You could check http://www.charitynavigator.org/ to see what ratio of the money goes to programs vs. admin costs and funding costs. The navigator has many entries for United Way as it seems each region has its own organisation.
Yes - but TV screen sizes are advertised in diagonal length because it is assumed an aspect ratio of 16/9. For a given aspect ratio, larger diagonals imply larger area.
There is a host of aspect ratios for pc displays, 16:10 and 16:9 are both quite popular. Guess what? Nobody runs around looking up screen area.
I have a 16:10 display, which is 'bigger' (visually) than a 16:9 of the same diagonal length when working/playing and bloody 'tiny' when watching videos.
A note for readers who might think this type of resume could help land a job in a traditional company (AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, and any other software company, large and small, who employs recruiters).
Know your customer. Your customer is the recruiter.
A typical recruiter spends less than a minute looking at a resume. Much less than a minute in some cases. This presentation makes it impossible for the reader to skim and get the salient point of why you might match the requirements of a particular position.
The only reason a recruiter would actually read this type of resume is if you were a referral. Otherwise, the recruiter will skip to the next resume on their stack.
I'm a recruiter. I also used to be a programmer, so perhaps I'm not entirely typical, but I actually really enjoyed this format, in general (though I agree with another commenter about how it's a bit harder to scan for salient information than ye olde LinkedIn profile).
Anyway, the reason I enjoyed this format is that I look at huge stacks of resumes on a regular basis, and most of them are completely soulless piles of keywords/buzzwords. Anything that breaks up the monotony and screams, "I am passionate about something" is going to stand out.
This resume doesn't look to be angling for traditional companies so probably not an issue for the author. However you have a point. I'd say though that catering to recruiters, an industry that seems to add nearly negligible value to the recruitment process, would not be all that well advised even in general.
I'm aiming for the second step with this: after I've sent a recruiter my MS-Word curriculum vitae in Dutch, per specifications, and they're including it in their selection to the prospective client, I'ld like the potential client to consider me for an interview based on the online version.
Somehow I fail to equate Zynga with "dent in the universe". Netscape did make a dent. Google did make a dent. If you have the choice of where you'll work, and you want to work that hard, you might want to pay attention to how what actual value will come out of your work for the rest of us...
You wouldn't expect to "receive hardware to install" for a software launch, other than a small number of posters, banners and other promotional paraphernalia.
Let's not rewrite history here. The API that was used must have been PAAPI since it's the only Amazon API that allows access to their catalog. That API has very clear terms of use, and the terms haven't changed that much in the recent past. If a company decides to build a product or business using an API knowing that it goes against the terms of use, it is a huge risk that they have to assume.
I don't know if we're developing 3 times faster than possible, but from the inside it's amazing to see how many projects launch on any given week without any part of the machinery ever stopping.
There's a bug with my amazon prime account. Every time that I pay, I have to manually select "use my amazon payments" balance. I can't save this preference, in a payphrase or just as a normal cookied setting. Thanks!
