    The Reflective Supply Chain in Manufacturing
    The well publicised plight of manufacturing companies in the United Kingdom has led to an ever increasing demand for reduction of internal costs and now, more than ever, the focus has been on the cost of supply chains. The nature of supply chains and their structure is however often overlooked, and many of the internal costs can be eliminated by examining the overall

    Estimates on How Much Companies Will Spend to Resolve the Options Backdating Issue
    First some answers on a not so serious note:1. Make an estimate, then multiply by 2, divide by 0.134263 and take the square root after adding Pi times the estimate times 12.3452. Use a dart board and get some friends together to change the numbers to very high 8 figures. The one person that hits the same estimate range on the dart board 3 times is the clo
    “They say my r?sum? should be only one page long. Is that correct?”

    Not necessarily. Many r?sum?s are rightly two, three, or even more pages in length.

    On the other hand, many r?sum?s are far longer than necessary. Carelessly written, they contain “TMI”—“Too Much Information”—and that mind-numbing surplus can damage or destroy a r?sum?’s ability to generate a job interview.

    Here are some tips to help you avoid that possibility:

    Eliminate “fluff.” Some of us use bloated, hackneyed, or empty phrasing that just takes up space. For example, a r?sum?’s objective might say something like “Accomplished Mechanical Engineer seeks an upwardly mobile, challenging position in a growing company.” Better: “A continuing career in Mechanical Engineering.” Be ruthless in cutting out language that serves no plausible purpose.

    Weed out the unnecessary. Few readers enjoy plowing through overly detailed job descriptions on a r?sum?. Make sure your duties, responsibilities, and achievements are described in only as much detail as necessary.

    Avoid “flop-overs.” Save space better used elsewhere by rewriting sentences or paragraphs that end with only a few words on the next line or on the next page. Not only will your writing look neater, but you may also save space better used elsewhere.

    Downplay old experience. In most cases, the last 10 – 15 years of our work experience are the most relevant to our next job. Showcase your skills and achievements in that span in as much detail as prudent. Then, shorten earlier job descriptions accordingly.

    Use bullets. Use bullets (but not too many) to describe achievements or skill sets because …

    Use different formatting. Change the top, side, and bottom margins to as little as one half inch if appearance permits. Or reduce the size of your text font to 10 point (but no smaller). Or try using a font like Garamond instead of Times New Roman: it will take up less space. Or try using a condensed font such as Weissach Condensed. A little experimentation will probably yield big results; however, whether you use these suggestions or others, just make sure readability is not harmed.
