It stands alone.</p> <p>If you’re a web developer, you’ll easily pay for BackupBuddy in one job as you can move a client site from your sandbox to a live domain quickly — preserving ALL your theme tweaks, plugins, settings, even non-WP stuff. </p> <p><strong>Here’s what <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://press75.com/" title="press75">Jason Schuller</a> of Press75 says about BackupBuddy:</strong></p> <p><em>“My business is powered by WordPress which means that having a backup of every change I make is pretty much a necessity. With that in mind, the first plugin I activate with any new WordPress install is BackupBuddy. Once activated, it takes two minutes to configure after which you can just let it do it’s job without ever having to worry about your site files or data ever again.”<br/> </em><br/> So how much is your site content and the time and energy you spent on it worth?</p> <p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://pluginbuddy.com/purchase/backupbuddy/" title="backup buddy">Get BackupBuddy today!</a></strong></p> <p>Plus, we’re <strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://pluginbuddy.com/backupbuddy-3-0-is-here/" title="backup buddy 3">offering a discount on BackupBuddy 3.0 through June</a></strong> so it’s even more affordable!</p> </div><div class="entry-footer"><div class="entry-meta">Posted in: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://corymiller.com/category/wordpress/" title="View all posts in WordPress" rel="category tag">WordPress</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://corymiller.com/category/wordpress-plugins/" title="View all posts in WordPress Plugins" rel="category tag">WordPress Plugins</a> </div><div class="entry-utility"></div></div></div><div class="hentry"><div class="entry-header"><h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://corymiller.com/blogging-your-way-to-career-success-7-hours-of-career-training/">Blogging Your Way to Career Success + 7 Hours of Career Training</a></h2><div class="entry-utility"><div class="blog-post-meta"><span class="author">By: Cory Miller</span> <div class="comments-link"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://corymiller.com/blogging-your-way-to-career-success-7-hours-of-career-training/#respond" title="Comment on Blogging Your Way to Career Success + 7 Hours of Career Training">Comments: ( 0 )</a></div><span class="time-date">Posted on: May 31, 2012 7:23 am </span></div></div> </div><div class="entry-content"><p>Over at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://purposefulpaychecks.com/" title="career advice">my new Purposeful Paychecks blog</a>, I’ve scheduled 8 hours of webinar training for June, including my <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/565135474">Blogging Your Way to Career Success webinar</a>. </p> <p>These webinar will be offered free to attend, but the recordings will not be made available publicly so make sure you plan to attend the live training!</p> <p>Here are the webinars: </p> <p><strong>How to Find the Right Career Fit webinar – June 16<br/> </strong>Learn the principles of career success … and the practical steps to lasting career happiness.

But it’s also a brochure that sells your services to employers.</strong></p> <p>But the fact is: Most resumes suck.</p> <p>Not because of the paper or even format, but because you haven’t done the work building the key areas employers look for to make it rock.</p> <p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120626080400/http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2012/05/gallup-1-in-3-young-americans-underemployed-in-april/1#.T7FavZ9YtqI" target="_blank">statistics</a> about those who are underemployed or unemployed are depressing.</p> <p>I have some theories on why those stats exist.
