What To Look For In A Free Printable Resume Builder
What To Look For In A Free Printable Resume BuilderWhen you are looking for free printable resume builder, it is important to choose the right one. It should be both affordable and easy to use. A good free resume builder will have plenty of features, but you may want to pick one that has more features if you know you will need a few in the future. In this article, we will help you find the best free resume builder.First, what is a free resume builder? Basically, it is a tool to create a custom resume that can be used as a template. This can be used by companies who cannot afford to hire an employee. It is also a tool that can be used by people to create their own customized resume.By using a simple resume, you save money and time, while creating a well-written and professional resume. Since you are using a free resume builder, you do not have to worry about using words or ideas that your employer may not understand. It is easy to edit the resume after you are done with it, and create more documents to use as part of your resume. You can also save yourself some money by creating a printable resume and a portfolio to show employers.The biggest problem with a free resume builder is that they are usually out of date after a few months. For example, the Google tool will show you a number of different resume templates. As you go back and edit the templates, you may find a dozen more you wish to use. Once you start using the Google tool, it becomes difficult to get past the Google page rank.Another problem with the free resume builder is that you may get a lot of strange comments and emails from other people, asking you to delete certain entries. You may have to read and decide which comments you want to keep. Your editor will be able to approve your changes, or let you know how they feel about the submissions. The other problem with a free resume builder is that it does not allow you to post links. However, some free tools offer you the option to post links.When you go online to find a printable resume builder, make sure it has all the features you need. In order to find out which free tool will best suit your needs, do a little research. For example, a free tool may have an impressive number of pages, but may only be compatible with Microsoft Word. If you want to use MS Word, you will have to pay a small fee to get a program to use MS Word.Keep in mind, a free printable resume builder does not necessarily mean it is worthless. There are many free tools out there that will allow you to create a resume using any software you already have. A good free resume builder can allow you to save a lot of time and money, while creating a custom resume that is very professional. Just remember to keep it simple and professional.

Retirement Plan for Millennials Not Just Working Forever
Retirement Plan for Millennials Not Just 'Working Forever' Wall Street and the financial press have been harping for decades on the retirement savings crisis. But it seems that for some young people the wrong message is getting through. A large group of millennials have decided to punt on retirement altogether: One in eight plan to work until they die, according to Manpower Group. Some young workers simply feel they have no choice: According to Merrill Edge, one in five say they would need to win the lottery to retire and, partly because they have little faith in Social Security, 83% plan to work in at least some of their retirement years. Working past a traditional retirement age in your mid-60s may indeed be a financial imperative. Just donât assume that means you can go light on saving in a 401(k) or other accounts. That is a misguided and dangerous conclusion. The reality is that many people are forced to leave the workforce before they would like. Three in 10 retirees quit work sooner than expected, Transamerica found. A quarter of those were forced to quit for health reasons and 11% quit to deal with family responsibilities. Two-thirds quit for employment-related reasons, including job elimination. Half of Americans wind up retiring between ages 61 and 65. So even if you plan or want to work into your 80s, say, you may not be able. If thatâs the case, you will look back to your 20s and 30s and wish you had been saving more diligently. Thatâs not to say that millennials arenât saving for retirement, even while many of them are saddled with college loans. The average millennial began saving at age 22, remarkably young, and is more likely than a Gen Xer or boomer to consider a company 401(k) plan his or her most valuable benefit. Yet even those who are saving are not saving nearly enough. The average young worker is saving just 6% of pay, according to a report from BlackRock. That same report concludes that they need to save 25% of pay in what is likely to be a slow economy for decades to come, if they want to retire at 65. Other reports reach only slightly more optimistic conclusions. Part of the problem is that millennials generally distrust the financial community and take their cues from poor role models. Generally lacking financial know-how, a third of millennials rely most on financial advice from friends and family, according to Fisher Investments. In a Fisher survey, four of five millennials flunked a 401(k)-plan quiz. Overwhelmed by the oppressive 25%-of-income saving target that BlackRock recommends? Then aim at least for 15%, which will give you a solid cushion and may prove enough to quit at 70 or 72. Besides, even if you are fortunate enough to be able to work as long as you want, you may find that 40 years from now you will have changed your mind and wouldnât mind calling it quitsâ"or at least downshifting to a less demanding job. You may even want to try starting your own company. You canât know how you will feel four decades from now. By saving along the way you will build insurance against involuntary job loss and create flexibility to change your mind.

Female Engineer Designs Buildings Throughout Her City - Work It Daily
Female Engineer Designs Buildings Throughout Her City - Work It Daily In this career interview, an engineer shares what she has learned thus far in her 10 years in this career. If you have considered a career as an engineer, read on to learn the good, the bad, and the ugly of this woman's experiences. This is a true career interview as told to LatPro.com. This is one of many interviews with individuals in the engineering or manufacturing fields including interviews with a civil engineer and with an efficiency expert. I am currently an engineer with a local business in my city. I help to design buildings and stores. I have been in this field for about 10 years. Three words to describe myself would be unique, outgoing, and realistic. Being a white female has been a bit of an obstacle to overcome. Men who I work with sometimes donât think I have the greatest ideas, but I just have to show them that I can design something that is similar or even better than them. I havenât really been discriminated against, but I have felt ignored. You have to find people who work in the field as you and then make friends while sticking together. My job is very simple, really. I look at empty spaces in the city whether it is land or buildings, and I work with a team on the best way to put something else there. People sometimes think that engineers operate machinery, which sometimes they do. But most of my work involves the design process. Currently, I would rate my job as a seven. I would like to stay busier, but with business not really growing as much as we would like, that is hard to do. I do like the work I have been doing, and the more technology advances, the more options we have with creating buildings. I would like to take my career to the next level. I would love to own my own company at some point as an engineer. When I was younger I would always draw pictures. I guess this is how I got started in my career. I liked looking at empty buildings and thinking about what I could put in them so they would not go to waste. The bigger the city you live in, the more work you will have. There are several places in the city I live in that needs to be redone, so we always have something to think about. However, unless the money is there to get the work done, itâs only a design. One of the strangest things I have seen is when we were designing a building in downtown. We had to tour the old building, and while we were there, I would bet anything that there were ghosts in the building. I go to work because I know something I do or design will make a difference. There are places in the city I live that I can look at and say that I helped build that. One of the challenges I have had of late is the lack of funding for new buildings. If people canât build, then you canât get paid. My job is not that stressful, but you do have longer hours when there is something new to work on. This does mean the money is good, so I try not to complain. I make about $30,000 a year or more depending on the work I do. The longer you are involved in this line of work, the more money you will make. I take about two weeks vacation during the year and I have holidays off. This is plenty for me because I like what I do. In school I took the engineering courses and got my Associates degree in Engineering. The more classes you go back to school for, the more money and better jobs there are. I would tell my friend if they are creative, then engineering is the best field for you right now. In five years I would love to own my own business in a larger city.
