I prefer a different format:
1. General Statement of My Objective.
2. Review of _relevant_ skills I possess. (I possess many skills that are
irrelevant to the job as well).
3. List of Past Accomplishments (with emphasis on work completed rather than
activities performed).
4. Relevant Past Employment History.
And it's all on one page. (How I love electronic publishing. Cut and
Paste.)
