Is your resume ready for 2010?
Before the ball drops on a new decade, take a look at your resume and at this Yahoo! HotJobs article, "The new resume rules: What's in and what's out." Whether you're currently looking for a new job or not, you'll likely learn something from these seven hints for evaluating your career summary.

Tips like linking to your previous employers' websites and providing LinkedIn info are considered "in," while creating one-page resumes and including a career objective are considered "out." There are plenty of other tips here worth checking out.

Holiday tipping tips
It's that time of year when we often want to show our appreciation for people we interact with throughout the year, but determining an appropriate tip for those hard-working people in our lives is never easy. Read "Emily Post's guide to holiday tipping 2009" to help you determine an appropriate reward, taking into account factors such as budget, location, occupation and other variables.
