For example, resumes I have reviewed often focus on job duties rather than on accomplishments. The resumes I see are often far too long and provide far too much detail. </p> <p>For a couple of years, I have worked with a not-for-profit organization, the FENG, reviewing and editing or commenting on members resumes. I learned about what to look for in resumes after spending seven years managing the HR function for a previous employer. [No, I didn't work in HR --- I managed the HR department]</p> <p>Here is the bottom line: If you send me your resume, I will edit it and/or recommend changes at no charge --- and with no obligation. This process will be completely confidential. </p> <p>Call me if you have questions at 949 584 9685, otherwise email your resume to me at: <a href="mailto:mcdennis13@yahoo.com">mcdennis13@yahoo.com</a> </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/189#post-892 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 21:15:59 +0000 Dina Amadril 892@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>The Community does sit outside of anscers - it is a separate piece of software. We connect web visitors to it from several sites - CMA's main site, Encyclopedia of Credit and anscers.com.</p> <p>We were able to connect the login data from anscers to the community so that we could provide a single sign on. </p> <p>I think this theme is much cleaner and easier to read also.

Our National Lien Department has worked to incorporate this. We're hoping this doesn't catch on in other states, though, due to the increase in paperwork and procedural steps. </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/189#post-890 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:36:37 +0000 F Scott Wilson 890@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>This looks much cleaner, and it's definitely easier to read. </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/189#post-889 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:31:00 +0000 Christine 889@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>I don't see the tabs either, but I think it's because the community is outside of anscers itself... </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/189#post-888 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 23:59:13 +0000 Guy Nishida 888@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>I'd like it better if it would have the tabs to RFIs, Groups, Reports etc. At least on the browser I use, there are no visible tabs. This was a feature I did not have on the old version as well. But I use Firefox and have had some unique issues with it so I don't know if the tabs are visible for others using a different browser. </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/189#post-887 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 17:40:27 +0000 Christine 887@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>Looking good, Dina! </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/189#post-886 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:57:53 +0000 Dina Amadril 886@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>We are testing out a new theme on the CMA Commmunity - that is a bit cleaner and easier to navigate than the previous theme.</p> <p>(A Theme is the overall look of the site with some functionality changes)</p> <p>Please tell us what you think of the new look. </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/187#post-884 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 17:57:49 +0000 Amber Jackson 884@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>Summary of changes to CA Civil Code §§ 3084 and 3146 effective 01/01/11</p> <p>Civil Code section 3084</p> <p>• Mechanic’s Lien with a proof of service affidavit and “Notice of Mechanic’s</p> <p>Lien” must be served on the owner of the property before the Mechanic’s</p> <p>Lien is recorded [§3084(c) (1)];</p> <p>- Service requirements on the owner are by registered mail, certified</p> <p>mail or first-class mail with a certificate of mailing.

Further, those who provide materials, equipment, or labor to an unlicensed contractor are also prohibited from filing a lien. The new law also eliminates the ability of a purchaser of residential property to waive protection against a claim of lien. The act becomes effective January 1, 2011. </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/85#post-411 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:45:25 +0000 Randy Peinado 411@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>I didn't receive one either.

After reading this post, I went back and found it, it's okay, however I also vote for Emailing instead of faxing. Faxes get lost in the request credit references pile. </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/85#post-405 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:25:25 +0000 F Scott Wilson 405@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>I agree with DMarc. We're trying to use virtual faxes and e-mails, and getting another piece of paper unexpectedly faxed over just adds to my day, and not in a good way.</p> <p>BTW, I didn't get one, either, and I suspect it disappeared into a recycling bin, if there was no clear recipient.</p> <p>I *far* prefer e-mail to faxes.

At first glance I thought it was junk mail too until I noticed the CMA in the top corner. I get innundated by CMA stuff in my email, pleeeaaaase don't fax stuff also... </p>
