Job Tips and Job News – House Votes Yes to Discourage Outsourcing
The package, which among other things is aimed at creating jobs and closing tax loopholes, passed the House.
"In this legislation, which is job creating, it closes the loophole which has allowed businesses to ship jobs overseas. Can you believe that we have a tax policy that enables outsourcing? So if you have one thing to say about this bill to your constituents, you can say that today, you voted to close the loophole to ship U.S. jobs overseas and giving businesses a tax break to do so. It is not right. It will be corrected today.”
So said Speaker Nancy Pelosi to House lawmakers just before they voted on H.R. 4213, the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act. For the record, and as many of you already know, the House of Representatives approved the package Friday on a 215-204 vote. The bill will now move to the Senate, which is scheduled to begin work on it June 7, after a Memorial Day recess.
Among many things, the bill renews expired tax breaks like the research tax credit and state sales tax deduction, extends federal unemployment benefits through November of this year, and includes billions for tax-favored bonds for state infrastructure spending.

Job Tips and Job News – IT Resume Writing Don’ts
– Graphics: Though graphics were very popular at one point, they are quickly fading from the public’s perception of style. If you have graphics, make sure they enhance your resume rather than serving to entertain the reader. This will be viewed as childish and will probably result in your resume being thrown away.
– Excessive use of Features: Yes, you are applying for an IT position, and yes, the employer probably knows that you are familiar with the different features of Microsoft Word. You do not need to flaunt this ability, so keep that in mind. In other words: keep it simple! – No Vertical Lines: Many people tend to make the mistake of using vertical lines in their resume. You should avoid doing this as much as possible, as it can completely destroy the message of your resume. It looks unprofessional, and if submitted electronically the vertical lines can cause problems.
These are just a few tips that will help you with the creation of your resume. If you do it right, you will have a great IT resume that represents you well. If you do it wrong, you could have a disaster on your hands that will take years to rectify. That being said, do it right the first time!

Job Tips and Job News – Certifications Are a Stop on the Road to IT Licensing
My column "Certifications Are No Longer Optional" generated emotional responses on both sides of the issue, split roughly 50-50. I agree that certs aren’t worthwhile if you’re well respected within your company, close to retirement or employed by a company that doesn’t value certification. But if you might change jobs in the next few years (voluntarily or not), certifications will strengthen your résumé.
And certs’ relevance goes beyond that. They are the first step toward licensing IT professionals.
Many disciplines have established licensing procedures. Anyone working in those fields who lacks a license is severely restricted in what he can do. For example, accountants can offer tax preparation and bookkeeping services, but only CPAs can audit and certify a company’s books.
