“I think computer viruses should count as life.  I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive.” – Stephen Hawking

Even though they are separate companies and competitors, there’s no denying that together Uber and Lyft have changed personal transit. What’s interesting is the way that both companies carved out a significant niche by using very different branding and positioning strategies. Uber launched as primarily a luxury brand. ‘A private driver just for you’ if you will. On the other end of the spectrum was Lyft who started by promoting an environmentally friendly solution by providing filling empty seats in cars, and getting other cars off of the road.

The first few months after starting a business can be hectic, scary, and exciting all at once. Life in a startup has a lot to do with trial and error as each industry is very different to break into. The first couple of months are some of the most important when it comes to establishing a brand and feeling out the market. This can be a make or break time for many companies that do not have the backing of investors. The following are details that are often overlooked during the first few months of business.

Applying for jobs can be hard. There’s an entire spectrum of emotions and on top of that, you might also have doubts about how competent your resume is. Today, however, there are modern solutions that help those in need create a great resume. Specific websites that were purposefully created to help you come up with a presentable and competent resume are available.

All the stress and inconveniences of the traditional way of building a resume are gone once you get around to using one of the websites that are currently available online. Most of these websites come with the option of choosing templates for your resume, which is very important. Even more, customization can be done afterward.

#1 What Job Are You Applying For?

This question might seem like a no-brainer, but this is exactly the reason why many people forget to ask it. Are you applying for a field or an office job? Is the environment highly formal or more lax? What do you need to say about yourself in order to get it? These are all the important questions correlating to it, and you need to come up with a reliable answer for yourself before browsing Uptowork’s collection of resume templates, so that you’re 100% sure you’re making the right investment for your future.

#2 How Do You Want To Be Perceived?

Even in the most rigid work environments, it’s important to let your colleagues and employers be aware of at least a few glimmers of your true self. Are you more organized or a free spirit? Is your mind logical or creative? Are you ambitious, are you determined, are you a good team player? You’ll be surprised to find out that your choice of resume template can sometimes divulge these sorts of things about yourself. When you mail your resume over to HR, and they pass it along to your potential future boss, that will be the first glimpse of you they come in contact with. Whoever told you the interview was the first impression was a bit wrong, because it’s merely the second; the first impression lies in the resume. This is why it’s important to know what first impression you want to make when applying for a job.

#3 How Serious Are You About Applying?

If the answer is any other than “very”, you might want to reconsider your options and maybe choose to apply for another job. However, if you’re dedicated to your pursuit (and we hope you are), then you will know exactly what you want when browsing a collection of resume templates. After choosing the template you are most fond of, you will also be given to option to select an appropriate color scheme for it, which will further add your personal touch and give you extra points in favor of your success. And then, you can carry on filling in the necessary information. Good luck!

If you have an excellent idea for an app that you want to build and release to the masses but are terrified at the process you have to go through to make it a reality, you’ll be glad to know you’ve come to the right place.

First impressions are a vastly important part of any website. In fact, more than one-third of visitors will abandon a website if the appearance or layout is unattractive. This can be quite devastating for a site owner operating eCommerce or other sales-based service online.

Have you been thinking about having a website for business or personal use? Maybe you’ve toyed with the idea of building your own but can’t decide if you should start from scratch or use a template. Building your own website is a great way to make sure your site is exactly the way you want it to look and you have complete control.
