Online Attack Silences Twitter for Much of Day

August 7, 2009
Jenna Wortham of the New York Times reports on the Twitter outage suggesting "Many of Twitter’s 45 million legitimate visitors were unable to use the service for hours. Analysts characterized the disruption as a denial-of-service attack, in which hackers overwhelm a Web site by sending it a deluge of junk requests, and one suggested the attack might have originated in Russia or Georgia."

Sure is a fragile Space out there in Cyber.

Welcome to the expertresumeman blog ... day 1

Hi

Welcome to my new blog, my name is Graham Caulfield, and I write and edit résumés … been doing it for over 25 years, both here in Texas and in Australia where I was born.

I’ve always said, your résumé is your professional calling card!

So whatever you do, please don’t wait until you HAVE to update your Résumé, or get a new one, because in today's economic environment it is essential to keep it current. You just never know when you might need to use it.

And while I’m on the subject … are you LinkedIn? www.linkedin.com

Human Resource managers can be expected to go well beyond your resume and references these days, and believe me, they are all over LinkedIn. And you can be sure if you make the short list for that job your desperately want … they will want to look at your LinkedIn profile. Don’t have one? Well they just might think you are not in the race!

If you really don't know where to start writing your Résumé , or building your LinkedIn profile email me at graham@expertresumeservice.com or go to my website www.expertresumeservice.com.
