Thanks for the direction...I've been writing all sorts of resume's lately, and the only one I was unsure of how to organize is the career I went to school for!

I think the 5 second exercise you brought up was important to keep in mind. I wonder how much of my resume would be easy to recall after a quick glance. This article was a big help.

I also think that forcing yourself to write a proper resume gives you a better professional 'pitch' that you can roll off when people ask you what you do / have done. Mine used to be 'music-type stuff', whereas now I sound like I know what I'm talking about ;) Lee. Some good advice there, thanks for the post.
