Question:
i am still looking for an example document that used the resume style for
latex and executive orders ?
Answer:
-I think there is a file resume-sample.tex in the directory with resume.sty
-The president has always been able to issue executive orders, as he
heads the executive branch of government, and executive orders are
orders to that branch. If you look at the Messages and Papers of the
Presidents series, edited by Richardson, which contains the official
messages of the presidents from Washington through, you
will find that every president we have ever had has issued executive
orders.
-I'm not advocating tossing a resume because it has a typo on it. I
don't think I ever stated that, and I'm curious as to how I've been
labeled such a stickler on this list under this thread.
The fact is, a resume is not a document to be taken lightly. As a
candidate, it's your foot in the door if you don't have a connection
to use. You should ensure it's perfect for the position you're
applying for in every way possible.
I will not toss a resume for a typo. I will not toss a resume for
layout I deem less than attractive. I WILL toss a resume in which
technologies are misspelled or misused. An example would be "Quark
Express" (round-filed that resume) or "I delivered documentation in
print, PDF, and RoboHelp" (round-filed that resume too).
These are real-world examples. I paraphrased the second example from
memory, but it was on a resume I have received in the past.
On a humorous note, I received a resume that had "VoIP" listed as a
programming language they were proficient in.
Now, the VoIP example is extreme, but it's not uncommon for me to
recieve resumes in which the "Quark Express" and "RoboHelp" scenarios
are present. Do I want to hire someone who doesn't know how to spell
the name of a tool they use? Do I want to hire someone who thinks
RoboHelp is an output format?
No, I don't. THIS is what I will discard a resume for. Not a simple
typo or poor choice of formatting (though the typos and formatting
errors will send your resume down the stack from the top).
