]]> Comment on Mystery of the Olmec Heads by Richard Welch http://dougneeper.com/2009/10/10/mystery-of-the-olmec-heads/#comment-379 Richard Welch Tue, 09 Feb 2010 01:35:56 +0000 http://dougneeper.wordpress.com/2009/10/10/mystery-of-the-olmec-heads/#comment-379 Though some of the Olmec heads appear Negroid, others look more Oriental. Since Olmec art was highly stylized, no valid anthropological conclusions can be drawn from the giant heads -- though there is some evidence that Negroid types were not unknown in ancient America (See Roots of Cataclysm: Geopulsation and the Atlantis Supervolcano, Algora Publ. NY 2009). Though some of the Olmec heads appear Negroid, others look more Oriental.

]]> Comment on Antiquity – King Tut DNA test by Gail Heather http://dougneeper.com/2010/02/01/antiquity-king-tut-dna-test/#comment-366 Gail Heather Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:18:19 +0000 http://dougneeper.com/2010/02/01/antiquity-king-tut-dna-test/#comment-366 I hope the DNA tests are conclusive. I’ve puzzled over late 18th Dynasty relationships. Understanding who these people were and where their ideas came from will tell us much about the foundations of civilization.

You are the expert on your own career. Whether you are reviewing your resume by yourself, with a job search partner, or with a professional resume writer, the process is essentially the same. You must take an active role in the writing. Is the resume under-stated, over-stated or properly positioned? If you work with someone else, it can be a useful collaborative writing process. The other person may offer a new perspective about what you have to offer your next employer. It can be hard to figure out for yourself.

Apple never used to be anywhere like that. I'm aged enough to remember the very first like that even had pointer recognition and two clicks buttons, nevermind all this new stuff they have.

The other lesson is that the CEO should have understood the ease of e-mails being forwarded to a wider group. Confidentiality should have been announced upfront. Fortunately, human beings are quick to help. It was unfortunate in this case. Yikes! The other lesson is that the CEO should have understood the ease of e-mails being forwarded to a wider group.

]]> Comment on How to Write a Credible Business Plan by Tristan Mostowy http://dougneeper.com/2009/10/17/how-to-write-a-credible-business-plan/#comment-286 Tristan Mostowy Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:52:11 +0000 http://dougneeper.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/how-to-write-a-credible-business-plan/#comment-286 Thanks for posting this article. I'm decidedly frustrated with struggling to search out germane and sound commentary on this matter. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your concise, relevant insight. Thanks for posting this article. I’m decidedly frustrated with struggling to search out germane and sound commentary on this matter.

Do this 1-2 weeks after your initial thank you note. 3-4 weeks after the thank you note, follow up with a brief note and inquire about the status of the opening. At this point, I would let it go, and move on. Its possible the company will get back to you, but, as time goes on the chance of success diminishes. Waiting to hear about a position, can make you very tense; the best thing you can do, is to continue your search. Good Luck!
