Understanding Resume Styles
Perfecting the perfect resume style can be tricky. Many job seekers don’t really understand the ins and outs of resume creation and only think about their resumes when they are actively seeking other employment. Many recruiters agree that such an approach can actually leave your resume lacking in both style and content.
Living Resume Style
Do you have a living or non-living resume?
A living resume style is a document that is continually updated over the course of months or years. It isn’t simply updated when you are looking for a job. So if your employer gives you a new task or you learn a new skill, you would update your resume to reflect that. This resume style is ideal for a number of reasons.
First, it lets you get a clearer picture of where you may be headed in your career. You may begin to notice patterns and tendencies towards a particular job or field. Maybe you have always had a love for graphics or public speaking, but never realized it until you sit down with your resume.
Second, a living resume style will allow you to accurately document your skills. Writing your resume after a nasty fight with your boss isn’t the best way to approach things. Instead write your resume when you are clear headed and comfortably employed.
Past, Present, Future Resume Style
It is important to remember that a resume is about where you have been, where you are, and where you are going. Most job seekers focus on the present- but do little to discuss the past and future. To get the upper hand, you want to have a resume style that focuses on all aspects of your work including what you plan to do in the future. Remember, your resume is a work in progress and will never be finished.
Final thoughts on Resume Style
Last but not least, you want to keep abreast of what is happening in the world around you. The internet and online job applications have changed the way that many recruiters do business- so it is important that you have an online resume as part of your job seeking portfolio. Recent problems with viruses and spyware have lead many recruiters to stop accepting attachments, so you will want to become aware of the ins and outs of plain text resume formatting.

Securing Financing
- This is a short article that a friend of mine put together. He's a business banker and it seems that he would be the right person to put the info together. He compiled it for inclusion in a book about opening a pizza shop. There could be some useful info here -
In order for a bank to even consider financing for a business loan such as a pizza restaurant, the first step is to have good personal credit. If you have previous credit issues that have lowered your credit scores, make sure you are prepared to either hear, No, or Please explain this (these) credit marks. If you have not demonstrated the ability to manage your own personal finances then most likely you will not have the opportunity to manage the financing from a bank for a business. When you make the initial contact with a bank, ask to speak to a commercial loan officer.
Other types of loan officers include consumer (think car loans) and mortgage (think home purchases and home equity loans). The commercial loan officer will be able to provide a list of things you will need to give him/her in order to consider the restaurant financing. Information required for a new business most likely will include the following:
Personal financial statement (Assets Liabilities = Net Worth)
Personal tax returns (two years)
Business Plan
If leasing property, copy of the lease agreement
If purchasing property, copy of the sales contract
Personal History / Resume (may not be required but is very
helpful)
If an existing business, add the following to the list above:
Business tax returns (two years)
Copy of State Corporation Commission Certificate
Copy of Federal Tax Identification Number or Employer
Identification Number (EIN)
Copy of Articles of Incorporation (if corporation)
Copy of Operating Agreement (if partnership)
One common mistake a new business owner often makes with regard to financing is that one loan will cover all the financing needs. This is typically not the case and can lead to cash flow problems that could result in default on the loan, which is not what the lender or borrower want. In most cases, either two or sometimes three separate loans would be appropriate. For instance, if one is purchasing real estate then a long-term mortgage loan would be appropriate to finance that purchase.
However, the pizza restaurant may need to purchase equipment and have cash available monthly to meet payroll and purchase rolling inventory.
An equipment loan could take the form of a five or seven year loan with a fixed monthly payment much like a car loan. A line of credit, on which one would pay interest monthly on the outstanding balance, may be prudent for short-term cash flow purposes. All three should be addressed in the business plan and discussed with the commercial loan officer.
