I was asked for a resume today by a prospective client...

It's been quite a while since I have even thought about it. I figured that I would just update the last one I had on file.

I looked at computers dating back to 2006, and no such animal!

I guess I'll have to fire up one of the OLDER machines...

:'(

My resume is, more or less, on Linkedin. That and it is routine for a company marketing department to have resumes for it's personnel.

Yea if you have to update references you may need to add zip codes to the addresses. 🙂

In today's world there are two kinds of resumes. One is for those trying to get a chance to meet with HR for a real job. Those are about one page long. The other kind is for those who may need to explain why they are missing a thumb or can't get through the standard scanner at the airport. We fit in the latter category. That kind of resume is the one that actually lists all of your real experience, which may take 20 pages.

I saw one the other day that was intriguing, from a guy with a cardboard sign on a corner.

"Will work for food". His buddy at the next corner had one that said "...hungry, and so are my kids...please help with food".

I'm thinking of a bumper sticker for my survey buggy that says "will survey for food". It seems many of us all should form a "not for profit" organization, or so these John Q's think.

Resume, kinda odd for us geezers eh .... Loyal, I could send you mine as a template if you want. Then you can hire me... 😉

things went sour there after a bit so I went north with some folks that where looking to subdivide. I helped write the legals for the 12 brothers- they're recorded in some book somewhere. here's a non- certified copy of the map I made...
There have been some boundary disputes there with the neighbors, but it was pretty well squared away when I left....

I send a copy of my license hanging on the wall and note that it is legal to use most anywhere in Texas, with a few exceptions that I will discuss if asked.

If the money is worth all the paperwork involved with a project like that, I might comply.

i assume that you asked the client for a copy of their credit report, bank statement, finanacial references, etc. if they were an individual, or a copy of their balance sheet, income statement, client references, previous projects, accounts payables ledger, accounts recievables ledger, etc. if they were a business.

it's a two way street B-)
