Takeaways:

- White space is not a bad thing, particularly when used strategically.

- Quantify experiences with numbers! It will prevent over exaggeration and permit the reader to make her own judgement about your core competencies.

- Tailor your resume to fit the position (this means you may need to revise your resume periodically). Use key words or buzzwords in the industry (and be sure you understand them).

New Georgia Law Corrects for Students Who Did Not Pass the Georgia High School Graduation Tests

According to a bill now signed into law, students who took the Georgia high school graduation tests after 1994 but did not pass, and subsequently did not receive a high school diploma because of not passing the tests, are eligible now to get a retroactive high school diploma. According to the law, the diplomas are to be issued by the local school districts and dated retroactively. A person in this position will need to petition the local school board to determine eligibility for the retroactive diploma.
