Resume wrting ...
With employers receiving hundreds of resumes, today's resume writing requires that you catch an employer's attention within a glance. Resume writing is critical in controlling the image you present to employers. Given below are some helpful tips in drafting a resume.
Resume Essentials
Before you write, take time to do a self-assessment on paper. Outline your skills and abilities as well as your work experience and extracurricular activities. This will make it easier to prepare a thorough resume.
The Content of Your Resume
Name, address, telephone, e-mail address, web site address All your contact information should go at the top of your resume.
:: Avoid nicknames
:: Use a permanent address where you wish to be contacted
:: Include a telephone number where you can be contacted and include the area code
:: Add your e-mail address. Many employers will find it useful
:: Include your web site address only if the web page reflects your professional ambitions
Objective or Summary
An objective tells potential employers the sort of work you're hoping to do.
:: Be specific about the job you want. For example: To obtain an entry-level position within a financial institution requiring strong analytical and organizational skills
:: Tailor your objective to each employer you target/every job you seek
Education
New graduates without a lot of work experience should list their educational information first. Alumni can list it after the work experience section.
:: Your most recent educational information is listed first
:: Include your degree (A.S., B.S., B.A., etc.), major, institution attended, minor/concentration
:: Add your grade point average (GPA)
:: Mention academic honors
:: Differenciate Degrees / Diploma's
Work Experience
Briefly give the employer an overview of work that has taught you skills. Include your work experience in reverse chronological order-that is, put your last job first and work backward to your first, relevant job.
Include:
:: Title of position
:: Name of organization
:: Location of work (town, state)
:: Dates of employment
:: Describe your work responsibilities with emphasis on specific skills and achievements.
Project Details
Do not hesitate writing your project details as this area reflects to hands on experience. So mention the technolgies that are used for implementation.
Include:
:: Project Name Client Team Size Duration Project Description Role / Responsibilities / KRAs Designation in Project
:: Technologies used in Project
Other information
As additional information in your resume you may want to add:
:: Key or special skills or competencies
:: Leadership experience in volunteer organizations
:: Participation in sport
References
Ask people if they are willing to serve as references before you give their names to a potential employer. Do not include your reference information on your resume. You may note at the bottom of your resume: "References furnished on request."
Resume Checkup
You've written your resume. It's time to review it. You should take the following steps to ensure quality:
Content
:: Run a spell check on your computer before sending it across
:: Do a grammar review before sending it across
:: Ask another friend to proofread. The more people who see your resume, the more likely that misspelled words and awkward phrases will be seen (and corrected)
Design
These tips will make your resume easier to read and/or scan into an employer's database:
:: Use white or off-white paper
:: Print on one side of the paper
:: Use a font size of 10 to 12 points
:: Use nondecorative typefaces
:: Choose one typeface and stick to it
:: Avoid italics, script, and underlined words
:: Do not use horizontal or vertical lines, graphics, or shading
First Steps in Dealing With a Stolen Credit Card By Joe Farinaccio
If you're faced with handling the issue of a stolen credit card then you have to assume somebody is going to try and use the account. Call up the creditor immediately. You'll probably be advised to close that account number and replace it with a new one.
But doing only this may not be enough. Why? Because the thief may try and use your account number with other personal information of yours to tap, or alter, other accounts you have with them.
You can place a fraud alert on all accounts with that credit institution. If you have usernames and passwords for these accounts then update them. (Avoid using common usernames and passwords that include things such as your social security number, mother's maiden name, child's name or other family member's name.
As a general rule, establishing a password for your bank & financial accounts is a good thing. It's often possible to formally request that a password be required in for any action to take place with your accounts -- such as a withdrawals, name/address changes, billing information disclosures, etc.
Request that the institution call you whenever anyone tries to apply for credit in your name. This credit alert might say something like, "Please contact me immediately at this phone number before issuing any new credit. All credit applications must be validated and personally authorized by me."
You want to monitor the activity in all your financial accounts, especially withdrawals. Report any unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity to the security department of your financial institution immediately if any issues arise.
Go ahead and file a police report too. You may not want to do this. After all, it's just one credit card, right?
Wrong.
If you do find yourself having to purge your credit profile of fraudulent accounts then you're going to have to "prove" these accounts weren't really yours to begin with. This is where a police report comes in handy.
Just know that when it comes to identity theft, both creditors and credit reporting agencies want to see accounts you identify as being fraudulent on a police report.
Vigilance must be maintained. And unfortunately, one can never rest assured they're 100% in the clear when it comes to preventing identity theft. Many gaps and holes exist in the system allowing people to be victimized. But doing your part may prevent a stolen credit card situation from becoming a full-blown identity theft nightmare.
