For some people, getting a job is pretty easy, while others say they needed to go to Hell and back to find a decent position in a company. So, what's the catch, after all? How come we're not all able to find the job of our dreams, and sometimes we can't even find one to help us survive?

When applying for a job, it's like selling a product, but this time, you are the product, and the company you want to work for, the customer. As it happens in the retail market, it's all about presentation, and a good resume is the main key to success, so today we'll talk about a software solution to stand by your side and help you with this part, its name being EasyJob Resume Builder...


Setup

The last version of this program is 4.0 and, as you're probably expecting, a free trial is also available. While the registration cost is $29.99, the free trial version can be used without any time limit, apart from the fact that you won't be able to print and send your resumes as long as you didn't register your copy.

<-234x60 Half Banner - left->As you can see in the screenshots above, installing the program is extremely easy, and since the setup package is a bit larger than 9MB in size, I think we can move on and talk about EasyJob Resume Builder's interface and features...


Interface

EasyJob Resume Builder is a program that looks great, making it very easy to pursue your goal without having to waste your time learning how to use the application. All your steps are guided by wizards, and the interface of the program is well organized and very simple, without useless elements (for example, the menu bar was taken out).


Features

Using EasyJob Resume Builder is a child's play, since this entire program seems to be a tutorial session. For example, in the Get Started! area, you get info about the two main things you need to do to get up and running, and also you are provided quick access to a very useful 27 pages companion guide, called "The Successful Job-Seeker".

I'll leave the companion guide for you to discover and tell you about the two things mentioned earlier. These are creating your career log, and - obviously - creating a resume.

To create a career log, all you have to do is answer some questions and fill in your personal data and work history, while being guided by a wizard, of course.

The good part about the resumes is that you can keep more of them stored in the database at once, and use them as needed. There are three types of resumes that can be created - generic ones, resumes created when you are replying to a "want ad" and, at last, a direct solicitation resume.

Since there are over 25,000 templates ready, and you can easily customize your resume or cover letter using the internal editor, once they are generated by the program, you simply can't go wrong!


The Good

EasyJob Resume Builder is very easy to use, looks great and has an impressive amount of templates ready for you to use.

The Bad

While the use of online content provides fresh information, I also noticed that some pages don't load at all, and some parts of the Help could have been done better.

Conclusion

EasyJob Resume Builder is an excellent choice for those trying to get that advantage needed to get in front of the competition when applying for a job, and since it's all about presentation... get this program and do your best to sell yourself as expensive as possible. Good luck!

Until Windows Vista was released, Microsoft's operating systems always had a task manager that missed some features needed by a lot of users, so a lot of alternatives were developed. Even now, such applications exceed the capabilities of the built in task manager that comes with Vista, but do they really worth the price? Of course I can't answer this question when talking about an entire category of programs, but I'll try to do this for a single one, so my pick now is called Process Control Master and comes from a producer called CareWindows Corp.


Setup

CareWindows Process Control Master is a rather strange program when talking about its current version. While the official site says the latest release is 4.1.1.1, the About screen of the program shows 1.0.0.0 as the version number. Well, let's move on and see what else can we get for $19.99... or 7 days/12 trial runs for free.

Before checking the interface and features, as usual, I must tell you that the 2.6MB setup package was downloaded really slow from the official site, but probably it was a rush hour on the network, so I can't blame anyone. As you can see in the screenshots above, the setup program already has signs that the interface of this program has some eye candy...


Interface

...and eye candy's what you get, indeed! Process Control Master looks great, its main window is well organized and very easy to use, and I can say without any doubt that this is the best looking process manager that I have used so far. Other than that... you just have to look and see, because there's not much to say about the main window - you get a menu bar, a toolbar , a side panel and five tabs.


Features

After installing the program, my problems started. I got stuck into a couple of errors once, twice, and when I got tired of trying, I installed the program on my other computer. No problems here! Since both systems use Windows XP Professional, I can't really figure out what went wrong first time, but since I managed to get the program up and running, let's see what can be done with it!

Behind Process Control Master's good looks there are some interesting features, and the ones I consider to be really useful are somehow inspired by firewalls or antiviruses. Of course I am talking about the Blacklist and Whitelist. The story is very simple - you add unwanted processes to the Blacklist, and safe ones into the Whitelist.

Inside the first tab, you can simply kill unwanted processes with a single click, while the Whitelist allows you to kill all other running processes, except the ones inside it. Even better, you can add "autokill" to a process from the blacklist, and when it opens, the program will kill it automatically.

Other than the above, there's nothing special, just a well done task manager, better than Windows XP's one and about the same with Vista's one, except the features I mentioned above. These being said, let's draw the conclusions!


The Good

This program looks very good and has most features one would expect from its task manager. The Blacklist and Whitelist are two excellent additions, and the documentation is also very good.

The Bad

Unfortunately, I think that Process Control Master needs to have more to offer so I can consider buying it.

Conclusion

As I see things now, CareWindows' product we had here today is a very good program to try, but also one that I would think twice before spending my money on it. I am not talking about my error when trying to run it for the first time, the only thing I have in mind is the features-price ratio, which needs to be improved.
