Resume advice
I'm going for a freelance job on top of my regular one. Quesiton 1: Where is the resume template in Word?
2: I'm 1 credit away from finishing my Journalism program (I transfered schools and they wouldn't accept one credit) How can I deal with that?> I don't want them to think I flunked outta it or something. YES I WILL BE FINISHING IT SOON.
3: SHould I put my current boss as a reference?

Thanks!

1. 1. Easiest way is to use the document wizard
2. Use wording like "Projected to complete degree" or something
3. Only if he knows you're going to be moonlighting. That, and he doesn't have it in for you.

3. Be careful if you plan to freelance in the area that you already cover
for your regular job. That is usually frowned upon. They consider it working for a competitor.

5. Be careful with that damned Word formatting!
Can't you get Pagemaker or Quark or Frontpage or something?
