A cinume is another word for a video resume. Video resumes were first thought of in the 1980s for use and transmission via VHS. The idea never took off. However, with the modern capabilities of transmitting streaming video via the internet, video resumes have taken on new popularity. With the advancement in streaming video technology, the use of cinumes has become a useful tool for both job candidates and employers alike. In this regard, Stephen J. Dubner, a blogger for the New York Times and an author of Freakonomics had this to say about the virtues of cinumes.
I am currently in the process of hiring a new assistant. (Yes, Nicole has been here for more than a year, and I vow at the outset to hold no assistant captive for much longer than that.) I posted an ad on Craig’s List and received roughly 200 resumes. Many of them are impressive. From an anthropological standpoint, nearly every single one is interesting, just to see the kind of skills and traits that people use as employment signals. I had no idea, for instance, that Eagle Scout membership would show up on so many young men’s resumes.
But what’s most striking to me is the disparity between what a person looks like on paper and what they’re like in person. We touched on this notion briefly in Freakonomics – the fact that a resume is a pretty unreliable set of clues. But it goes beyond that. When you’re hiring someone, their personal manner, attitude, quickness, humor, curiosity, and a few dozen other traits are really important. And you get almost none of that on a paper resume.
In light of the fact that a cinume may be a job applicant's first impression to the potential employer, there are certain standards on how to make a professional cinume. Important tips to keep in mind include the following
1. Dress professionally in business attire, just as if you were going to an in-person interview.
2. Keep your video resume short: one - three minutes.
3. Look at the camera not at the desk or table below you.
4. Don't speak too fast.
5. Make sure there isn't any background noise and that the wall behind you isn't too busy.
6. Practice what you're going to say ahead of time.
7. Start by mentioning your name (first and last).
8. Focus on your professional endeavors, not your personal ones.
9. Discuss why you would be a good employee and what you can do for the company that hires you.
10. Thank the viewer for considering you for employment.
11. Be sure to include a link to your cinume on your paper resume.

This is a list of minor Sith characters (both Dark Lords of the Sith and regular Sith Lords) from the fictional Star Wars universe. For Jedi, see List of minor Star Wars Jedi characters. Minor, in this case, refers to the character's role in the Star Wars Universe and not their power levels. Thus, Sith like Darth Vader do NOT belong in this list.
Andeddu, Darth
Darth Andeddu is a fictional character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
As chronicled in issue #63 of the comic book Star Wars: Republic, Andeddu was a Sith Lord of the ancient Sith Empire, which predated the original films' timeline by thousands of years. He created a Holocron that contained vast knowledge of the dark side of the Force, and buried it in his tomb on the planet Korriban. During the Clone Wars, the renegade Jedi Quinlan Vos and Tol Skorr discovered it while serving under Sith Lord Count Dooku. Andeddu's lightsaber crystal was preserved within the Holocron; after studying and dissecting the holocron, Dooku gave the crystal to Vos for use in an assassination.
In the Star Wars: Legacy series, set more than 100 years after A New Hope, Andeddu's spirit appears to Sith Lord Darth Krayt (in the company of fellow ancient Sith Lords Darth Bane and Darth Nihilus) and denounces him as a "pretender" to the Sith lineage.
Bandon, Darth
Darth Bandon was a former Jedi and the apprentice of Darth Malak during the time of the Jedi Civil War. He, in fact, filled the position that Malak himself once had under Darth Revan. Bandon led the assault against the Jedi Battle Fleet above Taris. Bandon wielded a double-bladed lightsaber in combat and wore custom-built armor.
He first met Revan on the Republic medium cruiser Endar Spire and did not recognise the Dark Lord, instead killing his companion, Trask Ulgo. Later the ship was destroyed and it remains unclear how Bandon escaped.
Bandon and his henchmen confronted Revan at the behest of their master, but were defeated by the former Dark Lord and his allies in battle. Revan took Bandon's armor and lightsaber as a memento of the victory. Bandon's death was unmourned, and Malak later replaced him with a far more powerful apprentice: Bastila Shan.
During his time as Malak's servant, Bandon was occasionally prone to violent outbursts, even killing a Sith soldier for merely walking in his path at the wrong time. Displaying cunning but little wisdom, he often held an inflated view of his own power.
Cognus, Darth
Darth Cognus was a Dark Lord of the Sith in the line of Darth Bane, and the master of Darth Millennial. Cognus was angered by the beliefs of his apprentice, which ran contradictory to Bane's teachings, and drove him away. Millennial would later go on to found the Prophets of the Dark Side.
Dark Underlord
In the fictional Star Wars Expanded Universe, the Dark Underlord was the Dark Lord of the Sith of the New Sith Empire sometime during the first half of the New Sith Wars, which lasted from 2,000 BBY to 1,000 BBY. Little is known about him, other than that he fought the Mandalorians at some point during the war. He is believed by some to be reincarnation of the Dark Jedi Xendor, the leader of the Legions of Lettow.
Darzu, Belia
Belia Darzu was a Clawdite Dark Lady of the Sith who reigned during the New Sith Wars from 1250 - 1230 BBY. She crafted a dark suit of heavy battle armor and imbued it with the power of the dark side of the Force.
Belia Darzu also used nanogene droid technology to create an army of Technobeasts, cyborg abominations which she controlled with Mechu-deru.
Donovan
Donovan is a character in the fictional Star Wars universe. He was one of many Dark Jedi who served the Galactic Empire, but Donovan was the protege of Darth Vader himself. Following Vader's and Palpatine's deaths at the Battle of Endor, the former Emperor's Hand Lumiya became the new Dark Lady of the Sith and took Donovan as her Sith apprentice. Shortly afterward, however, Luke Skywalker, warned and assisted by the ghosts of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker, managed to redeem Donovan, who later became a great political figure on the planet Belderone. Sadly, he was eventually murdered by Lady Lumiya as retribution for his betrayal.
Gal, Veren
Veren Gal was an ancient Sith archaeologist who spent many years on Korriban during the era of the Jedi Civil War, researching the tombs in the Valley of the Dark Lords.
Hord, Tulak
In the fictional Star Wars universe, Tulak Hord was one of the Dark Lords of the Sith buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords on the planet Korriban. First featured in the video game Knights of the Old Republic, Tulak Hord was claimed by Kreia in the sequel game to be the greatest lightsaber duelist the Sith had ever known at that time. It is unknown which form of lightsaber dueling Hord practiced; it is likely he was equally proficient in all of them. In The Sith Lords it is said there was a Holocron that displayed Hord's technique. However Kreia mentions no one knows where the holocron lies and, if any did know, they are probably dead by this time.
In Knights of the Old Republic, Darth Revan posed as a student at the Sith Academy on Korriban in order to search the planet for one of the lost Star Maps. While there, in a quest to gain prestige with the master of the academy, Uthar Wynn, Revan fought a fellow Sith student in order to acquire an ancient holocron from the remains of a Tukata. He also fought the former master of the academy, Jorak Uln, and acquired the crazed hermit's researches into Tulak's teachings. However, it's possible Revan could have given both the holocron and the tablets to Master Uthar in order to gain more prestige. So, whether the Dark Lord's teachings and lightsaber techniques are completely lost, or not, is still unknown.
Jax, Carnor
Carnor Jax was a member of the , and an Imperial Sovereign Protector who turned renegade. He was responsible for the betrayal of the reborn Emperor Palpatine and the Imperial Guard, which he had slaughtered. Kir Kanos, the only guard to survive the massacre, killed Jax on . Before his death, Carnor Jax was given limited training in the Sith arts from Lumiya, and was thus one of the last known Sith in the galaxy.
Carnor Jax also trained his own special set of stormtroopers to act as bodyguards for him. They were known as "Blackhole Stormtroopers," named for the Emperor's Hand Blackhole, who originally created this elite stormtrooper force.
Komok-Da
Komok-Da was an ancient Sith Warrior who served as the master of knowledge on arms and armor within the Sith Holocron which was controlled by Kla. Komok-Da seemed to care little for which beings obtained his encyclopedia knowledge of Sith weaponry, but in truth he simply liked to see his knowledge put to use in killing living beings.
Kopecz
Lord Kopecz was a Twi'lek Dark Lord of the Sith circa 1,000 BBY who fought under Lord Kaan in the Light and Darkness War. A fallen Jedi, Kopecz found himself fighting against several of his old allies, such as the Jedi Master Lord Valenthyne Farfalla, in the cataclysmic Seventh Battle of Ruusan. His comrades, former and current were killed by the thought bomb. Kopecz joined the outer defenders, and told Lord Farfalla about the thought bomb in exchange for Farfalla killing him.
Krul, Kaox
Kaox Krul was a Dark Lord of the Sith in the fictional Star Wars Expanded Universe.
He was a Sith Lord and warlord of the New Sith Empire about 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He was responsible for the death of the Jedi Karist Dem and for the destruction of the Duros colony on Harpori.
Later that year, just before the Battle of Ruusan, he was killed at the Battle of Balowa.
Millennial, Darth
Darth Millennial is a minor Sith apprentice who dates to somewhere between 1000 or 32 years before A New Hope (but more probable an earlier date, as he drew upon the ideas of the Sith Lord Kaan); he was an apprentice to the then Dark Lord, Darth Cognus, but chafed under Bane's "Rule of Two". Eventually he escaped, and was the one who first brought the Dark side to the planet Dromund Kaas. There he revived Kaan's "Rule by the Strong". His most lasting legacy would be founding the order of the Prophets of the Dark Side and the tainting of Dromund Kaas. His name is probably derived from the word "millennium"; this fits, since some estimates place him at 1000 BBY.
