More important, do you have brass balls?
Post your resume here - with or without your real name - and we'll critique it. We'll also make ass-fun of you. No, I haven't 'updated' mine in 20 years.

I understand completely. Rejected romance doesn't hold a candle to unappreciated skills and resumes are the single most unappealing chore I can imagine.

There's a lot I'd do for y'all's amusement, but not that. Oh, God.

Please. It's on enough sites and under enough scrutiny from people that actually matter. I've been to every sort of local help available, and all they seemed to direct me to do was dumb it down farther than I ever believed possible. It's just that the market sucks, and folks who could do a lot better are being forced to take far inferior jobs just for the scratch. I'm right in that boat. The instant I put management experience on there, I doom myself for half the open jobs in this area.
Resumés need to be tailored to each skill set, if not each potential employer, should be accompanied by customized cover letters, and followed up by thank-you crap even if you get no response (at least, as long as you considered the company worth striving for). There is absolutely no way HS members can or should be allowed to critique such things, unless there is someone here willing to out him- or herself as an HR/management professional. I would respect comments from no one less. It doesn't matter what's succeeded for one person, in one place. We're all pretty screwed, spread out as we are.
Regardless, my mother (educational administrator and management instructor, 20 years) was giving a seminar on job seeking in the current economy and actually turned to me for talking points she could use in one of her volunteer presentations (the bitch is retired). If you are currently unemployed/underemployed, then right-click [REDACTED]. I wrote it nearly five months after living on the government cheese, and let's just say that AZ's idea of 'cheese' is closer to processed American than brie or roquefort.

Thanks, Pale. You might want to scrub your personal details from the document properties... unless it doesn't matter to you.

Considering all I've said about privacy protection, then I guess I'm compelled to withdraw it. I really didn't mind HS folk perusing (or being persnickety, as you've clearly done). I can strip the metadata from the doc if I wanted but, right now, I just don't care enough.

Not trying to ruin your day, Pale... was just trying to help protect you.
But if you want to be that way about it, hey, your prerogative, pal.

I surmised as much. Which still didn't make it less annoying, but I don't hold it against you, personally. Like I said, I could manually strip the file, but I really didn't give a thought about it, and I guess that's how most people get fucked. So, adios file.
If I find the patience over the weekend to make a true dummy copy of the MBA-level pre-employment practices, then I'll repost. Otherwise, I can probably do an inline summarization, if anyone truly cares. Please raise your hand if you actually want to have the components of a presentation given by the former dean of a Keller/DeVry graduate business school. Otherwise, you've fucked yourself, and there is no lesser job that couldn't benefit from it. Thanks to my lack of anonymizing boo-boo, you don't get shit because I'm supposed to be afraid you'll misuse my actual name and IP address, among other things only a passer-by would glom, and of which--ostensibly--WAST is trying to warn me, mostly sensibly.

If you've got a throwaway gmail account you could always upload the file to Google Apps. It takes a couple of seconds, it'll make it easier for people to read it from their browser, strip out the metadata, and take care of hosting the file.

Really? Do tell me about it.
As for 'stripping' the file, that's bumfuck easy... just save it as an HTML file instead of a DOC file and all that nasty metadata simply goes away.
Here, I even did it for you:

Are you sure? The "Gay Porn" industry is probably larger than you think.
