Ubuntu Tips & Tricks

When you install a dual-boot of Ubuntu, one of the frustrating things that you'll immediately notice is that Ubuntu is now set as the default operating system in the Grub loader. There's an easy way to switch back to using Windows as the default.
To make this change, you'll first have to boot into Ubuntu, and then run the following command:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Find this section of the file:
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not change this entry to 'saved' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
The important line is the last one. You will need to change that number 0 to match the Windows boot section. Typically it's always going to be 4 on a default dual-boot configuration. Change this value to 4, and then save and reboot your machine. You should go into Windows instead of Ubuntu automatically.
Note: The blocks at the bottom of the file match the items in the menu. You can change this value to match whichever item you want as default, just remember that numbering starts at 0.

in a Resume? 4 Writing your Resume 6 Tips for Scannable Resumes 7 Other Suggestions 8 Action Verbs 9 Chronological Resume Worksheet 10 Additional Resources 13 INTRODUCTION A human resources assistant at the hospital for which you would like to work has begun to check her email. She’s received 100 this afternoon, all with resumes attached. Forty of the resumes are for the same nursing position for which you have applied. She’ll also have to collect those in the mail and fax machine—close to 150 in all. She is the first to review the resumes. Her job is to scan each one in a computerized database. She’ll then query the database based on specific key words identified by the nursing supervisor. Those resumes that meet the requirements will be forwarded to the human resources manager for further review. Those who submitted resumes that don’t meet the criteria will get a polite rejection letter—or hear nothing at all. In other hospitals or health care organizations that do not use a database, a staff person will visually scan each resume to see if minimum qualifications are met. On average, he’ll spend 10-20 seconds screening each one. In these organizations, your employment future...

Curriculum Vitae (CV) - Curriculum Vitae

What is a CV? The term “curriculum vitae” comes from the Latin Curriculum (course) and Vitae (life): The course of one’s life. "It is vitae (not vita) because "life" in the phrase "course of life" ... is in the genitive singular....” - Eric Daniels, CVtips.com A Curriculum Vitae (CV) resembles a resume in many ways, but is more specifically focused on academic achievements. A CV summarizes educational and academic history, and may include details about teaching experience, publications (books, articles,

research papers, unpublished manuscripts, or book chapters), and academic honors and awards. Use a CV rather than a resume for teaching or research opportunities, applying for fellowships or for further academic training. Some research positions in industry may also prefer a CV rather than a resume CV’s are frequently longer than resumes, since the emphasis is on completeness rather than brevity. While there is no single correct format or style for writing a CV, the following types of information are generally included, and typically organized in this way: • Name and Address • Education • Dissertation • Fellowships and Awards • Prepared to Teach or Areas of Research Interest or Areas of Specialization or Areas of Competence/ Expertise or Principal Research and Teaching Interests • Teaching Experience • Research Experience • Publications and Presentations • Works in Progress • Related Professional Experience • Languages • Other • References • Dissertation Abstract Additional Tips • Fields of Interest or Teaching Competencies: CVs may begin with a short section specifying Fields of Interest or Teaching Competencies (instead of a statement of Professional Objective with which resumes may begin). If you do include this optional section, make your categories as broad as possible...

How To Write Clear Resume Objective Statements

How To Write Clear Resume Objective Statements Many resumes begin with a statement or sentence fragment outlining the job-seeker’s idealization of the available position. Often times, these statements fail, however, to provide real specificity about either the desired job or the applicant. An objective statement, like the duties entailed of the jobs listed in the resume itself, should be verb- driven. Further, the statement should draw a direct parallel between the applicant’s experience and training and the generalized requirements of

the job applied for. If you chose to use an objective statement, you should edit or rewrite it every time you send out your resume. Objective statements are not a required component of resumes, but have increased in popularity in recent years. Many human resources professionals claim an objective statement can be a double-edged sword. Such statements can keep you from getting an interview if the position has already been filled, but the company still needs someone in a related capacity, and your resume contains some relevant experience. The interviewer might relegate your letter and resume to the bottom of the stack if your statement clearly points to one narrow positions, or lacks any real power. Use your objective statement with discretion. Sample case You wish to apply for a networking job with a large electronics firm, where you will work with network security, and also provide some training. Poor example: Objective: Position in networking where my electrical engineering background can be used for a rewarding experience. Note the verb use is poor and non-specific; the statement provides no indication of knowledge about the position or the company; wording seems to rely on typical workplace desires. Improved example: Objective: Position...
