Excellent advice, Len. Since we are talking about resumes,
I'd like to briefly discuss a dilemma that I faced the last
time I updated my resume. Do you (all you TC's out there)
describe your employment history in an outline or paragraph
format? I like using complete sentences in a paragraph
format, but it seems like I can cover more in an outline
format. Opinions?
