Standing out at a Job Faire can make a difference in your career search. Career Fairs are starting to pick up, and Dice is running some nice ones, called Targeted Job Fairs. At a Silicon Valley Career Fair in January, 10 companies as showing up, and a major job search company has 82 job faires scheduled for 2010 across the US.
How do you get to the real interviews at a Career Faire? The contention can be significant, but you can help yourself stand out from the gang with early planning. At AA-Careers, we have a simple 6-step process to prepare. Planning to go? Here’s how to prepare:
First, investigate the companies that are going and pick your targets. Use the web to research the organizations that are there ahead of time. Go to their sites and see if they have their jobs listed. Pick a moderate number to target, and get ready to spend an hour or more researching each one. It’s hard to do more than 10 in a day, and 3-5 is a much more reasonable target. For each company, you want to know: recent news, key product lines, and contacts you know. Try to see if you know anyone at the target companies. You should end up with a page or two of research for each company/job.
Second, if there are job openings on the web, read them to see what the organization is looking for. Create a mapping of your accomplishments and skills to the prerequisites of the job. Make the terminology match. If the hiring organization calls customers "clients", your resume should do the same thing. The accomplishments should be written in the style of the hiring company.
Third, create a ‘mini sales pitch’ for each potential company/position combination. Write down a sixty second ‘thumbnail’ that you can repeat verbally describing why you are a key candidate for that job. You’ll use this in your resume and when you meet the company at the job kiosk.
Fourth, modify your resume for each job type. The objective on your resume should exactly match the position you’re targeting. The executive summary should be a written form of your “mini sales pitch” for the job. Then choose the achievements and skills that most clearly match the job requirements. Especially at a Career Faire, the purpose of your resume is a sales tool for you – to get you on-site job interviews. It should be obvious to see that you’re a match based on your resume.
Fifth, rehearse your ‘mini-sales-pitch’. Collect your research and the resume for each position - bring a couple of copies for each – and put each in a intelligibly labeled folder. Keep them in a light briefcase or folio.
Finally, dress and prepare as if you’re doing on-site interviews. Dress nicely and be well groomed. Avoid strong cologne or perfume…use any eau de cologne or fragrance meagerly, if at all.
Remember to smile, and good hunting!

The hierarchical database - Registry - for Windows stores settings and options for configuration on MS Windows operating systems.
The entire settings for low-level operating system components along with applications operable on that operating system are contained in the registry. It finds application in the kernels, SAM, device drivers, services, third party applications and user interface.
To boost computers performance, the registry also gives a method to use counters.
At the time registry was first coupled with Windows 3.1, its main aim was to store information on configuration of components based on COM.
But the use of Windows Registry extended with the launch of Windows NT and Windows 95. It included a large number of per-program INI files wherein configuration settings for Windows had been stored.
The Registry database has two essentials: keys and values.
Registry Values refer to the pairs of name/data stored within the keys.
Manipulation of registry values is carried out by the API functions of Windows, which access names of values discretely from their key paths and/or from Windows handle that acknowledges the parent key.
Although, the term is a little bit confusing, with values resembling associative arrays, wherein standard definition suggests that a key is the name portion of value.
In Windows 3, keys were devoid of containing arbitrary names/data pairs, instead they contained only one unnamed value that needs to be a string.
The biggest advantage of Registry in Microsoft Windows is that it can be edited manually with the help of regedit.exe or regedt32.exe in the Windows directory.
However, sloppy registry editing can lead to a slow computer or losses that cant be reversed. So, performing registry backups must be the priority, and the same has been advised by the software giant Microsoft and various other professionals, authors and editors of business magazines.
Windows 3.x, also known as the “Registration Info Editor” or “Registration Editor”, demonstrated the implementation of current Registry tools.
This was a database of applications primarily used to edit inserted OLE objects in documents.
But the users need to be cautious as the two editors on the aforementioned platforms differ tremendously.
Microsoft Windows XP was the first system in which both the programs were integrated into one. This integrated program contained the interface of REGEDIT.EXE and the functionality of REGEDT32.EXE.
However, the distinctions do not occur with Windows XP as well as the newer versions REGEDIT.EXE being the improved editor and REGEDT32.EXE being purely a stub invoking REGEDIT.EXE.
Following functions can be performed using the Registry Editor:
- Importing and exporting .REG files, exporting data in the binary hive format
- Creating, manipulating, renaming and deleting registry keys, subkeys, values and value data
- Setting permissions based on ACLs (Windows NT-based systems only)
- Loading, manipulating and unloading registry hive format files (Windows NT-based systems only)
- Remotely editing the registry on another networked computer
Apart from Microsoft, Registry could also be edited in LINUX with the help of open source Offline NT Password & Registry Editor for files’ editing.

Below is a letter I wrote to the following organizations:
S.H.U. (Spam-Haters Unanimous)
N.A.A.P.W.H.S. (National Association for the Advancement of People Who Hate Spam)
P.W.H.P.W.D.H.S. (People Who Hate People Who Don’t Hate Spam)
P.F.W.S.H.I.A.L.C. (People for Whom Spam-Hating is a Lifestyle Choice)
S.A.P.W.R.R.R.H.S. (Society for the Advancement of People Who Really Really Really Hate Spam)
P.W.H.S.S.M.I.M.L.W.S.C.O.T.E. (People Who Hate Spam So Much It Makes Little Wisps of Steam Come Out of Their Ears)
And, of course: Spam Haters In The Business of Internet Resource Directory Services.
DEAR FELLOW SPAM HATERS,
I’m writing to suggest that we combine forces in order to present a common front in our righteous war on unsolicited commercial email:
Spam!
I suggest we disband the myriad sites and organizations now opposing unsolicited commercial email in order to form a single, unified organization:
The Spammish Inquisition!
And I further suggest we elect me, Linda Cox, as our leader. Our Grand Inquisatrix!
WHAT ARE MY QUALIFICATIONS?
You think YOU hate spam? You don’t even know what hate is!
I hate spam so much that I… well, just a LOT! That’s how much!
If I hated spam any more than I already do, I think my head would burst into flames and spin like a top! Can you say that?
Don’t think so.
I don’t mean to say that I don’t hate other things, too, like pedophiles and Nazis and that drunk guy who backed over my cat when I was seven.
But spam… hooboy!
SQUISH ‘EM LIKE BUGS!
I believe we should have a constitutional amendment allowing cruel and unusual punishment in the case of spammers. Maybe that tummy thing like the Japanese do when they get depressed.
As with drugs, mere possession of bulk emailing software should result in the immediate confiscation of the computer it was on, as well as any nice clothes, jewelry, or lawn statuary that might have been purchased with spam profits.
Just thinking about sending spam should be illegal, like joking about bombs in an airport. If I get to be Grand Inquisatrix, I’ll have my own force of men-in-black dudes to sniff out spamsters and be really mean to them and call them names until they promise to be good little Netizens again.
It’s for their own good.
IN CLOSING…
Having looked at the Websites of some of the anti-spam crusaders, I know that I am not alone in my revulsion, disgust and utter skin-crawling contempt for spam.
Like them, I have turned a blind-eye to more mundane problems like hunger, illiteracy, disease, country music and poverty so as to focus on the true menace plaguing our cyber-society.
If you wish to support my crusade, you may do so by sending me $99, and as a free gift I’ll send you a CD with the email addresses of 40 million Netizens eagerly awaiting news of your latest product or service.

A modern job search campaign is by nature fairly involved. While the net has offered a variety of new channels, it also creates increased competition for choice jobs and potential challenges for job hunters.
Job search needs to be thought of as a highly personal, highly directed marketing operation where you are the product. Your resume is an ad. Your extended network is your inside source for information and job leads.
So where does the web fit in? At AA-Careers, we just posted a job on a popular job board and got more than 650 responses in a week. For a single opening. That’s increased competition.
Had a strong person contacted us before we ran the posting, they could have secured the position prior to running in to all that competition. How? By knowing someone at our company who became aware of the job prior to posting. Everyone knew of the job for at least 13 days before it was posted. Who in your network might know of a job that’s coming available soon?
Be sure to check your cover letter and resume carefully! When we did an analysis of the 650 resumes, we found a large number of errors. 63% of the applicants were easily taken out with a fast triage process. How? The same way any employer would. By eliminating resumes where the objective didn’t match our job. By rejecting prospects whose cover letters gave us reasons not to engage them, like "I know I’m overqualified but I really need a job". By eliminating prospects whose documents that didn’t open properly. And by passing over job hunters who didn’t bother to spell check their cover letter and/or resume.
So the good news is that job sites give you a feel of what companies are hiring, and for what kinds of positions. But once those jobs are posted, the competition is intense. You can still compete, if you have a well thought out resume, designed to appeal directly and clearly to the recruiter. And if you have practiced interviewing – so you don’t stumble at a critical point.
Another downside to be aware of is how quickly you can be looked up on the net. As we Googled several job hunters, we ran into some personal web pages that were in questionable taste. Nothing larcenous, but enough to swing our thinking about who to hire.
AA-Careers provides a broad set of services for Bay Area job seekers, providing our clients a personal career consultant, a managed job hunting campaign, modern tools like a personal website, video, highly targeted resume, and much more. Let us know if we can help you.
Be careful out there, and good hunting!

A key part of the Euromillions Euro lottery is the Elgordo Loteria - and you would do well to know more about this part. With payouts between eighty-four million and 2.6 billion Euros, the Elgordo Lottery claims one of the world’s richest jackpots. This is not the lottery’s only claim to fame. The El Gordo Lottery makes available more than 13,000 prizes, giving you a one in six chance to win a prize. When you consider the prizes given by other lotteries, that’s pretty good!
Once per month the Euromillions Euro lottery holds a draw. Three months each see special drawings offering even more substantive prizes. Largest of all the drawings is “Elgordo” which is held around Christmas, while the other two bigger lotteries occur in January - “El Nio” - and in summer (”San Ildefonso”).
In an atypical approach to draws, the balls used in the El Gordo lotto sport five digits on each, in a numerical range from 00,000 to 84,999. The system requires two bowls, with one used in deciding a winner, the second the amount.
To enter the lottery, one choice is a full ticket, known as a “serie”. Also available is a “d©cimo”, which is worth one-tenth of a full ticket. This is the other option. Unfortunately, both options are pricy ways to play nor will either increase your chance of winning in any case. For this reason the e-lottery scheme is used by many Euromillions Euro lotto players.
This system can guarantee a prize for every participant. Simply buy into the Euromillions Euro Lottery syndicate which will then divide you up into teams. With each team numbered between zero and nine, the final digit on the winning number signifies the winning team and they take the prize. Every member will then receive an even share of the money. After that, subscriptions are taken for the syndicate ready for the draw the following month.
It is common to feel some concern as to whether it’s worth sharing the pots. The thing to remember is there’s still plenty to share out when the original prize was more than two and a half billion Euros. No reason for concern with this system - you’ll win your share in a prize during each draw, and on top of that a place in the e-lottery is the cheaper approach. Honestly, there is no smarter way to play…
