Resume Magic: Trade Secrets of a Professional Resume Writer

When was the last time you had to write a resume?

You never know when you may find yourself in a situation where you may need to produce your resume at a moment’s notice. Web Watch recommends that once a year, you take out your existing resume and update it with the past 12 months-worth of accomplishments, while your most recent job review is fresh in your mind.

It won’t hurt, and then you have it ready on the off-chance that a recruiter calls you with “The Most Ultimate Job Opportunity Ever… if I can have your resume in my hands by 3:00pm today…”

Adopting? Try a “pregnancy” photo gallery

Deluxe Belly Cast & Bold Decorating Kit

Everywhere you look there are pictures of smug pregnant women.

Women who are thrilled with being pregnant, proud to show off their baby-oven – whether it be with belly casts or pumpkin paint.

And there’s nothing wrong with this. Many articles have been written about how some women become more beautiful to their spouses when they’re pregnant. How pregnancy only enhances her looks as she changes from “woman” to “mother”.

But there shouldn’t be a double-standard on this.

You’d be surprised that the $2k number holds up, even in today’s retail environment where a decent home computer can be had for around $500. Note that we said that this was a computer ideal for a computer nerd, not just any machine that would get somebody through the next two years of English class at the local university.

Many years ago, Web Watch told you about a girl who figured out that it was mathematically possible to FOLD A SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER OVER ON ITSELF 12 TIMES.

The long-held reasoning was that it was physically impossible to fold a piece of paper in half more than eight times, but Britney Gallivan proved that paper could be folded over 12 times.
