The most common type of resume is in chronological form and lists job experience starting with your most recent position. Another type of resume is the functional resume, which lists experience and skills in a nonchronological format. A typical functional resume includes a section highlighting qualifications and elaborating accomplishments; another section with places of employment, job title, and dates employed; and other sections with education and community service participation.

FDA Warns about Dietary Supplements
In 2006 and 2007, the FDA issued numerous warnings about “natural” dietary supplements promoted for erectile dysfunction and sexual enhancement. These products -- marketed under names such as “True Man,” “Energy Max,” “Rhino Max”-- contain illegal substances that can interact with prescription drugs and dangerously lower blood pressure. The interaction risks are greatest for men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease who take prescription drugs that contain nitrates.

Most of us have presented several drafts of resumes over the years, beginning with our glamorous first jobs and interning experiences, and constantly evolving during our tour of the workplace trenches. Writing resumes is somewhat of an art form, and if you've been the author of your own resume then you've undoubtedly come across lists of attention-grabbing action words. Maybe you're thinking that if everyone is using the same list, then how are you ever going to stand out in the eyes of an employer?

Topiramate (Topamax), an anticonvulsant drug used to treat epilepsy, is showing promise as a treatment for alcohol dependence. In a 2007 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, patients who took topiramate had fewer heavy drinking days, fewer drinks per day, and more days of not drinking at all than patients who received placebo.
