That little sheet of paper that you send off to potential employers? Yeah, it isn’t your resume. Nowadays, your resume is the entirety of your web presence. To prove my point, let’s look at the original purpose of the resume.
CATHLEEN SLONE's curator insight, June 18, 2013 9:10 AM

Your resume is your homepage. All of your online profiles are a good way to showcase who you are! #innov8u #careers #resume #onlinepresence #socialmedia

Interesting and partially true.  Lots of our returning and disabled vets that we work with at www.globaltrainingfoundation.org don't even have basic computer skills, much less an online presence.  Nice article for the computer savvy.

Anthony Cyril Williams's curator insight, April 25, 2013 9:38 AM

There are a couple of ways you can approach creating page borders for an Excel printout, but none of them are automatic. One way is to create an image of your border using your favorite graphics program and save it as a JPG, PNG, or TIF file. (You could actually use several other image file formats, but these are ones typically supported by all the graphics programs.) In Excel you can then, within the header, insert the picture of the border. Format the picture to adjust the image size so it covers your whole page.

Ann Marie Hardin's curator insight, November 8, 2013 4:39 PM

Spefic to the "ribboned" versions of Excel.  Maybe I'll finally be able to find everything I used to be able to do.
