I just used The Google again.  This time I checked out the website for the bar that my lesson in bartending came from.  She has some decent experience and I was on the fence about interviewing her, but now I think I have to.

This coin declares Caesar is "Dictator for Life." He did serve as Dictator for the remainder of his life, but his life would end only a few weeks after this issue. For Caesar to put his image on coins and essentially declare himself king was too much for Brutus and his republican allies.

It's absolutely Brutal out there when trying to find an employment. Those of you with real full time jobs be thankful.

If you haven't been in the situation where times get tough people just don't get it. I went from owning my own business to not being able to get a job doing dishes. The icing on the cake was I was unable to collect unemployment because I didn't put myself on the payroll. My business was struggling so I made the decision to sacrifice and not pay myself unless I absolutely needed to in the form of a draw. Anyways...I can't even find a job working as many hours for the same amount of pay as I had people working for me.

Paul I may take you up on that resume critique! It can't hurt my cause and my pride has been temporarily tossed out the window.

It also gets tough afterawhile looking for so long and not getting any responses to resumes. Then you get an occassional an interview and don't get the job. It can wear on you after so long.

People who haven't been in a similiar situation don't understand. Right now business is still hurting and there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel in terms of growth.

Be nice ya'll. It's effin' Brutal out there!

I hear you Ultima.  While I started this thread to poke fun at gaffe's in some of the resumes I am looking at, I have nothing but respect for people out there looking for work, and I mean no disprespect by it. 

@ Mass, I knew them well.  The big metal letter covered ball that would spin and whack an ink ribbon against the paper.  The nicer ones had a correction ribbon.  I used to type faster than I do now.  I took the bar exam on a typewriter.  My hand writing is so bad if I had written it with a pen I would still be a paralegal.

Proficient with 'The Google'?  Snap that one up...she's a keeper.

I'm not sure which is funnier: The actual resume lines or Paul's snark.  'Bridge with my grandmother', indeed.
