                            Are Hybrid Resumes Effective?

                                                    Angelica Smith, December 2013

 

 

 

                                    What are Hybrid Resumes? For several resume creation companies out there, the term 'hybrid resume' is being used to reflect the dual role that single resumes play.  These resumes are popular now because of the now extensive use of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) used by larger companies.  The functional point of having a hybrid resume is to have 'key words' injected throughout the resume to be captured by the ATS.  Although this may seem ideal, ATS software has recently been transitioning to keyword searches that are based within 'context'.  Having keywords injected is not enough.  When a resume is submitted online, the ATS parses the resume, basically breaking it down to its bare, unformatted, essence.  If you were to look at this resume you would think, "Yuk! This looks just awful! It killed my beautiful resume!".

I                                  Currently, I am working on connecting

                                   charity donations with each purchase made. 

If you have any ideas you would like to submit, please send it to my email.  My goal is to launch it by June, 2014.

 

Current charities I am interested in donating to are women and children shelters, a non-profit work training program, or an eco-conscious non-profit.  I really would like it to be all inclusive, where both men and women benefit from this.

                              Worried About Your Next Meal?

                              Angelica Smith, January 9, 2014

 

                              One in ten people goes hungry, without food in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.  So, if you are going through a rough time financially at the moment and wondering if there are others out there who are in this predicament, you are not alone.  I am happy to say that there is help out there with no strings attached...these services are community builders and are there to help.  Following is a list of services to contact if you need food right away.  A friend of mine who was a top sales engineer in Silicon Valley for many years found himself without a job and needing urgent help.  He hesitated asking for help because he was not used to reaching out.  I understood that it was hard, I have worked with many people who were in similar situations, and they were able to get back on their feet.  Always keep in mind that it is important to take care of oneself so that you have the strength to continue  moving forward.  So, if you are needing help, please do not hesitate from reaching out....it's okay...these organizations are there to help.

 

Below is a list of organizations that provide immediate assistance.  For some you may need to volunteer a few hours to then receive a grocery bag filled with fresh wholesome food, for others you are invited to help with the farming if you like, it's optional, or you can just pay as much as you can for a full bag of fresh food.
