst in 2000. You know, when Mr. Clinton was still in office. Kenneth Lay and Co. were high on the value of Enron in 2000. You know, when Clinton was in office.
I'm not saying that Clinton had anything to do with either situation. But come on now, at least try to get something right, before you're sarcastic about it.
For cryin' out loud...I was just making a joke by changing the context of his "try to keep up" comment. Lighten up! Erm, have a sense of humor, rather. By the way, I am suitably impressed by someone doing a 5k run on their lunch hour with a 4000 foot incline...if you're actually doing it.
You were really, really hunting for a way to insult someone today, weren't you, you asshole. This is about the application of a new technology in a convenient fashion. Go somewhere and masturbate some more, and keep your comments to yourself, assface.
Unless you're a sociopath with an obsession for civil rights(a highly unlikely combination at best), you are completely full of shit. The idea that the first thought that popped into your head was something not related to fire and death is completely incredulous.
You've hit the nail...not necessarily on the head, but close enough. Having kids is the time equivalent of having a second full time job. If you have a second full time job, or have a combination of school and a part time job that add up to ~30-40 hours a week, then yes, you have a tight schedule, just like people who have kids.
Well, in fact, I do have a wife and three kids, three young boys. Been married 8.5 years myself. I sleep ~6 hours a day, I cook with the kids, I shop with the kids, I clean with the kids, and I do maintenance with the kids. Its a good way for me to get good time in with them while still getting done what I need to get done. Personal study is a tough one....that would eat into the free time. Physical fitness..yep, another thing I do with the kids. My boys are slightly older than your's, and they get worn out during their day, so I just put them to bed at 8pm(that was a nightmare to train, but now its easy...just put them in bed, tell em its bedtime, and off they go to sleep.)
Oh, another thing. I don't have TV. At all. Well, we have some DVD's we've bought, but no cable, no antenna, nothing. It's amazing how much time that freed up! See, for me, it was relatively simple to garner 20 hours a week of my life back-I just stopped watching TV and playing video games. Now, of course, I could choose video games as my hobby, but I don't have that urge. To each their own, I guess.
By the way, when my kids were as young as your's, I had about three hours a week of discretionary time-if I was lucky...wife needed to sleep too-due to the increased need for sleep caused by those late late nights with the little one(s). Give yourself about two years, and you'll see that your sleep and discretionary time will increase as their schedule solidifies into a regular schedule.
I don't have any children, I don't even have a girlfriend.
If you don't know anything, stop talking. Truth told, you can dig up 15 - 25 hours a week for any hobby you damn well please, even with a wife and three kids. The kids go to bed at 8pm? Great, you and the spouse have ~3-4 hours to do what you want every day. Gives you at least 20 hours a week with the kids asleep! Hmm, also, on Saturdays and Sundays, the kids are playing with their toys collectively for ~3-4 hours while awake. Gives you and the spouse a total of 27 - 36 hours a week for hobbies. Say you want to spend mmmmmm half of it with the sig other. Gives you 14 - 18 hours a week to do whatever the hell, while you work a full time job, WHILE you spend every waking moment during the week with the kids! Meaning, your kids get ~30 hours of attention a week! Considering I read a study awhile back saying men spend less than an hour a day on average with their kids, I'd say even with a 20 hour a week hobby you could still come out way above the average.
People without children don't know what it means to be on a tight schedule.
You have got to be kidding me. Please, repost, saying that you aren't this fucking stupid. No one who has the capacity to type could possibly associate Bill and Adolf.
Urie needs another whack. I don't download mp3's, even though I have the cable modem. I don't steal anything. I buy what I want. I don't want some fuckhole telling me what I should spend my money on. I NEVER give money to the asshole if the nice guy is also available. Furthermore, I don't like the shit they're putting out for the most part. For the stuff I do like, I have never bought beyond the second album for any artist. Why? Because it sounds the SAME. I have my cd collection. It numbers around four hundred. Do the math, I'm too lazy. What it gathers up to is is this: I don't need any more music that sounds like what I already have. Fuck him and his attitude.
I have a feeling people like myself(twenties, earn a good salary, male, hate motherfuckers like him) are hurting his bottom line a whole hell of a lot more than a bunch of teen agers on their parent's DSL/cable modem.
Explain sight to the blind.
Explain sound to the deaf.
Explain intuitive leaps of any kind.
Not every concept maps to a clean explanation in a few simple words. That's why we have the different words. True, most concepts can be mapped somewhat to common language, but come on...give the guy a fucking break. We're talking about advanced mathematics.
You really have no sense of what the Y2K fiasco was really about, do you. No one with a real clue thought the world was going to end. The real issue, as it always is, is how safe is the money. Keeping the company's money safe was a good use of resources. I guess you need a job to know that...oh well.
spoken like someone who didn't have to fix legacy systems that handled credit card expiration dates and probably didn't do a fucking thing related to computers on the eve of Y2K.

We're going on a 5k run, fattie.
Try to keep up.
PUT DOWN THAT DAMN LAPTOP!
Well...actually, I was thinking of the steam that comes off my food.
You were really, really hunting for a way to insult someone today, weren't you, you asshole. This is about the application of a new technology in a convenient fashion. Go somewhere and masturbate some more, and keep your comments to yourself, assface.
Actually, the first thing I thought of was the inside of my microwave oven. Damn food splatters everywhere.
Insightful? Perhaps to yet another teenager...

You're blaming the wrong people....
It's not the HTML monkey's fault, its the supervising manager and the consultant web site designer's fault.
Well....at least you're 17. The rest of it is BS, of course.
....were....not was.

Try doing some research next time. The U.S.S.R. had more nukes for the last couple decades of the cold war.
Yeah....really empty. To the tune of $46 million dollars this last weekend empty.
Damn, quit busting on CommanderTaco already...jeez. Oh wait. nevermind.
Jesus Christ man! Give those of us at work some warning!
Who on earth thinks people still go for the extension? People should save their 300 bucks. Google's where it's at.
