Resume Deli

Always a good idea. You’re able to travel light–you don’t have to carry a briefcase, tattered manila folder (never a good look) or fold up the hard copy calendar and keep it in your pocket. Plus, you can make changes a lot easier than having to constantly erase entries as they change (again, never a good look). Full disclosure–I own a Droid.

you make excellent points about the toll our society takes on reluctant blackberry adopters. sometimes i just stare at that blinking red light and think wistfully about my old ibm electric typewriter. i suppose those were demonized in their day too, by old timers unwilling to give up their remingtons. ah, the march of progress.

Not all of us wear ties nFunny stuff though! Keep writing.

Eliza makes a good point…Bill Jenkins could easily have been Belinda Jenkins. I promise to spoof men and women equally in my next post. (Thanks for reading)

It may be good advice for those pursuing a professional career; but remember, that’s not everyone. I don’t think a person applying to be a waiter or date entry clerk would, or should, need all the conspicuous-consumer gadgets that the electronics industry is forever enticing us to buy. I also don’t have cable. Or a blackberry. I don’t even have a cel-phone. Why? Because they’re unnecessary, expensive items for me to have. Cel-phones don’t even have the same characteristic of quality that a land-line phone does. And as you admit, the majority of what’s on cable TV is garbage.nToo many people today are expected to conform to the demands of parasitic Capitalists.nI, for one, will keep on saying ‘NO!’

This is a great story.

Creating a resume for a recent college grad is very tough. A – because they lack experience which other job seekers may have if applying to the same position. B – underskilled candidates tend to think their non-relevant work experience in a completely different field can be highlighted somehow. Other than pulling out transferable skills and showing them at the top of a resume, there is not much you can do about that. C – it takes a lot more thinking power to formulate a strong approach for someone who lacks skills and sometimes even education in a particular field compared to other candidates.
