How to Format a Microsoft Word Resume Properly

How to Format a Microsoft Word Resume ProperlyIf you are looking for some assistance with your resume and it's formatting, perhaps this article is for you. In this article, I am going to explain how to format a Microsoft Word file properly.There are many reasons that you might want to format a Microsoft Word file yourself. If you need to make the formatting simple and easy to read, that is one reason. Many people do not like all the fonts and graphics that are put into Word. So if your resume needs to be made less of a mess, you might want to take a look at this article to see how to do it.The first thing you are going to need to do is open the document up in Word, either by right clicking on the document, or by choosing to open the document in Wordpad. Once you have opened it, and you are using Microsoft Word 2020, then it is time to open up your Font Guide from your Fonts menu.The Font Guide is also referred to as the Basic Font Guide and will come up when you select 'Format' from the File menu. From the font guide you can easily edit any font that you want to use, which is important because Word does not understand any external fonts, such as OpenType or TrueType. So in order to add these types of fonts, you will need to make an adjustment to the preferences.Next, you are going to want to go back to the document in Microsoft Word, choose the tab from the Format menu, and choose Change As Type. You are going to want to make sure that the font size is set to whatever the current font is set to, and then choose another font for the header. This will allow Word to make it easier to see the heading of the document, so you don't have to squint at the document to read it.In the last step, you are going to want to go back to the document and you are going to want to press the Alt-Tab button from the last page up, so that you can go back to the previous page of the document. In this final step, you are going to need to put a white space on the top of the heading, and for this, you are going to want to go back to the top of the document. Press Ctrl+O and you will be able to cut and paste the text into the opening heading of the document.In this way, you can remove the white space from the top of the heading and then move to the next part of the document. By doing this, you can format a Microsoft Word document more easily, and it will also make it easier for you to quickly edit the text and make it easier for your resume to be read.

Mark Zuckerberg and His Wife Priscilla Chan Are Worth $74 Billion. Heres How They Spend Their Money

Mark Zuckerberg and His Wife Priscilla Chan Are Worth $74 Billion. Here's How They Spend Their Money Mark Zuckerberg, the 33-year-old founder and CEO of Facebook, has a net worth of $74 billion and counting. He’s the fifth-richest person in the world, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, but it seems he doesn’t have a taste for opulence, especially when it comes to cars, clothes, and travel. As a member of the Giving Pledge and cofounder of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which he started with his wife and college sweetheart, Priscilla Chan, the Harvard dropout has dedicated much of his fortune to charitable causes. Keep reading to find out exactly how Zuckerberg and Chan spend their billions. In May 2012, eight years after its founding, Facebook debuted on the New York Stock Exchange. At the time, it was the biggest technology IPO in history. Each year since then, Zuckerberg has added an average of $9 billion to his net worth. NurPhotoâ€"NurPhoto via Getty Images Source: Fortune Despite his status as one of the richest tech moguls, the Harvard dropout leads a low-key lifestyle with his wife, Priscilla Chan, and their two young daughters. Like many other Silicon Valley stalwarts, Zuckerberg favors a uniform. Though casual in appearance, his signature gray T-shirts and hoodies are designed by luxury brands and are reportedly much more expensive than they look, retailing for hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Source: Business Insider, GQ Zuckerberg is known for driving relatively inexpensive cars. He’s been seen in an Acura TSX, a Volkswagen hatchback, and a Honda Fit, all of which are valued at or under $30,000. Bloombergâ€"Bloomberg via Getty Images Sources: Business Insider, CNBC There’s one thing Zuckerberg doesn’t seem to mind splurging on: real estate. In May 2011, he bought a 5,000-square-foot home â€" which he’s since tricked out with a “custom-made artificially intelligent assistant” â€" in Palo Alto for $7 million. The next year, he began buying the properties surrounding his home, spending more than $30 million to acquire four homes, with plans to level them and rebuild.

Zuckerberg said he and Chan bought the land because they’re “dedicated to preserving its natural beauty.” Education Imagesâ€"UIG via Getty Images Source: Business Insider, Forbes Zuckerberg doesn’t appear to travel much for pleasure. But when he does travel, Facebook foots the bill. Zuckerberg’s security detail and transportation cost the company nearly $5 million in 2015.

On his whirlwind tour, the CEO dined with a family at their home in Ohio, met with former opioid addicts, worked on an assembly line at a Ford factory, met with members of the military, and even fed a calf. Source: Business Insider Zuckerberg shared photos on Facebook of his experiences in America’s heartland, and he seemed right at home. Ultimately, opulence and luxury are just a blip on Zuckerberg’s radar. In fact, his main priority is giving his money away, rather than spending it. Zuckerberg is a member of the Giving Pledge, joining Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and over 100 other billionaires vowing to donate the majority their wealth to philanthropy. He plans to sell 99% of his Facebook shares during his lifetime. View this post on Instagram Thanks to Bill Gates for stopping by our Chan Zuckerberg Initiative announcement!

He plans to sell 35 to 75 million shares over the next 18 months, totaling between $6 billion and $12 billion.

Recruiters Expose the Social Media Red Flags Keeping You From Interviews

Recruiters Expose the Social Media Red Flags Keeping You From InterviewsIn the 21st century, its no surprise that the topic of social media and employers is one that comes up frequently. Many job seekers wondercan employers look at your social media? They sure can. But do they? They absolutely do. And why do employers check your social media? Its just a good way to assess you as a professional its also a good way to assess your judgment. Recruiters, hiring managersit doesnt matter who it is thats looking at your erreichbar profilesif youre job hunting, you want them to come away with a good impression.The overwhelming majority of recruiters research candidates on social networking sites at some point as part of a pre-employment hintergrund check or vetting. The majority of this research happens before the first interview as part of the screening process. Its also important to note that most recruiters are planning to invest more money into social and professional networks in an effor t to expand their companies, attract top talent, and research candidates thoroughly. So heres some job search adviceif youre in the middle of a job search, you may want to stop what youre doing and take a good, long look at your social media profiles before you continue applying for jobs. Recruiters and potential employers sure are. Even if you think you have strong privacy settings, you might want to assess your social media accounts. Dont assume anything is safe and secret on the interneta good rule of thumb for everything, not just job searching.Your resume and cover letter might be wonderful, hit all the right points, and portray the perfect professional image that you want to put forth as a job candidate. However, if an employer or recruiter types your name into Google and doesnt like your online presence, that perfect resume may soon mean next to nothing. Your online presence can, and does, affect hiring decisions. So dont miss out on your dream job because you wanted those li kes from last summers concert on your Instagram account. Are those likes more important than finding a job? Now that social media and professional networking sites have become an important factor in the hiring process, you need to know which red flags recruiters are searching for among job applicants and what they deem to be pertinent information about you on social media. Lets abflug with the red flags first.Social Media Red Flags That Cause Recruiters to Pass You Over for an InterviewWhat are the things that give you a poor online reputation in the eyes of recruiters? Among the red flags that make someone look like they would potentially be a poor employeeand might prevent an interview or job offer from happeningareMarijuana use 61%Political rants 51%Spelling/grammar errors 48% (My advice here is to get the Grammarly app because it will check your spelling and grammar as you type on social media platforms so you can catch any errors before posting.)Alcohol consumption 35%Showi ng off wealth / big purchases 19%Showing too much skin 16%Limited social presence 12%Posting selfies 7%Overall, I think the main theme is to consider being conservative with what you share via your social media accounts during your job search and up to twelve months prior to job searching. The reason I say twelve months is because the survey reveals that any substance use posted on accounts within the past twelve months is deemed a red flag by recruitersso it would appear that they could be researching and reviewing your social media posts or LinkedIn posts for the past year.Its interesting to note that marijuana use was down 10% from last year when 71% of recruiters reported it as one of the red flags they look for during social media monitoring. Attitudes around social media selfies have also relaxed since 2015 when 25% of recruiters viewed them as a negative sign when they showed up during a job applicants social media screening.What Do Recruiters View as Favorable Social Med ia Activity?You can use social media to improve your job search. Recruiters view the following positivelySamples of your written or design work (65%)including a portfolio or examples of your work on social media is a plus.Volunteering, mentoring, and getting involved in nonprofit work was also a positive sign according to 63% of recruiters.Plus, 35% of recruiters considered mutual connections to be a positive sign on social media.If youre in the middle of a job search or considering abfluging one within the next twelve months, now is the time to evaluate your social media profiles and start making changes. You do have a digital footprintand recruiters are out there searching for it. Dont delete everything you have on social media sites. That is a red flag in and of itselfit says you have something to hide. Social networks are part of our lives now, and youre expected to have some online presence. Just dont overdo it with the festivitt pictures.I would advise you to be conservative w ith what you post about your private life on social media platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, or others. You may believe that recruiters are only looking you up on LinkedIn, but this is not the case they will consider whatever they find on other platforms as part of the screening decision on whether to call you for an interview you or if they want to go ahead with hiring you. You dont need a strictly professional online presenceeveryone does have personal life, after allbut your online presence should reflect a mature, responsible person who is ready to take on the challenge of a new job.Clean up your online social profiles if you have questionable posts or content and start building a more professional social media footprint by sharing positive tidbits about your lifeyour work, your charitable efforts, and networkand make those common connections now before you need them. With a positive personal brand online, your career will benefit.In fact, once you have a more profess ional social media presence you might be surprisedopportunities may come your way, especially through LinkedIn.

Yet Dell employees are doing their part to make that dream a reality today.Through partnerships with charities and schools, Dell has provided affordable, 3D-printed limbs to children and adults with severe disabilities. With the help of Indian school children, the company has also developed wearable technology that can assist the blind with the kinds of day-to-day activities many of us take for granted.Humans teaching AI, AI teaching doctors.While the most famous examples of AI may include Jeopardy-playing robots and human-like machines in movies, the visionaries at Dell see yet another opportunity to create positive change through the technology.Dells research on machine learning has paved the way for their partner TGen to assist pediatric cancer doctors in finding better treatments for the disease. Machine brains arent like ours, and the experts at Dell understand that its more than just crunching numbers.Basically, by taking th e models humans have used for decades to learn from medical data and placing them in the hands of an adaptive AI, Dell researchers have made it so that childhood cancer doctors can learn from their mistakes and successes in way less time. That could save lives and reduce suffering for children across the globe.Powering the concerts of the future.When you think of the craziest live shows in recent musical history, Glitch Mob probably comes to mind.
