PresenterMedia Calendar Builder: Conversation with Judd Albrecht

      Judd Albrecht has always been a creative person, from when he was young all the way up until now. Some ways he satisfies that need to be creative are animating, creating graphics, writing/playing music and playing with his kids. He went to school and graduated with a degree in 3D animation. Along with a background in animation, he developed many more skills that have made him a well-rounded digital artist.

Finding Length of a Diagonal Line in PowerPoint 365 for Mac

What if you draw a line in PowerPoint that is slanted or sloped? Now, if you want to know the length of this line, you should know that there’s no built-in feature within PowerPoint to do so. But, why would you even want to know the size of the line? That’s because you may have to create multiple diagonal lines and the second line may need to be exactly half the length of the first line. There may be any number of other reasons why you need to draw other shapes that are proportional, relative to this line.

Looking For a Job? Create Rapport with Your Interviewer

By Nick Ronald, Toastmasters International

In a job interview, however relevant your experience and skills are, a lot will depend on how you present yourself. At one point in my career, I was having great difficulty getting the new job that I really wanted. I joined my local Toastmasters club as I thought that improving my public speaking skills would build my confidence and help with my interviews. In the process, I realized that presenting yourself at an interview is a form of public speaking. What I learned, helped me to get the role I wanted.

That’s because you end up with a picture that does get flipped, but so does the shape. But what if we wanted to just flip the picture? How do you achieve that result?
