What Employers Look For.

What employers are looking for in my resume are the skills I obtain, and what experience I have in past jobs. They also look for how well my resume is written, because if there are mistakes they will just throw away my resume. I have to make sure my resume is perfect and that I have all the necessary information to get the job I am applying for.

Correct Answers to the Test

Here are the correct answers for the quiz.

#19. The correct answer to number 19 is b. 1,300. I know this because if you do the correct math you should come up with 1,300 and not 10,000 like I had done before.

#31. The answer to number 31 is f. how. I know this now because I didn’t look at all my chooses and also because in our 5WH there is no Which.

#36. The correct answer for number 36 is: Fair Use is material that is public domain. You cannot be in violation of copyright infringement when using the material that is fair use. You can check that be taking the quiz on the copyright website that we took a look at. The reason I didn’t get this question correct is that I had forgotten what fair use was.

My Resume and Why it is the Best

To make my resume stand out from the rest of the class, I am going to personalize it and put who I am into it and not some fake made up person. I am going to make it as perfect as I can get it and use relevant information in it.

Research of a Resume

Well I didn't do a whole lot of research about resumes, but mostly just looked at resume formats. What little I found out about resumes is that they need to include your previous jobs and what position you held at those jobs. Also what position you would like to have at the job your applying for. I feel what will help me the most is looking at other peoples work and how they conducted their resumes. I do better when I can see what in need to do, it just helps me learn better.

Fix the Cover Letter Opening

 I think that my cover letter opening was OK, but not fantastic or glamourous. So I went back and changed the first sentence of my cover letter, but not the rest. Because I thought that the rest of the first paragraph pretty well written.

A Good Cover Letter

To create a good and professional cover letter you need to first set it up correctly and make sure it looks good and not sloppy. Then you need to say why you want the job and why you are the person for the job. After that tell what experience you have and tell a little about yourself. Make them want to read your resume and give them what they are looking for.

Word

Word applications can help you create cover letters, resume, essays, a sincere letter to your dear grandma, and layouts. It is important to create digital representations of these documents, because if something were to happen to the copy you made (like getting it torn up by your dog, or something else) you could go back to your computer and copy another one just like it without having to rewrite any of it.

What is copyright? How do we know?

Copyright is some piece of work that has been created and can not be duplicated by someone else and be sold as their own work. To check if we can use the material, we first need to know what we are using it for. Are we using it for research, is it educational, and is the work we are using copyrighted already.

Cover Letter

 A cover letter is a paper that has your credentials, accomplishments, and past work places. It goes on top of your resume and just explains what you are looking to do in the business and how you can contribute to the business and make it a better than it has been before. It is sort of an over view of your resume, that is to the point and not as lengthy as your resume.

Copyright Infringement

The case I found and read about was the Righthaven LLC vs. Las Vegas-Journal and the Denver Post. Righthaven is saying that the Las Vegas and Denver Post displayed on their websites material from his Realty One business newspapers without asking for authorization from Righthaven. In October, the litigation was put back when the U.S District Judge Larry Hicks in Reno, because he  dismissed Las Vegas- Journal from the lawsuit. Then on Feb.8 the clerk of the court said that he/she would enter judgement in favor of all three of the people involved with the lawsuit. The lawsuit then again has been postponed until further investigation of the copyright infringement. The scheduled date has been set for early october and the case should be closed.

What I have learned about copyright

What I have learned about copyright for desktop publishing, is that you have to reword what you create if it is someone else's. Otherwise you can become sued for using someone else's work and claiming it as your own.
 I have used Word for writing papers, such as essays, biography's, and other school related topics. But have not used it for much more than that. I think I will have a lot of learning to do and hope it will enlighten me about how to use it correctly.

Public Domain.

Public Domain includes songs, books, movies, legislation and much more, that can be used by others freely. In 1923 anything that was published for the people was public domain. But then in 1976, they

passed the Copyright Act, which gave anything created protection from copyright. Making a big task because the rules always changed for public domain. Right now The Center for the Public Domain is trying to protect public domain and its future ahead.

Copyright

What I believe copyright is, is whatever someone else has come up with in writing is off filaments. Meaning that you may not copy anything they have written without rewording it in your own way. If you do not reword it and write it off as your own, you can get arrested and put in jail.

What I have learned.

What I have learned from these projects so far, is you have to catch people's eyes and get them to notice your business or product. I have also learned that you have to be confident in what your selling. Because if your not, customers won't want to buy your product because they see that your not confident in what you are selling.
