TRADITIONAL RESUMES The traditional resume will not soon be outdated and is necessary for (almost) any job

interview today. But the way in which these pieces of paper are organized vary depending on your style and sometimes even your job industry. 1. Chronological Resume A chronological resume starts by listing your work history in reverse chronological order, with the most recent position listed first. Your education, skills, or honors will then follow below. This resume is largely preferred by employers because its much easier to skim through your important work history. 2. Functional Resume A functional resume focuses more on your skills, experience, and expertise rather than the timeline of your work history. These types of resumes often have skills clusters that are specific and target a specific job. The great thing about functional resumes is that it emphasizes nontraditional or new skills for job seekers looking to switch careers. 3. Combination Resume Combination resumes are for job seekers who want the best of both worlds. This type of resume highlights skills and experience, while also highlighting a chronological work history. Its important to note that with chronological resumes, its not necessary to highlight job accomplishments within your work history, as you should be doing this in your skills and accomplishments section.

NONTRADITIONAL RESUMES With the rise of digital media and social media, nontraditional resumes have turned that bland piece of paper into an exciting tour through a job seekers best skills and work history. Take a look at a few fresh ways to showcase your best assets. 1. Infographic Resume The infographic resume is a visual tool to showcase the best of your skills and experience. These resumes are SEO targeted and provide a great way for job seekers to stand out from the crowd. However, not every infographic resume is going to be a slam dunk. Because infographics are driven by visuals and statistics, an infographic resume needs to showcase

some great numbers and facts about you. Try using Visualize.me to get started with your own infographic resume. 2. Video Resume Another nontraditional resume that is gaining traction is the video resume. These resumes can often serve as a resume and cover letter in one. In a video resume, the job seeker creates a short video (typically one to two minutes) that explains why he or she is right for the job and exactly how they will contribute. These videos serve as a great way for a hiring manger to quickly understand who the job candidate is, as well as get a better sense of their personality and demeanor. 3. Social Resume Social resumes involve job seekers adding resume information to their social media profiles, making it easier for hiring managers to find the right information online. With websites like LinkedIn, job seekers can already share all of their work history online. But by sharing the links to these social resumes via email, on your traditional resume, or on your blog, it makes it easier for others to find your work.

Word Processor A word processor is an electronic device or a computer application software that, as directed by the user, performs word processing: the composition, editing, formatting and sometimes printing of any sort of written material. Word processing can also refer to advanced shorthand techniques, sometimes used in specialized contexts with a specially modified typewriter. The term was coined at IBM'sBblingen, West Germany Laboratory in the 1960s. Typical features of a word processor include font application, spell checking, grammar checking, a built-in thesaurus, automatic text correction, Web integration and HTML exporting, among others.

Examples of Word Processors Microsoft Word Microsoft Word has dominated the word processing world since the mid-1990s. According to Microsoft's own figures, over 500 million people used its Office productivity products, including Word, in 2009. As the industry leader, Word issues major new versions every few years and sets the bar that its competitors try to meet or exceed. Some of the new features that Microsoft touts in Word 2013 include an improved reading mode that emulates the action of reading a book, a "resume reading" mode that lets you pick up in a document where you left off previously and a new revision viewing mode. Google Docs Online word processors arrived on the scene much later than its desktop counterparts. The biggest player in this category as of 2013 is Google Docs, which uses cloud storage to let users access their files from any computer with an Internet connection. Google Docs places an emphasis on real-time collaboration between multiple authors, while including most of the functions that people have come to expect from word processors. Google Docs works on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome as well as Safari, and while not open source, it is free. OpenOffice Writer OpenOffice Writer, owned by Apache as of 2013, is both free and open-source. It works on multiple operating systems, can write to most major word processor file formats and read virtually all of them. It can also handle many other text and image file formats, including PDF, JPG and HTML. Stylistically, OpenOffice Writer emulates industry leader Microsoft Word. OpenOffice enjoys a high level of popularity, with over 100,000 downloads most days. One of its biggest downsides is that it takes a long time to launch as well as a long time to open very large documents. Ami Pro On the historical side, Samna Corporation's Ami Pro was the first major WYSIWYG, or "what you see is what you get," graphical word processor. It pioneered the idea of being able to freely move your cursor anywhere on the page, rather than only up to the last character of text. It also

pioneered colorful function icons, and was one of the first word processors to adopt word wrapping between lines. All of these features go without thinking today, but once upon a time they were cutting-edge. Ami Pro had its heyday in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and its successor lives on today as IBM's Lotus SmartSuite. History of Word Processing

The invention of printing and moveable type at the end of the Middle Ages was the initial step in this automation. But the first major advance from manual writing as far as the individual was concerned was the typewriter. Henry Mill, an English engineer of the early eighteenth century, is credited with its invention. The fact that almost nothing is known about his early version today is evidence of its lack of success. Christopher Latham Sholes, with the assistance of two colleagues, invented the first successful manual typewriter in 1867. It began to be marketed commercially in 1874, rather improbably by a gun manufacturing company, E. Remington and Sons. The main drawback of this model was that it printed on the underside of the roller, so that the typist could not view his work until he had finished. Acceptance of the typewriter was slow at first, but was facilitated over the next several years by various improvements. These included: the shift key, which made it possible to type both capital and lower-case letters with the same keys (1878); printing on the upper side of the roller (1880); and the tab key, permitting the setting of margins (1897). Eventually, at first in the corporate sector, the typewriter began to catch on. Businesses, which had hitherto had their records and correspondence written and copied by hand, found their paperwork could be done more quickly and legibly on the typewriter. Typewriting was put within the reach of individuals by the development of portable models, first marketed in the early 1900s. Thomas Edison patented an electric typewriter in 1872, but the first workable model was not introduced until the 1920s. In the 1930s IBM introduced a more refined version, the IBM Electromatic. It "greatly increased typing speeds and quickly gained wide acceptance in the business community." This was soon followed by the M. Shultz Company's introduction of the automatic or repetitive typewriter, perhaps the greatest step from the typewriter towards modern word processing. The Shultz machine's main innovation was automatic storage of information for later retrieval. It was a sort of "player typewriter," punch-coding text onto paper rolls similar to those used in player pianos, which could later be used to activate the keys of the typewriter in the same order as the initial typing. With the automatic typewriter, it was possible to produce multiple typed copies of form letters identical in appearance to the hand-typed original, without the intermediary of carbons, photocopiers or typesetting. The bulky paper roll machine was succeeded by a device called the Flexowriter, which used paper tape. This had a key that allowed the deletion of mistakes from the tape and copies by punching a "non-print" code over the code for the character erroneously typed. Long passages of text could be deleted or moved by literally cutting the tape and pasting it back together. In 1961 IBM introduced the Selectric typewriter, which replaced the standard movable carriage and individual typestrikers with a revolving typeball (often refered to as a "golfball" or "walnut"). This could print faster than the traditional typewriter. In 1964 IBM brought out the MT/ST (Magnetic Tape/Selectric Typewriter), which combined the features of the Selectric with a magnetic tape drive. Magnetic tape was the first reusable storage medium for typed information. With this, for the first time, typed

material could be edited without having to retype the whole text or chop up a coded copy. On the tape, information could be stored, replayed (that is, retyped automatically from the stored information), corrected, reprinted as many times as needed, and then erased and reused for other projects. This development marked the beginning of word processing as it is known today. It also introduced word processing as a definite idea and concept. The term was first used in IBM's marketing of the MT/ST as a "word processing" machine. It was a translation of the German word textverabeitung, coined in the late 1950s by Ulrich Steinhilper, an IBM engineer. He used it as a more precise term for what was done by the act of typing. IBM redefined it "to describe electronic ways of handling a standard set of office activities -- composing, revising, printing, and filing written documents." Since the invention of the MT/ST, advances in technology have made word processing systems less expensive to produce, leading to intensified competition among developers and an increase in the development rate of new packages. In 1969 IBM introduced MagCards, magnetic cards that were slipped into a box attached to the typewriter and recorded text as it was typed on paper. The cards could then be used to recall and reprint text. These were useful mostly to companies which sent out large numbers of form letters. However, only about one page-worth of text could be stored on each card. In 1972 Lexitron and Linolex developed a similar word processing system, but included video display screens and tape cassettes for storage. With the screen, text could be entered and corrected without having to produce a hard copy. Printing could be delayed until the writer was satisfied with the material. The floppy disk marked a new stage in the evolution of storage media. Developed by IBM in the early 1970s for use in data processing (that is, traditional number computation), it was soon adopted by the word processing industry. Vydec, in 1973, seems to have been the first manufacturer to produce a word processing system using floppy disks for storage. Previous storage media could only hold one or two pages of text, but the early disks were capable of holding 80 to 100 pages. This increased storage capacity permitted the creation and easy editing of multipage documents without the necessity of changing storage receptacles. Floppy disks could also be used to hold programs. The most important advance in word processing was the change from "hard wired" instructions built into the machinery to software on disks. When the programs were part of the equipment they were difficult to change and expensive to upgrade. Programs on disks could be updated more economically, since a rewritten program could be loaded into and used with the same hardware as the old one. Before disk programs most word processing packages were "dedicated" systems, which were bulky and expensive, and did not admit computing functions other than word processing. Disk programs made it practical to develop packages for use with personal computers, first made available in completely assembled form in 1977. Thus the separation of the software from the hardware also opened up the field to individuals. Word processing is now "one of the most common general applications for personal computers." Over the next ten years many new features were introduced in the field. One important innovation was the development of spelling check and mailing list programs. Another advance, introduced by Xerox in its Star Information System, allowed working on more than one document at a time on the same screen. Some programs now even incorporate bookkeeping and inventory functions, combining word processing with data processing and completing the marriage of the word processor to the computer. The combined field is known as information processing.
