Question About Writing An Effective Cover Letter

Thank you for all the answers so far. The job I'm interested in applying for is a job that requires a college degree. I have the right degree for the job (well known university and >3.0 G.P.A.), but I don't have any experience relevant to that job. I'm concerned that recruiters might overlook my...

Quick Question About Job Search

I'm a recent graduate, so I don't have as much experience as others who are applying. The reason why I want to follow up is because my resume doesn't give a comprehensive picture of who I am. I'm worried that recruiters will simply set aside my application because of my lack of experience.

Quick Question About Job Search

I'm in the process of applying for a job (a job posted in the careers section of the corporate website). If I don't receive a response (in about a week or so), should I call the company and try to follow up or assume that the company isn't interested in interviewing me?

Final stretch studying for CFA Level II... ugh.. someone shoot me.

Best of luck to you on your upcoming exam. This may be off topic, but where can I buy study materials for the CFA exams if I want to learn the material for my own benefit?

OCZ Vertex 2 50 GB vs 60 GB

I noticed that Newegg is selling both a 50 GB and 60 GB version. Is the 60 GB version simply the one with newer firmware or is there a difference the two? Thank you in advance.

Question About Catalyst Motherboard IDE/SATA Drivers

I'm currently running a desktop set to RAID mode in BIOS with just 1 hard drive. I noticed that the Catalyst motherboard drivers have both a PCI IDE driver and a SATA RAID controller driver. Should I install both with the setup I have right now or just the PCI IDE driver? Thanks in advance.

Slightly disappointed in WD Black

Same here, I'm waiting for Intel to tweak their enterprise SSDs for even better performance and lower prices. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw the 32GB X25-E going for $150-$200 by the end of this year.

What is AMD's AGESA?

Slow Transfer/Burst Rate on Hard Drive

Ok I did some more digging and it turns out the 7200.11 line had cache issues due to bad firmware when they came out. Seagate still has a page describing this problem. Could this be the reason why the burst rate is so low? http://www.seagate.com/www/en-...ther_downloads/cuda-fw

Verizon FIOS requires overclocking your computer

Verizon is talking about 400 mhz period. QX9770 has a 1600 fsb (400x4). Even a celeron should be enough to handle the faster speeds of FIOS.

Another yearly surplus in the works for Canadian government.

Honestly I was surprised that the surplus was this low with oil prices as high as they are right now. Other petroleum exporting countries are almost all experiencing record surpluses. Look at Norway for example - its surplus as a percentage of GDP is staggering compared to Canada.
