The Appearance of a Professional Resume

So you are looking for a job and like hundreds others you also have your resume ready. The main appearance of a particular resume really matters and in this article we shall discuss some of these related points. In general the complete appearance of the resume assumes much importance.


Impactful Interviewing - Don't Make Assumptions

This is a good piece of advice to follow in life, but it also has a special place in an interview setting. You want to be viewed as someone who understands what is necessary and can deliver the expected results - more than just in the interview room - and making assumptions will not guarantee you will be viewed like this.


Gas Prices Down, Driving Back Up?

Come on, you must have noticed. When prices went up there was just less traffic on the road... less crowding on the freeways. Even during rush hour the drive home (on the days you drove in) just wasnò€™t so bad. The hit to peopleò€™s wallet was enough to make people change their behaviors.

This was great for the environment. We all know that exchanging your old-fashioned light-bulbs with electric light-bulbs, or even driving a Prius, just reduces the energy you consume. But telecommuting, and other methods to actually avoid driving your car, are by far the absolute biggest ways for an individual to really help the environment.

But then the gas prices started to drop. Now, Iò€™m hoping some people were so thrilled by the joys of telecommuting that they kept it up regardless. But I know that some people saw the costs go down and hopped right back on the freeway again. And I think this is a real shame. Although we all intellectually understand the dangers of global warming (I hope), and have the best of intentions to do our bit for the environment, the reality is, it can be hard to do the right thing.

But money is a much bigger motivator. When it hits our personal budget, weò€™ll do much more, go much further, make much greater sacrifices to save a few dollars. When these changes we make benefit the environment, all the better.

So now Iò€™m going to say something that may shock or bother many of you.

I actually hope gas prices go up again. Donò€™t get me wrong, I donò€™t like the high prices any more than the next guy. I have 2 small children along with the pre-requisite mini-van and Iò€™ll tell you that filling that beast up at the pumps can cost me an arm and a leg when prices are high. But I know when prices are up, more people are taking actions that are good for the environment.

So if you were telecommuting when prices were up, donò€™t stop when they go down. If you found some inconveniences to telecommuting or some aspects of your work or interactions with your boss and co-workers were a bit more challenging, thereò€™s many ways to overcome these. Take a few minutes to do a little research ò€“ youò€™ll find plenty of tips and tools out there to help you. Make the effort and keep telecommuting. Itò€™s good for your wallet, and itò€™s good for the environment!
