Excruciating resumes, take III

[geoff-h -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA]

 Another thought: If you create that one all-encompassing
 resume in some reasonably sophisticated software (Frame
 springs to mind), you could use the conditional text
 feature to greatly simplify the process of creating a
 custom resume... for example, include only references
 tagged with a date after 1990 and only "Terse_text" style
 tags. This would save a lot of manual pruning and make the
 creation of resumes much faster. It would also impress the
 heck out of the recruiter when they ask how well you know
 Frame!

 Heck, this would be a fun job in SGML... write a DTD for
 each type of resume you need to create, structure the text
 in a master file, and output a custom resume at the click
 of a button! You could even do it with grep if you're a
 UNIX type, or put the info. in a database to prove you
 understand database publishing. Easy as pie! <gdr>
