Anyone know of a good website with info on resumes and cover letters? I need to spruce mine up for a job that I REALLY REALLY want.

~~TWILIGHT~~

twilight.. give me a break... you're a college grad, don't tell me you're THAT stupid that you don't know what i'm talking about. if you need help figuring out what i mean, look at your sig. (hint: it begins with a "s" and ends with a "t".)

Excuse me, but since when have you met me, and talked with me to know what I am and am not? The internet ain't a reality darlin'.

darlin? hahaha.. well, thankfully, i haven't met you. but if the internet isn't a reality, then should i assume that everything you say is a lie? i'm sure you do exaggerate, but still. i base my opinions about you on facts, which come directly from what you type here. oh, and another thing, if its not a reality, why do you constantly meet guys from it?

and btw... you're great at thinking of good comebacks.. :rolleyes:

Constantly meet guys from it? Where are you getting your information? Last time I met a guy from the internet was several years ago.

p.s. I happen to know that plans are in the works for you to meet a guy from G|A... or at least that's what HE says. :eek: :laugh:

i think i know who you're talking about. but there are no plans. i have no need to meet someone of the internet. i have a boyfriend with whom i'm very happy. if i ever were to meet someone, it wouldnt be for the same reasons that you would.

How can you know who I'm talking about, yet deny plans?

if i ever were to meet someone, it wouldnt be for the same reasons that you would.
What would be my reasons for meeting someone from the internet? I'm really interested to know how you have come into my mind and read my thoughts.

knowing who you're taking about does not have anything to do with "plans." i know who you're talking about because a meeting has been mentioned in passing before with this person. but no plans were ever made. it was something superficial like he was going to be in the area for some reason or the other and i was like "oh, if you're here, maybe we can meet up or whatever." or something like that. i dont really remember since i haven't talk to the person in months.

but like i said before, you've said a bunch of crap about meeting people. like the guys from oregon thread.

Twilight

My "any guys from oregon" thread said "...wanna meet for a drink? I'm so incredibly bored!" How does that make me a slut? How is meeting someone from the 'net for drinks different than running into a complete stranger in a bar and having drinks with them? If you're not open to meeting new people then you're severely sheltered. I feel sorry for you.

well i feel sorry for you that the only guys you can meet are from GA. and women that go to bars are usually looking for more than just a drink. plus, anyone who has a drink with a complete stranger is dumb. twilight, the nude pics are clear evidence that you are indeed looking for more than a drink.

and about the resume.. any moron can put together a good one. you obviously exaggerate a lot, so it should be easy for you. but if you're still having trouble, you can always do a search on google. its not rocket science. :rolleyes:

your arguments are so easy to pick apart that fighting with you has become quite a bore. :yawn: so consider this my last message. i can't believe the amount of time i've wasted.

ladies, ladies, settle down... its ok.

And to answer your question twilight, like a couple weeks ago i saw this thing on msn.com about writing resumes. Sorry i dont know how to find it or ne thing but its a thought. But id first go with tuvi on the google thing. Hope you get your job...

I'm placin my bet on TUVI on this one. I must admit that Oregon thread was a bit erm..tawdry. I also agree with her on the whole fact that if you are a college grad you SHOULD know how to write a resume by now, and preferably one that is going to make you sound intelligent. Unlike some of the posts I've read by certain people in which they do portray themselves as a bit..erm..promiscuous..NO NAMES MENTIONED to protect the innocent. I don't believe the word "slut" ACTUALLY came out of Tuvi's 'hand(mouth)' in this thread twilight, but instead You are the one refering to yourself as one. You do realize there are many other words that begin with S and end in T. Saint being one of them.(of which I am the biggest). And while it isnt unusual for people to meet from being online, what business is it of yours or anyone else's (unless they want it publicized) that they are indeed meeting someone from IRC. Even if Tuvi(or anyone else for that fact) IS going to meet someone from G|A or from anywhere else on the WWW,that does not make it right for you to make an issue out of it. And please, I'm an old lady who has been around the block a few times, so don't try to fire off some witty response trying to drag others down cause simply put-that just sucks. That is my opinion, and since you put this matter up for debate in a public forum, I felt I had a right to comment. Thank you and good day.

Who said that the only guys I can meet are from G|A? I haven't met ANY guys from G|A.

You are nuts girl... have you ever been in a bar? Are you old enough? Perhaps one day you'll learn that meeting new people in party atmosphere can be fun.

Who said anything about nude pics?

I never said I had problems putting together a resume and cover letter, I said I was seeking to spruce mine up. That means I'm looking for different formats to make my resume more stylish, and advice on making my cover letter more exciting. I don't need any exaggeration on my resume.. I'm not sure how I could tell lies that are better than my work experience (Seattle Times, Oregonian, Associated Press).

Tuvi is the one criticizing me for supposidly meeting people from G|A. I really have no problem meeting people from online. I threw it in her face because she shouldn't be running around telling others what not to do and then doing it herself.

p.s. When your mommy told you not to talk to strangers, she probably meant not until you're 10. How old are you?

There is no reason that I can think of as to why ANYONE would care who Tuvi is meeting. You on the other hand present quite an impression of yourself to everyone and if you were my daughter I'd take your keyboard away.

Haha.. that's quite hilarious. However... TUVI IS THE ONE WHO WAS CRITICIZING FOR MEETING ON THE NET - WHY ARE YOU FAULTING ME???
