It's me, with a life tip!

My busy work week has kept me pretty mum - my apologies. I am up late on a Friday night nursing my sick hubby, who actually does have swine flu (I thought I had it earlier this summer, but this was never confirmed). This area is rampant with the squirmy little virus right now. My poor little baby!
Well anyway, my life tip:
UPDATE YOUR RESUME/CV EVERY 6 MONTHS.
That's it. It will save you tons of time and tears in the eventual long run. As a close friend of mine recently discovered, you might need a resume at any time - especially in this economy - and updating a resume with 4 years of info is very difficult. Save yourself the headache and heartache and do a twice yearly update while your accomplishments and projects are fresh in your mind! Then in the event of a job loss, career change, or application for advancement you'll be ready to go.

Here are some good tips on writing a resume (geared toward law students but the general hints work in any career field), and here are my old tips from this Spring on swine flu sanitation.
