Followup: Detailed Resumes?

[Dan BRINEGAR <vr2link -at- VR2LINK -dot- COM>]

In a moment of weakness, insecurity and indecision I wrote:

To follow up:

Darn thing took me till Monday morning to finish, and if it hadn't been for
an electronic copy of the US Gov't Standard Form 71 application I'd filled
out in 1988, I'd *still* be working on the Army hsitory...

Guess what?

Got the call from the agency this afternoon: client discovered they didn't
have time to go over the detailed resumes submitted for six candidates
before they had to get started on their project: so they hired warm bodies
from a temp agency and will review their requirements in a month or so.

Nina and a couple of others are entitled to send me an all-caps "I TOLD YOU
SO! NYAHH-NYAHH" either privately or through the list.
