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-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-363 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:10:24 +0000 Dina Amadril 363@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>CMA Members did you receive our first edition of "Just The Fa(x)cts" - the one page fax newsletter from CMA highlighting news, events and information?</p> <p>If you did - what do you think? </p> http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/topic/4#post-5 Thu, 28 May 2009 07:24:21 +0000 Dina Amadril 5@http://creditmanagementassociation.org/forums/ <p>Hello Everyone,</p> <p>CMA will be keeping the anscers Community online for quite a while.
