The following are two examples to guide you when compiling a Linux skills section on your resume.Having some experience using Linux will add a different dimension to your resume. When filling out a resume, there is usually the gap of a half a page or so between the area of employment and the cover letter. On a Linux site, there is no such interval. This makes your resume stand out from the rest of the candidates for the job.A Linux we might use these skills to write up an application or design some software. However, this is not an occupation which would automatically fit into a general system administrator. And if you are going to leave a gap of this size on your resume, you might want to concentrate on other sections.The Linux skills you have covered can be applied to other computer related job types. In fact, you might have all the skills needed to do the job you are applying for. This is something that should not be overlooked when it comes to filling out a resume.Another example to cover all the bases is a Linux user who does not necessarily have a Linux system or its tools. This person could very well be a web developer. While you might not find a niche in this sector, you can use the skills you have been taught by the computer experience to help in developing more software.The bottom line with these two examples is that you can use Linux skills to provide a different skill set for a variety of jobs. You can have a whole resume written around Linux and all of the references will not need to refer to you as a 'Linux tech'. As long as you use it, you will make sure that your resume will stand out. If you want to expand your knowledge on the subject, you can take a Linux course to gain this knowledge.Linux knowledge can help you when filling out a resume and this will lead to a unique resume that will catch the eye of an employer.

Suze Orman You Need At Least This Much to Retire Early

Suze Orman You Need At Least This Much to Retire Early Suze Orman just threw cold water on early retirement dreams. In a recent podcast, Orman said you need at least $5 million â€" and “really” more like $10 million, saved up in order to make an early exit from the workforce. It should come as no surprise that experts think the amount you need to retire is eye-popping: To retire at the traditional age of 65, experts typically recommend having saved ten times your salary. Other general rules of thumb maintain that you need to save up at least 25 times your annual expenses in order to follow the old 4% withdrawal rule when spending down your assets. Steadily rising health care costs, combined with massive amounts of student loan, credit card, and other debt, have made retirement more difficult than ever. Despite the daunting task, many millennials are hoping to kiss their jobs good-bye well before their parents did. A recent TD Ameritrade survey found that millennials, on average, expect to retire by age 56 â€" seven years below the national average of 63, according to census figures. Many FIRE followers want to retire even earlier, by 40. The FIRE movement â€" short for “financial independence, retire early” â€" has been spreading across the Internet, with almost 450,000 subscribers on its Reddit page. Members aim to maximize savings rates by spending less in order to retire as fast as possible, according the group’s description. The community is mostly made up of millennials, who are increasingly disenchanted with the traditional ideas surrounding careers and retirement. Orman thinks they may be underestimating future costs: she actually argues that 70 is the new retirement age to aim for. A recent analysis by Fidelity shows that the average couple who retire in 2018 will need $280,000 for medical expenses, and that’s if they retire at 65. Retiring early is unrealistic, Orman says, citing rising health care costs in retirement, which most people don’t effectively plan for. “As you get older, things happen,” she told the podcast. And if you need to raise funds for a big, unanticipated medical or other expense, it’s hard to re-enter the workforce if your skills and contacts are out of date. Another aspect that early retirees underestimate is losing the power of compound returns. “One of the greatest investments young people can make in themselves is to start putting money away in their 20s,” notes JJ Kinahan, chief strategist for TD Ameritrade, in a press release. When you leave the workforce in your prime and shift from saving to spending, you miss out on the compound interest of all the money you would have saved, a powerful multiplier. In fact, Orman denounced the entire FIRE movement, saying “I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.” She adds, “I personally think it is the biggest mistake, financially speaking, you will ever, ever make in your lifetime.” Her comments met with mixed feelings from many FIRE devotees: While some appreciated hearing a different perspective on early retirement, many others pointed to Orman’s lavish lifestyle and called her “out of touch with reality.”

Career Path Of A Project Manager - Work It Daily

Career Path Of A Project Manager - Work It Daily This is a true story as told to LatPro.com where you can find helpful career interviews and job search advice in your desired industry. Visit to find a career interview in your field today. My current occupational title is an Assistant Director and I work in government. I’ve been in this career path for approximately 15 years. At least the last 7 years have been spent on project management-related assignments and responsibilities. The Career Path Of A Project Manager As an initial start in project management, my first exposure began as an analyst being assigned some special projects in computer system implementation. My role at the time was to evaluate the feasibility reports and confirm that the project could actually be completed as proposed within the financial plan provided. That experience then developed into larger and larger project reviews and finally a promotion into project management per se. If I would change anything about that career path it’s that in government too often people rise in their careers in silos and only at a certain high enough level of management do they then get exposure to combined issued. If I had had my druthers, far more cross-training across disciplines would have been very helpful. My everyday job involves reviewing and double-checking what performance product is being produced while the overall task involves managing a given project to completion. The two are interconnected as the daily tasks and reviews generate the reports that I vet and then move forward to executive management for final buy-off approval for financial commitment or for status updates. I think one of the biggest myths about being a project manager is that it’s a glorified foreman’s job. The fact is a project manager does far, far more; he is essentially responsible for taking a project from fruition to completion, which means dealing with everything from budgeting, to accounting, to design, engineering, construction or implementation, monitoring, review and audits, and finally close-out. This type of role involves far more than just monitoring a couple of workers to keep them on track with work tasks. In terms of satisfaction score, the project management side of things probably rates high in the neighborhood of an 8 at least. There is a certain personal satisfaction that comes with knowing a project was brought to completion within expectations and exceeding the original goals set. On the other hand, the people management aspect probably takes the most time and energy just to keep the human factor on track. Personalities, personnel issues, and opinion differences can create a number of needless obstacles along the way that have to be overcome. While being a project manager has definitely given my career life a sense of fulfillment, it’s not what I would describe as an all-encompassing life purpose. At the end of the day, project management involves control and influencing others to get work done. If done right, there is no actual construction or production personally performed in the process. In comparison to actually working with tools and being one of the hands-on creators, the project manager has to sit back and oversee the process instead, monitoring progress to make sure it’s acceptable. Not that it is necessarily unique to project management versus other types of management, but the skill to learn cross-discipline thinking is critical to success as a project manager. Many times, the primary role of a project manager is not the project itself but rather the negotiation and relationships that need to be built to ensure support and avoid delays. That comes from soft skills and knowing how to work with others, particularly those in other business areas that may have a shared interest or stake in the progress or results. This is one of the hardest lessons for a new project manager to learn if he is not a people-person already. Looking back on college in comparison to the work world, I would say to any student now not to think of classes taken as any direct relation to work. There’s just far too much difference from class theory to actual office application. Instead, focus on learning the general principles taught. These will become the basic tools that shape how a person thinks and approaches real problems later on in the office. Further, don’t assume there will lots of time to prepare for a solution. Many times project managers have to think on their feet and make quick decisions that can make or break a project. This burden of estimated guessing comes with the responsibility of being the one in charge. Success depends on having good people around you to depend on for quality information when making decisions. That said, people should also be prepared to be surprised. There has been a project I have worked on, put in a lot of time and energy with others, brought it to success only to see executive management then pull the plug on it. It’s very strange to see this happen without any real logical reason as to why. You learn not to take these sort of situations personally, but it can be mentally draining. In closing, those wanting or in the field of project management always need to remember to take time out to decompress. Physical exercise and time to relax are key as the job’s stress can really eat at you. Each day is a pressure-cooker when a project is really going to keep it on track. If release is not practiced regularly, all that stress gets taken home, causing family problems in the evening.
