You could call it a substation.....cause really that's what it is, a multi-tasked and very capable application.
So are you one of the millions of people who sat at the PC, or laptop for a few hours, putting together all the information you'd need for your resume, actually get down to really typing it out and s#!% man ......
the internet signal disappears!
............................the battery on your laptop just died!..
Just know this, you were NOT the only one that unfortunately experienced one of the few Greatest MISHAPs of word processing, data entry, or just plain old typing. Good ol' productivity. You just spent three hours, reading resume templates, collaborating and gathering all the necessary information to close the gap between employment in a brief summarized version of your experiences, education and work history. So you've opened a new document in your favorite application, so you start to type, and just as you get your juice going, something stupid and costly happens, here are just a few famous ones. Everything typed was just lost because you forgot to save your work before the laptop battery died......or your coffee spilled over your keyboard, and you hadn't sent anything to a cloud or jump drive so a great feeling of having been just robbed, suddenly and rudely takes over the almost fluid moment.
It happened to me, ...one, too many times! It's very frustrating, because of the time consumption in preparing a resume and under deadline pressure, and than after all that the end result was preventative after all. And I know this now, haha!
Google Documents was the best solution to my problem. That of which I know shall also serve as a solution to quite a bit of file associations and conversions between files. If I needed my work to be printed or saved, there is an option to download as PDF, HTML, .doc, Open Office formats and such. Another plus to Google's Docs is the automatic saving feature. Every so many seconds Google will automatically save your changes to the document .
Great for all document formats actually. The best way to do a resume I must say. With Gmail you'd be able to hold all files in one place, ready to be downloaded and printed or sent via email, chat, or group meeting/hangouts on Google+. Also be able to collaborate together with others while updating all in realtime.
I only use Google Documents for a few years now. I'm still amazed by Google's accessibility to all. Takes us away from the Marketing wars and places us back at the foot of productivity!
