I think that your resume is your opportunity to show that you know how to
use the tools you claim to be able to use. I usually send in a standard
resume (with a paper treatment), but also include a diskette with a WinHelp
resume and multimedia resume. That way, they can choose how they want to
get their information, while also seeing that I know how to do what I claim
to be able to do.
