New Tailored resumes.
I've been thinking of trying this: make a special targetted resume for each job, listing only the relevant experience and skills. The agents might give me some hassle about this, though.

Sometimes "tolerance" is just a word for not dealing with things.

New Absolutely
That is, in fact, the recommended practice. However, few actually do it. (I know I don't.)

I didn't realize that agents had a problem with this, especially if you supply them with the customization, ex.

"Here's the one you use for a C++ gig."
"Here's the one you use for a UNIX sysadmin gig."
Etc.
Etc.

impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was
gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide.

New It is a lot of work.
I did it for a few job applications that were decidedly non-IT.

"You like it?" he said to Mort, in pretty much the same tone of voice
people used when they said to St George, "You killed a *what*?"
