Pictures of WWI plastic surgery released
While those considering plastic surgery today are used to viewing before and after photographs of patients who have had similar procedures, descendants of some World War I vets are getting a chance to view some pictures of early procedures performed by a pioneering British plastic surgeon.
According to the Telegraph, the surgical records of Dr. Harold Gillies, who performed some of the world's first plastic surgery procedures and skin grafts during the Great War, have been placed online. Gillies performed some 11,000 plastic surgery at The Queen's Hospital in Sidcup, Kent, on more than 2,300 soldiers who were disfigured during battles between 1917 and 1925.
The records are available on the website FindMyPast.co.uk. In addition to amazing before and after photographs, the records also include information on the soldiers, such as their names, regiments and ranks.
"These records are an important source of information for historians, the medical world and those interested in learning about the reality and aftermath of World War I," FindMyPast.co.uk's Debra Chatfield said in a news release. "The medical world owes a great deal to Dr Gillies, as do those who were treated by him in the early twentieth century and anyone who has ever received plastic surgery treatment since then. Without his pioneering developments in this field, plastic surgery might not be as advanced as it is today."
The records are not available for viewing by the general public because of their personal nature. However, anyone who believes one of their family members was treated by Dr. Gillies can view them online.
Gillies, who would have been 130 years old this year, is known as one of the fathers of modern plastic surgery. He was knighted in 1930 because of his contributions to the medical world.
"[He developed] innovative procedures to help reconstruct the faces of badly injured soldiers and airmen, whose facial injuries were caused by bullet wounds and flying shrapnel and needed extensive bone, muscle and skin grafting to restore their appearance," Dr. Sam Alberti, Director of Museums & Archives at the Royal College of Surgeons, said in a news release. "Most notably, Gillies introduced the tubed pedicle which used the patients' own tissue to aid reconstructive surgery and reduce the chance of rejection. The files associated with his work are an unparalleled resource for the study of this important branch of medicine and family history."

Tips for Finding and Applying for Jobs
By Dr. Michael S. Gutter and Amanda Blanco, part of the USDA eXtension program
There are typical places to look for jobs like job websites or classified ads. The problem with these methods is that hundreds of people could apply to one job posting. It is very hard to stand out among hundreds of other applicants.
One alternative to job websites is networking. Networking allows you to connect with others who share your career interests. Your network could help you in the job search process if you are unemployed.
You can start to network by creating a professional online presence on a professional networking site. These sites allow you to formalize your network of colleagues, former colleagues, mentors, friends, family, and acquaintances so that you can learn more about opportunities. People you are connected to can endorse you or recommend you.
Do you submit a résumé or curriculum vitae?
Once you find a job that seems like it might be a good fit, you need to apply. Different job applications have different requirements, so make sure to read them carefully.
What is it?
A resume is a brief summary of education, experience, leadership skills, job skills and awards received
A curriculum vitae or CV is a detailed record of activities related to your career. This can include education, work experience, publications, courses taught etc.
How long is it?
A resume is typically 1 to 2 pages long.
A CV is a long as it needs to be. Those who are further along in their career will typically have longer CVs than those who are just getting started in their career.
What type of job is it for?
Resumes are used in various industries because they are shorter than CVs. Sometimes a potential employer may ask for a CV after they have seen your resume.
A CV is mostly used for academic jobs.
When do I update?
You should update your resume when you have a change in education, experience, leadership skills, job skills, and/or receive a reward.
A CV should be updated more frequently than a resume since it includes activities related to your career.
Keep in mind that a potential employer many pull a credit report prior to hiring you. Learn what other things employers may check when reviewing your application.
