    Is the option to change your skin somewhere on this page?

    Mine's in the bottom left corner.

    Yes--I'm unsure what this has to do with answering a message?

    It would seem that we're using the same skin, I think, anyway...

    With that skin, I'm able to see all of my messages.

    Here's another thought though. Try clicking on your name in this thread and then View Public Profile. You should see it a different way then just going to My Profile.

    I've just attached a document. Can you open it?

    Attachment 30953

    The idea is to be able to work on, and attach to posts, what you'll really submit to offices without your personal information showing up when people use a search engine.

    NO, that does not work. Why would I post my personal information?
  • May 17, 2010, 01:05 AM
    Clough
    You would post it in an attachment so that I can review how it looks. That's all. You wouldn't need to put your personal information in it. But, it would be good to see if the name and address of whomever you're sending it to is correct. As well as checking all other formatting and spelling.

    Whatever's on the attachment wouldn't be visible on this thread. Someone would need to click on the attachment and have the correct program in order to read what's on the attachment.

    Well, if you couldn't open it, then it looks like you don't have Excel. It might work in another format, though.

    Definitely got to get to bed here!

    Later...

    Good Night, Momma!

    LOL, I already told you I don't have Excel. Thanks for the format. I can check addresses and spelling myself. Thank you.

    You didn't think that you had Excel, so I wasn't sure you did or not.

    What I wrote as a format for you was but one example. And, I also wrote that it would need to be "tweeked".

    Spacing between lines and paragraphs, centering of certain parts and the overall appearance of the proposal and your resume is also important.

    There are good and not so good of ways concerning the formatting of the appearance of documents.

    Well yeah, I just need the format so that I can plug things in and tweek it.

    Id like to add something at this point. I wouldn't send any resume out to clients. You don't need to and you would be cheapening yourself by doing so. Your best line is to sound super positive and make sure you can follow up on anything claimed. The proposal is like a contract. So really you need to get your foot in the door first to start the relationship.

    The strength of a resume can also be something that "nails" a person getting a job, especially if it holds verifiable information as to having successfully done a certain type of job.

    The problem I have is that this isn't really for a job. Its more inline with contract labor. And having been through a simaler situation I have seen the outcomes of both. The idea is to stress experience and confidence without showing all your cards. That way you can be flexible in negotiations with a customer. Each one is going to be unique and you need to set yourself apart from the crowd.

    Thank you for the further explanation concerning that, califdadof3!

    Now, I know more of why you answered the way that you did in the first place.

    Thanks for all the info guys. It's all really helpful. I didn't even think about sending out my resume, but now I will know not to unless asked for it.
