3 Sites with Examples of Nice Resumes
 
1) Resume-Now.com
This website has many different resumes styles to choose from.  They have you fill out all your information for your resume and then you get to choose the layout for it when you are done.  I tried this website for my husband's resume and after I got done with the whole resume they wanted to charge me money for the resume.  The site says that they do have templates, but they cost money. 
2) Job Mob
There are a lot of really nice resume designs and ideas here.  There are not any templates to download.  You just get to see different ideas and then you can make your own.
3) My Perfect Resume
This web site has a lot of options for resumes.  They say you can have your resume all done in about 10 minutes.  They also say that they have free resume templates.  I will have to try this site!

Three Types of Computers I Use Most Often
 
The three types of computers I use most often are my desktop computer, a laptop computer, and my smart phone.  I just got a new HP Pavilion All-in-One 23" touchscreen desktop computer!  I use that most of the time for my homework, paying the bills, and checking e-mail when at home.  I use my husband's laptop occasionally to play games, or to find things I am looking for on the internet.  I use my cell phone all the time when I am out and about to check e-mail, to check my bank account, and to check my Facebook.  I do not know what I would do without my computers anymore.  For a long time we did not have cell phones and then when we first got one all we could do is call people.  Now you can talk, text, use the Internet, and stay in contact with people through Facebook all on a little computer that fits in your hand.  We have gotten very spoiled with technology today!
3 Software Programs I Use Most Often
 
I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Word.  I use Internet Explorer on my computer all the time because I just got it and I have not downloaded Google Chrome yet.  I use this to get on the internet at my house to do bills, check e-mails, etc.  I use Google Chrome when I use my husband's laptop.  I just used it last night to get on the internet and find homes for sale and sometimes to do my homework when I am at school.  I use Microsoft Word all the time for school work.  I am always having to write some paper or turn in Microsoft Word documents.
