I went on an Owl Photo day yesterday, a gift from some people at work for my 50th birthday. Very cool:

Ian, I think that last one isn't an Owl...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I was hoping you wouldn't notice. :) Yes, he's an American Bald Eagle. They also had various other birds of prey.

Lt. Staplic wrote:I believe that, at least in the US, there is a distinction between a resume and a CV. As it has always been explained to me resume's are used to highlight work experience and are used primarily when seeking employment in the private work place. A CV highlights education and academic work and is used more heavily in academia. I haven't touched my resume in a couple years but I update my CV once every six months now that I'm in grad school.

My understanding was that a resume is a one pager. The sort of thing you use when you're starting out or trying to get a position from a job fair where they won't have a lot of time, or to get you through an initial round of screening where someone in HR is just checking to see if you actually meet the requirements in the job description.

A CV will be longer. And yes it's often used in academia where they want at least a significant list of your publications and grants.

Although I think now days both are becoming less common as companies move to online submittals where they give you a set of character limited boxes for different pieces of information or otherwise specify the format they want the information in.


In any case good luck Reliant!

In other news, it appears another Star Trek alum has gone on to great things:

Jennifer Lien found a way to occupy herself.

They did sack her for a reason. Apparently she was on drugs and getting worse at the time of Voyager. I had hoped she had picked herself up by now but it would appear not.
