-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What: PLUG East Side Meeting When: Thursday, March 8th, 2007 at 7:00 PM Where: Sequoia Charter School in Mesa (See web site FAQ for directions http://plug.phoenix.az.us/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=3&categories=PLUG+Meetings&parent_id=0#25) Topics: - - Write a Better Resume - - Work with NASA and/or Busting Myths Two great topics this month! Come prepared to learn and be dazzled. The following are presentation and biographical information from each of the presenters. - --------------------- Write a Better Resume By Don Dayley - --------------------- Summary The purpose of my presentation is to introduce the currently effective résumé principles so that the attendees will learn how to put together their own résumé. Since most résumés circulating today are what we call “obituary résumés” that are infinitely less effective than the new “live résumé” – I’ll teach/train you how to develop a live résumé that will give you a whole new image that employers like to see - You will get interviews! Bio Don served for nine years as the Southwest Area LDS Employment Resources Manager. He has been a member of the Professional Association of Résumé Writers (PARW) for many years. He has also participated as a member of the Association of Job Search Training (AJST). He has extensive, successful experience in résumé writing and other job search training skills. He has conducted numerous training classes and seminars in churches, schools, universities, and the community resulting in thousands of job placements throughout the years. He has written and produced many pamphlets and booklets used as practical guides by both job seekers and trainers in the United States, Canada and other countries. In addition to the above bio the following may serve as further insight into my desire to help people in their “Career Upward Mobility”. I am a professional résumé writer and over the past 15 years I have helped hundreds of people learn how to create their own effective résumés. I definitely believe in the "teach a man how to fish" theory. As a result there are hundreds of people, both members [of the LDS church] and non-members, in the church and community who can serve as "résumé coaches" for their family and friends! (Plus, of course, I haven't charged any of these people anything for these career development services - the Lord has been very good to me and I love to share the blessings.) Résumés and cover letters are only part of the "package" job seekers must create for themselves as they prepare to get a job or get a better job or promotion. I call it "Career Upward Mobility" - a lifetime of skillfully developing your career to better serve family, friends, church and community. - ----------------------------------- Work with NASA and/or Busting Myths by Mike Bushroe - ----------------------------------- Summary As to content, I think I will make it audience choice! I will bring a copy of my book, an a CD of pictures from San Francisco to talk about Myth Busters, and a 5 minute video clip of Huygens approaching and landing on Titan and a few other images to talk about my work with Nasa, and that way I can go either way. Bio Mike Bushroe graduated from the University of Arizona with a double Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics and Physics, and then a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering followed by an incomplete masters program in Computer Science. He has advanced the world state of the art in automated X-ray inspection of solder joints, during which time he also received a patent for a special process for centroid detection in images and also got experience working on a high voltage, high vacuum X-ray tube. He has also designed custom electronic circuits and written high speed software to simulate optical tracking signals in real time. He co-authored the Army's Local Area Network Design Guide. And for the last 12 years he has been working at the University of Arizona's Lunar & Planetary Lab (LPL) testing, calibrating, and performing post-descent data analysis of the European Space Agency's Huygens Probe which was dropped into Titan's atmosphere by the Cassini Spacecraft. As part of that work, he is published in the April 30,2005 issue of Science News, the Dec 8, 2005 issue of Nature, as well as articles in Space Science Review and Proceedings of The International Society for Optical Engineering. Mike has also appeared on the cable TV show Myth Busters in episode 46, the Archimedes Solar Death Ray revisit/Mail Bag Special. Since that time, he has been hired by Myth Busters to background research and suggest myth test procedures for new myths, including the Hindenburg and Pirate Special myths. Although Mike is fairly new to Linux at home (currently running SuSe 10.0), the Spacecraft Instrument team has been using a Linux box from Dell for the main file server for years, as well as a process server for atmospheric radiative transfer modeling and video animation. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF5lShDQw/VSQuFZYRAp5TAKCB8G8TjDs9mFRhWOR+myfLA0uhxgCfY7HP Tomdr0aF2BNFbkde7Z7ZN4E= =bqKS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
