New Ditto - rulez R krap
Mostly.

I do list an objective - I need to be king of the project, seriously impressed with the current king, or I'm not interested. It says so.

I list a skills summary at the top too. Buzzword matching made easy. I list an awful lot of buzzwords.

I group descriptions of my experience - ie all UI work is listed together, same as all OO-RDBMS, all Business Rule stuff....

I list a chronology near the bottom and it includes company name, location, my title, and dates of employment.

Resume has been a hitter for a long time (except recently - but nothing is working for anyone just now).

New Well, depends on the market you're in....
my friend who got laid off by Agilent found another job in two weeks, even closer to his house, for about 10% less pay.

But, he's doing embedded work and has a different skillset: ME degree, but did RTOS and Perl work at Agilent for high end test equipment. Now, he'll be doing mechanical design and deep embedded (4-bit micros) programming for a small company that makes breathalyzer, digital compasses, home automation, etc.

Based on my contacts and reading, embedded and automation developers haven't been hit anywhere near as bad by the downturn as Internet-related developers.

Your entire eulogy was just your bartender telling a coroner, "Yeah, I think that's Britney."
