My Top Tips for Writing and Spelling Numbers on Your Resume

My Top Tips for Writing and Spelling Numbers on Your ResumeAs much as it pains me to admit it, spelling and writing numbers can be really hard. Unfortunately, many employers are not going to understand a certain way of writing or spelling numbers unless they can see that you know how to write or spell numbers in your work place. Here is a little secret, you may want to keep in mind about the way you work with numbers on your resume.At least, I think it is the case. Many people tend to assume that they must learn how to write or spell numbers in their work place just like they would any other language. The problem is that, most employers do not have any idea what an English teacher teaches them in college and would simply be very surprised if you suddenly start writing all of those numbers down and you start using English on your resume!That is not to say that if you were a teacher, they would not notice you were learning a new language on your work place, but if you were a college pr ofessor, you would not have the right attitude to do so. Think about it. What happens if your boss gets all excited when he sees that you have written the numbers down in Spanish or Chinese?In this day and age of computerized data entry, computers and programs, including your work place, have access to a lot of information, and sometimes even more than you know. If you start writing out the numbers with the wrong tone, or don't keep your vocabulary and grammar up to date, your resume will be sitting there for a while before anyone catches onto it. This is why I recommend you do your best to keep your grammar and vocabulary up to date, even on your resume, while still writing in your preferred language.However, the easiest way to get through any writing test that you are going to need to pass at work is to make sure that you know what it is that you are writing about or presenting. Ifyou can't seem to keep up with what you are doing, and you still keep your work line clear, and you a re able to be creative and articulate at the same time, your chances of passing are greatly increased.Most likely needs to have a job, and work are going to be written out for you in whatever format you choose. Therefore, it is critical that you keep your resume and work line organized. If you always put the numbers on your numbers that you are working with on your work line, and you make sure that you write them correctly, then you will have an easier time keeping track of what you are working on, and possibly taking a little bit of time to keep things in order, while writing your resume and job descriptions.I hope this article has helped you understand some of the ways that you can improve your ability to write or spell numbers correctly on your resume. In my experience, when I write out numbers on my work line and am consistently able to maintain the proper tone and volume for my work line, it helps me to communicate properly and effectively. Because of that, I enjoy writing and spelling numbers on my work line, because it makes me feel more comfortable.

Warren Buffett Charity Run by Sister Doris Seeks Volunteers

Warren Buffett Charity Run by Sister Doris Seeks Volunteers Warren Buffett has famously pledged to give away 99% of his money to charity. But who will get a piece of the fortune, currently estimated at around $66 billion? You could soon have the power to help decide. Every year, a “small” chunk of the moneyâ€"$1 to $2 million annually, which is peanuts to Buffettâ€"is dished out to hundreds of individuals and organizations via the Sunshine Lady Foundation run by Doris Buffett, Warren’s 88-year-old sister. As the Boston Globe reported, the Buffetts have received more than 22,000 letters asking for money over the past decade. Many of the requests come from regular people experiencing hard timesâ€"in desperate need of a new furnace, kids’ clothing, medical bills, dentures, mortgage payments, even tombstones and funeralsâ€"and yes, the foundation is known to help them out. “The money does not go directly to individuals; instead, Buffett and her volunteers buy the requested items and have them delivered, or send payments to mortgage companies, utilities, and other creditors,” the Globe clarified. Sifting through all of the requests obviously takes up a lot of time and effort, and Doris “Dodo” Buffett uses a team of volunteers to get it done. After recently relocating to the Boston area, Doris Buffett is currently seeking to beef up her volunteer ranks. And there’s certainly plenty of cash to dole out. “My brother is putting up the money, so we’re sort of limitless,” Buffett told the Globe. “He’s told me that any time I run out of money, all I have to do is call him.” She said that her volunteers must “have to have a heart somewhere,” and that to qualify you should be “very practical” and “not be judgmental.” Appropriately, applications for the volunteer position of “letter reader” are not accepted electronically. A website lists the address where physical application letters should be sent, as well as other details. Those who are accepted shouldn’t expect to be chatting with Warren Buffett around the office water cooler. He is not directly involved in the operation, and said to the Globe of his sister, “I like to give away money wholesale and she likes to give away money retail.” Read Next: Warren Buffett Says Presidential Candidates Are ‘Dead Wrong’ About America’s Future “I mean, she is genuinely interested in a guy who’s had his pickup truck stolen or whatever it may be,” Warren Buffett said. “Through no fault of their own, they’ve been handed a bum deal in their life. And I empathize with those people, but I’m not going to spend my days working with them.”
