I personally liked the creative resume – but I see it being pretty industry dependent. In the NPO world I think it would be really valuable. Maybe not so much in more traditional/conservative industries.
I found the HelloBee article on moving with a toddler to be timely – we’re moving in a month with a 2 YO in tow. To stage the house, I’ve already employed a number of these to get things packed (hello Mighty Machines…. so. many. machines.).
Anyone have any other moving success strategies?
