Abstract
This paper presents an examination of what can be uncovered about applicants based on their resume information. The writer explores some of the more common themes of resumes and what it tells the reader about that applicant.
From the Paper
"A resume that does not list chronological experience but instead lists general experience first without dates may be telling. The applicant may have periods of unemployment he or she is trying to mask, or the applicant may have had many jobs in a short period of time and not want that to be obvious. The resume that has experience listed with no dates should raise a red flag to any potential employer but should not rule out the potential candidate as a possible employee."

Abstract
This paper explains that often writers of resumes exaggerate and even lie about their accomplishments, skills and education to put the candidate in the most favorable light: Is this immoral, vicious or unjust to stretch the truth? The author points out that, when Kant considers the morality of lying, he applies the categorical imperative; lying is wrong because it adversely affects mankind universally and man individually. The paper relates that Mill argues that the wide-ranging social harm that lying causes far outweighs the good experienced by its beneficiaries and that, although at times lies may be useful, lying takes away the trustworthiness of the individual.
From the Paper
"Kant's moral system is based on rationality. It attempts to show how any rational being would agree to universal moral laws. For Kant, human beings as moral agents are rational and autonomous (free to make choices). He thinks that as rational beings we are able to judge whether any action is moral by asking if the action is consistent with the categorical imperative. According to Kant, moral imperatives exist which are inherent in human nature. The existence of these imperatives provides evidence that the goodness of an act is not related to its outcome."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at ways of producing a successful curriculum vitae. It begins with a general definition of a resume and investigates its primary functions. The paper provides tips on what should be included and excluded from a resume, as well as the information which potential employers are looking for when reading resumes. The paper provides four examples of resumes and comments on the information contained in all of them.
From the Paper
"Focusing on a clear job target creates the perfect resume. You must communicate your value to the employer by emphasizing your ability to produce results. Think of your r?sum? as a self-advertisement that clearly describes your capabilities and accomplishments. Make sure your R?sum? looks perfect! It demonstrates the care the writer put into the work and should not have incorrect data. When writing your accomplishments remember that it is a final measurable product that people can relate too. A duty is not a result, but an obligation. Every jobholder has duties. Be sure to record your accomplishments not your duties."

Abstract
The website for Entarga.com has been designed to promote the consultancy of Ross Wirth, a PhD graduate from Walden University and an MBA from New Mexico State University. The one page resume of Dr. Wirth also includes experiences managing SAP business warehouse information systems and regularly working on cross-functional teams. The writer argues that the website Dr. Wirth has created, however, is at times confusing and lacks a clarity and consistency of focus when it comes to just what exactly he is offering as a service.
Outline:
Summary Description
Overall Look and Feel and Apparent Target Audience
What the Site Does and Does Not Give you
Reasons to Return Back to the Site
What Information was Expected to be Found and Was Not There
Links from the Site that are Helpful
Additional Notes Regarding the Site
Bottom Line Evaluation
From the Paper
"The site does give a series of links for each of the core areas of coverage for Entarga which include organizational change, strategic planning, market planning, organizational complexity, and knowledge management. There are also many specific entries for these topic areas including an impressive 57 page PDF of a bibliography no doubt Dr. Wirth used in completing his dissertation. The entire site delivers for academicians at a very personal level."
"At a professional level however the site fails to deliver even at the most median level of performance. There is nothing in the way of true thought leadership in the white papers, no presentations or graphics, no specific schedules of results generated from primary research, which one would expect from a PhD."

Abstract
This paper successfully gives a detailed practical criticism on four well-known poems. A summary of each poem is given, followed by various literary devices including: alliteration, symbolism, tones, rhyme, allusion. The writer compares and contrasts the two Shakespeare Sonnets.
From the Paper
"This sonnet at first seems very different from the previous sonnet. At first, it seems as if Shakespeare is talking about someone he definitely does not love, with all the negative comparisons. Again, the theme of this poem is love, but it looks at it from a different angle. We do know by the end, that the writer is in love with his ?mistress,? but it is not quite the flowery language of the previous poem, it is tongue-in-cheek. ?And in some perfumes is there more delight, Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.?

Executive Summary
Today's job seekers are competing against experienced workers and new college graduates. A job search plan can be an especially critical part of a recent graduate's program, and can help the graduate find a position which meets his current and future career plans.
Preparing a job search includes clearly defining what the students wants to do, both now and in the future; that definition is then used to determine the best way to learn of the job and how to structure the various pieces of documentation (cover letters, resumes) that are part of the employment process. Job applicants should be ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that, when Wesley K. Clark joined the already crowded field of Democratic presidential hopefuls, he offered the Democratic Party a strong candidate with a resume to make other candidates jealous; but his unclear opinion on the war in Iraq, his character, integrity, and temperament were questioned. The paper pointed out that the 2004 election was Richard Gephardt?s second run for the White House, giving him name recognition and a good fund-raising network. The author believes that, for a Democrat to win, the candidate will have to harp on the idea that Bush?s current domestic and international policies are failing, offer viable solutions, and address how they propose to pay for the changes they propose.
Table of Contents
Carol Moseley Braun
Wesley K. Clark
Howard Dean
Sen. John Edwards
Rep. Richard A. Gephardt
Sen. John F. Kerry
Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich
Sen. Joseph Lieberman
Al Sharpton
George W. Bush
From the Paper
"On Carol Moseley Braun?s issues page on her web site she brings her commitment to women?s issues to the forefront. As an Illinois State Legislature, she fought for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and vows to continue fighting for the social justice for all people. Her view on issues includes a single-payer healthcare plan, long-term care and pensions for women and seeking ways for women to break the glass ceiling. She has come out against the war in Iraq, yet she believes that the troops should have American support since they are involved and should not leave. She is strongly against international policies of President Bush, stating his lack of international support for the war and failure to capture Osama bin Laden."

Technical Training, 2008.
This paper discusses vocational training and its benefits.
1,781 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that today's society is leaning toward career and technical schools where they prepare individuals for today's job market. The paper discusses the merits of technical training that takes the place of college for the many high school graduates who lack the confidence and discipline to pursue their education at a university. The paper relates that many technical schools offer smaller classrooms, hands on training, career guidance, short term training, resume preparation, mock interviews, and job placement assistance.
From the Paper
"College is not for everyone; therefore, technical training may be the best choice for the many high school graduates and college dropouts that lack the confidence and discipline that is necessary to pursue their education at a four to six year university. With added responsibilities, graduation from a traditional university is often a lifetime away and an immature individual may not be prepared for the real world. Doctors of Psychology, James Oelshlager and Robyn Coombs, state that "college students may experience a significant degree of stress as the result of these same developmental opportunities. Previous research has shown that college students report a higher rate of suicidal ideation than non-college students" ("Suicide and College Students"). Students become overwhelmed when they are away from home for the first time in their lives because they are faced with the reality that their parents are, not always, going to take care of their every need. All of a sudden they have to take care of their finances, laundry, cleaning, meals, and manage their time between school and work. Unfortunately, having feelings of distress can lead to suicide and for these individuals it is much easier to make a smooth transition into adulthood through a career school."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief textual analysis of the second chapter of Horace Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto". Beginning with an introduction of the passage and a resume of the events, the paper focuses on explaining the major lines of tension established in the work, with a brief reference to every character involved and an example of Walpole's theatrical effects. The paper contains examples from the text and some quotes from critics.
From the Paper
"Matilda and Theodore become, from that very passage on, interdependent. Theodore is not persecuted for his virtues and does not suffer because of his sincerity. On the contrary, he is an innocent victim of the consequences of events beyond his control, just as Matilda will later become the sacrifice for her father's evil indifference. Theodore consciously moves from exile to isolation (he claims "May she be happy, whatever becomes of me!") and the same thing is true for Matilda - her feelings are "treated as womanish panic", she is at once "ordered to be carried to her apartment". Her helplessness in the face of her father, interested only in the preservation of his descendants, has more power than Manfred's "harsh injustice", his "force", his "rage", his "vain curiosity" and his "wrath". And in that, she is just like Theodore who, no matter how much humiliated, seems a stronger and more sensitive character."

The 21st Amendment and Its Impact on American Society, 2006.
Discussion of the 21st Amendment to the US Constitution, which repealed prohibition.

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of the history, creation and ratification of the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This Amendment repealed prohibition, and allowed the sale and consumption of alcohol to resume in the United States. The social climate in the era leading up to prohibition is discussed, as well as the results of prohibition. Some holes in the 21st Amendment are discussed in view of our current century. The author, however, concludes that the U.S. Constitution remains a living document that is capable of responding to changes in American society.
From the Paper
"During 1933, laws were passed in 43 states that provided for conventions in that or the following year (with the exceptions of Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and North Dakota) (Livingston 211). During the same year conventions were held in thirty-eight states of which thirty-seven ratified the amendment and one (South Carolina) rejected it. The thirty-sixth ratification was received in the late afternoon of December 5, 1933 and the certificate was issued by the Secretary of State less than an hour later (Livingston 211).
On December 6, 1933, the thirty-seventh ratification was received from Maine; as a result, it required less than eleven months after its submission to the states for the amendment to be ratified by the requisite three-fourths and the ill-fated experiment of national prohibition ended (Livingston 211). One of the reasons the process went so smoothly may have been based on a misconception among lawmakers at the time. For example, in his essay, "No More 'Cherry-Picking,'" Aaron Nielson (2004) reports that the 21st Amendment achieved the required votes in each house of Congress without causing much substantive debate, most likely because the majority of Congressmen at the time considered section one of the amendment, the simple repeal of constitutional Prohibition, as being its main thrust: "It seems that sections two and three of the Amendment were seen as being primarily procedural sections, necessary to support and implement section one" (Nielson 281). The implications of that fateful misperception have come back to haunt legislators today, particularly as they apply to section two."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that life is for the living, and remaining depressed about the death of a friend for a long period of time is likely not what the friend who passed away would have wanted. The writer maintains that the friend would have wanted the still-living friend to enjoy the life that he or she was given, and not waste it by being sad and angry over things which were beyond his or her control. Knowing this in one's head, however, and understanding it with one's heart are not the same. Further the writer points out that teenagers who grieve for their lost friends know that they must resume their lives and move on, but they often have trouble figuring out how best to do this. This is where grief counseling comes in and why it is so important. To illustrate this point, the shootings that took place at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado in 1999 are used as an example of teenage grief and how counseling is utilized.
Outline:
Introduction
Grief and Acceptance
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Those who come forward as grief counselors also help to calm the parents and the students and reassure them that something like that will not happen at their school. Everyone responds to sudden death differently and it is important to understand how teenagers deal with this and how grief counseling can help them to get on with their lives and be happy once again. Many years ago a British psychiatrist by the name of John Bowlby created the attachment theory. Much of the current thinking that deals with how someone mourns a loss rests on the basic foundations that Bowlby created. He talked of the very powerful bonds that were between human beings and when these bonds are jeopardized through illness or injury when they are destroyed through death the individual who is still living experiences a very disruptive period."
These particular bonds are often developed very early in life and endure for very long time. They are formed due to basic human needs for security and for safety and usually they are only directed toward a few specific individuals. In the early years this is usually directed only towards the family that as children mature it is often also directed outward toward friends in a slightly larger circle."
