Externally, it's mainly marketing: the stated mission of a nonprofit with the equity and operating ability of a C-Corp (and the taxation that goes along with the latter). Internally, being a PBC adds "protection" of the missi

It's baller, but I wish they would focus on the fact that a 105-year-old is doing what he's doing, not focusing on a "record" that's a 1/1 attempt. Add enough caveats and everyone's a record-holder in som

Looks nice from the landing page, but maybe a bit image- heavy for a resume isn't it? Traditionally, yes. But the point of a resume is to get the phone screen . If images and formatting will pop for Company X, go for it.

PDF is far and away the #1 format for resumes. #2 isn't MS Word—it's plain text. The rise of HR and applicant systems mean employers are looking for machine-readable experience and education.

To which we have to look at ourselves. We continue to set ourselves up for these binary choices. Where are the moderates that appeal to 80% of the population, not 40% at each extreme?

You can argue semantics of the full quote, but the only way you get to, "Trump called all Mexicans rapists" is: a) ignoring the context of the remarks being on illegal immigration, b) implying examples apply to the entire populati
