The bulk of employment hunters can only imagine what transpires with their resumes soon after they deliver them or hit the send button. Job seekers often imagine the employer is waiting anxiously to look at the job seekers’ carefully prepared resume writing and then reads the letter with passion. Today, the majority of resumes are obtained by computers. The computer systems scan the docs for the skill keywords programmed by the targeted firm. The top selected ones are forwarded to a specific individual and the balance are commonly forever lost in the deep dark digital binary code caves never ever to be known of again. Before being forever lost the next of kin is occasionally notified with a statement of rejection and condolences and sometimes they are not. When you hear nothing at all from a business after two or three weeks you are able to only hold a vigil for that resume and move on.
Should you compose performance declarations in your resume writing you really should qualify, quantify and communicate. Qualifying is defined as being certain the skills and abilities you showcase are ones that are very wanted to the prospective company. No matter how magnificent your accomplishment might possibly have been, if the skill exhibited is not what the company finds valuable you are throwing away your time. Quantify the performance by emphasizing the measurable significance. When what you did saved your previous employer capital tell just how much or the approximate cost savings. If what you did made money for the employer point out how much money. Point out how you achieved this and inject the skill you displayed by name. If you are utilizing lists add your best achievements and most significant abilities before anything else.
Build a listing of all of your education and qualifications to make them simpler to rearrange. Then seek the keywords in the opening advertisement and employ those to convey your qualifications. Next crank out the accomplishment declarations for everyone. Your resume writing really should give attention to the necessities and wants of every firm. Write the job title you are focusing on in your resume objective and cover letters. Imagine you are on the other side of the table searching for a person to choose. Do your claims and accomplishments sound desirable? They must convince the business that you are a job searcher they want to make an appointment with. As an alternative to only describing your past jobs in writing pertaining to responsibilities you ought to make the jobs come to life with your wonderful accomplishments.
Devote the time and efforts in resume writing that you would into a job if you were employed. Should you be aiming for jobs that you are qualified to do, rejection or no response from companies signifies you are doing something improper. Because your resume and cover letters are the only action you have taken with those firms that is where you have to focus on the something wrong. Hr people can just see what is in your resume writing and your resumes and cover letters have merely 1 purpose; to get you job interviews!





Nearly a year ago, I wrote a post titled “

There’s a scene in Iron Man 2 in which Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) shows off the mechanical soliders he has been working on — his would-be “Iron Man-killers”. Unfortunately, while they may look somewhat impressive, his machines malfunction and the demo goes horribly awry. His knock-offs are junk. This scene reminds me a lot of what the first Android phone, the G1, was like when compared to the iPhone. Luckily for Google, things have improved substantially since then — and without the help of a Russian Mickey Rourke. Well, presumably anyway.
We’ve already done a big,
Hardware
Having said that, I still prefer the build quality of the Nexus One (HTC-built) a bit more than the Nexus S (Samsung-built). Like the Windows Phone model I used (a Samsung Focus), the Nexus S feels a bit too plastic-y for my taste. It’s the same reason I liked the original iPhone design more than the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The plastic backs just feel cheap to me. And they’re awful to try to remove. It feels like I’m ripping the phone apart each time.
I am glad the Nexus S doesn’t feature that stupid ball that many Android phones (including the Nexus One) used to like to include. And the main feature of the device, the screen, is clearly nicer on the Nexus S versus the Nexus One. (Though the AMOLED display is still far too hard to read in sunlight, in my opinion.)
I’m not sure why the Nexus S feature a small nub that jets out of the back. I assume it’s for ergonomic reasons, but it seems pointless and looks silly, in my opinion.
The camera is great on the Nexus S. Not iPhone 4-great, but I’d say the second-best smartphone camera I’ve seen yet. Plus, the Nexus S also has a front-facing camera, something the Nexus One did not.
This is the fastest Android device I’ve used yet, but it’s not clear if that has more to do with the hardware specs (1 GHz Hummingbird processor) or because of Android 2.3. Scrolling seems smooth and I haven’t noticed any major lag aside from a few apps, which for now I’ll assume is more their own fault.
The touchscreen on the Nexus S also easily seems to be the best I’ve used on an Android phone so far. That has been one of the little things that the platform hasn’t been able to nail when compared to the iPhone. But here, they come very close. (Again, it’s hard to know if that’s the hardware or Android 2.3 in particular — likely a combination of the two.)
Sadly, perhaps the coolest hardware feature of the Nexus S, Near Field Communication (NFC), doesn’t have much use yet. But when it does, that could be huge for things like payments. Something tells me Apple might be deploying that feature as well in the future.
The few calls I’ve made on the Nexus S were rock solid. Unlike the iPhone, I didn’t experience any dropped calls, even when going indoors. Of course, the Nexus S is on T-Mobile while the iPhone is on that carrier that shall not be named. So it’s hard to compare the two.
The battery life of the Nexus S is pretty good, but not great. While it’s nowhere near
Software
And let’s talk about the Android 2.3 Gingerbread software. While we had heard this past Summer that that Android team was “
And then there’s the newest version of Google Maps. This is perhaps my favorite aspect of Android now. The latest version, which includes 3D buildings and the ability to spin maps around, runs loops around the iPhone version of Maps (which also uses Google Maps).
With the speed of Nexus S + Android 2.3, games seem to run more smoothly than ever on Android. I’ve tested out several popular games like Angry Birds, SliceIt, and Fruit Ninja, and all basically look and perform like they do on iOS. I will say that there is some lag though on games like Fruit Ninja for no apparent reason. Also in that game, it drives me insane when I swipe my finger across the screen and hit the soft home button on the Nexus S, dumping me out of the app.
A couple of the apps I use the most on my iPhone: Twitter and Foursquare, still lack to polish of their iOS counterparts. Twitter, even though
Intangibles
When Jason heard I was getting a Nexus S to try out, he (half) jokingly asked if I had already decided what I wouldn’t like about it. The truth is that I do try to go into using these devices with an open mind — but I also realize it’s an inherently biased one. I’ve been using the iPhone for well over three years now. I’m so accustomed to doing certain things on it that it is hard to try and do some things the “Android way”.
But I’m well aware of that. And I’ve logged plenty of Android hours. Sure, I’m more accustomed to the iPhone, but I could switch anytime I wanted to. But that’s the thing, I don’t want to. The iPhone experience is still overall a better one in my mind. It’s that simple.
Nexus S and Gingerbread continue the trend of Google improving Android as a steady pace, but they are still behind where Apple is with iOS 4.2 and the iPhone 4. This is true in both hardware and software. On paper, the devices line up nicely. In use, they still do not. As I said above, there are still too many small things that the iPhone nails that Android doesn’t even seem to think of at all. Google still seems more focused on getting the larger areas (like the Market) up to speed. Maybe that will change with Android 3.0 before the iPhone 5 hits, maybe it won’t.
Again, the Nexus S is a great device. And I would highly recommend it to any and all people who want an Android phone. One of the most striking things about it to me is just how much better it is than the crappy Android experience on devices like the EVO and Droid 2, compliments of the carriers.
In fact, it’s hard for me to believe that anyone would choose an Android device other than the Nexus S. Having a physical keyboard is the only excuse I can somewhat see. Maybe Verizon’s network — maybe. Otherwise, this is absolutely the one to get. Don’t buy the bullshit Verizon Droid marketing.
Droid doesn’t does. This does.
Well, it does against everything except the iPhone 4, of course. Maybe Russian Mickey Rourke can help with that.

I’ve been an Android fan for a while now, but I can’t remember the last time I had anything good to say about its integrated application marketplace, Android Market. Compared to the iPhone’s App Store, Market’s experience has always looked less visually compelling, and in general it’s been harder (and less fun) to navigate. Today, the Google team has
Google had originally wanted to launch the Nexus Two device alongside Android 2.3, the next release of their mobile operating system, also known as “Gingerbread”. That’s
