Here's something one of our members received from a recruiter.
It is a recommended resume format. Sorry about pdf format,
but you'll get the idea.

Mortgage Help for the Unemployed and Underemployed
Hearing about some people in the group facing foreclosure reminded me to write a post about Keep Your Home California, a set of state programs to help homeowners in distress by providing mortgage payments for up to six months. (Yes, I know this is not an IT-specific topic, but I hope it will be helpful to the group.) The web site for the program is here. It looks like they have programs both for the unemployed and for those whose income has dropped recently.
One of the people on my Marin Pro Success Team applied recently and was accepted. This has given her breathing room to find a job she really wants, instead of having to settle for something just to pay the bills.

Where do I put my documents so I can get them from anywhere ?
Strange you should mention it. I had reason to ask
precisely that question mere moments ago and one
answer I found was this :
http://www.docstoc.com/
After registration, you can upload documents which can then be
accessed from anywhere on the web. There is also access to existing
public documents on docstoc, including things like Writing Cover
Letters, Managing your Media Reputation and Career and a handy
Google cheat sheet.
At the price (so far, $00.00) it's well worth the investment.

Vista + Win7 God Mode
This is a cute and handy little thing I just found.
It pulls together a pile of handy admin functions under
one roof.
Do this :
1. Create a new folder on the desktop.
(If you don't know how to do this, then godMode
may just be 2Much4U..)
2. Rename the folder to :
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3. Double click on your new godMode icon.
4. Enjoy....

Not All News Is Bad !?
Here's one government study that indicates there will be
significant growth in IT / Programming work over the next few
years :
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos303.htm#outlook
Overall, employment of computer software engineers and computer programmers is projected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations. Job prospects should be best for those with a bachelor's degree and relevant experience.
Employment change. Overall, employment of computer software engineers and computer programmers is projected to increase by 21 percent from 2008 to 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations. This will be the result of rapid growth among computer software engineers, as employment of computer programmers is expected to decline.
Employment of computer software engineers is expected to increase by 32 percent from 2008-2018, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. In addition, this occupation will see a large number of new jobs, with more than 295,000 created between 2008 and 2018. Demand for computer software engineers will increase as computer networking continues to grow. For example, expanding Internet technologies have spurred demand for computer software engineers who can develop Internet, intranet, and World Wide Web applications. Likewise, electronic data-processing systems in business, telecommunications, healthcare, government, and other settings continue to become more sophisticated and complex. Implementing, safeguarding, and updating computer systems and resolving problems will fuel the demand for growing numbers of systems software engineers.
New growth areas will also continue to arise from rapidly evolving technologies. The increasing uses of the Internet, the proliferation of Web sites, and mobile technology such as the wireless Internet have created a demand for a wide variety of new products. As more software is offered over the Internet, and as businesses demand customized software to meet their specific needs, applications and systems software engineers will be needed in greater numbers. In addition, the growing use of handheld computers will create demand for new mobile applications and software systems. As these devices become a larger part of the business environment, it will be necessary to integrate current computer systems with this new, more mobile technology.

We've Run Out Of Addresses ?
Indeed, we have run out of addresses.
IPV4 (192.168.0.1) has been exhausted.
We simply have too many toys, and so we
c00::/7 — Unique local addresses (ULAs) are intended for local communication. They are routable only within a set of cooperating sites (analogous to the private
address ranges 10/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16 of IPv4).[
The addresses include a 40-bit pseudorandom number in the routing prefix intended to minimize the risk of conflicts if sites merge or packets are misrouted into the Internet.
We start Tomorrow.
Here's one place you can start now : Webopedia on IPV6
and, of for another helping : Wikipedia on IPv6.
IP addresses, the ones that really count are all gone.
We simply have too many toys, and so we
can set about exhausting IPV6
( 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
Actually, a nice LAN safe address like 10.10. or 192.168 is now a ULA.
(gotta have more TLA's)

down cold.
