Cloud computing is where software applications, processing power, data, and potentially even artificial intelligence are accessed over the internet. Many private individuals now regularly use an online email application such as gmail, Yahoo Mail, or Hotmail.

Indeed, it is likely that within a couple of years the vast majority of personal home and business computing will be internet based.

Q: I have a Masters in English and History. However there are very few jobs available at my level, so I have found myself applying for jobs that might be, if you will excuse the language, beneath me. However, I’ve always worked throughout college semesters and I really want to get a foot on the ladder, even if the job is not tailored to my qualifications.

Should I dumb down my CV to help me over this hurdle? (TN, email)
