Resume: without a lot of experience, I'd suggest a chronological resume for your first. Pick out volunteer jobs or short jobs and outline the responsibilities you had in a skills kind of framework.
And I say go for French. I regret not paying attention in my french classes growing up! Plus useful when you go to french restaurants ;)
Oooh, all right! And how do you think I should mention my study abroad experience? Thanks for the help! :)
French it is! If only for ordering food. I find that to be the most important >:] Would you say the pronunciation is fairly difficult? Not sure if I can do the whole nasal-y thing, haha. Once I start taking classes, I'll come to you for help and maybe it'll refresh your French! ;p
Yeah I think your study abroad experience is a great thing to put on your first resume. You could list the type of skills you picked up being in a foreign country, or how it helped your communication skills... be creative! Really think about how all your experiences shaped you and what transferable skills you got from them.
Nah I don't think you'll have a problem with the pronunciation. I don't think its crucial for understanding. I haven't taken french in almost 10 years now ahhh! I know more German than French now, actually -.- btw if German is an option, it's really easy (except the genders for nouns, there are 3 compared to 2 in french) but its sooo similar to English, it's crazy.
These are tips for writing resumes in general, which are to an extreme degree for like work applications. I have the same attitude for unpaid work as paid work though
( ... )
Ok so here are my thoughts: I bought a gel/cream eyeliner that comes in a little pot and use a tiny angled brush to put it on. It's really easy compared to liquid and the line looks a lot better than with pencil (and doesn't poke :p)! So here are some options
( ... )
Oooh, no poking you say? Sweet! I will definitely be going out to CVS the next time there's a coupon haha. I think I'll try out the maybelline or loreal - whichever's cheaper at the time haha. Do you have any application tips? I've heard that pulling your eyelid taut is a no no, right? @_@
I think I'll only be willing to splurge on the MAC versions once I'm better at it! haha. Which brush are you using btw?
:D No poking, no tugging! Glides on in short strokes.
The thing that bothered me about liquid is that my single eyelid immediately picks up the liquid when I blink after putting it on :/ But I think gel/cream is better in that respect.
I heard that the L'Oreal one dries out quickly, so I got the Maybelline one.
The brush I'm using is from a set, but as long as it's a small brush with a good handle it'll work! Those L'Oreal and Maybelline ones come with little brushes, so you can always see how you like those before buying a separate brush. The Maybelline one was pretty good actually, but the handle was a little thin (i guess you could wrap something around it hmm)
Glides, eh? I will be sure to practice this technique. Thanks! :) Oooh my eyelids do the same when I blink, although I think for me it's from blinking too hard haha. I blink funny XD
Hm, I see. I guess I'll be trying out the Maybelline one, then~ x]
Oooh, that's right, I forgot you got that super awesome brush set XD. These brush prices are pretty cheap, so I'll probably nab one with a thicker handle. Thanks thanks :)
ooooooh, i know how the resume/cover letter business goes - i'm trying to get a new job right now! i'm an exec assistant/hr assistant/event planner/20 other positions, but if you'd like, i can take a look at your cv/cover letter and give you my 2 cents? ^^ not sure how much that's worth... (oh yeah, about 2 cents.)
also, i can't live without eyeliner. my fav daily/casual one is revlon's colorstay eyeliner (the one where you have to twist it, not sharpen it). i vaguely remember liking mac's as well, if you want something a little fancier.
hahah omgoodness stef, you're some crazy jack of all trades! once I've gotten my cv written up, it would be much appreciated if you could give it a look :D thanks for the offer! I'd love your 2 cents, plzzzz. so where ya trying to work now?
oooh, thanks for the eyeliner rec! I might purchase that for daily use~ I have a problem with eyeliner smudging, ending up beneath my eye, and giving the impression of a black eye, haha. I blink too hard?! idk!
oh snap! ilu for getting your license a year ago <3 how did you go about it btw? like... do I have to get my permit again? hahah. oh god, I'm sure you understand, I'm terrified of driving XD. it's to the point where I think I should just move to a city that relies on public transportation XD
