Post #116,142 by deSitter 8/31/03 11:13:46 PM Reply	Bullet the blue skies i.e. break up the activities into bulleted chunks that can be digested by the most dyspeptic HR drone. I can see someone tossing this because of the massive activity paragraphs. -drl
Post #116,143 by inthane-chan 8/31/03 11:15:31 PM Reply	Interesting. My father, who is a head administrator with the Department of Education, said I should lose them. In that final hour, when each breath is a struggle to take, and you are looking back over your life's accomplishments, which memories would you treasure? The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others? Therin lies the true measure of a man.

The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others? Therin lies the true measure of a man.

Post #116,171 by kmself 9/1/03 3:44:20 AM Reply	My solution to that is... To write an HTML resume, and dump it to text with Lynx. \r\n\r\n More accurately -- a Makefile, which when run against an HTML format of my resume, produces text, PS, PDF, and RTF (masquerading as DOC) formats. Plust twists. [link\|http://tinyurl.com/lu0f\|Usenet post]. --\r\n Karsten M.

Typical U.S. Corporate HR drones tend to like 1-2 page resumes, bullet points, buzzwords, easily digestible. For these guys, it's all about feeding them into a resume shredder, finding the right buzzwords, then popping out about 15-25 resumes from the 3000 that came in through HR. (BTW, these come AFTER the 5-10 resumes each headhunter has supplied them with.) Typical U.S. corporation wants your most recent experience, last 24-36 months. Anything prior is "inconsequential". Academic, U.S. Government tend to be more like your father says. They want a Curriculum Vitae, not a Resume. They want your "entire" employment history (easier for the background check). They want contacts at every company you've ever worked for. They want "paragraphs". You know the audience, you already will get into the running. So I would say, do what you think you should here.
