For Louail and Lenormand, the network was the neighborhoods and the links between. Those links were formed via trips made by individuals as they spent money at businesses. Because Louail and Lenormand also had the amount of money being spent at the businesses, they could build a portrait of money flowing from one neighborhood to the other (or within a neighborhood)
It's so interesting that people can use data in this way to figure things like this out.
Ask a friend, family member or mentor to proofread your resume as a favor. Another person will be more objective in evaluating whether your resume makes sense.
Effective for long writings as well
Double-check little words: or and of and it and is often get interchanged.
This is something I always look for, but it's also helpful to install Grammarly.
Proofread your resume using a printed copy rather than relying on a screen. Our brains don’t read words on computers, cell phones, or other screens as deeply or with as much detail. Black ink can be easy to miss, so use a colored pen in order to see your marked changes easily.
Easily done, as I prefer to do things on paper anyway. (Kinesthetic learner).,
Before you begin proofreading, make sure you’ve chosen a clear and readable font. Calibri, Cambria, Garamond and Helvetica are several safe and stylish options. Do not use overly stylized fonts like Comic Sans, Brush Script or Papyrus.
Consistent with Year Up requirements, fonts should be professionally chosen
Edit when you are refreshed,
Good measure, because I usually finish an assignment, ABC check it on Microsoft Word and just turn it in.
Just remember, that when you’re feeling overwhelmed—and 20 rules can do that to you—that following these guidelines gives you a huge head start among all the other applicants.
This article is definitely something that I would come back and use when making a resume.
19. Think About the Specific Job You’re Applying ToOne of my favorite tricks to help communicate that you are the perfect person for a job is to read the job description and list out key phrases
People always say to do this and I never do, this has to be the third time I've heard this--so maybe I will now.
15. Use Your Judgement When it Comes to CreativitySome industries are more creative than others. If you’re working in digital media or design or elementary school education, it might make sense for your resume to be creative and colored. If you’re applying for a job in finance, operations, or most corporate jobs, you probably want to keep it black and white and structured. Be thoughtful when it comes to your creativity (or lack thereof).
I've always wondered about this because some templates are more fun looking than others.
For example, rather than saying “successfully hit sales quotas” as a bullet point in your resume you should say “successfully hit sales quotas 100% of the time and exceeded goals by 25% in the last 5 months.
I never knew this! I thought that I was adding enough context, but from the side of the interviewer, I can see why I should do it.
Make your life easier by using a template.
By FAR,v the easiest way to make sure you did it correctly.
While chronological the default, it’s not always the best way to make your case.
Another one that I never heard of, after reading the hyperlink, I guess it really does matter WHAT the resume is for.
5. Send Your Resume as a PDFSaving your resume as a PDF (rather than a Word and document) freezes it as an image so that you can be sure hiring managers see the same formatting as you. If you send it any other way, there’s a chance that the styling, format, font, and so on, could look different on their computer than yours.
This isn't something that I've heard of before, but it's absolutely worth doing. Formatting errors are annoying and sometimes hard to fix.
Watch Your Tenses
Not only this, but keeping the tenses consistent is something I always try to be conscious of, even in regular day-today talking.
remember the purpose of it—it’s not to showcase everything you’ve ever done, but rather to show that you have the background, skills, and experience for the job at hand.
This part stuck out to me because I often am one of the people who try to just list EVERYTHING I've ever done, and I need to remember WHY I'm making the resume.
