Reference Available Upon Request

Best answer:

Answer by Hire Me 101
As a hiring expert, I recommend you take out your bottom two jobs as they were pretty short and you want to look like you’ve had stable jobs. The first three are fine. And a few more job descriptions. 3 may be too short. Have 4-6 job descriptions.

You should rename your activities section as “Other Experience” and name your regular experience section as “Professional Experience”. Take out “References Available Upon Request” because you should already have your references on hand when meeting an employer.

All of my advice is very detailed on my website so find more tips here: http://www.hireme101.com/resumetips.html. I also only charge $ 7 to edit resumes, so my services could be useful for you.

Good luck

Answer by Christine
Well what was it you had in mind for a career when you chose a history major/ anthropology minor?

I would think being a part of Feed the children and Habitat for Humanity could get you into some sort of other field (along with your BA).
I would inflate that part of your resume and possibly cut back elsewhere.

Question by freestylefootballer: website Business help please?
Hi everyone, im thinking about starting a content based, affiliate marketing and ad space selling website business. while doing some research on this topic iv found some things im confused about and was wondering if you could help me out.

I was wondering what the advantages would be of me buying a actual website over simply opening up a word press website.

how important is search engine optimization for driving traffic toward my website/ word press

how much money will i need for start up?

should i make it a business (paperwork and what not) or is that not necessary?

is the auto responder programs all they are cracked up to be?

will i run into any problems because of my age (im 17)

any other advice you think i should know?

sorry about the length of this question and i appreciate all your answers

Best answer:

Answer by Bizsavings
While WordPress offers good tools, if you’re serious about starting a business I suggest that you get a website or use the Paid Version WordPress upgrade. Search optimization is critical to growing your website. For the rest of your questions, consider sites like the Discount Business Association that offer free trial websites, free auto responder programs and email marketing. Good Luck.

Nothing’s ever free in this world. Odds are it will ask you to complete “3 offers to proceed” or something like that, then sell your email address to lots of spamming companies.

Help please. Thanks in advance.

U don’t get a website, you get an affiliate link. It’s basically your website, but you can’t edit it or anything.

Answer by Just Curious
I highly doubt this is true. There has been no discussion of this anywhere and beings they want you to contact someone in Japan then what will happen is they will tell you they will send you a partial check from your winnings for you to pay the taxes with and when you get the check you are to cash it and money gram them the money. Which you will find the check in not legal, if it is a real check then the signature is fake or they will want your bank account number so they can transfer the funds directly into it. These scams are very common and are going around alot right now.
