How to buy at Costco without a Costco Card

Costco has large quantities, cheap prices, and an awesome return policy but what if you don't have a card?  How could you possibly take advantage of these great deals? Also, I bet people go to Costco once or twice a year so it is not worth investing into a membership.  Did you know that you can still shop at Costco without a membership!  Here it what you need to do.

  1. Go to Costco.com in the Cash Cards section.
  2. Purchase as many cash cards as you need of $25.00.
  3. When you checkout, grab a friend with a Costco membership to help you enter their membership  number.
  4. After buying the cards, every time you walk in to Costco show one of your Costco cash cards
  5. At the cashier pay with your cash card.
  6. Done, you will be buying at Costco without a membership. :-)
Happy shopping!

Google Takeout - Who is hungry!

Sorry! No, Google does not have a food service but something similar. It's not with food but with your data. Now, your data is very valuable to you but also to online companies.  If you are a Google user you might use the majority of their services.  It's a scary thought that one day all your mail, posts, contacts, and other things will always stay up there without being able to have a copy.  Luckily, the data liberation team, "an engineering team at Google whose only purpose is to make it easy for users to move their data out of Google products, has been involved in Google Takeout . Yes, here is where i got the pun. If you head over to Google.com/takeout you may export all your data from Google to keep locally.  I was very excited when I heard about this because I truly believe the user should be in full control,  like the data liberation team states in their mission statement...

"Users should be able to control the data they store in any of Google's products.  Our team's goal is to make it easier to move data in and out."

 

Take advantage of this and really push for other companies to be  open with there data.

Making a Secure Password

Want to make a secure password but don't how, well keep on looking. An ideal password should be as long as possible. It should include letters, symbols, and numbers; the greater the variety, the better. Try to avoid dictionary words in any language, words spelled backwards and abbreviations, repeating characters, and your personal information.

Post your resume online for rapid distribution

Last year I built my resume for the first time and I have heard over and over that we must keep it up to date every time something changes. I found a website called Emurse that helps manage and store your resume online. You can have it available publicly online.  So next time a company asks me to email them my resume i can say," go to juanzepeda.emurse.com." I guarantee it will get you one step closer to getting that job.
