Social Resume: How Job Seekers and Employers are Connecting Online

There’s no way around it…you need a resume to get a job. And it’s not just enough to list your job experience onto a Word document, plop your education information at the end, and email it to recruiters. For one thing recruiters are looking in all sorts of interesting places for the next great employees for their companies. Also, potential employees are impressing recruiters with their social resumes. Digital social resumes are a modern take on traditional resumes. While you definitely need to include your work experience and education on your social resume, you can expand the information you provide to prospective employers to include samples of work, pertinent links and more.

Convert Measurements in the Kitchen with This Handy Infografik

How many cups is a pint or a quart or a gallon? How many teaspoons is each? When you’re cooking and have to quickly convert kitchen measurements, a graphic chart like this is a great help. Sometimes you just don’t have the right measuring tool for the recipe you’re using. This “Common Cook’s How-Many Guide to Kitchen Conversions” from graphic designer Shannon Lattin (who brought us an essential vitamins reference guide) shows you what to do for those quick conversions. At first glance, it probably seems more confusing than a simple liquid conversion chart. But when you look at it more closely and if you print it out for posting on your kitchen wall, it’s pretty ingenious. The lines connect each measurement to their equivalent. (Note the + sign indicates an added measure to add. And, alas, there are no ounces here.) Source: Convert Measurements in the Kitchen with This Handy Infographic

Brand Fans – People have more brands as friends than ever on Facebook


Brand Fans – People have more brands as friends than ever on Facebook

We’re increasingly friending brands on Facebook—the average consumer has 29 brand friends on social networking sites, up from just seven a year ago. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re spending time with them. Less than half of us (39 percent) interact with brands regularly or all the time, with the rest doing so occasionally (33 percent) or hardly/never (28 percent), according to the latest edition of The Curve Report from NBCUniversal Integrated Media. Clearly, brands could stand to do more to keep consumers interested; the chief reason given by people who don’t engage with brands on social networks is that they only “like” brands to get a deal they’re offering.
