Abbreviations and acronyms dictionary Encyclopédie du savoir relatif et absolu The 7 deadly sins of resumé design » LifeClever ;-) So you’ve labored with sweat and tears writing your résumé, and now you’re all set to turn it into a magnificently designed creation. Unfortunately, with the freedom of modern computers and fancy software, comes huge opportunities for abuse. When it comes to résumés, both non-designers and professional designers commit some almost unforgivable sins. Here are the 7 deadly sins of résumé design and how to repent: 1. Take a tour of any office supply store and you’ll see shelves of extravagant “résumé” papers featuring special “linen” and “parchment” finishes. To repent: Save your money and get paper with a plain smooth finish. 2. The default typeface in Microsoft Word is Times New Roman, and thus it’s the default for most résumés. To repent: Choose a different typeface. 3. Designers fresh out of school love teeny tiny type. To repent: Set your résumé no smaller than 9 points for sans-serifed type and 10 points for serifed type. 4. Designers also love grey type. 5. 6. 7.
Phrasal Verbs What is a Phrasal Verb? Phrasal verbs (also called multi-word verbs) are idiomatic expressions, combining verbs and prepositions to make new verbs whose meaning is often not obvious from the dictionary definitions of the individual words. They are widely used in both written and spoken English, and new ones are formed all the time as they are a flexible way of creating new terms. A phrasal verb consists of a verb and a preposition or adverb that modifies or changes the meaning; 'give up' is a phrasal verb that means 'stop doing' something, which is very different from 'give'. The word or words that modify a verb in this manner can also go under the name particle. Phrasal verbs can be divided into groups: Intransitive verbs These don't take an object Example: They had an argument, but they've made up now. Inseparable verbs The object must come after the particle. Example: They are looking after their grandchildren. Separable verbs In our phrasal verb list, we classify these as Separable [optional]
