It seems that everywhere we look people are falling out of employment into the unemployment line. Everyone starts out very optimistic, looking online for jobs, reformatting their resumes and calling up random companies from the phone book to see if they have any job openings.
This may seem a little outlandish, but depending on the field in which you find yourself, a resume can be something different from the usual Microsoft Word templates that are familiar to us all. I recall the scene in Legally Blonde, when Elle pulled out her pink resume that had been printed on scented paper.
Is that the way you should go? Probably not if you're applying to be a Construction Manager on a major construction project, but consider it if you're taking in your application to a beauty Salon.
You may consider using colorful children's blocks and teddy bears if your resume is going to a Kindergarten, or an AutoCad drawing of a building you designed in College (or designed recently) if you're applying to work for an Architect or engineer. Whatever your field is, if you are creative with your resume, it cannot harm your chances for employment in an economy as tough as this one and makes you stand out from the crowd.
Take a look at some of the samples I've found on the Internet.
If you are anything like me, interior decorating and design TV shows get my imagination racing! All the stuff that could be changed in my home for a few dollars and "poof" my drab decor will be transformed into a palace of unprecedented appeal!
Yes, my arms were in the air, rapture all over my face... until I remember I cannot afford it! I'm hoarding my cash y'all, this recession is for the dogs!
Then I found this website, My Deco 3D, where you can upload a floor plan of your house (or use one of the many floor plans they have available, and become your own decorator, trying the various tips and tricks that you've seen on TV.
Try it out. See if you like it. There is NOTHING to install, so your computer should be safe. Go on, give it a try!
My friend and I were reminiscing and ended up talking about the dreams we had as young girls. We both wanted to be in espionage. She wanted to be an assassin. I just wanted to be like all the cool characters in Robert Ludlum and Jeffery Archer's novels. There was never any question in my mind that I could do it and I walked around the house making small notes about stuff I noticed and things I'd seen.
So imagine my elation at finding this game on the internet! Think you can play along and be part of an elite group of assassins? Enjoy!
Jailed!
