We all need a little assistance, especially when we're about to send an application letter to help us land a job that promises huge professional and personal rewards. So why not use a free cover letter template? It's easy, it seems okay and it's readily available. Well, buzzer sound please.Not all free cover letter templates can effectively market your skills.

If you're lucky, it could be given a cursory glance before [more..]

You don't have to be an economist to figure out that any decline in GDP always translates into a decline in technology spending. During the last recession (2001-2003), tech spending collapsed as companies around the country pulled the plug on new projects and slashed IT budgets.However, things have changed dramatically since 2003. There are now 3 times more cell phone users. Internet users have more than doubled, with even grandmothers getting online now. Technology has penetrated into almost every corner of our lives. Where once an office might have one computer for 50 employees, now there are more computers than employees. Information technology has become Business Technology.So, while tech spending might drop over the next three years, we will see the birth of some amazing new techs at the same time. We will see: A new host of gadgets for the national wireless broadband networks. Magnetic plastics that will revolutionize [more..]

I have a strong faith. And very few things shake it. One thing I do remember shaking it and shaking it hard was waking up the morning of April 16, 2007, and turning on the television only to see a "special news report". There was some kind of shooting (in progress) happening at W. Va. Tech but details were "still sketchy". As always, I tried to think the best, and perhaps this was some kind of hostage situation, and everyone would be fine. It was not to be. It turned out, of course, to be the deadliest shooting rampage by a single gunman in U.S. history, on or off a school campus. In a flash, the foundation of my faith had been shaken. I try not to question God. For so long I held onto that tired-old philosophy (that now I often feel is clich?' outdated at best) that is, [more..]
