The CEOs you thought would be on Twitter

Barbara Lang,?@BarbaraLang

Yes, the D.C. Chamber of Commerce CEO does have a Twitter handle at least.?But there's nary a tweet underneath it. Lang's team says she either tweets?or oversees the Twitter conversation from the chamber's handle, @dcchamber,?and that she's plenty involved. But we can't help it ? we'd like to see more?of her firepower under her own name. Her feed on D.C.'s new living wage bill?alone would be worth reading.

Barbara's take: "My focus is on the values and priorities of the Chamber. In my role as President and CEO, I of course use social media to keep Chamber members and followers abreast of what we're doing to further those goals on their behalf. That is where my interests lie and so that's how I use social media."

Staff Washington Business Journal

Even as the rest of the working world seems to jump onto Twitter like it's a bouncy castle at a 4-year-old's birthday party, there are some CEOs who have chosen to stick to the sidelines for now. And their relative silence in the Twitterverse may surprise you given their high profile in the local business community.

During our search for this package, these were business leaders we expected to find right away with voluminous feeds and provocative commentary. But we can tell you this: If and when they decide to become more personally active on Twitter, they're definitely folks you will want to follow. Check them out to the right.

Tips for Preparing Resume for People Lacking Job Experience ...

By Admin - July, 13th 2013

In the current competitive job market, you can stand out of the crowd of competitors by making your resume attractive even if you lack experience. Here are some tips for creating a good resume:

If you do not have any job experience previously or if you have taken off from the work for sometime now, you might be well-aware of the fact that getting a job without experience is not possible or it might not be that much easier. But, your lack of experience should not eliminate the chances of getting a job. Generally, the HR departments of organizations will be well-aware of the fact that work skills are not gained just because of experience and some people get these skills right from their life experience. The point to remember is that you should show the same through your resume with the help of the tips for preparing a resume given in the following paragraphs:

Using life experience to your benefit: You might have so far been running a business and now just because your business is not going well, you might be interested in taking up a job. So, here you do not have work experience, so you can start your resume by mentioning your life experience. You can specify the services you offered when you were in your school by joining the scout team and you can also specify the development you got in your business life.

Course works and awards: Without experience, the next area where you can focus is to list out your educational qualification and this includes not only your school-level and college-level details, but do not forget to mention any other courses that you have taken privately from other institutions for improving your skills. Also, do not forget to mention the details about any awards you have earned in your educational life or even in your business life. Details about the awards you have won will depict you as a competitive individual with an urge to perform well.

Cover letter: A good cover letter is important in improving your job prospects. Generally, most of the applicants fail to send a cover letter along with their resume unless and until it is specified by the organization for which they are applying. Irrespective of whether it is asked or not in the job advertisement, do attach your resume with a cover letter. It can provide a panoramic view of your character to the interviewer. In a situation, where you lack experience, a good and impressive cover letter can act as a cushion to show off yourself in a detailed manner. You can also exhibit your interest and motivation towards working in the organization through the cover letter.

Pakistani teenager shot by Taliban comes to UN

UNITED NATIONS (AP) ? A new report released to mark the 16th birthday of a Pakistani teenager shot by the Taliban for promoting education for girls says 57 million children around the world are not going to school, and half live in conflict-affected countries.

The U.N. education and cultural agency UNESCO and Save the Children released the study ahead of Friday's first public appearance at the United Nations by Malala Yousafzai, who returned to school in March after medical treatment in Britain for injuries she suffered in the October attack.

She will address more than 500 young leaders from around the world at a Youth Assembly organized by General Assembly President Vuk Jeremic and U.N. special envoy for global education Gordon Brown, the former British prime minister.

The U.N. has declared July 12 ? her 16th birthday ? as "Malala Day."

According to the report, the number of children of primary school age who are not getting an education has fallen from 60 million in 2008 to 57 million in 2011, but during that period the percentage of youth in conflict-affected countries who aren't at primary school rose from 42 percent to 50 percent, UNESCO said.

Save The Children said the report shows that in 2012 there were more than 3,600 documented attacks on education, including violence, torture and intimidation against children and teachers resulting in death or grave injuries, as well as the shelling and bombing of schools and the recruitment of school-aged children by armed groups.

Since the start of the Syria conflict more than two years ago, 3,900 schools have been destroyed, damaged or are occupied for non-educational purposes, the report says.

The report, called "Children Battling To Go To School," found that 95 percent of the 28.5 million children who aren't getting a primary school education live in low and lower-middle income countries ? 44 percent in sub-Saharan Africa, 19 percent in south and west Asia and 14 percent in the Arab states, UNESCO said.

Girls make up 55 percent of the total and are often the victims of rape and other sexual violence that accompanies armed conflicts, UNESCO said.

"Across many of the world's poorest countries, armed conflict continues to destroy not just school infrastructure, but also the hopes and ambitions of a whole generation of children," UNESCO's Director-General Irina Bokova said.

IFTTT ? the Web?s Universal Automator ? Is Now an iPhone App

When I think of IFTTT ? which we named as one of our 50 favorite sites in 2012 ? the metaphor that comes to mind is those iconic old Reese?s ads involving someone getting chocolate in another person?s peanut butter, and vice versa.

The service, whose name is short for ?If This Then That,? lets you smoosh together dozens of other apps and services, from Evernote to ESPN to Facebook to Flickr to SoundCloud to SkyDrive to e-mail and SMS, by setting an action in one app or service as a trigger to spawn an action in another. Once you create a recipe, IFTTT runs it continuously without requiring further intervention on your part: It lets you automate tasks you didn?t even know could be automated.

The possibilities, which IFTTT calls recipes, are more or less endless. You can get an e-mail notification when a favorite Etsy seller posts new items. You can automatically upload your new Instagram snapshots to Flickr. Or add your Foursquare check-ins to Google Calendar. Or tweet when you walk 10,000 steps while wearing your Jawbone Up. (Up is one of several pieces of hardware IFTTT can talk to; another is Philips? Hue web-connected light bulbs.)

It?s not a unique idea ? Yahoo?s underappreciated Pipes did something roughly similar first ? but IFTTT supports an array of options and lets you do it all with a few clicks.

IFTTT

And now you can do it on an iPhone. The new IFTTT iOS app does exactly the same thing as the existing web-based version, but with an interface that?s been nicely rethought for the small screen. You can create recipes from scratch or find them by browsing or searching a long, long list of ones created and shared by other users. There?s a good chance that someone?s already built the recipe you want, and if nobody has, all those existing ones are still good inspiration.

On the iPhone app, the main screen includes an activity feed that shows activity triggered by your recipes; you can also choose to get a notification each time a specific recipe gets triggered, which is a helpful way to verify that it?s working as you intended. It?s all very slick, and I can?t find much to criticize except for one very picky point: I couldn?t find the shared recipes at first, because the icon IFTTT uses to represent them ? a pair of eyeglasses ? was a bit cryptic. (On the web, you get to them by clicking a Browse button.)

IFTTT just keeps getting more powerful as its creators add new apps, services and actions, and it feels right at home on the iPhone. (Recipes you create on the phone are available on the web and vice versa.) If you can?t figure out a way ? or several ways ? to use it to get useful stuff done, you just aren?t trying.

The sportswriter who made Twitter cry

This pic of brothers Greg Day, from left, Anthony Day and Steven Bennett inspired Richard Deitsch to ask Twitter users for their best photo moments.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Sportswriter asks for photos that capture life's best moments
• Hundreds of images have been shared so far
• Births, proposals, reunions among the moments shared

(CNN) -- Richard Deitsch was perusing Twitter when one photo made him stop. At first glance it's unremarkable, not much different from any other victory photo. It's a bit grainy and shows three young men smiling and hugging.

One of the men had just won an NCAA hockey championship at Yale.

Deitsch said he was struck by something more than just the photo. He knew the man who posted it, Steven Bennett, host of a Buffalo-based sports podcast. Bennett is in the picture celebrating his younger brother's victory, despite having just spent more than six weeks in the hospital.

"You gotta come now," Bennett remembers his younger brother, Anthony Day, telling him over the phone. Bennett made it for the semifinal, which his brother's team won in overtime. For the final game, Bennett was joined by 23 family members, one of whom snapped the photo of all three brothers embracing.

"I thought to myself how remarkable it was to have an image of what was clearly one of the best moments of Steven's life," Deitsch said. "I wondered: How many others have a similar image? So I took to Twitter and asked," he said. He credited @Sports_Casters, one of Bennett's accounts, for the idea in his tweet.

And just like that, the heart of the Internet broke wide open.

"I could never have expected what came next," he said.

Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) has more than 84,000 followers on Twitter. He is a writer and reporter for Sports Illustrated and adjunct professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. He considers himself well-versed on the power of social media. By comparison, @Sports_Casters is a tiny account with only 676 followers. But as people began responding to Deitsch with their birth, reunion and marriage proposal photos, they were also sharing them with @Sports_Casters. Both were humbled and grateful for the opportunity to showcase the best of humanity.

Hundreds of photos have been shared with both accounts, and continue coming in, Deitsch said. Scrolling through his newsfeed, one finds photos of a child's first day of school and high school graduations. A child meeting a sibling for the first time and a baby recovering from open-heart surgery. But there are also unexpected moments of joy witnessed, like a long-married couple exchanging a final goodbye, hard-earned sports victories, and the day a woman opens her eyes after undergoing a heart and double-lung transplant.

Ryan Kaltenbach (@RyanKaltenbach) sent that photo. He said it was taken by his mother-in-law in February of 2012 as they waited for his wife, Sharlie, to open her eyes in a hospital room in Palo Alto, California.

Sharlie was born with cystic fibrosis, a genetic and potentially life-threatening illness that attacks the lungs. Ryan said in the eight years they had been married, he had seen her health deteriorate to the point that she required oxygen to do the simplest tasks, including playing with their then 5-year-old son.

In the 17 months since the surgery, Ryan says Sharlie is unrecognizable.

"She swims. She exercises every day. It's a 180-degree difference," he said.

When Ryan first saw Deitsch's request for photos of best moments, he immediately knew what to send. He says he looks up to Deitsch a lot and finds him a great person to follow on Twitter.

"I am stunned at the volume and how many strangers trusted me with their images," Deitsch says. "But I'm not stunned at the humanity because it exists on Twitter, even amid the hate and snark."

When asked what he learned from this experiment, he said, "It reinforced what I already know: The power of social media is stunning. Nothing about this was expected or planned which is why it's the best thing I've ever done on Twitter."
