Good point. The other thing I do is get all the killer stuff up front, the
experience and education that most directly relates, etc. all goes on the
font page. The "related abilities," etc., which are important but not the
key factors go on the second page. That way if they only do copy or fax or
read the first page, they will see the grabbers.
