The Office: Final Season Review

I was really sick yesterday, so I stayed at home and watched the final season of The Office. I really enjoyed it and laughed a lot and was touched by the characters. The Office had an impressive run of 10 years, it was a very good show.

I’ve been working on building an app for managing copywriters using Google Apps Engine and I’m loving it! Lots of fun and very useful.

Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning already has a hall of fame career, but starting this season with 16 touchdowns in 4 games with 0 interceptions puts him on a whole different plane. He is looking like the greatest player to ever pick up a football at this point.

The Importance of Resumes

Many people seem to neglect their resumes or think that they aren’t very important. Those people have never been recruiters before. Recruiters job is not to find reasons to say yes, but instead to find reasons to say no. Mistakes on a resume are an easy way for me to say no to a candidate. If you have misspellings, grammatical errors, unexplained holes in the years you worked, or a resume not targeted at the job you are applying for I will likely throw your application out and move on to the next candidate.
