Subject: Re: Getting Really Serious with Pages
Chris
I know there's a lady on this list who offers paid skype tuition using
Pages. You couldn't really go far wrong in approaching her and seeing how
far you get with it. It sounds like it's more skills you need, and that
you're not afraid to read CV manuals online to help with the actual content.
Just my thought.

OK, I need to weigh my options here. I admit I have used Pages before,
and indeed have bought a copy both for OSX, as well as for IOS, but I
haven't honestly really diven in much to the app. Don't get me wrong, I
certainly can create somewhat well looking documents with it, but as far
as text formatting, working with tables, bulleted lists, embedded objects,
numbered lists, margins, repaginations, indenting, fonts and styling, and
things of the sort, or working with already included templates, I've not
really done a whole lot with. It's not that I'm scared to, it's just I've
not until recently had much of a need. Plus, no one has really sat down
with me, and helped teach me good eloquent word processing techniques to
make my files look very professional in nature.
With all this said, I am at a point where I need to create a job resume.
I know Pages will let me do this, but for one thing, resume writing has
never been something I've been really taught how to do. I know that there
is obviously a right way, and a wrong way to do it. I also know that
employers are going to now a days see that a lot of effort, or hardly any
effort went into making the document. I know that should not influence
their hiering decision, but lamentably, it does. So, when I say I need to
weigh my options, what I mean is, do you all think pages is going to be my
best bet for this task? Are there apps on the market I can buy that will
literally create the resume for me based off the data I enter, then export
it to a Word file, or what not...? I am a big fan of reading help files
included with applications, but the issue is most of those do not present
themselves from a Voiceover standpoint of a blind user. Normally, that
isn't a big deal, but when it comes to things like this, you do want
things to look snappy and very visually appealing. That's where I get
into the grey area. Not only has no one really worked with me one-on-one
on good resume creation skills, but no one really has worked much with me
either on formatting things within Pages. Even when I used Word on
Windows, I certainly was able to hold my own, but even then, I have never
been the greatest at that type of stuff. I understand this list is for
Voiceover use, not for how do I write a resume use, and I don't really
expect you all to hold my hand and teach me everything, and undoubtedly
there are many web sites out there I could google creating well designed
resumes about, but again, I go back to the argument that they won't be
from a blind perspective. So, with that said, though I don't expect to be
spoon fed the info here on this topic, I do welcome all help, and if I get
an over abundance amount of it, great, if I don't, that's also ok. I
don't set my expectations on
pedestals for it. I do however ask that you all at least gently guide me
in the right direction to at least help give me the knowledge I'll need to
at the very least, get started. If you all can do that and give me some
specific direct resources, aside from just saying, quote: just google it,
end quote, I promise profusely I will use the resources to my advantage,
then, if I have any questions after looking that stuff over, I'll then,
ask at that point.
Thank you for your help.
Chris.
